like. imagine seeing your sibling at 18. and then not seeing them again until you’re 28. and then not seeing them again until you’re both 58. but you’re identical twins so every time you look in the mirror you wonder if this is what they would’ve looked like.
imagine never needing glasses but your brother did, and then in your adulthood your eyes get worse and you suddenly need glasses and you pick out the same frames your brother wore.
imagine always protecting your brother growing up cause he was different and kids picked on him. but you always protected him. and then you have a falling out and neither of you speak for years, and then finding out that in those years you didn’t speak, he was being isolated and tortured by a monster and didn’t think you’d come if he called. but then he calls and you go. and his house has blood on the floor in every room and writing on the walls and his journal devolves into paranoid ramblings. and you can’t protect him because you showed up and he got ripped away. and you can’t even ask him what the writing or the blood or the state of the house means because he’s gone. and you don’t have a penny to your name so you have to clean the blood up yourself and fix the house and live there. so you board up his room.
after 2 years working outdoors all day i finally got stung by an onion for the first time yesterday and i wasnt even doing anything there wasnt even a nest nearby
Also at a certain period of history in Europe specifically you were only considered to be literate if you could read and write in Latin. They didn’t keep records of how many people could read and not write or how many people could read and/or write but only in their local language.
Probably more people throughout history have been literate or semi-literate than we’ve been led to believe. Probably not everyone. Probably not even most people. But also probably more than you were led to believe.
Also a lot of people could read numbers either Roman or Arabic depending on the time period because people were dealing with merchants and they wanted to know they weren’t being cheated.
The armor stays on during sex because it takes like five people to help me take it off and put it back on again and I’d rather not call them at this hour
Your adventuring party actually needs at least 3-5 people so you can help each other put your armor on.
I mean unless you’re wearing chain mail I guess. Because you’re poor and have to do a silly little dance to take your armor off.

PLEASE NOTE: Both of these bags ARE SAMPLES. I am working on making the goat less purple, adding the black outline to the Lamb and make sure the tuft matches the actual headso that the bags match completely.
This is why aliens don’t want us in their Starfleet.
Are you fucking kidding this is why aliens should be begging us to join their Starfleet. The precision?? The CONTROL?? The absolute mastery this driver has over their 20+ ton of steel is superhuman. This person could weave a mothership through an asteroid belt without making a single scratch on the hull. Foh “aliens don’t want us” aliens should be sucking our dicks.
dont let people tell u ur attraction to fire is “abnormal” or “hazardous” prometheus doesnt have his liver eaten every day for u to ignore the allure of arson

you know you’ve done fucked up when a fan remake of a game that hasnt had an update in 7 years looks 10000x more aesthetically pleasing than a minute long trailer made by a multi million dollar film studio featuring an extremely popular actor.
“Hannibal at Erez, dispatch a Zik [attack drone],” came the command on October 7.
Those words, reported by Israeli newspaper Haaretz in July, confirm what many Israelis have feared since the Hamas attacks on October 7 in southern Israel.
Israeli forces have killed their own citizens.
[…]
In July, the Israeli newspaper Haaretz revealed commanders in the IDF gave the order to fire on troops who had been captured by Hamas at three separate locations, explicitly referencing the Hannibal Directive.
One former Israeli officer, Air Force Colonel Nof Erez, told a Haaretz podcast the directive was not specifically ordered but was “apparently applied” by responding aircrews.
Panicked, operating without their normal command structure and unable to coordinate with ground forces, they fired on vehicles returning to Gaza, knowing they were likely carrying hostages.
“This was a mass Hannibal. It was tons and tons of openings in the fence, and thousands of people in every type of vehicle, some with hostages and some without,” Colonel Erez said.
Air force pilots described to Yedioth Ahronot newspaper the firing of “tremendous” amounts of ammunition on October 7 at people attempting to cross the border between Gaza and Israel.
“Twenty-eight fighter helicopters shot over the course of the day all of the ammunition in their bellies, in renewed runs to rearm. We are talking about hundreds of 30-millimetre cannon mortars and Hellfire missiles,” reporter Yoav Zeitoun said.
[…]
Bergman’s investigation found 70 vehicles were destroyed by Israeli aircraft and tanks to prevent them being driven into Gaza, killing everyone inside.
“It is not clear at this point how many of the abductees were killed due to the activation of this [Hannibal] order on October 7,” he wrote.
my brothers share special interests and my favorite thing to do is walk in a room and be like “hey guys can you tell me about the mariana trench” and then sit there for an hour while they both infodump to me about the ocean it’s extremely entertaining
and my parents are always like “oh my god why would you do that” bitch. I want to learn about the ocean and these two thirteen year old boys r my most trusted source

I mean, I could google questions I have about medieval weaponry and horsemanship, but on the other hand I could message my sister the simple statement “have question about historical saddles” and get both a phone call and a comprehensive 3 page google document within an hour
Seriously, if you know someone who has a special interest you’d like info about, go ask them! It costs zero money, you make them happy, and you learn way more than a basic google search would tell you.

