As a Ukrainian, the past two years and especially and increasingly the recent months have felt like I and other people in my country are some test subjects behind a glass wall. And people from Western countries come and watch us slowly dying due to various poisons that are being introduced.
Occasionally someone throws us a vial of an antidote, but it's small and diluted and never enough to actually fully help. And they watch us dying one by one until they get bored or even annoyed and leave to go on with their day. And they have all the means to help. They just won't because they don't want a scandal with the people who are pumping poison at us.

bbc merlin - 03x08 The Eye of the Phoenix
gwaine's expression right before he says "not arthur" is just as important as the line itself. and so is merlin's reaction

saw a one piece live action character impressions post that pegged luffy as having daddy issues which is hilarious to me because luffy has, like, the opposite of daddy issues. he has daddy solutions. if you hang out with luffy long enough, your father-related angst starts to resolve. this has happened to multiple characters.

Chuuya: Yo, the bitch dead?

I am begging the world to understand that friendship is a legitimate form of love that is not diminished by the lack of a romantic relationship and it deserves to be celebrated for what it is.

Can we just normalize coming back from the dead. I swear every time I come back from the dead there's always one person that will just not let it go. I am so tired of people throwing pans at me.

yesterday at the game shop someone asked me when I started 3D printing. I told them a couple years ago, it was really easy to get into, sometimes I make things for commission, etc etc
then this person, this child, looked me square in the face and said "do you think it's too late for me to start? I'm almost 17..."
17
almost 17
ALMOST. SEVEN. TEEN.
when I tell you my soul left my body over this child, this mere not-even-17 year old, thinking they were already too old to start a new hobby, lemme tell you, I did not know how to respond
so i need yall to repeat after me
it is never too late to start a new hobby
it is never too late to start a new hobby!
it is never too late to start a new hobby!!
you wanna learn to crochet at 47? go off king! learn to paint at 69? nice! learn embroidery on your death bed?? it is literally never too late!! you don't even have to be good. it's absolutely wonderful to see people who are just ok or even bad at something doing that something unabashedly and at whatever age they happen to be

Another thing I keep asking myself is.... do I miss the person I used to be before the war? First before the initial invasion of 2014, and then up until the full scale invasion? It was a person who believed in the existence of something good out there. An extremely naїve person... I hope fellow Ukrainians may understand...

I can make post after post after post explaining WHAT dinosaurs are and HOW birds are living dinosaurs as CLEARLY as I can and point to FREE RESOURCES for people to learn more and yet I *STILL* get ignorant CRAP like this filling my notes EVERY DAMN DAY
dinosaur means a descendant of the most recent common ancestor of Megalosaurus and Iguanodon. "terrible REPTILE" is what we named them because HUMANS NAME THINGS.
birds descended from that ancestor. thus, they are dinosaurs.
neither dinosaurs NOR birds are lizards. lizards are their OWN DAMN HYPERADAPTED THING that are super weird and nothing like birds or dinosaurs.
i am a PALEONTOLOGIST and it SAYS SO IN MY BIO so CLEARLY I KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT
you can also GOOGLE THIS. AND GOOGLE WILL TELL YOU THE SAME THING.
like, let's put it this way:
I have known, my entire life, a particular truth about the world. The majority of evidence has continued to support that truth, throughout my 30 years of life.
And yet, every five seconds, I get a million people telling me, with their whole chests, that I am wrong, even though, I am not.
What I'm saying is I'm constantly getting the same effect as gaslighting by pretty much all of humanity apart from my comrades in arms and that has, in fact, contributed to my mental health issues.
This is not okay. Willful ignorance is not okay. We all need to be more okay with admitting we don't know things and looking them up. I don't know *lots* of things. And that's okay! I look them up! I learn!
Be okay with being wrong! Be okay with learning!
Stop doing this to scientists! We're really tired and really scared bc the planet is on fire and no one is listening! Thanks!

Please, for the love of all that is holy, stop saying that Mrs. Bennet is the only one "taking the situation seriously."
She is not.
Screaming about a problem doesn't mean you are taking it seriously. If she was taking it seriously, she'd have given her girls a proper education and advocated for saving for dowries. Her little schemes around Jane don't count as taking it seriously.
No one is taking the situation seriously.
