why do people think household stuff is Sad and Boring
my kitchen has enough cast iron in it to go to war with the Seelie AND Unseelie courts, I get to have a tiny box that CONTROLS MICROWAVES and I don’t even really know what microwaves ARE but THEY ARE HARNESSED AT MY COMMAND, I have a box that makes Winter Happen in a controlled space AND at two different levels of Winter AT ONCE
like please just appreciate sometimes how much Awesome is in your house
who let the Space Orcs into the kitchen?
I have scary news for you: the space orcs MADE THE KITCHEN.
(You really do have enough iron in your kitchen to go to war with all the Courts tho. Your stainless steel stuff has MORE IRON IN IT even than the cast iron – the names are really deceptive, but we make steel BY PURIFYING THE CARBON OUT OF THE IRON ORE. I also have enough salt and herbs to fuck with everything going and I don’t even seriously cook.)
1242. On a dark night, travelers from across France cross paths at an
inn and begin to tell stories of three children. Their adventures take
them on a chase through France: they are taken captive by knights, sit
alongside a king, and save the land from a farting dragon. On the run to
escape prejudice and persecution and save precious and holy texts from
being burned, their quest drives them forward to a final showdown at
Mont Saint-Michel, where all will come to question if these children can
perform the miracles of saints.
Join William, an oblate on a
mission from his monastery; Jacob, a Jewish boy who has fled his burning
village; and Jeanne, a peasant girl who hides her prophetic visions.
They are accompanied by Jeanne’s loyal greyhound, Gwenforte …
recently brought back from the dead. Told in multiple voices, in a style
reminiscent of The Canterbury Tales, our narrator collects their stories and the saga of these three unlikely allies begins to come together.
From Downton Abbey to Call the Midwife and now Jamestown, period dramas always fall into the classic trap – characters with laughably liberal values for their day. Stop the madness, TV-makers!
I’m Charlie. I’m a trans dude who has been fairly active in the community here in NYC for well over a decade. My colleagues and I at the Hunter HIV/AIDS Research Team (HART) have developed a national survey that seeks to quantify various indicators of the physical, sexual, and emotional health of men and nonbinary individuals of trans masculine experience. This survey was developed through one on one interviews with a diverse group of 30 trans masculine participants, documenting a wide range of wants and needs for the future provision of transgender health.
We launched this survey on Facebook one week ago, and the response so far has already been overwhelming, having received entries from hundreds of transmasculine participants. Help us out with a reblog to spread the word? I am an Old Millenial thus I am not very good at tumblr.
As a heads up: the survey is pretty long. People gave us such meaningful and diverse stories in the interviews that there was a lot here we wanted to be able to capture here. Folks should plan to spend around 20-30 minutes on it, and know that if you want to take a break and come back, you can pick up where you left off as long as you haven’t cleared your browser cache. Please keep sharing, particularly with folks we don’t usually get to see/hear from, like POC, nonbinary transmascs, folks who have had bottom surgery or have given birth, and people in rural areas. This study was funded by the NIH, so we have the opportunity to show that we exist and that our needs are important – on a federal level. In this postapocalyptic hellscape that is the current US administration, having data on the needs of vulnerable communities is powerful ammunition. Compensation is available through a raffle of 10 $100 gift cards, and we are working to see if we can get more. The survey is mobile phone friendly and compatible with screen reading assistive tech.
We’re working on posting it around on other social media platforms, so to keep up to date as those roll out, feel free to follow us on our FB page at https://www.facebook.com/TMHealthSurvey/
Endless thanks for all your help on getting the word out. We couldn’t do this without the outpouring of community support we’ve received, and we are so grateful for everyone who has contributed to getting this off the ground and out into the world. If you have any questions or feedback, please do not hesitate to DM me or email my colleague Gus Klein (gklein@gradcenter.cuny.edu).
today at work a man brought a pug in on a leash and that pug was so excited and happy to see me it was as if we were old friends who havent been in contact in 7 years i felt so loved in that moment
today a bassett hound came in and wagged her tail so furiously all of her loose skin started to jiggle and she was so pumped to see me i want more dogs to come into my store they make my life whole and worthwhile
I’m so glad this came back cause a golden retriever named Milly came in today who put her paws on my register counter and wanted to say hi to me and I loved her so much and I scratched her ears and she gave me that classic dopey dog smile
yesterday a girl came in with her boyfriend and in her hand was a tiny tan colored dog that she told me was a chihuahua/pekingese mix and he had a severe underbite and one little canine tooth was poking out and his ears were like bent at the tips and i immediately commented on how amazing he was and she goes omg thanks do you wanna pet him and i was like there is literally nothing more i want to do while being on the clock right now than to pet this incredible tiny dog and he was so sweet and licked my hand and his name was spike
yesterday these people came in and put a blanket into one of our shopping baskets and it started to move and i was like omg whats in there and they set it down on the counter and the blanket kept moving and the suspense was so good like is it gonna be a cat is it gonna be a ferret maybe a lizard and then the smallest chihuahua ive ever seen in my life popped her little head out and licked my finger and i died
A baby german shepherd named Jonathan came in tonight and since i was on the sales floor and not behind a counter i say to the owner omg can i pet this angel and they were like yeah of course and i crouched down and Jonathan ran into my arms and almost tripped over his puppy feet it was 12/10
TODAY a german shepherd named london grabbed one of our lanterns off the shelf and was carrying it around and the owner was like, “london no, we’re not getting that” and gave him the merchandise she was buying instead and he carried it to me and dropped it on the counter at my register and i could have cried
I want everyone to know both London and Jonathan (Jonnie) came in the other day on the same day. Jonnie is much larger since the last time I saw him but still sweet and still acts like a pup, he barked at something in our footwear department. London still likes to carry things and put his paws up on my register to say hello, he carried the insoles his owner bought out the door for her. Also thanks for the notes, it’s nice to see so many people appreciate dogs on here. Another reminder, I see a lot of dogs because I work in a sporting goods store in a strip mall next door to a Petco and we absolutely allow dogs in our store. I live in a mountain town in Colorado and dogs are common here because there are lots of fun outdoor stuff to do with them.
A sheltie in a Petco shopping cart came in yesterday and her name was Sadie and she was so excited to say hi that she jumped out of the cart, onto my register counter, but she missed and Mufasa’d her way to the floor, but she was okay. The owner just let her sit on the counter and she was very well behaved and she gently smelled every item I scanned and also my hand. She was obsessed with her neck being scratched.
today a black lab name paxton came in off leash and he jiggled his way into our back room because the door was open and i yelled He Is Employed! and told his owner that we’d be happy to hire him and then eventually he made his way up to the front by himself and into the register area behind the counter and now he’s my new manager
after a solid decade of resistance (yay autism XD) i have joined twitter. god save us.
