“Here is a lesson in creative writing. First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.”— Kurt Vonnegut, A Man Without a Country (via zakkain)
I like semicolons. They show the difference between a pause and a slightly longer pause.
I’m not being facetious; this is something I genuinely like.
Yes! They are a valuable tool in conveying the varied cadences and complexities of speech.
mostly exactly my reaction I can’t watch that shit
THIS IS FUCKING GREAT
aahaha!
But what’s with lesbians and Home Depot? I remember that joke from Will & Grace back in the day too.

Stories about Nichelle Nichols inspiring young black women always make me tear up a little. This stuff makes me proud to be a Trekkie.
“During the Comedy Central Roast of Shatner on August 20, 2006, Nichols jokingly referred to the groundbreaking moment and said, “Let’s make TV history again … and you can kiss my black ass!”“
I saw this on youtube, it was hilarious. George Takei does a great bit too.

WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU INTENTIONALLY AN AWESOME CAP SHIRT THIS GUY IS TERRIBLE
Cap would not intentionally ruin his clothes. That would be wasteful.
Cap would be disappointed in you, man in .gif.
What if he’s just protesting sweatshop-made clothing? Cap would support American manufacturing!
Name one group of oppressed people who were able to end mass genocide and institutional ans systemic oppression by being nice.

Ghandi? Sort of?
edit: apparently I think Ghandi is the name of a whole group of people.

Holy damn.

I can never decide if i adore Wes Anderson’s style or if i am slightly annoyed by it
I feel exactly the same way.
It’s maddening.
So many earth tones and ’70s throwbacks. So many.
Venus of Google - Matthew Plummer-Fernandez
“The Venus of Google was ‘found’ via a Google search-by-image, googling a photograph taken of an object I had been handed over in a game of exquisite corpse. The Google search returned visually similar results, one of these being an image of a woman modelling a body-wrap garment. I then used a similar algorithmic image-comparison technique to drive the automated design of a 3D printable object. The ‘Hill-Climbing’ algorithm starts with a plain box shape and tries thousands of random transformations and comparisons between the shape and the image, eventually mutating towards a form resembling the found image in both shape and colour.”

Men had no problem violating women’s bodies while they had on corsets, petticoats and farthingales, so what the fuck makes you think a short skirt has anything to do with it?
Men also have no problem violating women’s bodies while they wear a niqab, hijab and burqa, some of the most covered form of clothing. So basically, what the fuck makes you think clothes have anything to do with it?
Super relevant.
I think clothes have a lot to do with it—because as long as there are people who think clothing is the problem (“hurr she was askin fer it”), the system will not change into one that recognizes the ridiculousness of that argument and shuts it down.
Recognizing reality is important: we don’t yet live in a glorious utopia where you can walk down the street in Daisy Dukes without being quote-unquote “asking fer it” . That is still a sequence of events that occurs. And statistically, covering up probably does lower one’s chances of getting assaulted, just like not walking alone in a dark alley would lower my chances of being mugged.
Today, right now—sadly—wearing a short skirt DOES matter, because that’s what a lot of people still think. We need to educate that clothes don’t matter – but until that process is complete, they matter a lot.
