Dubious

you ever think about those real weird overlaps. like tennessee williams might have listened to the ramones

frankly whether she's hypothetically attracted to women or not is honestly irrelevant to that, and probably the least of her problems

'taylor is gay'
'taylor is straight'
'taylor's entire sense of self is so carefully constructed within the constraints of normative identity that she is desperate to make it everyone else's problem how much she can't quite convince herself that she enjoys the boring missionary sex she has w her guy'

Bee-autiful

One time I was trying to figure out why a bit character in Legends of Tomorrow looked familiar, and then I remembered I went to high school with her

It’s weird remembering actors are real life people

Honestly I just thought he would probably like to see it, if it was her!

Okay yessss I thought so! Ahhh good to see her getting more work! I’m guessing she’ll probably be Lucy Steele?

@kangus.bsky.social hey favour to ask:

some set pics just dropped of the new Sense and Sensibility adaptation, can I borrow your Elayne or Elaynt skills to identify if this is Ceara Coveney I’m seeing?

Idk not a lawyer

“But aren’t you CURIOUS about the torment nexus?” No. Leave it alone. It can only lead to suffering.

Indecent assault is a legal term to describe sexual assault, as opposed to regular assault, which would just be attacking physically like punching someone, etc.

"The tight-laced corset without a chemise is artistic license! It’s not meant to be historically accurate!”

I'm aware, but 'oppressive tightlaced corsets’ is a trope done to death so thoroughly, that I find it a fairly reliable sign that the storyteller has nothing else unique or interesting to say

One of Britain’s most senior police officers has launched an angry tirade against Extinction Rebellion protesters going “all floppy” when they get arrested. Sir Stephen House, the deputy commissioner of the Metropolitan police, said the tactic of going limp was a “flipping nuisance” as it required extra officers to drag protesters away. House told a London assembly police and crime committee hearing: “We have asked them to stop being floppy. And that might seem like a silly thing to say, but when we arrest them and pick them up, they go all floppy, which is why you see four or five officers carrying them away. It’s a complete waste of officers’ time, and a complete pain in the neck.” Extinction Rebellion: how successful were the latest protests? Read more House also expressed annoyance at how the tactic made the police look heavy-handed. He said: “The problem with them going floppy and four offices carrying them away [is that it] looks to the general public like police are overreacting here. We’re not making them go floppy. They’re just sort of being a nuisance.”

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Anti-vaxxers aren’t questioning the science, they’re questioning who deserves to live

Waiting to get my covid shot at a Walgreens and I'm the only one waiting who's wearing a mask. Please, I'm begging you all, to work with logic.

A screenshot of Facebook comments. The first, from somebody named Marcella, says "Wake up America! The encroachment is insidious and dangerous to our ideals and beliefs." In reply, Soren says "That's why we turned French when they started offering French classes, right?" Replying to Soren, somebody named Ken says "The French don't have a record of colonizing and conquering countries; and forcing their culture on the natives. Arabs do."

People are melting down at a Tribune article about CHSD 230 considering adding Arabic to its language learning electives. I wasted time in the comments, which I normally avoid doing since it's useless and awful, but it led to possibly the funniest thing anybody's ever said to me about France.

like and repost this if you enjoy eating french fries or The Lord Your God bestowed visions upon thee to defend the French nation at the siege of Orléans in 1429

the Tendi

She destroyed her exoskeleton

Part of me still really loves the show, and the books, flawed as they both are, but my heart just aches too much when I even think about engaging with them.

it's so weird seeing people's tweets about Malkiericon and thinking back to this time last year when I was SO passionate about the Wheel of Time, such a staunch defender of the show, so excited for the upcoming season...

i'm going on my trip to the uk SO SOON

AAAHHHH

(do i know anyone in bath, liverpool, leeds, or london, that wants to hang out, lol?)

Air Canada's CEO admitting to the media that their entire plan for the flight attendants' strike was "have the government say they're not allowed" and that they have no other ideas about how to deal with the strike is really a "yeah this is how Canada REALLY works" moment if ever there was one

My man did not become the patron saint of the fujoshis without knowing what he was doing

Beautiful

I used to think my high school’s music teacher being named Mrs Treble, and my local podiatrist being Dr Cornwell, were the perfect examples of ‘last name being appropriate to the person’, and then this guy came along

Yay Munro’s!

My favourite of the silly answers my parents ever got while teaching was “One example of a single celled organism is a cat” (I believe they had it confused with ‘syllable’) which feels very Cunk
