Ask/Dm me if you want my pagan or witchy blogs
Don’t pull me into drama. By default I won’t reblog call out posts, because for every one valid one I’ve seen twenty full of actually-not-a-problem details used as a harassment campaign.
If you want to warn me about someone I reblog from and it’s not something in their header/pinned post, pls provide proof. I don’t have the time to go digging through a blog.
I’d like to live through a week that’s not a whole new verse of “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
#dated three four years ago is really what makes this one#sorry op if you still have notifications on for this one#but hoo-wee did you hit on the sentiment of the decade
I do have notifications still on for this post because I love the sense of community it gives me. We're all just staring at each other blankly and occasionally screaming.
Also for the people who have post dates turned on and just go JESUS CHRIST FOUR YEARS AGO?!
It's so weird to me when people are like 'but that will cost the government money!' So what? They're the government, they're supposed to be spending money. What, you want them to take your tax dollars and then do nothing with it? Lock it all up in a big government vault and just look at it? Why are you so scared of giving a third grader lunch or a homeless person a house.
someone put this screenshot in my notes and i wasn't gonna put the op on blast but i cannot stop thinking about it. this is up there as one of the funniest doubling downs i've ever seen. "it's called craft. it's called storytelling." is going to enter my meme vernacular and no one is going to have any idea what i'm talking about. the count of monte cristo shows a clear lack of craft in its wordcount. if only ernest hemingway's editor had killed more of his darlings while he wrote for whom the bell tolls. readers and editors alike are always complaining about how fucking long to kill a mockingbird is.

Really starting to take this whole austerity shit too far huh.
a theory from @solitarelee in the groupchat last night:
I think so much of the outlook over fandom would change if many people treated it like it is: a goddamn hobby.
A fandom group is no better nor more revolutionary than a knitting club. It can replicate any real world biases and discriminations and it can also be used to raise money/group people towards causes. It can foster connections that will turn to actual real political action or it can just be a gathering of people who don't know much about each other outside of it.
It can be lovely to experience when you're surrounded by a lovely group and it can be hell when the group is full of cattiness and pettiness . It can be inclusive or it can be exclusive when you're surrounded by bigotry.
Because it's a group of people - it's going to have problems. And when there's a conflict or people are pointing shit out, it needs to be solved so its members aren't spit out in the sake of "avoiding drama". Because it's a group of people, it's not automatically changing the world in a blaze of self grandeur. Because it's a group of people with a common hobby, it can impact its members lives for the better and give them a space to express themselves.
Fandom is a goddamn knitting club. It's not this inherent great, subversive force of good nor this den of evil that's traumatisizing the children. Chill out.
I’m so happy I got this shot earlier holy shit
the gays in your neighborhood figured out beam attacks
reposted from r/ao3 in reference to antis, but this applies how a lot of leftists approach many other topics
i keep a list of the names of dudes id like to see sucking the strap written on an old dusty scroll
Daily reminder: Transphobia actively contributes to sexism. If you don’t fit the beauty standard and are seen as masculine in any way shape or form, you are seen as transgender and as a “problem”
I think it's incredibly important here to not overlook the fact that she is a Black woman. Transphobia, racism, and sexism overlap significantly because of the incredibly eurocentric beauty standards women are judged on.
youre so right
can we reintroduce “disturbing” back into the popular lexicon in place of most uses of “traumatizing”
Hello! If you have the ability to, please consider buying the fatphotoref Archive! It helps me out a ton and I really want to put more time into making new photo refs for everyone to use but currently work two jobs and just don't have the time. This helps me cut back on job #2!
It's a mega pack of over 1,000 photos, neatly sorted for your convenience. Every photo I've ever done for fatphotoref is here in one download!
Thought some of our artist followers might find this helpful.

art idea i've had since last night
Western history loves to brag about their geniuses, philosophers, thinkers, and innovators throughout history but as far as I know, nobody talks about geniuses in non western history. Why can’t an Aztec community have their neighborhood Einstein who loved to study engineering and physics and helped build an efficient-running town?
Reblog is you're uncomfortable with how eurocentric our understanding of history is.
Numerous Egyptian murals: literally explain that stone blocks and large sculptures were transported using water
“Ancient Aliens” fuckos:
say it with me: it's the racism
I agree with the stuff about history but those channels are known to be blatant cash grabs and they use machinery not just sticks
This guy is legit tho and the scale of what can be done with one guy should put things into perspective.
Love this guy remember when he moved out to the new property and casually filmed a cassowary grazing there from like 2m away and we were all like "of course you've got fucking cassowaries and aren't bothered"
