trucy: hang on polly you have a hair on you—oh, it’s long and…blonde. again.

apollo, internally: oh my god they’re all going to think i’m STRAIGHT and that i’m sleeping with a WOMAN

trucy, athena, and wright all thinking: oh that’s for sure klavier’s :/

#ace attorney #klapollo #aa incorrect quotes #apollo justice #klavier gavin #take apollo’s tone as you will #because sometimes people assuming i’m straight is like the actual worst thing you could do to me😤 #but sometimes i feel like a secret agent😏 like yes😏 hello fellow straights😏😏 #also i like the idea that apollo is just SO intent on minding his own business #that he doesn’t even realize that everyone he knows is gay #like he’s so smart if he thought about it he’d realize immediately but like man is too busy thinking about law for that sorry #so he’s just habitually ‘hello fellow straights’-ing them and they are ALL confused #me projecting tbh i’d rather die than let most coworkers know absolutely anything of value about my life😤 #which works until one of them IS actually nice and chill and cool #and then they get blindsided when you finally reveal that you actually DO have a personality lol

Eddie and Steve pronouncing ufo ‘oofo’ just to annoy Dustin

-Steve, Eddie and Dustin star gazing on Dustin’s lawn after dropping him off-

Steve: Woah! Did you guys see that?? I think it was an oofo!

Dustin: what the fuck? An ‘oofo’? It’s a UFO. Unidentified flying object. UFO.

Eddie: nah I’m pretty sure it’s an oofo, kid. I actually don’t think I’ve ever heard it the way you said it. Definitely an oofo

Dustin: I hate you both

Steve and Eddie, reaching over dustin to hold hands: no you don’t :)

The Blackfish narrowed his eyes. "Did your father arrange for that as well? Catelyn never trusted the boy, as I recall, no more than she ever trusted Theon Greyjoy. It would seem she was right about them both.”

The way book readers look at this quote and because we love Jon and want everyone to love him too, we come up with all these convoluted theories about how the Blackfish is secretly trying to protect Jon from the Lannisters and hide that he’s the KiTN so he can go and fight for Jon’s cause…..but ignore the most obvious explanation that the man has chosen to believe the words of HIS NIECE, whom he trusts and who has a very negative view of the boy, at face value. Like he doesn’t know Jon personally. At all. This isn’t evidence of a conspiracy to crown Jon king. This is merely showing us that even smart and extremely capable people like the Blackfish can be wrong about things and people. It’s really that simple 🙂

#I mean it sucks for jonathan that everyone is so mean to him but like - people do be wrong about perfectly fine children all the time #and poor jonno has the plight of being a bastard (hello prejudice!) who has risen through the ranks at a very young age #and at the tail end of a civil war won by the lannisters #ok but like don’t get me wrong I’m not defending blackfish here at all #as smart as he is I do think that it’s pretty stupid to expect that NED STARK’s son would be a lannister shill #but y’know 🤷🏽‍♀️ #jon snow #the blackfish #asoiaf #valyrianscrolls

do you ever consume a piece of media that speaks to your soul and changes you as a person and inspires hope and excitement in you, and after finishing the story you gleefully open AO3, excited to see works by authors who were touched by those characters as you were, who were inspired by that narrative as you were, authors who you think must be similar to you on some fundamental level because who else would spend real time on transformative works about this story. and you open the tag and start scrolling and realize immediately that everyone else got something very different out of this than you did

#yes i know i'm yucking someone else's yum i am allowed to do that #and yes i have written the fic i want to read #but come on #why do i have to live in the timeline where miguel o'hara/reader is the most popular relationship in the spiderverse fic tag #why can't people have correct opinions and be so smart and sexy all the time like meeee #hello i am complaining bc i am bored at work don't mind me

So I've never watched R.emo W.illiams but a scene popped up on Y.outube today and reminded me Roman's dogs were a thing. Change the breed from D.obermanns to R.ottweilers and you've got Rocco and Dante working hard to make Roman a happy man.

