Holy Fuck. I’m Aroace And Haven’t Had This Experience (thank God I Wasn’t Online Much As A Teen),

In honor of the winning bugs of the Hemipteran bug race! In first place we have the loud and proud cicada, in second we have the springy and spirited leafhopper, and in third we have the threateningly named assassin bug! Here are close-ups of the bugs with their medals!

Thank you to everyone who voted! ❤️❤️❤️

Man, we have got to stop treating art like it has an expiration date. That show stopped airing? Doesn’t mean it can’t haunt your every waking thought. Everybody’s into this album, but you don’t have the energy for new music right now? It’ll be waiting for you when you’re ready. That movie’s fifty years old and indie as shit? Incredible, you have the chance to share it with folks who might never otherwise feel that particular punch of delight. Books don’t go bad. Shows inspire fandoms decades after they’ve wrapped up. We’re still looking at cave paintings and statue work from ancient times and letting the joy of creation bring tears to our eyes. That’s the point of art. It’s as close to immortality as we ever get. Why try to give that magic a shelf life?

[Image Description from alt text: A badly edited image of Mettaton from Undertale with an arm around Troupe Master Grimm from Hollow Knight, depicting them as blushing and in love, in a heart-shaped frame. Text above and below the heart reads “Dance with me, darling…” and “The audience awaits.” End ID.]

This came through my dash, so here’s my cringey crossover crackship: Mettaton from Undertale and Grimm from Hollow Knight. These definitely-gay deadly dancers both live for the show… I can’t help but imagine the chaos of a combined act! They’d also argue because Grimm’s aesthetic choices and general style are way more tasteful than Mettaton’s though lol 😆

I think we should bring back that thing everyone did in 2014 where you badly photoshop two characters from entirely different media together to look like they’re in love. This is my proposal for doc ock x glados please consider

Billionaire Mark Cuban Opens Online Pharmacy To Provide Affordable Generic Drugs

The company was launched out of stealth last year.

The fact that Mark Cuban can do this is just further proof of how much capatalism is f*cking people over.

Billionaire investor Mark Cuban launched an online pharmacy Thursday that offers more than 100 generic drugs at an affordable price with a goal of being “radically transparent” in its price negotiations with drug companies. 

For example, the leukemia drug imatinib is priced at $47 a month on MCCPDC compared to the $9,657 retail price.

The online pharmacy’s prices for generics factor in a 15% margin on top of actual manufacturer prices and a $3 pharmacist fee, the statement said. 

Linking to my Grima Propaganda from last round :)

TLDR: Incredibly cool giant apocalypse dragon who has been repeatedly betrayed and attacked by humans, his worshippers are awful and not even he likes them, super complicated and interesting relationship with his unwilling vessel who may or may not actually be Grima himself reincarnated.
