URGENT: I’m at immediate risk of homelessness if I can’t clear a £2.5k debt to the council TODAY. PLEASE HELP. I can’t be homeless in the UK as a disabled, trans Iranian right now. Your contribution could save my life. https://t.co/Nskxbim3Jd

i don’t want to know if you love them enough to defy everyone, i want to know if you love them enough to politically destabilize your country and ensure that any children you might have will never sleep easily a single night of their lives

the key to forbidden love with feudal royalty characters is that it’s not really about them. it’s not about whether they would die for love, it’s about whether they’ll let other people die for it. it’s about whether they would choose the carnage of an ensuing civil war for love

i am never more aware of my own ego than when people talk about how stupid and ashamed you feel when other people hate something you really liked because my response to that happening is not to feel stupid, it’s “damn, everyone else just doesn’t have taste as good as mine”

i also went full gollum on a very nice rare steak. it was a lovely dinner

i just ate an anchovy for the first time and i’m going to be honest i feel kind of lied to because people always talk about how gross anchovies are and it was really quite good. people are out here gatekeeping the anchovy

the most important thing to know if one of your friends is about to do a phd is that you will be hearing about someone in that phd program with them who is just biblically evil. just a truly terrible person. it’s unavoidable, you cannot stop it. just be prepared

Photo study but I didn’t finish it

that being said, it is probably true that nothing could be more in the spirit of tolkien than including complicated linguistic details lost on the average person. maybe we should get more confusing. ladino dwarves. have people asking why the dwarves are spanish

i’m not saying yiddish speaking or accented dwarves would be bad it’s just when people suggest that for an adaptation i want to know if they are prepared for yiddish speaking dwarves to just read as german to 99% of audiences. i want to know if you’ve heard yiddish spoken

the bad part about having seen a substantial amount of grey’s anatomy is that you’re aware that everything is grey’s anatomy. you see any fanfiction or schlocky romance concept involving some kind of doctor or medical situation melodrama and you’re like oh i know what this is

a year (and a day oops) since i made my rook so here they are wooo #dragonage

calling anyone or anything that’s even mildly quirky autistic is the 2020s equivalent of the way people in the 2000s would say anyone in a mood was bipolar

look at this famous middle aged man and woman! see how she still looks perfect whereas he has aged? yeah it’s because she’s just a better person than he is. no, i don’t think it’s related to the fact that she will be utterly discarded if she’s ugly whereas he won’t. surely not

huge fan of the email i received from the local animal hospital vaguely implying that my cat was in the armed forces at some point by saying they were honoring our heroes this veterans day with a 5% off sale for hawthorn the cat

love when tolkien says things like “wolves there were, or creatures that walked in wolf-shapes”. love to be told there are wolves or, well, at least things that are choosing to look like wolves

i think the great lakes are underutilized as a horror element, personally. it is so unsettling that things do not rot very much in them so there are 19th century ships at the bottom with the ropes still on the masts

the wreck of the edmund fitzgerald is a banger but it does make you understand why people used to write laments because very few of us would have heard of or remember the loss of a great lakes freighter in the 70s if not for one of the songs of all time being written about it

woke up at 5am, posted this, and immediately fell back asleep….the degree to which this was burdening me while half conscious…..
