    Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

    The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

    These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

    These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

    Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

    Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

    Adding that to yet another reason that local Tesla repair center is so slammed all the time. There's protests in front of it every so often.

  • Genuine question. if you were a character in a piece of media, would YOU be considered good queer rep? no need to elaborate but you can if you wish. (i think i will make a specific poll later about ONLY transness, about only Aspecs, then lesbians gays and bisexuals, cuz i think there are diff standards of hood queer rep for these, but this poll is generalist for the whole LGBT+ community)

    Yes

    No

    I personally see myself as being judged as not good queer rep, as aroace who dates, "feminine" trans, "emotionless" trope, alien/robot/outsider coded, etc.

    This poll is because i am often thinking about characters that are considered bad rep, but I know people in real life are LIKE THAT and identity is messy! In my opnion bad queer rep would be the ones that are shown or touched upon on screen. Idk, just wondering.


    Edit: lmao i wrote hood isntead of good and tumblr didnt let me edit

  • "came back wrong" what about Came Back Afraid. You used to be brave. Too brave maybe, defying the odds at every turn, a fighter, cocky, playing with fire, first to throw yourself at the enemy. Until one day it all caught up to you. You came back, somehow, but now you know all too intimately how it feels to lose, to die, to be destroyed. Now you flinch and freeze and cower at the slightest provocation. Who even are you now if you can't be brave? The grave may have let you go, but the mortal fear still grips you tighter than ever.
