a friend of mine told me about her friend i think from high school who was gay but not out, and he pretended for a while to have a girlfriend named Amanda who he would go see a lot, and they’d be all, come hang out with us and he’d be like sorry I’ve got a date with Amanda, and they were like when are we gonna meet this Amanda??? anyway he kept this up for like a year until he finally came out; and when his friends were like, “wait, what about Amanda?” he said, “IT’S A MAN, DUH.”
i have literally never admired anyone’s commitment to a joke more
This made me want to go out and buy some Rick Riordan books immediately. Hell, I might actually do that. Anybody have recommendations? @fandomsandfeminism what’s a good place to start for someone who has never read him before?
Easiest place to start is with Percy Jackson and the Olympians #1: The Lightning Thief. Fair warning though, the books start off kinda corny but get better as they go.
If you don’t want to work through the first 5 books (which is the first series), you could probably get away with reading wikipedia summaries and jumping right into Heroes of Olympus #1 The Lost Hero.
His Magnus Chase series is fantastic.
Probably my favorite. I suppose you could read it in isolation, but have the Percy Jackson background makes those times when we see Annabeth and Percy so much cooler.
ayn rand failing to understand that sesame street is for young children
god this is missing the best part JIM HENSON I think Ms. Rand and my character Oscar the Grouch would have a lot to talk about actually. I am laughing out loud at this idea.
AYN RAND Why would I want to talk to him. What has he achieved or trying to achieve.
JIM HENSON He has achieved what I think is the ultimate goal of your way of thinking.
lmao

I can’t believe I never knew that Jim Henson straight up murdered Ayn Rand.
Let us never forget the time that Ayn Rand asked what Oscar the Grouch “Has achieved or is trying to achieve”
