ICH KOMME @carpblu - Tumblr Blog

This is a reminder for those who handmake Christmas presents that now is not too early to start. It may in fact be a good time to start if you have a lot to make/your craft takes a long time. You should maybe start it now, whether that's brainstorming or actually doing the crafts!

Translating this into tumblr's preferred public service announcement format for this kind of alert:

This sick bleach shirt I made. Something to showcase my undying love for prehistoric cave art.

Some of the bleach burned thru the shirt bc this was my first time bleaching anything ever, but it kinda adds to it.

Making a weighted velvet baikal seal plushie :3

Head and tail end are stuffed w ultra plush fiber fill and the bulk of the body is packed full of weighted pellets that have a nice crunchy sound when you squeeze it. Not weighed yet, but it feels between 1.5 - 2lbs?

RIP Marjane Satrapi, author of the amazing graphic novels Persepolis about living during the fundamentalist revolution in Iran in the 70’s and 80’s. She also created the animated movie based on the graphic novels, which is where these gifs come from.

Reblogging in honor of Marjane Satrapi, one of THE great graphic novelists. Her comic Persepolis was a crucial text for shaping my belief that comics can deeply explore identity, culture, politics, and history.

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. marsha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1986. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

#ive been studying quite a lot of German queer history recently #and it's fascinating how pride (called csd/ Christopher Street day) became a thing here in the 80s and replaced our own reference points #like way more important than stonewall for us was the change in 1969 to paragraph 175 #that had criminalized sexual acts between people defined as men by the state #also the movie nicht der homosexuelle ist pervers sondern die Situation in der er lebt #homolulu fest #I could go on #and in the 80s stonewall demonstrations start to pop up #maybe because it was a more unifying reference point than the more gay men oriented distinctly German ones?#also in turn act up took our rosa Winkel/ pink triangle symbol

ough not a fan At All of this new mobile feature where if you try to screenshot a post it just opens up the share menu with an option to save the post as an image. I wouldn't mind it if the automatically created image of the post looked the same as the screenshot I was trying to take, but the font size of the blog urls and note counts are significantly too large and they put a big ass [tumblr] logo in the corner that also cuts off a lot of some of the urls. I no longer have the option to take normal long screenshots of posts because the share menu immediately pops up and stops me being able to scroll down the post.

normal screenshot of a post I reblogged earlier, cropped a little weirdly because usually I like to take slightly long screenshots of posts so I can include everything from the top to bottom borders without the pencil icon hovering there but, well, I couldn't do that this time:
