Me when someone quote dunks here

Scene from The Simpsons.

First frame: Reverend Lovejoy releases a pin from the coupling mechanism holding a railcar behind the moving train.

Second frame: He stands in triumph as the train separates, leaving behind a railcar with an angry monkey.

Leave the angry monkeys, y’all. “Detach quote” when needed.

RIP Diane Keaton- such sad news, what an incredible talent. You probably didn't know she collected clown paintings by amateur artists, eventually publishing an entire book devoted to them

Their two months are demonstrably the worst ones; I say we remove them to get back on track

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

porn is not evil.
sex is not evil.
pleasure is not evil.
kink is not evil.

none of them are things to feel shame or embarrassment about.

none of them deserve the heavy-handed censorship that they're facing.

resist oppression (even if you don't partake in what is being oppressed)

RPGs are one of the most satisfying types of video games to finish in general - that's right, my ragtag band of heroes DID save the world - but it's astounding how much more satisfaction an epilogue adds

give me slides! letters! cute little cutscenes! let me see how I affected people!

Oh yay! Thank you!! 🥰🥰🥰

I started them on my first day working as a state employee, as a kind of “count-up” to being vested in a pension.

Once I run out of Pokémon (assuming they make ~150 more in the next two years) I should be at my five-year mark.

The first time I learned about Fire Island was because of the CD single for New Order’s “Regret” and its Fire Island Mix. Still an amazing track 30+ years later