My sister was coming home from college and then we went on a murder spree. I think we were trying to see how many people we could kill without our parents noticing during a road trip vacation. We ended up dying because Justin Bieber (young one) swerved the car and we drove off a bridge.
it’s really frustrating how you have to wait like, 2 weeks before you can drink milk after you buy it. i know you gotta wait for the date on the bottle but like why cant the store just sell the milk thats ready?
this is what the first generation of internet trolls were like. It’s almost like they were elves once, taken by the dark powers…
I made this post in 2018 and I’m a zoomer who is still around lol
I think it’s important for non-brazilians to reblog and share *WHY* Twitter has left Brazil because Elon will definitely try to spin it into a “Brazil’s actually a dictatorship and we need to take freedom to them” specially since our country currently has a left-leaning leader and in recent past USA HAS interfered in our politics. Don’t let Elon get away with blaming Brazil’s legal system. Share the truth with friends and acquaintances so everyone knows Elon is a crybaby who thinks he’s above the law of entire countries.
what you need to understand is that textile work is basically the closest i have seen to Real Magic and the reason old ladies in quilting spaces are either the grumpiest or the most whacky cheerful people you’ll ever meet is because they’re basically wizards who have studied the ancient crafts too long
One of my best friends went to college in Montana. They were part of the campus queer community. They had a friend who had been stalked and harassed by this guy on Grindr multiple times. When my friend asked them why nothing had been done, why this guy hadn’t been ousted from the community, their friend simply said:
“No. We can’t do that. That’s the same as leaving him for dead.”
And they were right for that.
There’s a lot of personal reasons I found it in me to forgive my ex that assaulted and closeted me - but another reason is because they were also a hurting, closeted, queer kid who took their pain out on me. They deserve safe communities to heal in and I am not the arbiter of that. There’s a reason why my best friend is still my best friend in spite of the fact that they hurt someone in similar but different ways. My best friend deserves to heal and so does the person they hurt. No one else is the arbiter of whether or not either one of them is allowed that.
I do not like Blaire White, Caitlyn Jenner, Kalvin Garrah, etc. etc. etc. as people. I would not hold community space for them in a typical queer setting. However, if their existences as trans people were under attack? I would still hold space for them even if they would never hold that for me because that’s still the right thing to do. That value stands for me personally across all marginalized people - not just trans people.
Absolutely make your personal spaces safe for yourself. Curate your own online experience. But when shit goes down, you still stand up for the queers you don’t like. The queers who’ve hurt people. Who’ve hurt you even. Because ultimately you are socially the same. Bigotry is bigger than all of us and that’s a tough pill to swallow, but you have to swallow it or we are all fucked.
trans women do not only start to experience oppression or harassment when they start to present as women, and trans men do not stop experiencing oppression or harassment when they start to present as men. when you exist outside the status quo of the sex and gender binaries you experience these things constantly through your whole life, both before and after transitioning. the idea that trans women were “socialized male” and so grew up not experiencing sexism is bullshit. the idea that trans men have as much privilege as cis men and get to just stop experiencing sexism when they transition is also bullshit. both these statements are transphobic and are meant to diminish our experiences
cats be like damn we are cuddling 😳 what if I bit you for no reason
girls be like damn we are cuddling 😳 what if I bit you for no reason
catgirls be like damn we are cuddling 😳 what if I bit you for no reason
it’s me, i’m girls
And if they’re trans cat girls, it’s just gonna happen, no avoiding it.
And if they’re @traaansfem they’re going to bite you, and suck your blood because she’s a VAMPIRE!
SLANDER. I just had a pasta dish with garlic in it!! Not a vampire! I already dealt with this accusation when a local catholic school shut down when I was in high school and suddenly people who have never seen meat cooked at any level of doneness below medium see someone eating rare meat and burning in sunlight and go “AH! A VAMPIRE!”
smh not dealing with this again. I’ll start biting! I will!
its true! she bit me and drank my blood!
I haven’t supped on the blood of another still living being in about four years! You can’t call me a vampire, that’s outside the statute of limitations, I think!!!
