theyre on an adventure over ur dash
its been p common knowledge for decades that light pollution can be massively reduced by just putting shades on streetlamps, and that doing that would save energy, help wildlife, and let us see the stars better, but are society says if u wanna change any minor little tiny thing u gotta dedicate ur whole life to campaigning for it and this is a good ways down the list of priorities for most ppl, so instead i gotta walk past newly-installed streetlamps that are just dumb glass globes that use half their electricity to blast half their light directly into the sky where it does only bad things for no reason and think "we should overthrow the government"
God, John and Sherlock from Sherlock & Con. are such an old married couple. They know each other for at max a couple of months and they pull this off on ep 12
John: "You are so cleaver, honestly"
Sherlock, flustered: "Oh...Stop"
John: "No, seriously"
Sherlock: "Stop it now, Watson. You flatter me. What about you with that tackle? Positively brutish!"
John, flustered too: "Well I was just... right in my stride and bang! Really connected- down he went"
Sherlock: "It was spectacular!"
John: "Aw thanks mate, it hurt my shoulder tho"
Sherlock: "You should put ice on that"
John: " Nah nah, it's ok"
Sherlock: "You'll regret it if you don't~"
John: "nahnahnah I'm fine honestly"
Sherlock, not convinced: "hm sure"
Guy that John just tackled to the ground: "Would you two shut up?"
dw bbg you can just be my cheerleader w a fuck ass bob
We have lived through this before.
People said Gore wasn't good enough, that he was Bland and uninteresting and middle of the road and something had to change. So they voted third party or they didn't vote at all. And the Democratic party didn't wake up, and we got George W Bush and all the absolute hot garbage that came with him.
And they said Hillary Clinton was the wrong candidate, that she was middle of the road at best and conservative for the Democrats at worst, that she was entitled and they were going to vote for a third party or they didn't vote at all or worse yet, they voted for the other candidate as a joke because it's not like those votes change things, you know? And the Democratic party didn't magically wake up, they didn't majorly change, and we are still dealing with the fallout from that.
And that's not only twice in my lifetime, but twice in my voting lifetime. One of the important things you learn in therapy is that you cannot change other people, and you cannot set your expectations based on how you think they ought to react to certain things.
If you are refusing to vote, or voting third-party because of what you think it's going to make someone else do, please reconsider.
If you want to make the liberals or the centrists or whatever you want to call them wake up, you're going to need to do something that hasn't already been done twice in the last 20 years.
my phone went from playing classical to midas touch my kiss of life
trying to heart attack me
sometimes instead of “why can’t they just be friends” i think it should be “why can’t they also be friends” because sometimes shipping feels much too much like forcing two pretty characters to kiss and be intimate without actually being interested in the dynamic the two people have. what about hanging out together. what about why they like being in each others company. what do they argue about. how do they patch things up. what do they laugh about.
It occurs to me that my ideal aroace partnership is like how the animal shelter sometimes calls animals that aren't even the same species a bonded pair.
They're not mating, but if you separate them, one of them might die of the Sadness.
Maybe I should just start saying Bonded Pair because the normies get too fuckin' hung up on the definition of "Queerplatonic."
