It is just the universe trying to convince me that I really do need to make comics about basic science. Except that I am lazy.

So lazy.

SO the OP is totally bullshit, and it’s good to take it down BUT… DNA is not protein. It’s a nucleic acid, which is, (very, very) basically, a string of 5-carbon sugars with chemical bases (the GATCs) stuck on.

Please.

Like oh my god I can’t.

Can you put up a click-through link? The mobile app and site won’t let me reblog for some reason right now :/

Here you go.

Signal-boosting this.

Did you even read this blog before signal boosting it? I have serious problems with cis people getting together to talk about “the truth” which is apparently this bullshit:

“Honestly, we think it would be best if everyone could just be defined by their birth sex - nothing more. You follow gender roles? Okay. You don’t follow gender roles? That’s okay too. It doesn’t change your birth sex. You can be a “masculine” female or a “feminine” male. But you’re still a female and a male, physically. End of story.”

Yeah, how about no.

ETA: Clicking outside of this and a few other comment threads suggests that the signal boost is actually referring to a call for people to fill the ask box with “WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU” comments. Which, I don’t know. Carry on, I guess.

Phew, I feel less ARGHWTFGHG now that I’ve found the missing context. I was having a “WHY DO YOU PEOPLE THINK THIS IS A GOOD THING” moment.

Honest questions are probably a waste of time when copy-pasted key-mashing gets the point across just as well.

Or we could just ignore them since it’s not like they won’t just post their bullshit anyway. I don’t know. Eye lasers eye lasers eye lasers.

Oh, Tumblr. You’re even worse than LJ in the SCREAM FIRST ask later realm.

I’m reblogging this because I forgot that I wrote all this. Twitter can do that.

I remember Warren Ellis said something similar. Though I believe he used books about nursing as his analogy as opposed to pirate romance.

Is pirate romance about romantic relationships involving pirates or is it a romantic view of the concept of pirates? 

why can’t it be both? 
I’d say this goes for video games as well.  

If only there were more pirate romance comics! It is the only way out of this mess.

These were the copies I read in my school when I was eleven or twelve. Just in case you were wondering.

Bad Bond Cover Art

What I didn’t realize until I started reading all the Bond books as research for The Curse Workers is that they are about 25% travelogue, 25% detailed meals that Bond consumes, 25% booze that Bond consumes, 15% crime solving adventure/battling large octopi, and only 5% makin’ it with ladies.

I think there are also at least 5% descriptions of the many cigarettes James Bond has smoked, is smoking, or will be smoking.

OH. MY. GOD. Catstache. I am… so dead of laughter and cat. #fb

I have words for this, but none of them can be uttered in polite company.

i don’t understand why anybody bothers to argue about why they do or don’t use trigger/content warnings i mean don’t they know they’re never ever ever ever ever going to top that guy who said he doesnt tag trigger warnings because hes a falcon and falcons are dangerous

he set the bar high guys come on get creative

I have no idea what this is referring to, but I agree. Tumblr arguments need more completely ridiculous claims.

For the record, I don’t tag trigger warnings because no matter how many posts I tag, there’s still no cure for cancer.
