This place has only three exits, sir.

Salvador Dali once lamented that when you go to a restaurant and order a nice piece of fish the waiter never brings you a flaming phone book. This blog is a celebration of people who make the world a more Dali-friendly place.

hey uhhhh @taylorswift not to question you but you do know there’s a leaked concept that you and katy dress as fries and a burger and kiss. you do know that’s dumb, right? please tell me you know it’s dumb

[shutoffthelights]

also this isn’t me making jokes or anything. if there is indeed a scene like that, you need to cut it right now before it airs because it’s genuinely a really bad idea. seriously.

[shutoffthelights]

in case y’all are confused as to where i got this information!

[taylorswift]

Guys. That is ABSOLUTELY false. To be an ally is to understand the difference between advocating and baiting. Anyone trying to twist this positivity into something it isn’t needs to calm down. It costs zero dollars to not step on our gowns. 💗✌️

[flamingphonebooks]

Ally should not be used a noun, but as a verb.  You ally yourself with people…without action it’s meaningless.  Taylor herself is taking action, publicly supporting equality legislation, giving money…that’s allyship.  Remember, people, you can’t just call yourself an ally…you have to get out there and do something.

[flamingphonebooks]

And remember, you do not have to have a T. Swift income to take action!  You can vote...in fact, it’s vital that you reject anti-LGTBQ politicians.  You can form a GSA at your school.  You can take your college Safe Space course.  You can march, demonstrate, and question authority.  Or you can simply provide a sympathetic listening ear to an LGBTQ peer...be a safe person for them to come out to and to confide in.  To younger LGBTQ people in particular having that one friend who truly understands them can mean the world.  (Just remember that it is not your job to out anyone...let them determine who they come out to, as well as how and when they do it.)

Somehow I think Dali would approve of this.

If Earth had Saturn’s Rings

From an excellent post by Jason Davis

From Washington, D.C., the rings would only fill a portion of the sky, but appear striking nonetheless. Here, we see them at sunrise.

From Guatemala, only 14 degrees above the equator, the rings would begin to stretch across the horizon. Their reflected light would make the moon much brighter.

From Earth’s equator, Saturn’s rings would be viewed edge-on, appearing as a thin, bright line bisecting the sky.

At the March and September equinoxes, the Sun would be positioned directly over the rings, casting a dramatic shadow at the equator.

At midnight at the Tropic of Capricorn, which sits at 23 degrees south latitude, the Earth casts a shadow over the middle of the rings, while the outer portions remain lit.
