The mile-long rainbow flag being carried down First Avenue in New York City.

[arcaneasexual]

“For New York City Pride in 1994 (Stonewall 25), Baker created a mile-long rainbow flag that was carried down First Avenue in Manhattan. During the parade, Baker used scissors to cut segments from the flag to be rushed to Fifth Avenue for an impromptu protest march in front of St. Patrick’s Cathedral, the headquarters of New York City’s anti-gay Catholic archdiocese.

do you ever want to gently float up to someone and whisper “this isn’t a debate; i am actually educated on the subject and i’m telling you you’re wrong”

[shantronathon-deactivated201606]

Yes and I would also like to gently float in general.

[valerie-an]

this is the most positive addition that has ever been made on my post

i guess i just really like the concept of animals that are really huge and evil and old because nothing can kill them and they refuse to die

Why is it that every time I google something like "Are olives poisonous to cats" the top results are always like "Fun fact: Cats are carnivores! This means that they eat meat. There is no reason to include olives in a cat's diet. You should feed your cat cat food, which is dry or wet food especially designed for cats. You can purchase this at a store." like is there a single person alive on the planet who's googled "Are blueberry muffins safe for cats" because they're planning on switching their cat to a muffin-only diet??? No, I'm asking because the little bastard somehow popped open the packet while I was putting away the groceries and dragged one under the couch before I could react and now I need to know if I should call the after-hours vet. "Cats should not eat spaghetti." NO SHIT, SHERLOCK!!!! "Try to keep human food away from cats." i live in a studio apartment with a completely silent and permanently hungry apex predator who has the intelligence of a toddler and the desperate Machiavellian cunning of a creature who spent his formative months on the streets. He can already open doors and he is this 👌 close to learning how to open the microwave. He is stronger than me and covered in knives. So im gonna do my best but for the moment i just need you to tell me whether this yoghurt is going to kill my son y/n

I've been using the pet poison hotline's poison list cause it has a search function. It also tells you whether something is mildly, moderately, or severely toxic which can be very handy! It doesn't contain like everything but it might be a good place to start, it also includes plants for fellow houseplant lovers <3

[littlemousling]

For plants specifically, there’s also a wildly detailed set of posts and listings about toxicity on the old, wonderful, Plants Are the Strangest People blog

Instead of doomscrolling lately I have been reading my PDFs and it turns out if you do this you learn a whole bunch of stuff. I’m afraid I must recommend it

General tumblr reminder, since some people don't know: If the person's URL has "deactivated" plus a string of numbers (a date) after it, that means that they manually deleted their own blog. It doesn't mean they were banned. Banned blogs don't have "deactivated" after them and will just be the normal URL you can't click on or interact with. They look very similar and function the same, but they were caused by two very different things.

[hackfurs]

thats not true i dont think people would do that

So while I haven't seen the Backrooms movie yet, something I think is interesting is the focus on how Kane Parsons is a "Youtuber." And like, yeah, that's true, he does post videos on Youtube. But he's not the same category of Youtuber as, say, Markiplier. He wasn't posting let's plays or react content or even video essays. He was making weird little short films.

But if you put it that way--"young filmmaker makes a bunch of interesting short films then directs a feature-length movie"--it sounds a whole lot more, well... normal, right? Making short films is what young filmmakers do. And when they're good at it, starting to work on larger productions is a natural progression. So it's all about how a Youtuber made a big, successful movie that nobody saw coming, not about how a young person who was passionate about film made a bunch of films, practiced his craft, and is now directing major theatrical releases.

(Before anyone misinterprets this, this is by no means criticism of Parsons himself or of Backrooms, which again I haven't seen yet but I've heard it's pretty good. It's not an attempt to diminish the accomplishment, either. Quite the opposite, in fact. I'm saying he's a skilled filmmaker who studied and practiced his craft and has earned his success, not a Youtuber who suddenly made it big outside of the internet. And it is still notable that he's so young and that he got so good at this so quickly, and that his first feature film is such a success.)

Update: yeah that movie’s really good!

We need more scary infinite variants of manmade environments like the Infinite IKEA or the Backrooms.

May I suggest, The Lot:

[charlesoberonn]

I'm sorry to disappoint you but this is a real parking lot. I didn't edit it.

[charlesoberonn]

Check out the lot-to-building ratio in any large American sports stadium

[toawk]

Some lots are so big they have bus services specifially inside it. The lots are broken into sections and buses go around to their sections at a set amount of times before the start of something and drive people to the main building.

[charlesoberonn]

The societies of lost people inside The Lot would probably operate something like that to locate and pick up new arrivals and bring them over to one of the major settlements.

[charlesoberonn]

In the Infinite Ikea or Backrooms you can convince yourself there's gonna be a door round the next corner or behind that wall.

But despite it being completely open, there is no hope of escape from The Lot. Whereever you look it's just more cars from horizon to horizon.

[bonediggercharleston]

Sheesh, man, that's

a lot
