awh hey thank u dad
As a nonbinary person it feels uncomfortable when strangers perceive my partner and I as a straight couple,
But it's hilarious to me when they perceive us as father and son.
"Does he have his own luggage?" the agent behind the check-in desk asks brightly, making eye contact with my partner.
"Just carry-on," I say as I slide my driver's license across the counter toward her. Confusion dawns on her face. She glances up at me briefly before printing my boarding pass in silence.
"A soap making booth!" I exclaim. I've been to the renaissance faire a dozen times but I've never visited this shop. "Let's make soap!"
"First you have to ask your Responsible Adult for five dollars," says the vendor in a measured, singsong voice, and wags her index finger at me.
I look around, confused. Who is she talking about? Does she mean the young man trailing behind me? I turn back to her.
"I have five dollars ..."
"Well you still have to ask him," she smiles sweetly.
As I open my mouth to ask why, I suddenly realize she has misjudged my age by at least two decades.
"I'm older than he is," is all I can think of to say.
"Would you like a children's menu?"
"Sure, and if you're taking drink orders, I could also go for a Corona."
Hey op?
HOW???
I'm short
oops
think i figured out how to replicate this (you're welcome dev team (btw hire me @staff))
- write a tag
- copy text from a tag that has the #
- paste that text into a tag youre *editing* (doesnt seem to trigger on new tags)
i love characters that are just a cunt. no redeeming characteristics. just there to stir shit up and scheme. cause a ruckus. get on everyone's nerves.
I just saw a story on AO3 tagged "pet p!ay"
TIK TOK MUST BE STOPPED BEFORE IT DESTROYS LANGUAGE
Ok, unless something's going on I'm not aware of (extremely likely), I gotta point out the term "Pet Play" is significantly older than Tik Tok, or most of its userbase for that matter.
Yeah, I'm not mad about using the term "pet play". That's a perfectly fine term. I'm mad because they didn't use that term: they used "pet p!ay", a censored version
Oh. Oh gawd I missed that. Objection withdrawn, that is objectively terrible.
To anybody who is new to posting on ao3, if you’re using a tag you have to use the correct spelling of that tag. People aren’t going to type in every version of a censored word to hide or look for your content 
For everyone new to tumblr, the same rule applies to tumblr too.
You cannot censor your tags! Censored tags cannot be block or filtered. Censoring tags HARMS your audience, it does not protect them
At first Netflix said, come write for us. We’ll save your cancelled shows and write about whatever niche story you want. Our algorithm says people will watch it!
Then a few years later they said, regardless of our promises or contract obligations we are cancelling shows after two seasons without telling anyone. Turns out no matter how loved a show is, we get less subscriptions after the second season.
How many subscriptions did we bring you? Netflix won’t say.
So writers started writing two season shows. Just give us two seasons, Netflix. Like you promised.
Then Netflix said, oops sorry! Turns out your show didn’t premiere at #1 and the views in the first day weren’t what we wanted so we’re cancelling your second season.
What were the numbers? How many people watched our show? Netflix doesn’t say.
Then, they did something extra special. They started taking shows and splitting their first season into two halves. Inside Job was not two seasons. It was one season split in half.
Oops! Sorry! The second half of your first season didn’t do as well as the first half, so now your show is cancelled!
Why? How many people? How much money? These companies are making cash hand over fist and they refuse to tell people the truth: people loved your show. Loved it. But some corpo exec wanted an infinite money making machine. Do you know how long shows are in production for before you watch them? Years. Like, 5+, even 10+ years. And Netflix gives it less than a week before they decide whether you’re getting cancelled.

i want more autistic rep that is just genuinely not smart. like not infantilized or like every disabled stereotype ever put to film i mean like, autistic people that aren't savants at anything and are just awkward talking to people and they dont get academics very well and they jump to the wildest conclusions possible and theyre really into random shit that theyre not even good at but you still love them because theyre chill and nice. more of those please i need more incompetent untalented autistics like ME
It is also important to me that these things are not the butt of a joke
"That sexy bimbo? He's autistic."
(pointing to myself in the mirror)
Thinking about the time I lost a game of Overwatch and I was so mad about it that I genuinely considered getting into shit with the other team in chat and then realized that it was a colossal waste of my living breathing Human Time and uninstalled Overwatch instead because it was only making me angry.
And then thought about the OTHER time when I was on TikTok and realized I was Not Enjoying Myself and was, in fact, seeing so many sad videos and fake influencer ads that I felt Truly Despondent and then just…Deleted it.
Imo I want my social media /general media experience to be a pleasant break from real world and I get to decide what I get to cull to make that a reality for myself. I highly reccomended it! Life has improved considerably!
As many people in the tags have said:
I fully understand that most sex-related studies are for obvious reasons probably not using a double blind protocol, but I have to confess that every time I see a journal headline about, say, the health benefits of oral sex or whatnot, the first question that pops into my mind is "how do you administer a placebo blowjob?"
The comments on this one...
found this informative, about how studios are going to attempt to use influencers (particularly small ones) to try to cross pickets by paying a lot for movie promos, and that SAG-AFTRA likely will not let you in if you do this. my suspicion is they're hoping people won't understand the implications so wanted to spread the word!!
Very important note here, yes.
PROMOTION is part of an actor's job. And it's one of the things they're not allowed to do on strike.
SAG Actors are not allowed to do promotions at ComicCon this year. They can attend, as long as they don't:
- Participate in specific-show promotions (e.g. "five years later - actors of X series")
- Talk about their current work
- Talk about upcoming work
They are encouraged not to attend at all, in part because those are complex issues and it's easy to trip on them.
TikTok and YouTube INFLUENCERS are likely to be contacted by studios and told, "how would you like to make a LOT of money, talking about this show?"
...Do not take the poisoned bait.
That counts as crossing the picket line, and would result in:
- Being banned from SAG-AFTRA membership for life, and
- Possibly being blocked from other union jobs if they find out that you scabbed during a strike.
There is considerable evidence that the neanderthals went extinct not necessarily because of violence with humans but because we fucked em so much they got assimilated into our gene pool