#💀 || musings #dogs tw #dogs cw #The scene really sparked my interest in how well-trained these dogs are #Especially for a movie from 1985! #Everything is all tasteless CGI now but I liked the scene and hope the dogs were treated well #No jokes Rocco and Dante are SMART dogs #They would think and work things out on how to get to people #Hello everybody I hope you are all doing well! #I'm a little tired but wonderfully well-rested up after a few days of naps! #Feeling a bit more spark coming in so watched a bit of this and that to provide fresh inspiration after it got knocked out of me last week #💀 || headcanons #Also Rocco might just be smart enough to figure out who Batman is #Trouble is as he's a dog he can't tell Roman :')

if elon musk ever tried to put a chip in my brain i'd end up killing either him or myself. one of us has to die for that.

#i don't need a computer chip in my head girl wtf!! and ESPECIALLY not from the guy who is terminally bad at managing major projects!!!! #like.. the public failure of the modern entrepreneurial spirit!! hello!!! #sorry i just saw another article about elon musk's bullshit computer chip plans and im... AAA #like here's the thing!! cybernetics are really fucking cool and are literally lifechanging for so many people #i have a friend who has a new insulin pump thats basically ''smart tech'' and it has completely changed her life and made her type 1 #so much more manageable and i wish everyone who wanted that sort of tech could get it without having any worries #but its the fact that this tech is in the hands of corporations who are so so focused on abusing their power for profit that worries me #and ESPECIALLY when we circle back to the elon musk bs i start to gnaw the bars of my cage bc like #talk about THE WORST PERSON IN THE FUCKING WORLD. TO TRUST WITH PATENTS FOR LIFE CHANGING TECHNOLOGY.. #not to mention programmer bias on top of the capitalist hellscape we live in and like. the inherent biases of so much ''smart tech.'' #im on the ground. #cricket.chatterbox

you'd think the percy jackson trailer would make me excited to watch it but no it just reminded me that actually i hated half of the characters from the book

#i know that annabeth is a popular character but I cannot stand her percy deserves better #he really said annabeth was the most powerful demigod like percy you blew up a volcano nico can command armys of the dead #was she even the most powerful because she is smart? not really everyone demigod in that series is smart #justice for grover though he deserves better #am i going to watch it to see my boy nico? oh yeah absolutely #now that I'm past my im not like other girls phase i can safely say rick did the aphrodite cabin dirty they also deserved better #you know who else deserved better? sally jackson #posideon was still into sally she absolutely should have gotten back together with him and then his wife undersea polycule #i might not watch the series but i will watch the part where sally gets rid of gabe #poseidon really speaks of sally in such a reverent tone he respects her so much and sally gets married and is pregnant again? #absolutely not rick did her dirty sally deserves to have a god in her back pocket #i did hate that some of the demigods got together and the excuse was oh theres no dna so its technically not in*est #come on their 12 and in need of therapy let them not date #the clarisse/silena achilles/patroclus parallels though *chefs kiss* #wow i really got long winded in the tags but you know percy deserves better and so does sally #and percy should unionize the demigods and people should stop being mean to the hades kids #because they are the best and also have the sickest powers hello they can travel through shadows? my anxiety is jealous #i also disliked thalia yet i don't know why #percy nico bianca and thalia should have teamed up and been like see dads it's entirely possible to get on

i really have a hard time with dealing with how people talk about dv or rather DON'T talk about it. The way i see it, this is practically the #1 feminist issue because it basically epitomizes the dynamic between oppressor and oppressed (obviously I'm talking about when a man abuses a woman). Like some women wanna talk about our supposed agency in the situation, and i hate to be a fucking downer, but for so many cases, it's just non-existent. I know this may shock a lot of people, but there are MANY women who have no idea there are services available to them to help escape these situations. I spoke to at least one who straight up admitted she didn't know there were women's shelters.

I think for a lot of people, this ignorances stems from how hard it can be to conceptualize having virtually NO support system. Having absolutely no one to rely on other than your abuser, and no one pointing out that your relationship isn't healthy. And other times (frequently) you have people pressuring you to suck it up and stay. We have one client with fucking babies with her abuser whose mom has been telling her she needs to stay with him despite knowing all he has done to her AND that he has a fucking kill kit in his car (rope, tape, shovel, knives, gloves, etc). This shit is WILD and so many people have no idea how bad it can be.

