has there ever been a diagram made of the Albatross? because I’m aware that well, not everyone has the same extremely niche knowledge of old-fashioned sailing ships. But based on their descriptions of the deck size (large enough to create a fucking ice arena),
1) that thing would DEFINITELY need more than one mast? Do they have more than one? I’m not even sure
2) they would have FUCK tons of cabin space below deck, why the hell are they sharing a tiny room like that???
3) it would have taken errrmm approximately 20 people to run lmaooo
4) it would have been slow as all hell because it sounds like the proportions of an old-style cargo ship
5) why. WHY. Aren’t they using all that space below deck 💀
Or have I completely misunderstood their descriptions of the size of this damn ship? 😭😭

seeing a rise in self-proclaimed progressivists who keep shitting on Cartoon Adults for presumably being intrinsically incapable of having Good Politik bc huahauu all they do is watch baby shows and play w their toys or whatever!!! which yeah i get how being someone whos actually read theory and put in the work n stuff is definitely gonna make you more politically literate then some guy who doesnt even rly know who marx is
but like heres the thing, and both you know it and i know it: the majority of ppl irl arent meaningfully politically literate at all! they have simple, uninterrogated beliefs based around the status quo and how it affects them and their friends personally, otherwise they barely "get" the whole politix thing! half the Good Politics out there as espoused by the tumblr geniuses and twitter savants are considered pretty fuckin fringe among The Normies!
but sure im positive theres no disgust reaction (or dare i say.... a desire to cringe!!!!) motivating this line of thinking at all. also bet theres no likelihood that the majority of ppl this is gonna impact negatively will be mentally disabled adults who shouldnt have their political relevancy based on how childish they appear to outsiders. i am smiling so big and so happily rn i am not even holding a knife or anything

Listen. L i s t e n, I know that I have a metric fuckton of wips and requests and fics that need to be finished but–
but Grant Mazzy...
There are no fics of Stephen McHattie’s Grant Mazzy from Pontypool, and the lack thereof is a fucking crime.
I feel the need to fill the void.
He’s got the chocolate voice and he looks so pretty and there are NO FICS. I NEED THERE TO BE FICS.
What if I...
...
...
...opened a new draft? 👀

Women aren't perfect lovely angel goddesses who never commit crimes out of malice.
Women aren't justified in every abuse they commit.
Women aren't always innocent.
And if you for one minute believe that every woman is flawless, justified, and pure, you are dehumanizing them.

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)
At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.
Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

people are drawing Steamboat Willie Mickey doing all this crazy shit and whatnot, but you could always do that. you can do that now, with current Mickey, just fine. it's fanart and it's legally protected. hell you could take Disney-drawn Mickey and put a caption about unions or whatever on it and it would still be protected under free speech and sometimes even parody law.
what is special about public domain is that you can SELL him. you could take a screenshot and sell it on a tshirt. you can use him to advertise your plumbing business. people have already uploaded and monetized the original film.
you could always have Mickey say what you want, but now you can profit off it.

i love cishets and their somewhat ugly pride merch that lets us know they're at least fairly safe to be around i'm serious. like genuinely being like 13 and seeing random adults at the store in black "love is love" shirts where every letter is a different pride flag and the whole thing clashes horribly was the most comforting thing.

I like to think that Vulcans who come to understand that Humans just can’t try to process emotions the same way as them, it’s just healthiest to let it out in harmless ways, decide that venting and stuff should be taken just as seriously as Vulcan��s meditation time, and will encourage the Humans around them to complain about what’s upsetting them
People who are used to aloof Vulcans who avoid Humans at all cost running into one comforting a Human
“-and then they said my cheesecake was subpar, and they didn’t even bring a dish!!!”
“The purpose of this event was that every participant brings a food item of sorts, correct?”
“Yeah!!”
“And they did not follow this rule while insulting dishes that were brought?”
“Mostly just my dish but yeah >:(“
“How illogical”
“That’s what I’m saying!!!”
