Fortunately, Most Of The People I Know Well Enough To Go To Their Parties Have Very Accommodating Pets.

I kindof want to see all of these.  I’ve seen enough Shakespeare and adaptations of Shakespeare that they sound ridiculous but also like they could be really good if handled well.

Six Shakespeare adaptations

1. Titus and Ronicus. Somewhat like Titus Andronicus, but with the addition of Titus’s wisecracking brother, Ronicus Andronicus. Known for that one wild slapstick scene with the pie at the end.

2. The Complete The’s of Shakespeare. Consists of every ‘the’ that Shakespeare wrote, delivered in an appropriate manner for each instance. Has the advantage of being much easier for a million monkeys to type. Is therefore much kinder to monkeys than the alternative. Please consider the monkeys. 

3. Henry V in space. We begin the play awaiting the arrival of the French Ambassadors. They are coming from France, which is seven light-years away and several hundred metres under the newly-risen Atlantic. It may be a long wait.

4. A Twelfth Night’s Hamlet. In which Hamlet is shipwrecked on the way to England and has to dress up as a woman dressing up as a man to in order to evade detection whilst avenging his father’s murder, but comedy strikes when he vacillates a little too long in an oddly-mislocated enchanted forest. Everyone ends up both completely heterosexually married and also dead.

5. The Scottish Play, a theatre-safe version of Macbeth which avoids bad luck by never mentioning the title character’s name or indeed anyone else’s name either. Explores issues of identity and confusion. Usually there is at least one murder, but nobody is quite sure of who by who. In fact, because nobody is sure who is king, or indeed what the succession actually is, it naturally follows that the only way to ensure kingship is to kill everyone.

6. Juliet and Cressida. It may have been that Cressida found some way to take advantage of Shakespeare’s not-always-consistent time periods to perform an audacious act of time travel. We are still not entirely sure. In any case we tracked down Juliet and Cressida to ask them what the plot had been, since they were both notably still alive in the present day. But Juliet made a rude gesture at us and slammed the door. It may be that only the protagonists know the plot.

Please add your signature to support Sen. Duckworth and all women who should not have to choose between their families and their careers.

“She will also be the first senator that U.S. Senate rules will punish for giving birth. If she takes any maternity leave, she will be barred from voting or sponsoring any legislation. And even if she doesn’t take leave, she’ll likely be forced to miss voting times because her nursing infant will be barred from the Senate floor. Really.“

Election day in the US is less than 2 months away.  If you are legally allowed to vote, start planning!  Make sure you are registered.  Look into whether you qualify for an absentee ballot, so you have more time to research the candidates and issues.  If you will need help turning in your ballot or getting to the polls, figure out what you need and who you can ask.

Even if you feel like none of the candidates are good, vote for the person who will do the least harm.  (Hint: it’s not a Republican.)

The system is rigged. The advantages for the wealthy are immediate and endless.

Ace cupcakes!

this took forever, but I think it’s worth it

for all of my ace folks out there <3

I’ve heard about several apps designed to help people who are depressed, considering self harm, anxious, etc.  Unfortunately, I can’t track down any of the names right now.  If you have recommendations, please spread the word!

Listen up. There is literally an app that can help you avoid self harm and I don’t know why we aren’t talking about it.

Calm Harm can be tailored to your needs and will provide strategies to help you get past those crucial moments of wanting to harm.

It’s also totally FREE.

once again, it’s called CALM HARM

So cute!

Transparent Jellyfish Pride! 

You can buy these as shirts or stickers without the watermark on my Redbubble! 

EDIT: I forgot to add the Pan Jellyfish!! It’s added ;v;)b

I kindof want some of these as pins.  Seriously, if the only part of “homosexual,” “bisexual,” “asexual,” “pansexual,’ etc. that you hear is “-sexual,” the problem is with you, not me.

this has probably been done already but oh well

because tumblr has been marking things as sensitive, feel free to use these or w/e

It's National Poetry Month!  I usually celebrate by posting a poem for each day on the door to my office at work.  However, we're closed until at least April 30, so that's not happening this year.  Instead, I'm going to share links to the poems with all of you!  I have something lined up for every day in April; I just have to keep after myself to actually post on a regular basis.

Here's the poem I start with every year: Shel Silverstein's Invitation.  You can hear it read by the author on YouTube, too!

Canada geese are weird.  On the one hand, they’ll stand up to huge, scary animals.  On the other hand, I’ve seen a whole flock take off when a single small dog runs at them.

This is the Goose of Outrageous Self Assuredness.  Take from her example, her ludicrous and excellent poise in the face of bullying, and be confident in your place, your course, your equal validity.
