Props to our fav, mxmtoon, for pulling out probably the best rhyme of all time, “fault” with “gestalt”
Wait. Wait wait wait wait... y’all I just realized Julia’s meeting with Carmen for the first time on the train is wackkkk.
Carmen asks if the chair is taken and Jules says “yes but you can stay til my PARTNER arrives.”
And Carmen is like, “partner??” You know how gay couples sometimes choose to say so they don’t necessarily reveal they are gay in front of everyone.
Anyways, the Carmen is like, hmmm and looks around to... maybe see if she really is gay or something and realizes she meant Devineux.
Then Jules CLARIFIES “TRAVEL partner” to like, signal she’s single???? And then they proceed to flirt????
I’m shook?? Anyways, I might be reading into it too much but oh well.
I swear if Poison Ivy ends up with flippin “Kite Man” and not Harely, imma rage with hell’s fury.
I propose that we create a pride month tradition, in honor of Marsha P Johnson, of throwing bricks at cops. It’s what she would’ve wanted.
Reblog if you’re part of a hostile nation that’s declared war on Australia
i keep thinking about that tribe of baboons where all the alpha males died from eating poison garbage and then the baby boy monkeys were taken care of by the lady monkeys and never got socialized to be aggressive so they all just live peacefully and groom eachother instead of fighting and killing eachother and its been generations of that, it only took 1 wipeout of the aggressive males to change the whole social order of the species i am crying they must be so much happier
Oh my god guys! I just had a great idea!
So we all know the amazing eco brutalist architecture...
This stuff. Brilliant. Amazing. Show stopping...
Anyways, what if instead of clearing black people out of their prospering towns to make room for parks and reserves (looking at you Central Park😡) what if we started to make VERTICAL PARKS. Like, make a building in areas that might be too cramped for space and like, plant a crap ton of moss, flowers, plants and shit. Moss is better at making oxygen than trees anyways, so the air at the park would be mega crisp. And you could make like a cute little complex irrigation system inside. Have the building open to anyone for anytime. There needs to be tons of windows and benches to sit on and look out of them. Like???? It would be perfect and beautiful??? Why hasn’t this been done?
