forever thinking about how destiel is a complete inversion of the typical "i'll love you in every universe” trope.

like this was their only chance!!! they only loved each other the once!!! they loved each other enough that they overwrote destiny and fate. they said "i know the universe has a plan for me, but screw the universe. screw god and fate and destiny, because i have you." they loved each other enough to rewrite the fabric of the universe. they changed everything.

ive never been able to understand why people ship giles and buffy... i know to me and to many other people he's like a father figure to her, and this is stated at the end of "helpless" when he's getting fired! shipping them feels so odd and strange to me. even if the father-daughter relationship didn't exist there's still the fact that giles has known buffy since she was 16, and he's been an adult that entire time. i guess i can understand why people like that kind of older/younger taboo but personally for me it just weirds me out and i don't get it 💔

We celebrate the purported geniuses who discovered the cure--but we don't acknowledge that discovering a cure means nothing unless and until we get the cure to the people who need it--an enterprise we've failed at to a remarkable degree over the last 70 years.

So, I found out a fun fact this last weekend!

Every state has a Department of Weights and Measures. One of their jobs is to make sure that companies are actually selling you the quantities they claim they're selling. For example, this is the department which tests gas pumps and makes sure they're really pumping out a gallon of gas when they charge you for a gallon of gas.

So....

If you happen to, just as an example, notice that your 1lb (16 ounce) box of San Giorgio spaghetti actually only has 10oz of noodles, and you weigh your other boxes of spaghetti to discover they run from 10 to 14 ounces but never the full pound they're supposed to have, and that's why you never seem to have enough pasta for leftovers the next day, then you can report that to the Department of Weights and Measures.

They will want to know where you bought the item, and then will investigate whether the store or the manufacturer is routinely shorting customers. If they do, they will issue a fine to the offending party, you will be eligible for a refund, and under some circumstances lawsuits may follow.

Now, I don't know the outcome of the complaint I just initiated, but they did not want to know specific receipts or times of purchase. Which is good for me as I didn't keep any of those things, at the time I just said "Wow, fuck San Giorgio" and switched brands. But this is still enough to get an inspector out.

It's so weird to realize the impact Anne Rice had on the gothic genre and vampire stories and then have the inspirations be super straight. I blame hetronormativity and SMeyer.
