i was watching a deep sea documentary and these underwater cameras found a bigfin squid hovering ominously in the vast, crushing darkness. it was really fun hearing the scientists talk over the footage like “what’s that?” “o-oh looks like a squid haha” like with audible tension til they got a clearer shot. i could hear them trying to logic through and reason “surely that’s not something horrible” in real time in their voices. meanwhile the squid’s just hovering there like an evil marionette master
wait so you're telling me that the no-fly list is NOT public information even though it has THOUSANDS of names? and people arent notified when they get put on it??? im sorry what? thats so fucking ridiculous thats literally a government blacklist. do you guys know how bad that is. (and white libs wanna use it for gun control? yeah absolutely make it easier for the feds to racially profile and disarm poc, see how that goes).
EDIT: several people have mentioned that its. 1.4 million people. so uhm. what the fuck guys
This...this game isnt even trying to be subtle about its antisemitism. its a whole dogwhistle concert
Friendly reminder that Will Byers biked home from his best friend Mike’s house one night only to be run off the road by a monster, chased through the woods, fled to his shed and gripped a gun with shaky hands to defend himself, only for all of that to be for nothing, and taken to a strange, dark world with no one else around where he had to fend off and hide from other monsters. A friendly reminder that he survived an entire week there by sheer willpower, something no one else has ever done before. A friendly reminder that he did all of that while looking like this.
there is something so darkly comical about tumblr potentially outliving twitter
tumblr, which is held together with duct tape and madness, run by three raccoons in blood stained Yahoo! hats and a handful of crabs, its only discernible source of income the sale of shoelaces from an inside joke so inside no one knows the original source anymore and fake blue checkmarks... that website still lives on
truly the cockroach of social media and I love it for that
The people who get angry at Will for not stepping in when El was getting bullied really know nothing about trauma responses do they??
It was literally confirmed in s2 with Will's episodes that he has a mix of freeze responses and flight responses when faced with things he perceives as dangerous. El's bullies reminded him of his bullies and his brain perceived them as dangerous so he froze and locked up. That isn't his fault. That is just his trauma response. He's not a bad brother for not stepping in and beating up El's bullies. And it's clear how much he loves El and how heartbroken he felt for her. When she had her project ruined, he ran up to her crying and promising they'd fix it together.
Will is not a bad brother. Y'all just don't understand PTSD or anything about trauma and stress responses.
