bro i leave tumblr for five minutes and asexuality is trending??? without me??? i'm disappointed.
also congrats alice oseman my beloved on seasons 2 and 3 of heartstopper!!
I could not stop laughing while reading this. Poor Bones.
tbh though if i were mccoy i’d be pretty fucking fed up with spock too. imagine you’re a doctor, you dedicate your life to learning how care for hundreds of different life forms and species across the galaxy, and then your wife divorces you, which leads you to enlisting as a doctor for starfleet. this is WAY outside of your comfort zone, you hate adventure and you’d rather be sittin on a porch in the sun with some sweet tea in hand and your daughter on your knee, but you ain’t got nowhere else to go, and who are you if you aren’t a doctor? you’ve dedicated your whole life and so much more to healing. so you enlist, you get assigned to a starship. not your dream job, but if there’s one thing leonard mccoy knows how to do it’s treat patients. and then THIS MEDICAL MARVEL MOTHERFUCKER comes in with his fucked up gene spliced half human half vulcan biology and the rarest most obscure blood type even among vulcans with ZERO precedent for his existence or medical baseline and also happens to be THE WORST PATIENT IN HISTORY. REFUSES to sit still and follow instructions. always making smart ass comments about your silly human emotionalism. you’ll get insane fucking readings and be like “spock i think you’re dying” and the bastard will answer with a straight face “yes. that’s just pon farr.” “can you tell me how to treat it?” “no.” and then just walks out of the fucking sickbay. you’re constantly busting your ass trying to figure out how to keep this human-alien catboy mix’n’match medical nightmare from hell alive and healthy and all you get in return is backhanded compliments from an emotionally stunted fruit. and you can’t even complain about it to your best friend because he’s too busy doodling this obstinate motherfucker’s name all over his notebook while eye-fucking him on the middle of the bridge. hell i’d be an alcoholic too.
If you go to a protest about Roe v Wade, make sure you remember these things.
The police are not your friend. They are not here to help, and they do not care who you are or what you’re doing. If you look like you might be a protester, they will fuck you up indiscriminately. Do not speak to them or interact with them in any capacity whatsoever.
If they arrest you, and they do not read you your Miranda rights, you still have the right to invoke them. But you cannot sue them anymore for not reading you your rights, because of the Supreme Court’s ruling. Invoke your right to silence. Do not speak with them unless you are asking for a lawyer. Not even small talk. Demand a lawyer, and then shut the fuck up completely.
Turn your phone’s location services/data/Face ID/fingerprint/etc. off before you go. Use only encrypted apps to communicate.
If you’re marching, cover your face. Cover up any and all identifiable features on your body, period. Tie up your hair and put it under a hat. Cover up tattoos and piercings. Wear all black, if possible. Do not let them identify you on camera.
Bring food and water. Especially water, in case of tear gas or pepper spray. Use it to thoroughly rinse your eyes and anyone else’s.
Along that same line, do not wear contacts.
Bring an umbrella. It’s a good deflector for yourself and those standing behind you. Use it as a shield.
Bring earplugs. Cops use what are essentially ‘sound guns’ at some protests, and they can cause permanent hearing damage.
There will be suspiciously convenient piles of construction materials such as bricks, rebar, etc., near where you’re marching. There is a decent chance that this will happen, and it has already happened multiple times during multiple different protests. It is bait. Do not use it. Do not look at the bricks, do not touch the bricks, do not pick up the bricks, do not even think about throwing a brick. The police will use that as probable cause to arrest you for rioting.
Do not go alone, and do not let the police separate you from the main group of protesters. This will leave you in an extremely dangerous situation. Stay with the group at all costs. The police prey on stragglers.
If you go with friends, make sure to exchange important emergency information with them beforehand in case any of you are arrested. Do not leave any of your friends behind.
Leave that same information with someone who is not going to the protest to be your jail contact, in case you are arrested and your friends are also arrested.
If you make it to a corner or intersection, turn quickly. Police will use those areas to try and break the group apart. Get through those areas as quickly as you can.
To keep the group together, go with the flow of traffic. If you need to lose the police, go against the flow of traffic where their cars cannot follow you.
If you are standing at a police barricade, do not put your hands on the barricade. They will hit your fingers with batons, and they do not care if they break your fingers. Instead, lock hands or lock arms with other protesters beside you. If you hold their hands, do not interlock your fingers together. This will get your fingers broken if the police hit it with a baton.
This isn’t a complete list of advice, but it was everything I could think of at the moment. Please use it to stay safe and use your First Amendment rights to speak and assemble freely.
So who else has seen the Bad Batch S2 trailer.

Jewish law explicitly allows for abortion when the health of the mother is at risk, and in many other cases. In some cases abortion is recommended or required by halakha. Prohibiting them by law infringes on Jewish religious freedom. Not to mention it’s unsafe.
Here’s the original thread from Twitter but I want all my followers protesting the recent supreme court decision to stay safe.
[Image description: A screenshot of a tweet from Rh3t0ric (@avglibsoc) that says ‘In lieu of Roe V Wade being overturned, I’m going to compile a thread of any protest advice I can find’ followed by an infographic illustrating the following:

okay I love the energy of witches on here sharing herbs that act as abortifacients and I think it's commendable that you're trying to help but please please please stop. so many of these herbs can cause liver and renal failure. theres a reason we've phased them out in exchange for mifepristone and misoprostal. you are not a chemist nor a doctor nor a licensed abortion provider. if you do not administer these herbs correctly to yourself, you can either get seriously sick or die.
I know that desperate times lead to desperate measures but you do not have to resort to home grown abortion. People have died from home abortions. you will have options. please do not formulate your own abortion.
stop taking medical advice from tumblr.
Do you ever see something and just go, “Damn, that’s really neat” for no discernible reason?
So anyway, here’s this bug
extra:
blue beetle II, aka theodore "ted" kord, was created by steve ditko and first appeared as a backup feature in 1966 in charlton comics' captain atom series. he later got his own short-lived solo, before the charlton heroes were acquired by DC in the mid-80s and integrated into the DC universe via the crisis on infinite earths crossover event. ted had a solo run in the 80s, but is perhaps best known for being a central and founding member of the justice league international, where he met his lifelong best friend booster gold.
booster gold, aka michael jon carter, was created by dan jurgens and first appeared in his 1986 solo series as the first new major character introduced to the post-crisis DC universe. booster soon joined the justice league international, and has since had two really good solos and featured prominently in 52. he's most well known as the fame-hungry time-travelling hero with a heart of gold, as well as the blue beetle's best friend.
together, they're known for being fun-loving heroes, the personification of the 'bwa-ha-ha' era of the justice league, and one of the best friendships in the DC universe.
i've compiled a catalogue of every single comic appearance of both of these characters, as well as highlighting what i consider 'essential' blue & gold reading. each issue is also marked with whether they're both in it, whether/to what degree they interact, content warnings, and my own personal notes (some of which might even be useful to people other than me).
read it, use it, share it with your friends, and please enjoy!
Hey, how’s it going. If you like consistency, you have come to the wrong place.
