Imagine meeting the most handsome goofiest genderweird butch you’ve ever seen and she has a dedicated probably monogamous boyfriend who to be fair is actually a pretty cool dude and you’re devastated that you can’t shoot your shot. Then you find out that up until last year boyfriend was certain he was gay and then he met this handsome goofy genderweird butch and was like oh I like women. Or at least women who are also men sometimes. So I’m bisexual. Also to make things more confusing they’re both veterans who are actually pretty staunchly anti-military and hate every admiral they’ve ever encountered and the butch only went into the military because she desperately needed healthcare coverage for her father and the boyfriend was like. A legacy military brat who realized this is all pretty fucked actually. Congratulations you have encountered modern day Mulan and Li Shang

Big fan of how this has gotten a fair amount of tags that are a long the lines of “that last line hit me like a TRUCK” in surprise. And yet no one has disagreed with me. I’m taking that as a sign that I’m RIGHT

how could I forget to mention it’s Whio Awareness Week babey!!!

The Whio (or blue duck) is rarer than some species of kiwi in Aotearoa. There’s an estimated less than 3,000 left, though multiple recovery programmes are currently making headway on protecting and boosting their populations!

They are an incredibly iconic species found in fast flowing waterways (I’ve personally always seen them in mountain ranges), and they’re criminally underrated. Here’s some photos via WhioForever on Insta.

One cool place you can donate to is the Ruahine Whio Protectors:

They also have calendars and shirts! (Not too sure about support from outside of the country though, sorry guys!)

And here’s a complete list of the organisations and groups working with Whio conservation and protection:

Hi Eleanor! I thought you'd appreciate my favourite picture of a "tree", which looks exactly how kids draw them and was very uncanny in person:

I know that realistically you can only fit so many movies into a list of approximately 100, but I cannot take that “How many of tumblr’s favorite movies have you seen?” list that’s been going around seriously because there are some truly egregious omissions.

Some of it is very clearly recency bias, which makes me wonder if the op truly wasn’t on here in 2013 or so, but you’re telling me you made a list of “tumblr’s favorite movies” that doesn’t include Pacific Rim or Mad Max: Fury Road? Because, like, I was there, Gandalf.

I’m a ridiculous human and genuinely couldn’t sleep until I tried my hand at a better, more balanced list – though of course, I have my own biases when it comes to what corners of this website I’ve lurked in over the years. For what it’s worth, I did consult the last several Years In Review, while also drawing on the fact that I’ve been here for over a decade. But if there’s anything that truly doesn’t feel like it should have made the cut, blame my mutuals for putting it on my dash all the time.

(And apologies, but I couldn’t seem to find Goncharov among the website’s listings)

How many of these have you seen?

Should go without saying but never date a cop and christ never marry one. Rule of thumb if he’s legally untouchable he’s ethically unfuckable. You don’t like that cop, you like buff men in tight clothing. I can show you more of those, better ones. Take my hand.

Hi guys. This post ain’t about stereotyping random professions (farriers????), it’s about how cops are effectively legally untouchable and if they hurt you, you have virtually no recourse. A quality that none of those other professions have. It’s the inherent power imbalance of being bound to someone who can’t be prosecuted.

The “firemen cheat” thing is actually a myth, union workers are both hot and professionally stable, paramedics are stressed out but otherwise fine, physical workers are not inferior to “thinkers” don’t be fuckin classist, and “watch out for Farriers” is maybe the funniest thing anyone’s ever said on this post.

like the fuck are they gonna do lmao

Having beef with the horse cobbler is objectively hilarious
