yes my train was two hours delayed and i almost fell asleep waiting for it but when i finally got here after midnight my mom was waiting to pick me up and she told me in the car she bought me the snacks i like and we listened to folklore and then my dog peeked down the stairs like a kid on christmas and then licked my face and wagged her silly little tail before going back to bed and i forgot my pajamas but i stole my sisters and now i’m laying in my childhood bed and all is once again right with the world
listen, as a government regulator, please for the love of god call your city code enforcement on your landlords more often. we often have our hands tied and cannot enforce the law on code and permit violations until a citizen files a formal complaint. use the services available! PLEASE!
To clarify for my new followers, my own political philosophy is techno-dystopian utilitarian monarchism, i.e. using invasive mass surveillance to identify an ideal ruler and forcing that person to be king against their will.

“average person eats 3 spiders a year” factoid actualy just statistical error. average person eats 0 spiders per year. Spiders Georg, who lives in cave & eats over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted

how does this post not have a million notes but anyone online can quote it
Diana Serra Cary started in films when she was 19 months old, as “Baby Peggy.” Like a lot of other child stars she was exploited, overworked, supported her entire family with her earnings, was considered “washed up” before she was 10 and was left with nothing as an adult. At 17 she ran away from home, knowing that her parents wanted her to work in films forever and she needed a way out.
She eventually married an artist, opened a bookstore, and became an author and historian. Her 1978 nonfiction book Hollywood’s Children traced the exploitation of child actors from the 1800s onward.
She also released Whatever Happened to Baby Peggy? a memoir of her child star years, pulling no punches on the abuse she suffered at the hands of her parents, directors and studios, who put her to work eight hours a day, six days a week and had her doing her own stunts before she was five. This scene here, from The Darling of New York? Not special effects. They actually put this small child in a burning room and she almost didn’t get out because they accidentally fired all the doors and windows.
In 2011 a documentary about her, The Elephant in the Room, was released. She released her last book, a novel, at the age of 100.
She never got a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She’s not remembered much in film histories. But she was one of the pioneers, and with her, the last of the silent era stars is gone.
YOU GUYS ARE TOO COMFORTABLE BEING MEAN ONLINE. YOU SHOULD ALL BE MORE LIKE ME, COMPLETELY SELF ABSORBED AND NARCISSISTIC. CARE MORE ABOUT LOVING YOURSELF THAN HATING OTHERS.
No one wants to work anymore. All kids these days want is to physically transform into animals. Bones cracking, breaking, splintering apart, stitching together into exhilaratingly new shapes. Hair, all kinds hair, various fluids and oils and whatnot. Ragged-lip maws dripping with alien teeth, crowning in teething agony like the birth of an infant god. Gore-streaked visages howling in pagan delight by the pale light of the moon, etc. No work ethic. He who makes a beast of himself takes away the pain of clocking in tomorrow

I have been disappointed by all of you (except for @magical-bear-dubin ) for not rebloging a post I made recently that I thought was really funny and would make you laugh, so here’s what I’m gonna do
I’m cursing this post
I’ve made this post so that even if you read a single word of it you’ll be cursed to stub your toe every day for a whole week
Feel free to reblog this and tag someone you think is annoying or kind of dislike
getting comments on ao3 makes me go so power hungry like. oh yeah you read the thing?? you read the WHOLE thing and even took time out of your day to give your WRITTEN INPUT on it???? make out with me.
this just made me realize… pretty much all of the monsterfuckers I know have some sort of disability or are LGBT+ (tho most of the LGBT+ ones also have disabilities; the rest might idk). I’m trying to think of one who doesn’t fit either/both categories and I’m coming up blank.
This is a REALLY good article about why monsters mean so much to trans folks, and it just… it says what I’ve never been able to articulate as a trans man who resonates with monsters.
Friendly reminder that the original monster movie “Frankenstein”, the sequel “The Bride of the Frankenstein” which has heartbreaking single line after unrequited love (after the Bride rejects Frankenstein because she can see what he is), and the original film adaptation of “The Invisible Man” where all directed by James Whale who was an openly gay man in 1930s Hollywood.
LGBTQ and disabled people have been seeing themselves in the “other” or “The Monster” since the early days of cinema.
This chain made me remember a picture I was drawing for the pride month several years ago but never finished. My sona finding themselves out as a monstrous deity of destruction is legit an allusion of me being lgbtq+ and suffering from the feeling of being wrong and being ashamed of my nature. It’s so relieving to see I’m not the only one who sees monsters like that. And YES, I fully agree that all of this is tied.
(Also, this was the real dialogue between me and my mom. And this is what basically inspired me in the first place.)

concept: woman makes deal with demon to have it’s child in exchange for eternal life or some shit
woman then makes deal with witch and offers her first born for like, riches or something
woman dumps demon baby on witch, absconds with her winnings and leaves witch and demon fighting for custody
half demon baby grows up learning magic and visiting hell on weekends and every second christmas
does the woman act as a sort of vodka aunt who shows up sometimes to teach the child how to work the system?
“here you go timmy, have a new xbox. this year I’m going to teach you the ins and outs of magical tax evasion”
SHE DOES NOW
I’d watch this
Although “Little demon” has a kind of similar premise, its the Devil (played by Danny de Vito) and Witch (played by Aubrey Plaza) fighting for custody over the anti-Christ who is a teenage girl. It’s pretty funny
