    HOLY SHIT YES PLEASE

    DO YOH EV EN HA VE TO ASK

    WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT. JUST MAKE IT HAPPEN

    Why is this even being asked? Is there an option that isn’t “DEARGODYESOMG”?

    i fear time travel shenanigans, but i don’t fear them enough to overcome my deep desire to see this teamup

    what if no time travel shenanigans. what if it’s little old i’m not dead yet you sanctimonious fucks peggy carter who would like to die with her boots on, and natasha is actual the only agent in the world who can actually keep up with her when she sneaks out of the hospital, steals a few wallets, digs up a few old shield weapons caches, and toodles cheerfully off to europe to go out in a blaze of nazi-hunting glory like she wanted to before her damn grandkids came over all fussy and took her guns away. 

    natasha romanoff has been trained as a remorseless and deadly superspy since she was a baby and she is so, so, so glad that she was never assigned to keep up with agent carter before the two hip surgeries, a knee replacement, and a case of alzheimer’s took a bit of her edge off. 

    natasha calls steve every night and bitches about what deranged death-defying shit the ancient hellbat has managed to live through today and steve just giggles at her over the phone. 

    ‘put peggy on,’ he says.

    ‘i will not, the two of you just encourage each other.’

    ‘is that steve?’ peggy wants to know.

    ‘NO.’

    ‘put steve on the phone, i want to sext him.’

    NO.”

    ‘natasha give peggy the phone.’

    #battle granny#at one point she drags a large and terrified blonde personal trainer into a mob shoot-out#it’s not a good time for anyone#rogers you are being a shit backup today what is your problem#“MY NAME IS BRAD AND I WANT TO GO HOME

    i feel vaguely guilty for how much i want this to happen

  • The Never Call: There are some people who love to text so much that the phone part of their cell phone has become completely obsolete. They’re like Tobias Funke the never-nude from Arrested Development, except instead of refusing to take off the last bit of clothing for a completely irrational reason, they are scared of a wonderful and time-honored mode of communication.

    oh that is me. to a tee.

    I am one of those people. But let me explain something to you. The telephone was an aberation in human development. It was a 70 year or so period where for some reason humans decided it was socially acceptable to ring a loud bell in someone else’s life and they were expected to come running, like dogs. This was the equivalent of thinking it was okay to walk into someone’s living room and start shouting.

    it was never okay. It’s less okay now. Telephone calls are rude. They are interruptive. Technology has solved this brief aberration in human behavior. We have a thing now called THE TEXT MESSAGE. It is magical, non-intrusive, optional, and, just like human speech originally was meant to be, is turn based and two way. You talk. I talk next. Then you talk. And we do it when it’s convenient for both of us.

    post-scarcity part 11: vinyl revenue reaches 20% of CDs | Crime and the Blog of Evil

    solarbird:

    Wherein I continue to be bemused by the revival of the vinyl LP, and suggest that it may be in part due to something the RIAA did not manage to destroy.

    I suspect it’s in part about ownership, and in part the whole experience of listening to vinyl. Music has become so much background noise. We have it on in the car, on the train, while we’re walking, it’s on in shops…

    …listening to an vinyl album is an physical experience. It’s getting the record out from the sleeve, placing it on the turntable, putting the needle on the the record… it makes you take part – and once it’s playing you’re required to pay more attention to it (at least, with my deck) because you at the very least need to lift that stylus off at the end of the side.

    The most awesome moment, toy version:

    Not only was Black Widow left out of the toy sets available in big box toy stores, she was also replaced in toys that replicate scenes from the movie.

    Can’t wait for the Captain Marvel movie – we’ll probably get Captain America toys.

    Keep on ignoring 50 % of the population Marvel/Disney/Hasbro.

    Still putting the bro in Hasbro.

    hey, for science, could you guys reblog this and put in the tags

    • where you live
    •  the language you speak most often
    • what you call a tiny, overpriced grocery store on a street corner where you go when you just need a carton of milk or a candy bar or something

  • Uneven is the name of the game

    I’m sure there are people in the world who are much more evenly effective in their activities. I, on the other hand, flick wildly from days where I achieve nothing (other than perhaps binge watching multiple episodes of Parks and Rec, or manage to up my dinking-on-the-internet-wasted-hours by some phenomenal amount) to days where I feel like I’ve made some pretty spiffy progress in things.

    Today, for example I’ve sanded down the heavily filled door frame that goes from our hall into our kitchen. It’s heavily filled because the door has clearly been repositioned from side to side and from hall-side to kitchen-side and back, leaving the wood with multiple dints. It’s also suffered from the fact that when the house was built they trimmed the edge off the frame to fit the built in cabinet:

    Untitled

    So I’ve had to reconstruct that edge… and also ‘blend’ it in to the new skirting (baseboards) in the kitchen.

    So anyhow, after fitting a new edge to it, and putting half a ton of filler on (then sanding off 3/8ths of a ton of filler) I finally, today, got it looking enough like a doorframe…

    IMG_20150512_152022

    That I could happily, finally, caulk around it then put a coat of paint on it.

    At the same time I’ve put the first coat of paint on the front door, which is looking much, much better than it did before it had a coat of paint on it. Slightly irritatingly, I thought I’d run out of caulk so went off and got a new tube of it, before discovering that actually I still have 2/3rds of a tube. But I’d also forgotten that the nozzle on the old tube was cracked, and was leaking, so actually it turned out to be pretty handy. And with bonus added handyness because I took the opportunity to grab both more manure:

    IMG_20150512_153619

    And more bark chip. Oh, and another clematis.

    IMG_20150512_153706

    (Yes, I do need to cut the ‘lawn’).

    The other clematis looked to be doing really well…and then the slugs got it. So I’ve hurled many slug pellets in the other one’s pot, and also put quite a few pellets in this one. I’d quite like to soften the corners of the garage, and make it look a bit more settled in there, which the clematis might do.

    I realise buying plants when we’re moving is foolish. But hey, what can I say, it looks pretty.

    Hey… are there any trans girls willing to talk to me about bottom surgery? I really want it soon… but I don’t know who to go to or what to expect… and like I’ve been doing some research… but it’s really intimidating and I feel like I’m get a lot of misinformation. I don’t know.

    If my trans followers could reblog this so it can maybe reach someone who would be willing to talk to me I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

    Any trans woman can ask me about bottom surgery. Mine was on the NHS in London, so doubly so if you want to know about that specifically.

    I’m happy to answer any questions I can, but my surgery was well over a decade ago – so YMMV with info I can provide :)
