over and over again into oblivion

“trans-inclusive radfem” yeah, cool. you think cis AND trans men are evil. great. such an improvement to the belief

"they brought back the dire wolf" they fucking made a GMO wolf with the millions they got from stupid idiot rich people investors who go googoogaga eyed over being told that the company could "bring back" extinct animals if some rich idiots gave them millions of dollars.

WHAT ABOUT THE BUGS. WHAT ABOUT OUR AMPHIBIANS. WOOLY MICE WON'T SAVE HUMANITY.

everyone who is optimistic and hopeful about Colossal Biosciences, you're very kind and sweet. I'm not. I think they're asshole, they're grifters, they want to make as much money as possible and peddle it as saving the earth (Elon Musk ringing a bell) while helping plunder the working class of their wealth so that they can keep making rich people things for rich people, which in turn acts as a mask and as cheap entertainment for the working class.

no tech startup is going to save us. no billionaire is going to save us. no millionaire. we need to save ourselves.

cool and awesome. their goal is to privatize animal conservation BTW.

i really love it when people here are “not normal” about the things they love. yes!! break down the scene that you’ve been obsessing over for weeks! create incredibly intricate theories based on a few throwaway lines! explain why you love this character so much—458 reasons and counting, and with visual aids! i love to see people putting their heart and soul into not being normal!!!

it disturbs me that a significant number of people think that the issue with sexual violence, gendered violence, and misogyny is sexual desire rather than dehumanization, so they are relentlessly suspicious of others' (and their own) desires while simultaneously never at all interrogating others' (and their own) dehumanizing beliefs about other people, both within and outside of sexual contexts

oh fuck yeah

the real true purpose of having a brain is to think about fictional characters

Sports commentators

"I can't believe [media] was actually about _____ the whole time!!!"

so much of being an ok person is just 1) not panicking, 2) not taking things personally, and 3) not letting the vindictive gargoyle that lives in your head tell you what to do. this sucks because brains love doing those things

still astonished that there are people who really refer to Twitter as "x" now. Even in casual conversation. You don't need to do that.

some of y'all fundamentally misunderstand my favorite characters but im being sooooo normal and mature about it. i haven't even killed anyone yet

I NEED A SICKO... im holding out for a sicko till the end of the night ..and hes gotta haha and hes gotta say yess at the window with a look of delight

it’s awesome how we have unlimited chances to become a better version of ourselves

Continuing on from here my personal take on writing romance is there are three essential components: care/affection, profound mutual understanding and intense mutual admiration.

If you have all three you have the bones for something not just functional but aspirational. If you have the first and second but not the third, you have something that may be more of a deep, strong friendship but I can understand and appreciate the romantic overtones. If you have the second and third but not the first that's classic archenemy-shipping. If you have the first and third but are struggling on the second you have the bones of a painful tragedy. If you only have one, then what you have is probably not a romance, and my real quarrel is with people who think you only need the first.
