• atmospheric pressure
• surface tension
• lagrangian mechanics and stable fixpoints
• minimizing surfaces and surface tension again

That is, in order, what you need to understand to get why this happens.

I literally didn’t know Gorbachev was still alive. This means that, hypothetically, he could see this post:

rip to gorbachev, hope he saw this post before he died

rereading his dark materials with a bit more historical knowledge than the last time and the sheer amount of research that must have gone into lyra’s world is unbelievable the DETAILS I am picking up. chocolate was never altered to be consumed in solid form. the scramble for africa never happened. the norse established a permanent presence on north america. fucking doggerland didn’t fully sink?? some semblance of nuclear power exists but there are still early-1900s clothing standards??? HELLOO mr pullman your CEREBRUM hand it OVER

licherally cannot explain to adults these days that im actually so cool with the idea of being “just an employee” somewhere as long as i am paid enough to live comfortably and i also like the job. “but dont you want to be rich?? dont you want to always be striving for more???” like that sounds EXHAUSTING and i like having friends so

I just wanna be comfy and maybe go on a little vacation once a year 🥲

I love that Tumblr is like “We got Neil Gaiman to do a question and answer session so send in your questions and maybe he’ll answer them!” as though the man hasn’t spent the last few years hanging out here answering random questions and cementing himself as a widely beloved fixture of this site

“We brought in Neil Gaiman”

the fuck you did, he lives here

Maybe I’m old fashioned, but I preferred the Addams Family when they were just creepy, kooky, mysterious, and spooky. Now Wednesday is a murderer who drops piranhas in a swimming pool and watches people get eaten. We even get blood. Not fake blood like in the first movie, but actual blood from an actual person screaming in pain because he’s being eaten alive.

Just… why?????

Also Tim Burton seems to have fundamentally misunderstood what makes the Addams Family work as a concept. See, I knew that this show was going to be about an older Wednesday in high school, but I assumed it would be a normal high school. In fact I got a little excited at the beginning of the trailer because the school was named after Nancy Reagan, which made me think they were going to bring back the satirical elements from the 60s TV show. But no. As it turns out, that’s not the high school the show will be focusing on. It’s actually the Nevermore Academy, which is just as dark and weird as the Addams Family… and I HATE that!

The reason the Addams Family works is because they’re the odd ones out. The comedy comes from seeing a typical suburban conservative Christian neighbourhood reacting to the gothic strangeness of the Addams Family, the irony being that the Addams Family are the ones that are well adjusted and happy because they’re perfectly content with who they are, unlike their neighbours who are constantly concerned with their own social status. If everyone is like the Addams Family… where’s the joke? The premise no longer works.

It seems like Tim Burton just wanted an excuse to do his usual quirky gothic aesthetic without stopping to consider that it only works in contrast with the white picket fence neighbourhood the Addams Family inhabit. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Sorry, I could never be a capitalist, I suffer from “wanting humans to have their basic needs met” disorder, where I care about people who aren’t me.

Someone once asked me if, assuming we got universal healthcare, I would be okay with the rise in “healthcare tourism” where people who are sick come to our country to get their medical bills taken care of and life-saving medical treatment cheaper than in their home countries.

I was just like, yeah thats fine, I’d actually prefer it if 0 people died from preventable causes kept behind a paywall for no reason.

“even the addicts?” yeah dude did i fucking stutter
