I've invented a new system of government where before you pass any bill it has to be read by a philosopher, community leader, and a historian who are all entitled to reject the bill and/or beat the shit out of you for anything they feel is blatantly evil

[the-real-numbers-deactivated202]

I'd like to start implementing this in Florida

I'd throw in a scientist as well TBH

A philosopher, a community organizer, a historian, a scientist, and a politician walk into a bar.

The politician slides the rest of them several stacks of paper.

They all go out to the parking lot.

[coolcurrybooks-deactivated20230]

All of these books are queer, but they all have back blurbs that don’t say they’re queer. While this can be a pain if I’m scouting for queer SFF, it can come in handy for people in a situation where they don’t want to be reading queer books openly. 

Please do note that I don’t have hard copies of the books on hand so it’s possible that an author quote or something mentions one being queer (I feel like this isn’t super likely, but I don’t want to rule it out). Some might also have author biographies mentioning that the author is queer. Also, some may be shelved as LGBT on Goodreads or categorized as queer on Amazon. So if you’re planning on asking for any of these as holiday gifts, I would suggest going to the Amazon page or where ever your relative is likely to buy it from and double check that it’s something you’d be comfortable with sharing openly. 

I wish I had more pansexual books, but the ones I know of tend to mention queerness in the back description. 

With the exception of The Spy with the Red Balloon, these are all books I have read or are currently reading. If you want to recommend others, feel free to do so in the replies!

You can find my other queer book recommendations here.

Links to the queer books database (or Goodreads if the book hasn’t been added yet) are available below the cut. You can find information on content warnings there.

Fun fact: the cat is checking the baby’s mouth to see if it is still breathing. Were it not breathing, the cat would commence to eat it.

[iliveforthefantasy]

FUN FACT

[the-multiverse-deactivated20180]

Omfg

[cappucino-commie]

That’s just blatantly untrue. While cats have been known to eat human corpses, it’s generally only when they’re starving and have no other food source. Seriously, quit demonizing cats.

[arilookingglass]

Nose touches (as you see here) are a cats way of saying hello. It’s a friendly greeting. It’s NOT checking for breath.

Laying on a human (as you see here) is literally cat cuddling. Thats it.

We have literal records of cats going out of their way to save the lives of children from various dangers, from fires, to dog attacks, to choking to death. Its very easy to look up.

The only cases of cats eating their humans, have always been when their human died and it has been several days without the body being found. Amazingly this tends to line up with the cat not being fed and therefore STARVING.

It’s also a common thing among most pet animals too? Like sorry, your dog will do it too. Hell, ever heard of the the Donner Party? Humans aren’t exempt. When faced with survival, you try and survive.

STOP DEMONIZING CATS FOR BEING ANIMALS.

(And I mean, all it takes is a quick google search to figure this out, but no lets spread misinformation about innocent animals?)

If you actually truly believe cats are out to get you, and are cold and not affectionate, or whatever else people use to justify demonizing cats… You need to actually look up cat behavior. Your cat who ‘ignores’ you? More often than not is just respecting your space. Your cat who lashes out? Probably not feeling safe in their environment. Your cat brings you gross things? Trying to look after you.

Cats aren’t dogs. They have a set way of communication, and while they can learn dofferent expressions of affection, it will always be less evident than with dogs (who are particularily malleable to human behavior.) This doesn’t mean they are any less loving or capable of bonds.

All it takes is a quick google search to figure out why your cat does what they do. And literally, no cat intrinsically wants to eat babies.

[vrabia]

are you kidding me, cats are super protective of small children. they’ve been known to attack dogs, snakes, alligators and grown-ass men if they thought a child was in danger. a stray cat in russia saved an abandoned baby from hypothermia by cuddling him, alerted people to his presence and tried following the freaking ambulance that took him to the hospital. they are very sweet and patient with babies and there are tons of adorable videos out there to prove it.

[superbuzzwheeze-unsolved]

IF I EVER HEAR ANYONE TALKING SHIT ABOUT KITTIES I SWEAR

[libertarirynn-deactivated202006]

“cats are not dogs”

And there’s the rub. People have issues with cats because they’re mad they don’t act like dogs. They are a different animal and they relate and communicate differently. That doesn’t make them worse pets or evil or something.

[the-mighty-birdy-deactivated202]

Cats are good and pure creatures, dammit

[curiousobsession101]

Actually true fun fact! Cats who live with humans see those humans as colonymates! Cat colonies communally raise kittens. So if a cat’s human has a baby, the cat considers themself an automatic co-parent. So as far as that cat is concerned, that baby is its baby too. That cat is cuddling with and doting on its kitten.

[glitter-pear]

Oh my god, that last fact is so fucking cute

So cute!

I feel like if I went back in time and kissed Frank Sinatra he’d be fine with it. He wouldn’t initiate anything but if I did it he wouldn’t send his mob connections after me he’d just be like “huh.”

say what you want about this website but you sure can say frank sinatra would let you down gently if you tried to homosexually seduce him and 120 notes worth of people will be like “oh yeah no doubt”

Koalas ‘Functionally Extinct’ After Australia Bushfires Destroy 80% Of Their Habitat

As Australia experiences record-breaking drought and bushfires, koala populations have dwindled along with their habitat, leaving them “functionally extinct.”

Functional extinction is when a population becomes so limited that they no longer play a significant role in their ecosystem and the population becomes no longer viable. While some individuals could produce, the limited number of koalas makes the long-term viability of the species unlikely and highly susceptible to disease.

I mean.

I knew that Australia was on fire, but I didn’t take the next step in logic to realize that the species that lived in some of the trees of the continental brushfire would take such a severe hit from it.

At least some polar bears have wandered south and crossed with grizzlies as an alternative to starving and drowning in the increasingly iceless Arctic. Koalas have no such luck. Their survival needs are too specific. They’re done for.

[stump-wentz]

i find it interesting how quickly we forgot about the political and specifically anti-war the emo movement actually was. 50% of emo bands first albums are explicitly about 9/11. they go on to address military service, ptsd, school shootings...

like it really wasnt so much “im sad bc sad” as “you have soiled our childhoods with violence and we will not allow you to ignore or forget it”

[bookboi2023]

That they used their stage time to share messages of support and anti-violence, did their damndest to keep us alive, wrote songs about how much discrimination against people based on mental illness furthers the issue. Not to mention incredibly supportive of the LGBT+ community, especially for the time.

[roach-works]

it’s annoying to see people wondering why emo is back again when the american president is once again a smugly idiotic criminal, the rest of the world seems to be cheerfully dissolving into fascist regimes along with us, and the potential threat of nuclear apocalypse presents a spicy alternative to the guaranteed ruin of global warming, while all the guys in charge are doing about it is getting rich fast off our misery

it’s like i’m fourteen again except this time all my joints hurt. if gen z wants to tear shit up, have stupid hair, and listen to gerard way, i’m all for it.

One detail you could always expect to see in Queen albums was the “no synthesizers” thing but in Roger’s Fun in Space album you can find “157 synthesizers” in the notes

[rogermeddhoestaylor-deactivated]

Fun fact! - Queen put ‘no synthesisers’ on their albums not as a huge statement because they hated synthesisers but because people genuinely believed they were using synthesisers in their songs when it was actually just Roger doing some crazy shit with his voice, basically they said ‘no synthesisers’ as a flex on Roger’s vocals

[cariboucowboy-moved-deactivated]

Damn..Queen was really just like “no we don’t use synths, it’s just our drummer going fucking nuts as he always does”
