Like now that I am awake I need to reiterate how huge this is. It was presumed harvested to extinction by the Romans. It was a favorite flavoring and according to historians one of the best contraceptives ever known. True or not it would be fantastic to study that but it being extinct made that impossible.
This is such a huge deal! I hope they get it figured how to grow it.
you don’t understand, i need this blue beetle movie trilogy to happen so we can get the scene of the reach questioning why the scarab went against its programming and they refuse to believe its because the power of friendship or whatever, but in truth that’s it. khaji da had something the other scarabs didn’t, it had a friend in jaime reyes, and that saved the world.
For new readers wondering when we’ll get the iconic scene of Dracula sensually drinking from Lucy or carrying her bridal-style: we won’t. It doesn’t exist. The most contact we see is a shadow standing behind her or a large bird at the window. The book doesn’t sexualize Lucy and Dracula’s encounters at all (ironically, in contrast to his encounters with Jonathan).
We know he is feeding on her—like a leech, like an infection, but everything beyond that is in the mind of the beholder. She’s a woman and a victim, therefore Stoker must be punishing her for her sexuality, therefore she must be responsible for her own pain, therefore we gotta make it Hot.
Currently, I sleep with a 15 lb blanket. It no longer feels particularly heavy. If I continue to pile more weighted blankets on top of it, I can get strong as fuck in my sleep. Eventually I’ll look like Goku just from sleeping
when I was like 10 I asked my friend “what do you think of this cute boy in school” and she said “I wanna snap his bra strap” and that’s stayed with me all my life.
terfs celebrating that the international chess federation has banned trans women from competing in women’s FIDE competitions, because it’s sooooooo feminist to argue that women are so biologically inferior and nowhere near as smart as men and thus can’t play chess on the same level. girl that’s not feminism that’s literally just misogyny
