Snopes is struggling due to mounting legal fees and they are a crucial organization for the fucked up, anti-truth time we’re currently living in, so I’m donating what I can and also writing drabbles* in exchange for any level of donation.

If you donate $50+, I am also willing to update the WIP of your choice lol 

Just donate & send me a screenshot and a prompt/pairing. 

Here’s the letter from the Snopes page describing the issue: November 1, 2019 by David Mikkelson, Organizer Dear Readers, We wish we had better news, but they have filed another appeal. This time they’re appealing our successful defense of our First Amendment rights. Parties suing us — including newly minted CEO of Salon.com, Chris Richmond — have spent years filing losing motions, asking for continuances, changing legal counsel, and appealing adverse rulings. It is all part of a scheme, our counsel wrote, “to ‘bring legal hell’ on Snopes employees in retaliation for terminating Snopes’ contract with Proper Media.” Even the court described their tactics as “hostile.” With the truth on our side, we have foiled their attempts so far. But now the case will drag on even longer and legal fees will continue to drain our revenues, threatening Snopes’ existence. But even while they try to drag us down, we are showing up to make Snopes work better for you. Soon we will bring you two major new developments: A membership program that will reward sustaining Snopes supporters with special features and exclusive content. And Snopes News, a feed without the falsity, where you can find headlines of the day curated by fact-checkers and editors you know you can trust. Sign up for updates here. So long as we have your support, we will not give up. Make a contribution today to defend Snopes. Truthfully yours, Team Snopes I’d like to add Snopes is one of THE most trusted sources out there, and if it goes we will lose a great deal

ouch 

but really though her name is like

reminder that this is still my top post of all time

For good reason.

I’m a simple gal. I see a pretty girl character and I draw the heck out of them. 

Whenever someone tries to claim that evolution is a lie, I send them a picture of platybelodon.

1. It’s an excellent example of transitional evolution.

2. It’s a mess who would intentionally do this and why

3. It makes them piss themselves a little.

“Evolution is just a theory-”

Oh good god

I couldn’t help but wonder what this absolute bastard of a skull would look like, and

I was not disappointed. But I was terrified.

OK but what is fucking killing me is that this whole argument, while brilliant, is this:

Godzilla vs. Mechagodzilla II (1993)

It’s that time again where I make sure you all know there’s a new Lindsay Ellis video.

There’s a new Lindsay Ellis video.

Honestly I miss the energy Tumblr had when the first Pacfic Rim movie came out. Everybody was talking about who they were drift compatible with and that was like a huge compliment. Ppl were drawing Kaijus, and Jaegers, naming ‘em. It was a better time

EVERYONE STOP AND LOOK AT THIS

Have you ever heard of Shaun Keenan? Probably not, but you have now.

I’ve been following this guy for a while on Instagram, and since this original post he’s expanded his series to include a variety of cultures beyond the American West.

Way back in the 1980s, Shinji Nishikawa (aka MASH) released a doujinshi called Godzilla Legend which eventually helped him land a job at Toho.

You can see some scans HERE.

Making of Godzilla Legend isn’t an autobio comic of Nishikawa hunched over his desk, but instead “behind the scenes” pictures and vignettes of the cast of Godzilla Legend that make it look like the doujinshi was a real tokusatsu movie.

Literally the best line in the movie and yet the entire moral debate it brings up is left almost totally unexplored.
