fighting depression and going from when freddie mercury sang: “mama, ooh // I don't wanna die // I sometimes wish I'd never been born at all” to when em beihold sang: “do you ever get a little bit tired of life? // like you're not really happy, but you don't wanna die // like you're hanging by a thread, but you gotta survive // 'cause you gotta survive” to when ellen bass wrote: “to love life, to love it even // when you have no stomach for it” and when tumblr user rid.inkskinned wrote: “how wonderful to be alive. I am sorry for forgetting”

Nigerian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇬

I meant to have this out yesterday. Happy belated pride. :)

[sunflowersosa]

I'm glad you all like the Nigeria Pride post!

Originally, I went in worried the opposite would happen. Growing up, I've been taught that Nigeria, the country, is homophobic. (I was born in America.) But over time, I learned that there's tons of other queer Nigerians; some are out, and some are in the closet 😭.

I'm also not used to this much attention, lol

Thank you all!

being a kid and hearing adults say stuff like "woah 2011 was 4 years ago haha" didn't really convey the fucking horror of a youtube video crossing my recommended labelled "9 years ago" and it's from 2017. that's not true. 9 years ago is 2010 or something. don't lie.

The classic experiences of figuring out you're asexual include:

1) "There's something wrong with me."

2) "There's something wrong with everybody else."

3) "There's something wrong with me but thank God."

4) "Everybody experiences things differently." (There's something wrong with everybody else.)

educating yourself on dogwhistles of all kinds will have you feeling insane in settings where nobody questions anything they're parroting

I’m going to be so honest. I think in the pursuit of an individualized sexual liberation, the Overton window for misogyny has shifted violently towards normalizing bonkers levels of misogyny. Some of you have got to start being feminist killjoys again. I can’t carry this teamfight myself no matter how good I am at fragging liberal false feminists.

That’s Althea Crome’s work. You’ve seen her work before if you’ve ever seen the movie Coraline because she did the teeny tiny star sweater and gloves for the stop motion puppets to wear.

She does, however, work even smaller.

Holy crap that is so tiny!!!

I should be doing more to appreciate the lack of marvel movies in today's popular culture. I once yearned for marvel movies to have this level of irrelevance. They used to feel almost ozymandian, like an empire that had no beginning and no end. and now tony stark iron man is naught but two vast and trunkless legs of stone.

when i was at walgreens (at 3 in the morning which explains all of this) the cashier was talking to her coworker about how shed rather be a werewolf than a vampire because vampires are condemned to hell but werewolves arent and then she asked me what i thought and i said vampire because im already condemned to hell and she said in the nicest tone of voice “i dont think anybody is condemned to hell….” paused, stared at me for a few moments, and added on “…not even gay people”

Happy pride month to the filthiest most brutal read I’ve ever been given in my life

Interviews with hockey players are fantastic, because it is a complex game that can be spoken about at length, but during the intermission they'll find the Wettest player imaginable on the losing team and for thirty seconds they'll ask them things like "what do you need to do to get more pucks in the net?" And the player (panting, haunted behind the eyes) says something like "well, we've got to get them in there"
