Ad Astra Per Iridis

@erotiamat

This blog is dedicated to all the positive, colorful, and queer or otherwise diverse materials that appeal to me. Ideally, they'll appeal to you, too. My main interests are Rocketman (and the Elton John catalog generally), Sailor Moon, George Clinton's projects, and progressive movements.

y'all will circlejerk yourself to the mysticisms of faeries and elves in european countries for centuries and take it as fact but the second native americans ask you to respect our spirituality and culture suddenly you're all aetheists

If you're registered to vote in Idaho, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mississippi, Missouri, Washington state, or North Dakota, today is the day you can vote in the Democratic primary elections. There is no wasting your vote in the Democratic primaries. Every vote counts because the number of votes for each candidate determines the number of delegates for each candidate. Please note that Michigan has same-day registration and an open primary (meaning you don't have to be a registered Democrat to vote in the Democratic primary, just a registered voter), Idaho also has same-day registration, anyone seventeen or older can vote in North Dakota (North Dakota has no official voter registration), and Missouri has an open primary as well.

now lets admire one of my favorite quotes about TRANSNESS

T

nonbinaryresource

[A drawing of a masculine-presenting person with short hair, a reddish shirt and blue jacket on. The image background is a pale pinkish-tan and is overwritten with a quote. "I never really related to the theory that being trans meant my body didn't match my brain. I feel like this is a handy narrative that puts all of the pressure and responsibility for change onto trans people and off of the rest of society... "My day-to-day struggles are not so much between me and my body. I am not trapped in the wrong body; I am trapped in a world that makes very little space for bodies like mine." by Ivan Coyote from Tomboy Survival Guide.]

THEY’RE SO CUTE AND GOOD AND SMART AND HAVE JOB

I’ll always reblog hero rats!

this same species is also trained to identify tuberculosis in samples by smell, meaning they can test for TB at a rapid rate with a high accuracy :)

The organization that trains the rats is APOPO

You can sponsor a rat and you will get adorable personalized emails telling you how well “your” rat is doing! I did this for my sister a few years ago and she’s still getting emails about Martok the HeroRat’s mine-clearing successes and called it the best gift ever.

What we say: im nonbinary

What yall hear: im a woman but like humor me on this

What y'all do: they/them pronouns when we're around (regardless of whether we actually use they/them pronouns), she/her when we're not

bookwyrmbran

and just for the record? real easy to tell when y’all do that -- because then you slip up anyways, and so do the people you talk to.

queequeg asked ishmael to marry him in the landlord’s marriage bed right after they both put the same vaguely phallic object (pipe) in their mouths and queequeg has “clasped [ishmael] around the waist” and their faces are centimeters apart

Unpopular opinion: Moby Dick is a very entertaining and enjoyable novel

#Moby Dick #classic literature #I initially read MOBY DICK just to prove I could #but it surprised me by engaging me all the way through #and when I was finished I sat there and twiddled my thumbs #because I didn't know if I'd ever have such a fulfilling literary experience again #that was nearly seven years ago and I still haven't

This is all @expartebollmanisirrelevant ‘s fault but uhhh yeah capitalism is the villain of Moby Dick and that’s the Hill I will die on

(ID: a galaxy brain meme where the smaller brain has “Ahab/moby dick is the villain,” the normal/medium brain has “fate/god/society is the villain” and the galaxy brain says “capitalism is the villain”)

#moby dick #galaxy brain #if moby-dick makes two points then one of them is that capitalism takes the beauty of the world away from you #the other is that the indisputably true salvation is sexual love

Hi my name is Elton Reginald John Dwight Lennon and I have short red hair (that’s not how I got my name) and bright blue eyes like limpid tears and huge prescription glasses and a lot of people tell me I look like Buddy Holly (AN: if u don’t know who he is get da hell out of here!). I’m not related to Little Richard but I wish I was because he’s a major fucking hottie. I’m a Londoner but my teeth are straight and white. I have pale white skin. I’m also a musician, and I go to a music school called the Royal Academy of Music in England where I’m in the seventh year (I’m seventeen). I’m a mod (in case you couldn’t tell) and I wear all sorts of crazy outfits. I love Harry Fenton and I buy all my clothes from there. For example today I was wearing a blue jacket with bright buttons and a black fluffy boa, red flares and huge yellow platform shoes and a pair of huge heart shaped glasses. I was walking outside the Academy. It was snowing and raining so there was no sun (duh, it's London), which I was very happy about. A lot of preps stared at me. I put up my middle finger at them.

“Cringe” culture is just a shitty construct by joyless assholes who get off on shaming ppl for having special interests that said assholes could give less than two shits about. That being said, fuck what they think and just do you for a change.

Write your silly Nintendo fanfics.

Draw your Sonic OCs.

Do Fortnite dances whenever you’re happy about something.

Show off your Minecraft creations.

Whatever makes you happy, do it and don’t give a single fuck what any No Fun Allowed ass douche has to say. It’s your life. Live it to the fullest however you want.

erotiamat

Wear your non-binary pride buttons.

#cringe culture is stupid #cringe culture is insidious #how different are they from the people they're mocking?

wsswatson

Why is it always ‘queer people are projecting their identities onto characters’ and never ‘straight people are presuming that their identity is the default’?

As someone that has grown up surrounded by beaches and done surf life saving, I know how the sea works. Lots of people dont. Every summer multiple tourists die here because they don’t respect the sea, if you’re going to the coast, here’s a thing I saw on Facebook.
