When I first saw that post about a male model named Cykeem White yesterday all I could think when I saw him was how much he looked like a Greek God; Dionysus in particular.
So I drew him with grapes on him. Pretty self explanatory, really.
Reference came from this post: http://persisting.tumblr.com/post/44644838337/ok-internet-heres-an-interruption-in-your-daily
(The reference for the grapes just came from Wikipedia.)

I dragged invited my dad to see Iron Man 3 as a sort of lead-in to asking him if I could read his old comic books before he sells them. His answer was to glare at me until I got up from the table, and when I mumbled “I guess that’s a no, then…” he said ”I’ll have to see how much they’re worth.” Because apparently I can’t be trusted with things that are worth money. He has a copy of the the first issue of Iron Man, and he won’t let me look at it because he thinks I’ll ruin it.
Also, he called Thor’s hammer “the Mnollner”, so he’s basically dead to me at this point.
Whoever passed up the opportunity to call the Thor 2 movie “More Thor” really dropped the ball, imho.
Alternate title: Why the IPA is Superior
Ever since learning about the International Phonetic Alphabet and doing more research into linguistics, I have found myself favoring the IPA and coming to dislike the transcription of pronunciation used in English-language dictionaries.
The IPA is, in my…
<igh> is supposed to be [aɪ]?! Oh, for the love of…I thought it was the guttural sound in Scots loch. What’s worse is I saw that in a transcription of a non-English language, where it very well could have been [nɪx]. <nigh> was supposed to be [naɪ].
When I first learned about the IPA, I thought it confusing and too much effort. Now I’m glued to it. No ambiguities. If you know the IPA, you can pretty accurately say a word in any language on the first try.

wait you mean you don’t use the word ‘fortnight’ in america???
Wait what? Then what do they use?
they don’t have a word
what do you mean they don’t have a word what kind of uncivilised people are they??
the fuck is a fortnight
It’s a word for ‘two weeks’
PSA: We do, in fact, have the word ‘fortnight’ in America. It’s just considered slightly old-fashioned, so younger people don’t use it as much.

When Strangers Click, a 2011 documentary about online dating.
It reminds me of that famous Margaret Atwood quote: “Men are afraid that women will laugh at them. Women are afraid that men will kill them.” It also reminds me of something written by one of the mods of Sex Worker Problems: “Misandry irritates. Misogyny kills.”

A minute of silence for all the good books with bad movie adaptions.
A minute of silence for all the bad books that are getting movie adaptations.
A minute of silence for books with the movie adaptation on the front cover
A minute of silence for The Last Airbender
ten minutes of silence for The Last Airbender
Two hours of stunned horrified silence for The Last Airbender.
