okay this is the weirdest DM but you inspired me to put two times the normal amount of garlic in my dinner just now thank you I was hovering over the clothes and I was like no no this is enough this is normal then my brain was like no Rae put in like 18 cloves or something and it is delicious. that is all

of all the inspirational things I have done in my life, this still ranks near the top

a panel from the manga Inuyasha in which the MC is describing Inuyasha as "like an infant. he's violent. he's selfish. he has no self-control." to which both of her female friends respond silently "he's an AMERICAN???"

damn, Rumiko Takahashi was really on to something, huh?

(granted, that is a very short list but DAMMIT I'm proud anyway😤)

This quote has been with me every day since I first heard it and I love her so much for saying it.

I love them, your honor

SAY IT LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK

(I've watched the series in both Japanese and English . . . many times . . . but stuck in bed with food poisoning = this is the first time I've read the manga 🤣)

my hot writing take is that playing with POV is neat and you can do what you want. present tense first! close third! first-person-direct-address with bits of omniscient third! anything is legal if you look good doing it!!

Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop: The Movie. The caption reads, “I love the kind of woman that will actually just kill me.”

happy international women’s day

My favorite Takahashi anecdote is that he had such deep dissatisfaction for Shinzo Abe and the admin at the time, he drew this picture while urging his instagram followers to go vote for something better. He got crazy backlash for it and had to apologize though.

THIS. If you’re in central Glasgow tonight please close your windows; if you have to be out please wear the best mask you have available. If you can smell it, you’re at risk.

If I think too hard about how every horrible thing right now is completely manufactured and wildly unnecessary I don’t think I’ll come back from it 🫠🫠🫠

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

The two-buttons meme, a comic in two panels. In the upper panel, a hand hovers over two potential buttons, one labeled "Don't use perfect meme", the other "Legitimize illiteracy". In the lower panel, a jutting-jawed man pats as his sweating forehead as he worries over which button to press. The comic is credited to "jake-clark.tumblr".

I get yelled at for saying this but for many hundreds of years people went to university not to get diplomas or be employable but because immersion in the humanities was considered foundational to a good life, and school must return to its original purpose: the joy of learning.

markovchaingang hey you. teenage girl writing in her diary. quit talking about the boy you have a crush on and start writing about the current political situation, the valuation of currencies, and the level of technology your people hold. your diary might be the only piece of evidence our society existed after nuclear war fries all of our data backups. future historians don't need to know about damian, they need at least a secondhand accounts of the great water wars and whether or not your leaders truly did worship a deity called "the free hand of the market" markovchaingang alright, alright. you can talk about the clothes that damian was wearing. but only if you promise to define what each article of clothing actually is, ideally describing the materials they're typically made from also

I’ve definitely thought about buying and storing physical newspapers

Look, parents and Pete Docter: I’m sorry to tell you this, but the purpose of art is to challenge, expand, teach, inspire, sometimes comfort. It’s not to reinforce your narrow worldview.

Wow. Quiet part out loud.

re "claude is conscious explain human consciousness"

a four-panel stick-figure cartoon panel one: three standing figures. from left to right, a guy wearing a necktie looking at his phone, an angry MAGA guy yelling FUCK YOUR FUCKIN POST FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU, and a rando just standing there like an NPC. panel two: the guy looking at his phone shows MAGA guy his hand, causing MAGA to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where fuckface once was. a green-bordered in-game message appears, reading "+2 Mental Health." now the rando is suddenly interested. panel three: as our man continues doom-scrolling, a sly grin on his face, the rando on the right puts on a punch-me face and snarls: "Typical lefty, blocking everyone who disagrees with-" panel four phone guy shows the hand to punch-me face, causing the rando to vanish. the word Block hangs in the air where that dickhead was. a green-bordered in-game message appears again, reading "+2 Mental Health."

oh wow maybe we shouldn't have put all our money in a kiln and set it to 4500 degrees
