What's the scariest animal in Britain?
youknowyourebritishwhen:
I mean, we’re hardly teaming with lions and crocodiles, but birds and badgers can be terrifying too. I remember I went to WWT Slimbridge when I was around four and a very confident goose came and stole the inside of my sandwich whilst I was still eating it. I have never been the same since.
What’s your scariest experience of British wildlife?
I got chased by a...

Steve Wilhite, the creator of the GIF, chiming in on the pronunciation of the word. (As everyone knows, choosy memes choose “jif.”) Wilhite, a former CompuServe employee, created the format in 1987 and is to receive an award for his creation tonight. (via shortformblog)

You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?
It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

All I want is an episode of My Little Pony where the antagonist is male pony with a fedora cutie mark who goes around harassing everyone for pursuing their own interests instead of dating him and then the mane 6 use the elements of harmony to banish him to an actual place called the friendzone and where he is kept prisoner until he learns to appreciate having girls as friends and...

movethefuckoverbro:
We call it “King of the Mountain” or many other names. It is root to patriarchy. If we men don’t play it well we suffer adverse consequences. Patriarchy does not oppress only women. And guys who deny its existence and its oppressiveness are either asleep, or unwilling to face what it is doing and…

So it’s well observed that men often take up as much space on public transport as they want, usually causing discomfort to other passengers. It’s pretty well documented on movethefuckoverbro. What also really grinds my gears is when they also hum, whistle or loudly tap their feet along to the music they’re listening to. I NEVER see a woman do this. Like, I can fucking feel this guy’s feet tapping...

White people get mad when you wear a band t shirt of a band you don’t listen to, but they’re fine with wearing headdresses from cultures they know and care nothing about.

The older I get the less I want kids. Or maybe it’s because I’m a lot happier now and with someone who doesn’t make me hate myself or feel like something’s missing.
The fact that our relationship feels like a huge extended date doesn’t lend itself well to having kids either. Like, we’re settled and super comfortable with each other, but hanging out is still fun...

OH MY GOD APPARENTLY TAKING AN ARROW TO THE KNEE WAS AN OLD NORDIC SLANG FOR GETTING MARRIED
I THOUGHT THAT ALL THOSE GUYS IN SKYRIM HAD LITERALLY BEEN SHOT IN THEIR KNEES WITH ARROWS BUT I GUESS NOT

daniellemertina:
most people like sex in some way or form.
but the general way that hetero men go about liking sex is so dehumanizing and disgusting. because it’s like they’re not even having sex with a human being. they’re having sex with an object or a body part.
then there’s the way…

Having such inane shit on the TV probably isn’t helping either, but I can’t seem to find the energy to do something different. I know playing Skyward Sword would make me feel better, but gaming is inexplicably intimidating right now. What the fuck.
Shut up Hayley.

I haven’t been chronically depressed for a few months now, which is fantastic, but on those increasingly rare days that it creeps back in I’m so unprepared for it that it completely floors me. I feel utterly confused and isolated.

if you ever think mythology is boring or serious business or whatever shit
just remember that cerberus, the hell-hound and guard dog of the underworld, comes from the root indo-european word ḱerberos, which evolved into the greek word kerberos, which got changed to cerberus when it went from greek to latin
ḱerberos means “spotted”
that’s right

I was talking to a friend the other day. She’s a gentle soul, a kind-hearted person who says, “I could never kill an animal” with wide, pained eyes that let you know she’s not talking in hyperbole….

I’m disappointed you don’t feel the same way about me as I do about you. However I really respect you as a person and enjoy your company, so I believe that my feelings for you can easily change to be platonic. Can we still be friends?