And those are just the super dangerous situations. I've been around DV my entire life, most people have, but just don't realize it. It's not hard to just look and see WHY this shit happens. Money, kids, lack of education/independence, the extremely poor, debalitating self-esteem that is so common in women- these are just a few of the base level factors.

And feminism is about realizing that, seeing women's position in life as it really fucking is, and trying to help women liberate themselves. So, all that being said, fucking shrugging your shoulders like "oh geez idk just dont date men" is soooooo fucking stupid

#a lot of women on here just care about lesbians specifically and that is a okay with me #but es not feminism bc feminism is about all fucking women #so it's the hypocrisy #it just gets me bc how can you tout being a radfem and then just shit on the majority of women for how they are oppressed lmao #not to mention that there are def lesbian women stuck in abusive relationships with men :/ #on another note #like i know this is just a website lmao #(i dont mean that it cant have an effect on people- i mean i see that this is clearly not ground zero radfem) #but oh my goooood the way some of the women on here pat themselves of the back bc they are just so smart #and they really care about women teehee #like gorl no u dont #ur a just an edgelord lmao #like u wanna talk about how radblr (the internet) is racist but then wanna say how stupid women are for continuing to date men??? #like hello there are disproportionate numbers of black women at my shelter compared to white women #so going by this logic apparently bw are too stupid to save themselves #which is obv a load of shit and we see these numbers because the bw in my region deal with racism which exacerbates other factors of dv #like poverty for example #theres other shit besides racism at play but u get my point #ugh #rant #dv

I'm not smart enough to dissect these but here's screenshots of the things that N remembers in the flashback when he touches the VHS tape

Glitched out version of above image:

This one

And this one! Notice how the center says "[null]"

I don't think I need to explain what [null] means

There's also the screenshot of the VHS tape itself!

Interesting to note that this tape is not supposed to be shown to robots and is also titled "Zombie Drones!!"

#murder drones #not transformers #md ep4 #hello smart people that like MD #please tell me what this means thank you <3

Love atheist communities that hate Christianity but reproduce every single issue Christianity has right down to the racism, wild misogyny, and of all fuckin things evangelizing atheism by sending religious people rude ass 'gotcha' type reactionary content to like idk, recruit people to atheism the way Certian Brands of Christian recruit literally anyone to their religion.

Like yes this atheism is what I see a lot of white men participating in, but like how dense do you have to be to only ditch the GOD part of religion and nothing else while claiming you're intellectually superior to religious folks like a great many incredibly talented and smart people in various sciences weren't religious?

#winters ramblings #its so funny that the so called 'skeptic' communities on youtube and reddit claimed ti be SOOOOO skeptical of things #but never took a fuckin second to check their misogyny or racism and badically applied shite christian values to everything they do #but think they arent doing that because they openly denounce god. like bestie youre doing ALL the same shit i have a problem with #in teligious spaces except you have the balls to claim youre inherently smarter and more intellectual #which is why youre SO SMART you cant figure out how to be a halfway decent human being #like its so funny when i see athiests like this around where it feels like religion is the only thing they felt held them back #and not in the ways PoC queer people and women deal with- THEIR athiesm is usually rooted in #'christians told me i was black because i have the curse of ham and thats fucking racist as shit' or some other discrimination event #plus your average religious truama and in my case just a lack of desire to participate in religion and also no belief in it #but then you have white dudes whove never had a real problem in their life doing all the same shit as them Nasty Christians they rail on #without a H I N T of the irony while also wondering why it is that their spaces seem so... homogeneous lmao #almost like women PoC and queer people know all you did was reject the GOD bit not any of the underlying discrimination tendencies #no need for them to unpack that i guess because theyre Very Smart Skeptics they dont seem to think #that they believe just as much dumb shit as any religious or non religious folks out there except theyre insufferable about it #also the nonsense of science being inherently opposed to religion like tell me you know nothing about the history of science #without saying you have NO IDEA what youre talking about. so much science was trying to understand gods creations #science and god arent diametrically opposed to each other and in fact went hand in hand for a long time #not as much any more but ill bet a huge number of scientists are still religious because being smart #doesnt mean youre an athiest like HELLO youre not smarter than anyone for not believing in god #the same way you arent smarter or better FOR believing in god lmao

Missed my train so I’ll be two hours late home but at least I have Quantum Leap waiting for me.
