So Fox News ran a story about how they think libraries are turning into drug-infested sex dens and I am shocked, shocked that I was never offered any drugs during my 15+ years working in libraries.
newbie fic authors, shooting themselves in the foot: This fic is bad haha I suck at writing lol I am being mean to myself in the hopes that you will be nice to me but actually am dissuading anyone from even clicking on my fic because all I have done to advertise it is tell you why you shouldn't read it
me: I am King Big Dick of Fanfic Mountain and I have arrived in your fandom with the Express Intention of writing my Very Favorite Fics, which I will generously allow you to read. You're welcome.
So we all know that Tumblr is US-centric. But to what degree? (and can we skew the results of this poll by posting it at a time where they should be asleep?)
To anyone who believes fairy tale romances never happen in real life, may I remind you that JRR and Edith Tolkien met and experienced a forbidden love in their youth, and then were separated for five whole years because of his guardian’s rules that he could not date till he was 21, and she got engaged to someone else only because she assumed he’d forgotten her and lost hope that she could ever be with him, but then on his 21st birthday, he wrote her a letter saying he still loved her and wanted to marry her, she responded basically saying ‘if I’d known you hadn’t left me on the shelf, I would never have said yes to anyone else,’ then a week later she greeted him at the train station and then immediately dumped her fiancé, and they got married and she converted to his religion and danced for him in a flowering field far away from the trenches into which he was drafted, which left such an impression that he crafted an entire story about the most beautiful maiden in the world who danced in the woods and made enormous sacrifices to be with the man she loved, and they had four kids and remained faithful to each other and blissfully grew old together and their gravestones are now marked with the names of that same fictional couple that he created, who broke every rule and overcame every possible obstacle to be together and get a happy ending, who only did all that because he based it all on their own real love story.
i do feel kinda bad about letting doof x perry through honestly 😅 like i feel like some people who find the polls through the tags are voting for it just because they like the ship and not because they really believe it counts as crack, and that's not fair to the other ships
but i'm not willing to disqualify it without at least checking if that's what you guys actually want. and if we do disqualify it i'd give onceler x warden another chance and see whether that or hooty x duo should advance to round 3
Sometimes reading Arthuriana feels like reading Alice in Wonderland.
“Well,” said Alice, “these are a dreadfully strange assortment of objects!”
“They all symbolize different aspects of Our Lord’s martyrdom,” said the Fisher King, casting a line into his teacup.
“Indeed. I am sure everything symbolizes something else, for if everything was only itself I should be very confused. Might I ask what the point of the bleeding lance is?”
Alice regretted asking the question as soon as she had done so, for she saw the pun that would likely be made about the word point. Instead, however, the room erupted in applause and shouts of “The Grail! She has achieved the Grail!”
The next castle she visited, Alice resolved to herself as the inhabitants of this one danced for joy, would be more sensible.
really love seeing them interact at work and building a friendship during working hours

well, it's important to learn how to organize and problem-solve independently, but it's also important to learn that you can & should ask for help when you need it. right? (looking at kawakami) RIGHT?
I am looking at the website for the Irish National Party and oh my god
"We stand against the corrupt and amoral establishment who push replacement level immigration which will in time completely destroy Irish nationality" they're just fucking saying it
this isn't hidden this is right on their homepage
naturally they're anti-EU, despite the smell of burning sewage emanating from the absolute landfill-fire that is Brexit right next door
(but they'll happily take EU money by running for the European Parliamentary elections)
not only are they racists, they're also utterly fucking CRINGE
"that assembly of traitors called Dáil Éireann"
"Those who cheer the loudest for a post-Irish Ireland must be exposed for the knaves and deceivers they are."
(a "post-Irish Ireland" would be one that upholds International Rights, because those are bad)
"we must not allow traitors to define the boundaries of Irish nationhood"
in news that will surprise no-one, they're anti-abortion and pro-capital punishment
they have eleven principles that are all pie in the sky nonsense, no housing policy, no environmental policy, just a load of shit like "make everyone speak Irish again" and "encourage Mike from Boston to come back home" (to live in houses that don't exist)
they're fielding nine candidates in the upcoming local elections but sadly not in my constituency. I was looking forward to answering the door to one and telling them to get off my property.
