The Lusty Month Of May - Guenevere (Julie Andrews) and Chorus
It’s mad! It’s gay! A libelous display! Those dreary vows that everyone takes, everyone breaks. everyone makes divine mistakes the lusty month of May!
Because it’s the first day of the month of MAY!
I hope every health insurance exec dies from painful and preventable disease
it seems not everyone is as patient as I
getting murdered but it's so traumatic i repress the memory and only actually die years later during hypnotherapy
people have tagged this with like a million different pieces of media but the only comparison i respect is looney tunes
One of my previous bosses, the Archivist for the State of -redacted for privacy-, had one of these (or very very similar prototype format) that he kept in his briefcase.
Whenever someone in a meeting would say something along the lines of “we don’t need to worry about that/budget money for that/do that, everything is digital now!” He would pull this bad boy out of his briefcase and say “this has digital files on it, please access them. Oh, you can’t? Well what about this? or these?” And pull out a selection floppy discs and CD types.
And that is how he fought the good fight for a budget for the archives because digital preservation is expensive and difficult and there are a million different hardware and software types and technological obsolescence is a nightmare.
Crying because in 2006, 33% of Out magazine readers thought J2 should be in Brokeback Mountain 2.
Also Dakota Fanning.Â
really like the idea that brokeback 2 would have two new, separate gay cowboys on brokeback mountain, which implies either that the mountain is turning people gay or that it is drawing gay cowboys to it like a beacon

yeah, I'll take this if it means we lose the provisions about defunding hospitals that provide puberty blockers to trans kids, barring enforcement of federal anti-discrimination policies for trans people, banning legal challenges to state anti-LGBT laws, and over 40 more discriminatory riders that were defeated
also the ban literally just applies to flags flown on the embassy flagpole, and ANY flag besides the ones on a short list of government-related flags. pride EVENTS are still allowed, as are literally any other displays of the flag at an embassy- light projections, paint, indoor banners, flags on employees' personal desks...
#it steams me that this is the headline and not 'white house makes small concession; stops laws that would ACTUALLY HURT QUEER PEOPLE' #I'd rather have rights and no flag than a flag and no rights
i wish i could see this picture for the first time again
Every time I see some gamerbro edit of a female video game character to make her 'prettier', I always see something I have mentally dubbed Cockroach Wife Syndrome (in honor of the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha).
That is to say, there is a certain subset of gamerbro who interacts so rarely with real women, that his primary touchstone for how women look is fiction: often video games and anime. So when a video game woman looks too realistic--too close to having traits that one might find in real flesh and blood women--this is foreign to them. This is unattractive. They have been jacking it to hentai and blender animation porn for too many years, and have inadvertently conditioned themselves to only be sexually aroused by the exaggerated cartoonish traits of animated women.
So now every time I see one such edit, I can't help but think. My. What a coincidence you've made her look more like an anime waifu. Truly dedicated to your cockroach wife.
You can’t just breeze over something like “the guy who accidentally conditioned himself to only be aroused by a fantasy of his cockroach wife Ogtha” without at least linking a 20 minute video breakdown of this man’s descent into madness.
Oh is Ogtha not common knowledge? Eight years ago this was posted on reddit:
Two years ago, we got this update on the life of this roachfucker:
TLDR it's a guy who became obsessed with human-sized roaches with human intelligence after reading Kafka in high school, an obsession which eventually came to monopolize his romantic interests (and has sporadically had catastrophic impacts on his life ever since).
what the fuck happened to my post
Shh... We're reading about the cockroach wife tulpa
Being raised by areligious jews with 0 exposure to christianity outside pop culture is so fun. One time I asked my ex-catholic friend why a picture of jesus had a bristle crown and she looked at me like I was insane. One time I heard someone mention the "lance of longinus" and responded, word for word, "Like from Evangelion?" One time during a history lesson my professor described an important monk and scholar as "Dominican" and I spent the rest of class super confused and hung up on it because I was very sure that the Dominican Republic didn't meaningfully exist as an entity back then, maybe she meant he was a native Taino or something but that's a weird way to say that and I'm pretty sure this was pre- European contact? Really fucks people up when they realize I genuinely have no idea.
This but it's my partner taking an art history class in college and the professor looking at them like they grew a second head when they answered "What came out of Jesus' wound when he was stabbed on the cross" with "...Blood?"
Additions that prove my point by mystifying me because what on earth would come out of a nail wound besides blood. Are you telling me it was something besides blood. What was jesus full of that wasn't blood. You guys are scaring me
Apparently it was water?? I guess he was also stabbed on top of being crucified (which feels like overkill imo) and water came out, which was a huge deal in medieval symbolism and also to my medieval poetry professor, who was genuinely shocked and upset that I didn’t know. This man fully docked me points because I, a whole ass Jew, hadn’t somehow heard about the secret waterballoon Jesus lore that I guess everyone is supposed to like… intuit
On the plus side, it does lead to some absolutely wild medieval Jesus art of angels tapping him like a fucking keg
He was stabbed to ensure he was dead and if not dead to give him some mercy. Crucifixion is a very slow and painful death in which you usually drown in your own fluids as it builds up in your lungs from the pressure, after several torturous hours of pulling yourself up by where you're nailed down by your wrists to take a gasp of breath before slumping back down to rest. Sometimes if your executioners were nice they'd put a little ledge for your feet so you'd have more leverage to push up for breath. Jesus, famously, was nailed by both hands and feet so he had to use the nails inside of him as his leverage instead.
