Mods, make him busy during a friends planned trip so he misses out on the new inside joke.

Mods… change the smell of his parents house.

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!

emotional responses are deeply evolutionarily advantageous in any animals that are making complex decisions and behaviors (in many vertebrates, say) because they act as a reinforcer for a behavior. a bird taking a vigorous bath in a puddle is probably happy because if that behavior didnt elicit a positive feeling they wouldn't do it (it is dangerous to be on the ground and wet!). if an animal can feel fear, which i think is a less contested assertion to make, then it can certainly feel the opposite, that is, happy.

hey friends where is that picture of boromir with the gondor flag except its a pride flag?

[lesbiansforboromir]

Couldn’t find it so I made another because you’re right that it’s a crime and it’s definitely my duty to remedy it

could there be gnostic nuns

Given how Gnostic theology has a focus on visionary experiences, it would probably have more nuns, with more power in the church.

[bill-blake-fans-anonymous]

And they would be called gnuns

[lew-basnight]

Was it Hildegard that had all them visions? That's not exactly gnosis and she was a church stalwart, but i feel like she's potentially a jumping off point for gnuns

[cryptotheism]

Among others. Mechthilde of Magdeburg (for whom my cat is named) produced similar mystical vision literature. She was a mystic but not a gnostic. She would have been called a gnostic if she started making claims like "Jesus said I only need to cultivate knowledge of him to be saved."

The beguines (the lay-order Mechthilde was a part of) are a great place to start if we are imagining a theoretical alternate-history gnunnery.

I know this trophy is supposed to represent a triathlon, but it looks like a cyclist award for attacking pedestrians

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.

all i want for 2026 is that gigantic rancid AI bubble to finally burst in such a catastrophic way that the consequences will be so good and i'll never have to see another AI generated image ever again

crazy how every generative AI proponent has been mysteriously quiet about things like AI psychosis, observed cognitive atrophy through repeated generative AI use, use of generative AI chat programs to plan murder(s), and the exacerbation of suicidality via generative AI chat programs. like the best possible read of all this is that generative AI is an experimental technology that needs more guardrails and safeties before it should have been publicly available, and the worst is that it is a sham technology that has an increasing body count that silicon valley does not want to acknowledge because it will scare off investors (which it should).

"dangerous unverified new technology kills people" is not a new phenomenon by any means, but i can't think of a time when the causal relationship between it and suffering + death has been so clear-cut yet so widely denied. really makes you feel fucking insane.
