Consider this: Gwendoline Christie playing the romantic lead in a Jane Austen adaptation, or indeed any period piece. Nothing else changes. Nobody draws attention to the fact she’s a woman. It’s just two solid hours of Gwendoline Christie on a horse and wearing a suit and sweeping maidens off their feet

You know those little things that keep bread bags closed?  Well, the internet would like to tell you about them.  If you’re not doing anything too important right now, I think you should visit HORG (that’s the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group) and explore a beautiful, obsessive, hilarious taxonomy of occlupanids.

Some of these must have a tiny , isolated reproducing population, because they’re looking rather in-bread.

This is amazing and up your alley.

Phylogeny is such an artificial fucking hot mess, I love it. I love it all. 

That Leverage fic is the best thing I’ve seen in days because it made me think of Parker and Bucky being bad at basic people things and accidentally bonding over that and becoming weird stealthy friends who don’t know how eye contact works.

I like the idea that Parker occasionally taps him for side missions together where they go and do stuff and Eliot is like “Why did you jack a car and set a small fire on the bridge yesterday?” and Bucky’s like “I dunno, Parker asked, it seemed like fun.” and Parker’s like “I have my reasons, DON’T JUDGE OUR FRIEND DATES.”
