I Suck at Titles. So this is a Placeholder Title

thebibliosphere:

Do you think “Riddle me this, Batman?” has become a common lexicon among Gothamnites for when they don’t understand something?

I like to think it has. I like to think they’ve heard The Riddler say it one too many times, and now it’s just ingrained into their collective psyches in much the same way as “No shit, Sherlock” is.

I also like to imagine Bruce Wayne making a rare appearance at a corporate meeting, and the latest Gen Z hire, a generation that infamously doesn’t fuck with formal office corporate speak, just leans over the table and says, “Okay, I hear what you’re saying, but riddle me this, Batman,” and Bruce tries not to choke on his coffee.

Washington State Department of Natural resources tweets:

(Falling to my knees, begging, pleading)

Please.

Folks, seriously.

PLEASE.

Do not - and I can’t emphasize this enough - set the state on fire this weekend.

Fire danger is abnormally high this holiday weekend.

URGING you to consider firework alternatives:

- screaming “bang! boom!” at the sky

- dropping a stack of large books on the floor

- wrapping a toga around a candle

- play America the Beautiful while combining Coke and Mentos

oh try tossing lightsticks in the air. You could make a small catapult!

or juggling cheerleaders’ pompoms while singing “Yankee Doodle”

do you think that in the 1800s and shit when it was all steam trains and scrooge flavored business guys in the stock market, and shit, that people went to their rich grandmas house from the 1700s french revolution times with roccoco and so on and it was like floral curtains and 1950s lamps and other grandma shit to them? i think it was

yeah they mention this in the novels all the time. the funniest version of this is when Victorian novels have characters who are old grannies and aunties which means they were young women during the more socially liberal Georgian period and think all the conservative sentimentalism, modesty and layers are ridiculous

When I first started reading books featuring this historical generational gap (when I was in high school in the early 90s) I was like “LOL wild! Hilarious! Only imagine being in the situation of finding your own children or grandchildren to be maudlin Bible-thumpers and judgmental prudes!” And let me tell you: turns out it’s not as funny as I thought it would be.

Color coming back into Louis’s life.

btw this painting has now been identified as an original work named “Shelter,” by the actor/artist Peter Macon (The Orville).

i love the choice here to feature a new painting by a lesser-known contemporary artist, contrasting with the Armand-era collection of obscenely expensive collectors items and/or morbid allegorical art. an obvious sign of Louis spreading his wings in terms of personal taste.

(not to mention the incredible progression between the scene where Louis says he’ll “wait for revelation to enter the room” when discussing a replacement for the Bacon triptych, and then later, after Daniel’s revelation in the finale… he slams Armand into the aforementioned wall, which now houses this very painting.)

I haven’t seen this circulating here on Tumblr, so I decided to make my own post.

last saturday, in Porto, there was a pride parade going down the street and this old man was standing there, by his front door, waving the portuguese flag. most people on the parade probably thought the same: old person waving the national flag? he’s probably protesting against the parade, he’s a nationalist of some sort.

then the old man called for that person to come near him. the whole parade stopped. everyone just.. stopped moving. they didn’t know what to expect, and most expected the worst. and that person decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and approached the old man. and then… they traded flags, he hugged the person and then he waved the pride flag happily. everyone cheered him.

such a wholesome moment. 🥹❤️🌈

I’ve seen posts going around claiming that petting animals is basically tricking them into thinking they’re being groomed, and it’s bugging me because, like, there’s no trickery afoot. Petting and scritching are grooming activities. They help to dislodge loose fur and foreign objects and more evenly distribute protective oils, among other things. Primates are social groomers, and the human impulse to scritch is the legacy of our primate ancestors. We see an animal we like, even a dangerous one, and the monkey brain says “groom that thing”.

Please, please I am begging my American followers to vote blue because even if nothing changes some of us will have time to prepare to flee.

Keep in mind that Biden losing doesn’t mean an end to the genocide in Palestine. It just means more death.
