happy pride month dykes i love you dykes

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.

June 1st is TOMORROW. It means that GAY PEOPLE will exist, but only for ONE MONTH. Do not forget to buy your tickets to see them NOW, or else you will have to wait AN ENTIRE YEAR to be able to meet them AGAIN.

the very tumblr specific feeling when there is someone with a completely unfamiliar url, icon and interest on your dash and you're not sure if a beloved mutual has fallen into a hyperfixation hole and changed their entire look and vibe on a whim or if you just accidentally clicked wrong on some post and followed a complete stranger

"why can't they just be friends?" not in the homophobic sense, but in the "in your need to center romance in everything you are missing the whole point of the media in question" sense

I don't know how I didn't know this but apparently Erik Satie never had anyone in his apartment for 27 years, like nobody at all, and when he died it was entered, 2 grand pianos were found on top of one another the top one for storage, and like a huge collection of over 100 umbrellas. I find this stuff weird when it's shown to other people, like "Hey look I stacked a piano on a piano!", but the fact that he never told a soul of this makes it so funny. He truly believed the double piano tower (or tower pianissimo if you will) was a good interior design choice. What a great man.

[casualclassical]

Erik Satie honestly sounds like a very strange lad. I've heard that he liked to eat white things to the point that he didn't eat anything else. I don't know much about him other than his Première Gymnopédie but I'm interested in learning more.

Numbat (Myrmecobius fasciatus), family Myrmecobiidae, order Dasyuromorphia, Western Australia

ENDANGERED.

Sometimes referred to as the "Marsupial Anteater", and like "true anteaters", they actually eat mainly termites.

Once wide spread across Australia, they are now only found in small colonies in Western Australia and NSW.

Could you personally navigate a cross-country road trip, door to door, without your electronics (phone/computer/tablet/etc)?

Yes

No

Voting ended onMay 29

[puppygirllaika]

every other note on this post is someone going "am i allowed to use paper maps?" yes. obviously. i did not say "without a map", i said without your electronics. And to the like, 20% of people saying "of course, i would simply take the train" that is definitionally not a road trip. i love trains too, but that is a rail trip. a road trip requires taking a trip on the road.

[puppygirllaika]

#a train can go on the road if you believe hard enough

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

[mutationgirl]

(having a good week) that’s right. the goal is to increase my baseline. make the spirals shallower until they spin lazily on the surface of the water, lose their suction. im not trying to fix it all at once, im trying to incrementally improve my way into something tolerable. and once im there maybe i can shoot for good

(having a bad week) and in my terrible forge i will temper the flames of ruin
