Seriously.  Science Is Not Like An Illusion In D&D.  It Does Not Go Away If You Disbelieve In It Hard

I’m so glad that the QUILTBAG+ folks I know are welcoming and friendly to all, including asexuals and aromantics!

this pride month if i see ANY of you fuckers including ace/aro identities anywhere, if you even fucking say the words asexual or aromantic in any context of pride in any day this June, you have 0% of my patience and respect. this month isn’t for ace/aro identities and never will be. shut the fuck up.

Are there people who don’t?  I tell my cats that I love them and I’ll be back whenever I leave.

Oh I take it way further than that.

I tell them about any errands I have to run after work that will lead me to being later than normal.

I tell them approximately how late I will be because of those errands and reassure them that I will in fact be home.

I remind them how close the weekend is.

On weekends I tell them where I’m going, how long it will take me, and offer up treats or a trip to the dog park as a bargaining chip for letting me go out.

I tell them to have good naps while I’m out.

I tell the small one, “No poops while I’m gone.”

I tell the big one not to be scared if it’s stormy outside.

I tell them they are good girls

I tell them I love them.

And ONLY THEN do I leave the house.

Very cool! @rooksandravens

If this is your attitude, you need to 

A: Learn to care about people who aren’t yourself, and

B: Learn some freaking history! 

Everyone else is having their rights taken away, but they’ll stop before they take MINE away…. Right?

Me: Oooh, my friend / Tumblr-buddy has a new interest!  I don’t have the time, mental energy, etc. for it, but I like seeing them enjoy things.  Yay -- lots of happy posts!

*gets a new interest* ah.......... time to annoy my followers with 1 685 5753 6969 posts they did not ask for

Leafy sea dragon mermaid! [swoon]  (Ok, they’re all cool, but I have a soft spot for leafy sea dragons.)

5/15 mermaid design challenge i made for myself (also happens to be during #mermay)

so far: goldfish, lionfish, leafy sea dragon, deepsea predator, and red octopus

i will post here when another 5 are done, meanwhile you can see each one & WIPs on my twitter if you want

edit: basically i realized way too late that u cant see anything of the details so i added 100% closeups for each one like i did on twitter ///shrug

There aren’t many things that have more pride than a peacock.

Pride flag peacocks! 

These are all available on my new redbubble!

I think Danny Devito would be great as the voice of Spider-Ham though!

Husband and I have a fun game called “Against Type”  where we speculate on either Improbable Roles for an actor or Improbable Actors for a role.  The results frequently make for better movies than the original casting.  Some of the best combinations so far:

Betty White as James Bond (With Daniel Craig as her Bond Girl)

Danny Devito as Spiderman

Arnold Schwaznegger as Any Teletubbie

Julie Andrews as Batman

Gilbert Gottfried as The Phantom Of The Opera

Lucy Liu as freakin’ anybody.  Seriously, any role I’ve tried to imagine her in I can only imagine her fucking killing it.  Captain America. Mary Poppins. Hannibal Lecter. Doc Brown. Elizabeth Bennet. Darth Vader. She’d be awesome.

Samuel L. Jackson as Dolores Umbridge

Taika Watiti and Lin Manuel Miranda as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson (the musical)

Some notes from the game:

It’s harder to do this with actresses than actors because they tend to be more versatile.

Adding “The Musical” or “Directed by Mel Brooks” to any serious movies improves it by 500%

Christopher Walken is equally awesome/terrible at anything you put him in

If you don't have the manual for your car, you can probably find it online. Once you find it, download it! That way, if it gets moved or taken down because your car is older than the company wants to deal with, you still have a copy of the manual. (If your car is relatively new, you may be able to get a physical copy from a dealership, but they will probably charge for it.)

If possible, put the file on your phone so you have it available when you're away from home. Even if you only have access at home, at least you can look up things.

If you can't get a manual or your manual doesn't have instructions on changing a tire, print out instructions and put them with your spare tire. As other people have mentioned, having to change a tire almost always happens in miserable conditions. Having instructions easily available makes it less bad.

in the same spirit as those posts reminding you to drink some water and take your meds:

if you have a car, when’s the last time you checked your spare tire? because i know at least two people who’ve recently discovered that they couldn’t actually access their spare because they’d misplaced the necessary tool or some other thing. check your spare tire!! make sure you’ll be able to use it when you need it!!!