(Image of one of the Catholics that Japan hunted down and killed in the 1500s and 1600s- note he is not nailed but tied, has a little foot ledge, and definitely is pierced thru the ribcage by spears. Japan more or less went "hey your god was killed this way so what if we just do the same to you")
Also famously he stayed alive most of the day until he couldn't pull himself up anymore, which was the most common way crucifixion killed people. By the end of the day, the executioner usually made rounds and stabbed the victims thru the ribcage on their side. This would A: hurt a lot if you were still alive so they'd know if you were faking right away, B: kill you way faster if you weren't already dead but already most of the way there, and C: ensure that you were dead because it would pierce your lung and the fluid buildup would release, appearing to be "water" which would mark you as definitely dead. Some people suffered on their cross for several days before succumbing, so the spear at the end of the first day is seen as a mercy.
Once you were dead you were taken down, dressed, and buried, so it was very important to make sure no one escaped their grisly fate by feigning death early in the process and got taken down off their cross to pull a fast one on the Romans. I'm assuming someone tried it at some point, otherwise it seems like a really specific process to go through to Make Sure They're Dead. Possibly leftovers from when Babylon and Assyria were doing it prior to Rome.
(The Bible specifically mentions "blood and water" came out of the wound, which is more medically accurate for what it would look like. Also when you've been dead for a while the blood starts to separate and can give that blood and water appearance as well depending on where you've been stabbed after death, especially in cases of blood pooling from gravity and physical trauma, such as would happen when you're unnaturally held upright for several hours by iron nails thru your wrists and ankles attaching you to a large piece of wood)
(The angels are tapping him like a keg, I assume, due to the whole "my blood is wine my body is bread" thing for communion. Catholics get real literal in their art about this. Catholics also love talking about the wounds from crucifixion.)

Film noir style first person investigative sim with realistic lighting effects where if you stand in front of a strong light source and examine your own shadow it's clear that the player character has cat ears. No other character in the game has cat ears, and the player character evidently being a cat person is never remarked upon.
Yeah, they’re gonna lift the working class right into a company town.
Only rich people would think this was a good idea.
Learn your history, people!
We DID this shit- for DECADES. It was fucking awful. Companies paid people in “scrip” which was only good for use at the Company Store. So effectively, the company got your money coming and going, and they didn’t pay you at all. And the longer it went on, the less likely you were to have savings that could have helped you move away or get a different job.
I’ve already seen one ad trying very sneakily to promote the idea of “AmazonBucks”, including giving them to workers as rewards, or instead of things like healthcare, sick days, and PTO.
Here’s your reminder that scrip is fucking illegal, that company towns are always a shit idea that should stay dead and buried, and that if unions didn’t work? Every big company out there wouldn’t be fighting tooth and nail to destroy them.
#UnionStrong #SolidarityForever
We even have old songs about how this is a bad idea
You know how shitty it is that your health care insurance is directly tied to your job? Imagine if your housing worked the same way. Your husband or wife dies in a warehouse accident and you have 30 days to find a new place to live.
Here's an article about it from the new Yorker
The judge was a Reagan appointee lmao
1. The person who twerked in court was Richard Montez, co-owner of 360 Queen Entertainment (a business that organises drag performances).
2. The New Yorker article is a really good read.
3. I'm in love with this picture from said New Yorker article. Dude on the left is a Big Mood.
honestly good for him? he didn't know what he was supposed to be ruling on, so he asked for a demonstration, and the demonstration convinced him it was art. good on him for being willing to accept new data
You couldn’t write this, people would tell you it’s bad writing
“LOL. You think your vote matters? ROFL and LOL.” Yes, I am aware my vote carries less and less relative power the more people I’m voting with, but unlike your glorious violent revolution, it actually exists.
The Glorious Violent Revolution fantasy is the Rapture for leftists.
#you heard me#I'm not kidding either#the whole thing and attitude towards is is remarkably similar#you think we haven't noticed the almost lurid fascination and desire to watch the guillotine massacre away#in much the way that the “elect” would be sitting there watching the rest of us “sinners” burn in hellfire for a thousand years?#and how little thought is put into how you're going to pull off this revolution without causing a famine?#or “what next”#look I have no love for the status quo as it is#but I'm going to look askance at any plan that considers a global famine “acceptable collateral damage”#and whose default response to everyone who doesn't get in line with the program is Mister Guillotine#or really take into account that humans are quarrelsome as fuck#this isn't me defending the status quo#this is me saying grow the fuck up#you're not going to build a better world by murdering your way there and you can't purge humanity of it's bad habits with the headman's axe
You know what the real glorious revolution looks like? It looks like writers and actors on the picket lines every day, Starbucks and McDonalds and Wendy’s workers walking out of work until they get conditions that aren’t working inside of an oven, UPS workers fighting to get AC in their vans for increasingly hot summers and also driving around in ovens. It looks like kids walking out of schools and into congressional halls in support of their friends being increasingly silenced and threatened for their race, gender or sexuality. It looks like people getting arrested for handing out warm meals to the homeless. It looks like people risking their lives, homes, and jobs to prevent a forest being bulldozed so a fascism training ground for foot soldiers gets built. It looks like several thousand people fighting and getting imprisoned and murdered so their lands aren’t co-opted for one more goddamn oil pipeline. The “glorious revolution” is dozens of actions happening all around, right now, on dozens of fronts. Just because it isn’t violent is no reason not to pick a front and join in.
