my stupid fucking aunt loraine bought us an air friar for our wedding present 🤦♀️ the apartments barely big enough for the two of us now weve got this dumb asshole flying around preaching at us ... every time i get a migraine he tries to give me herbs and poultices 🙄
on the other hand this round of notifications has a lot more of people being correct about lydia bennet than i usually see so that’s vaguely heartening

GOOD OMENS | 2.02 THE CLUE
If you’re going to invoke fiction, you might as well do it properly.
[ID: two gifsets from Good Omens Season 2. In the first, the characters Crowley and Aziraphale sit across from each other in a pub discussing Jane Austen. In the second, Crowley sees and reacts to a set of Jane Austen’s novels in Aziraphale’s shop.
In the first gifset:
Aziraphale says, “You remember Jane Austen, don’t you?”
Crowley replies, “Yeah. I’m not gonna forget her in a hurry, am I? The brains behind the 1810 Clerknwell diamond robbery. Brandy smuggler. Master spy. What a piece of work.”
Aziraphale says, “She wrote books! Novels!”
Crowley screws up his face incredulously and says “Jane? Austen?”
Aziraphale says emphatically, “Yes!”
Crowley sits back and says, “Whoa. Bit of a dark horse. Novels, eh?”
Aziraphale says, “Yes. They were very good.”
Crowley says, “I’m just surprised, that’s all. You think you know someone.”
Aziraphale has a realization and announces, “She had balls.”
Crowley says, “Well…”
Aziraphale says, “Cottillion Balls.”
Crowley says offscreen, “Oh.”
In the second gifset, Crowley is in Aziraphale’s bookshelf and sees a vintage set of Jane Austen’s books on a shelf. He peers at them and takes one down to look at, saying thoughtfully, “Jane Austen. Wrote books too. You people, I will never get the hang of you lot.”

um . warning now that tumblr is allowing gif pfps . PLEASE dont use gifs with flashing or eyestraining colours <3 since the gifs Cannot be turned off it WILL negatively affect photosensitive people
Hey, uhm... @staff
Can we please get a working disable autoplay for these on all devices. Mobile AND DESKTOP?
It's disability pride month. Pretty please.
I’ve seen a lot of people in the tags and comments celebrating that gif profile pics are a thing. And while I acknowledge that it’s fun for a lot of people, celebrating on this post is missing the point of this post which is that Tumblr has added a feature that endangers photosensitive users as this new feature bypasses the disable autoplay function on mobile. If you’re going to use this new function please be careful with what gifs you use but also please be aware of how celebrating on this post specifically, which is warning about the dangers of this feature, can come across to people who are affected by this
hey sorry to tell you this but your boyfriend was on the stitch i just dropped. yeah he was several rows back and i didn’t even notice. yeah it was a cable knit so i think im just gonna have to frog it. i didn’t put a lifeline in. im so fucking sorry
Women Often Mistaken For Men In Public Restrooms
Marchers in Pride parade on Capitol Hill, Seattle, June 27, 1993
This photo of the 1993 Pride parade shows a group of women, some wearing t-shirts printed with “I’m not a BOY,” carrying a banner reading “Women often mistaken for men in public restrooms.”

When she was 90 percent asleep, she heard the door very quietly unlatch and close. Then she counted, and at the end of five counts there was Pyrrha at the door saying, “Ah, my darling hearts, my sleeping babes, Daddy’s own treasures,” and Camilla saying without opening her eyes, “Go to bed. I just got her to sleep.”
Nona fell asleep and was happy.
