“Welcome to the base, private, let me show you around: This is Major Key, she keeps us upbeat. And this is Corporal Punishment, don’t get on his bad side. If you need anything, you can go to General Store directly. Understood?”
“Sir, yes, sir!”
“Great. One last one thing, what’s your name?”
“Parts, sir.”
“Well, Private Parts, I hope I got you covered. Dismissed.”
I hope people know that whenever I make a spelling mistake, it’s always 100% intentional and jist me being funny. I totally know how to type properly. it’s called commitment to the bit
lol people know that ‘blind peer review’ is often not actually 'blind’ (anonymous), right?
once you’ve reached a point where you’re publishing in niche academic journals on niche subfields of knowledge, there are only so many people in the world who devote their careers to the same thing as you, and even fewer once you take into account language barriers and the exclusion of many global south academics from global north academic journals and discourse. a journal you’ve submitted a paper to might, realistically, be choosing from a pool of like 5-10 people, if that many, who can read and comment on your work at a specialist level. you probably know who all of these people are, both from reading their work, and from like, rubbing shoulders with them at conferences. you have probably, by this point, presented earlier versions of your work to them at those conferences, so they likely know who you are as well. on top of that, if you’ve done your job well, you probably cited every single one of these people in the paper that needs reviewing, in your literature section if nowhere else. 'blind’ review is a fiction lol
& yes this means that, no matter how scrupulous any individual might perceive themself as being, there is p much always an incentive 1) for junior scholars to cite established scholars in positive / flattering ways, and 2) for those established scholars to then reward those papers with the positive peer review that gets them published in high-ranked journals. this is one of the phenomena being alluded to when people say that modern academic discourse, like its medieval counterparts, runs on patronage relationships
Last year, I was talking with my mom about parenting and she said “well at least I never made you feel like I didn’t love you”
I proceeded to tell her about a time when I was a kid and she was yelling, screaming, and throwing things, and I said “I love you” in that small timid kid voice and she said
“well I don’t love you right now”
Our relationship was never the same after that and she didn’t even remember that it happened.
The axe never remembers, but the tree never forgets.
I’m watching this reality show with my brother that’s like a blacksmithing competition and some of these people look exactly like you’d expect blacksmiths to look and others look like the person in movies that blacksmiths would kick out of the tavern.
Is it Forged in Fire? Because if it is I totally agree.
It is.
There are 2 types of people in this world: blacksmiths and also blacksmiths but they don’t look like it
The funny part is that sometimes it’s the guys that look like blacksmiths that are actually the ones that get sent home
Well it takes more than just a pretty face to forge a knife you know
THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE SHOWS, but also my family relentlessly mocks the host for being painfully masculine in a seemingly performative sort of way, leading to my dad begging me to make this image:
Here’s to hoping that every single person with schizophrenia or a schizoaffective disorder or DID or NPD or any other ridiculously demonized mental illnesses has a wonderful day
oh and people with ASPD and borderline and bipolar disorder and anybody who experiences psychosis but doesn’t have schizophrenia or a schizoaffective disorder. i love all of you and i wish you the absolute best <3
Remember, NSFW is not an abbreviation for nude that somehow has more syllables. It’s shorthand for “If my boss happened to look over my shoulder when this was on my screen, would there be consequences?”
This is subjective, and depends on the boss and the job, of course. But many, many images that contain zero nudity are still very much NSFW (and sometimes, images with nudity aren’t!) Consider this.
just goes to show how young the population of the internet is nowadays. nearly everyone that was into the internet for real in the early 2000s knew this kinda stuff
I need people to know that sometimes people tag your stuff as ‘NSFW’ not because they think a trans body is inherently sexual or something, but because even tasteful nude is still “My boss is going to ask questions if I don’t close my browser fast enough”
something about substances so strong they can only be cut by that same substance (like diamond) gets to me. the self-fulfilling prophecy of it. you can armor yourself against any and all outside threats, but you’re still beholden to your own nature.

*walks over to my board titled “is the desire to self-destruct innate or a learned behaviour?” and places another tally mark in the ‘innate’ column*
it is genuinely bewildering to me that adult human beings do not know this but if you are mean to people they will not like you. like tbh they are probably also not going to like you if you are mean to other people but they are definitely not going to like you if you are mean to them. it doesn’t matter if you are funny or if you can use r/aita rules to prove that you are in the right. people simply so not enjoy being treated like shit.
Happy Pride Month everyone! Remember 4 months ago when the CEO of this platform harassed and chased a trans woman off this website just for posting her transition timeline, then chased her to other social media platforms to continue harassing her, and threatened to call the FBI if she continued disputing the multiple dubious terminations of her blogs that did not violate tumblr’s terms of service in any way? And despite tumblr staff insisting that the CEO was acting against their interests, the broad transmisogyny evident in the site’s culture and moderation policy has still not been adequately addressed?
Remember that staff is continuing to nuke the blogs of trans women even after all of this. Remember this post when they call this site the queerest place on the internet again this month
“i wanna get better at drawing [body part] but i dont want people to think i have a fetish” stop worrying. youre an artist. everyone already knows youre a pervert of some kind.
When you’re at a event, count how many people with mobility aids there are. If it seens low, think about why that might be. Count how many disabled bathrooms. Count how many unavoidable steps. Try and find one accessibility issue at the event and afterwards contact the organisers to ask them to fix it.
Many disabled queer people are left out of the Pride moth celebrations due to accessibility issues, so if you’re able to be there, you’re already in a position to make it better.
Don’t forget your disabled siblings this Pride!
Masks too. If no one is wearing a mask, that’s why a lot of us are not there. Pride isn’t inclusive if it doesn’t include all of us.
Guys. Guys please. We have to remember that protagonist is not a stand in word for hero and antagonist is not a stand in word for villain. Please. We learned this in middle school. The protagonist is the character the audience follows. The antagonist is the character who is working against the protagonist.
Ok. This one was a hit I guess.
Ppl tagging this with Death Note, this post is for you and you alone.
This is it, I found it, the funniest post on this entire godsforsaken website
I will never get over how brilliant this comic is. The artist could have just drawn a single image in response, but instead we have this masterpiece. The world doesn’t deserve @iguanamouth.
