I just find this hilarious.

i went to a small private school in bumfuck, alabama, and we had a rite of passage. in 10th grade, every student took chemistry with Mr. Jenne, and every year, he showed his students a short video. the older students refused to tell the younger students what the video was, so by the time we got to chemistry, we were all super curious about it.

Mr. Jenne would go through the syllabus and explain how his class worked, then he'd drag out an old tv set and put an ancient vhs tape into an equally ancient vcr (i graduated in 2005; we knew what dvds were, but i don't think this was ever put on dvd). finally, he'd turn out the lights, and let us watch The Consequences of Our Choices, aka

The Pump

afterwards, when we were completely and utterly confused, he'd explain the metaphor. Mr. Jenne said he could always tell who had primed the pump by studying and who was going to die in the desert because they'd been cheating.

somewhere around December, when it was time for exams, he'd show it to us again. after that, he'd show it to us at random intervals -- if he needed to leave the room for a bit, if we finished the lesson early (ha!), or the next time we had exams in May. He also taught organic chemistry and physics, and you can bet your sweet ass i took both of those classes. i got to watch The Pump quite a few times.

Mr. Jenne passed away about a decade ago. He's still one of my all time favorite teachers because he taught us how to think, not what to think, and he didn't hold it against us when we thought something he didn't agree with (unless it was something provable, like science. he would've mercilessly mocked anti-maskers).

the older of my 2 little sisters starts 10th grade at my high school soon, so i did what any good sister would -- i made her watch The Pump. after i explained the metaphor and how much all of Mr. Jenne's students came to love the weird little video, she immediately started texting the link to her friends.

so, after a decade, i brought The Pump back to my school. I feel like I've reintroduced an endangered species to its native habitat.

(yeah, The Pump was originally about Christianity and Jesus and all that crap, and it was put out by the Mormons, but when i see this, i think science, not religion. but i tagged it religion, anyway, just in case)

the only thing these two have in common is the price they paid to win (open for a surprise for light mode users)

this keeps coming up, in all sorts of different discourse, so I finally gave up and made it a meme

heyyyyyyy I found a shyan fanfic where shane shares his clothes with Ryan b/c he likes the way he smells, they get together in the end. lost it and need help finding it again. any idea what it might be called?

wasted on you by cursingcursive (queenradi)

Summary: there’s a reason shane loves when ryan wears his clothes.

Rated: M

Commentary: I fell in love with this fic the second I read it. It’s such a thing, ins’t it? aksjfdjskdj. Possessiveness like this it’s such a good thing to read (for me), and I loved the way the author got to put this all together. Ryan’s realization, how well it fits both of them, it’s really good.

Can I have uhhh,,, drabble with heavy dirty talk and light sub/dom dynamic? Please??

Sorry it took so long! Here we go!
