I was at a family reunion, and Quentin Tarantino showed up. I asked my dad why he was here and he told me that Tarantino was my uncle. Then I woke up crying.

[duwang-but-in-new-england]

Good old Uncle Feet would make me cry too

"ooh you hate cops but who are you gonna call when you get robbed?" uhhhhh your moms house? a great tragedy has befallen me and i need to have sex immediately

[kineticpenguin]

Every time someone’s like “who are you gonna call when you get robbed?”

1. Know how I know you’ve never been robbed?

2. I am going to call my insurance company and file a claim, the only usefulness a cop has at this point is generating a report number for said insurance company to refer to

3. Seriously all a cop’s gonna do after establishing that the robber/burglar/whoever isn’t there anymore is say “what do you want me to do about it?” and leave

[fandomsandfeminism]

Also:

Law enforcement took more stuff from people than burglars did last year

Federal asset forfeitures topped burglary losses for the first time in 2014.

So, ya know.

[hootenanie]

there's all kinds of people on the internet

[hootenanie]

actually it's just you and me on here

Does anyone else have a particular date or event that ‘started’ the pandemic for them? Even though that event clearly happened after everything ‘started’?

[sandersstudies]

Sitting down and cancelling our wedding reception, sometime in February though I’m not sure of the date.

Hey, just a heads up to everyone who follows my blog: if you see anybody with an orange and black square in their bio, they’re a transphobe.

Idiots on TikTok have been coming out in droves in support of some bullshit identity called “super straight” which basically means that they’re only attracted to cis people 🙄 They’re trying to wedge themselves into the LGBTQ+ community and their claim is that it’s phobic toward them to say that they’re transphobic… it’s just a gargantuan cishet headache.

So, to reiterate: orange and black squares = the “super straight” flag = transphobic dogwhistle. Stay safe everyone!

[arcanecadenza-deactivated202209]

People have been pointing out additional things in the replies of this post and I’ll summarize them here because it’s important!

This isn’t something that only cishet people are doing, there are cis lesbians, cis gay men, and cis bi people who have been labelling themselves “super (insert sexual orientation)” and I’ve seen a couple of them on Tumblr already when I went digging in the tags for more information. Please, for your own safety and mental wellbeing, just block them immediately.

Although it is now rampant on TikTok and Twitter (I believe), “super straight” originated on 4chan and it is a gigantic Nazi dogwhistle in addition to being transphobic as fuck. Basically, the term can be abbreviated to “SS” which is also short for Schutzstaffel (a paramilitary organization under Hitler in Nazi Germany). The colours of the “super straight” flag are also the colours of a specific Nazi flag.

These people are extremely bad news. Please block them if you see them.

[vampiresuns]

I want to make an addition! 

If you’re reading this post, or about the subject another thing you can do aside from spreading, blocking, educating yourself and deconstructing biases, etc., etc., is donate to Trans people or Trans mutual aid funds if you’re able.

Examples like The Okra Project, the Trans Women of Colour Collective, the BlkTransFutures collective, Black and Pink, the FTEF, the Black Trans Travel Fund, the BFTA collective, the LGBTQ Freedom Fund,  or the Marsha P. Johnson Institute.

These are literally only some of the available options out there. There’s also different transition funds and donation lists around Tumblr that are organised by trans people (tpoc specially) to help each other and that you can donate, too.

Transphobia isn’t just TERFs outing themselves as Nazis once again, transphobia is also the unsustantiability of trans life by altering the conditions which would otherwise allow us to live — specially of trans people of colour.

Here is another post with many other alternatives.

This is also a time for standing with Jewish trans people, listening to them, and learning from them and standing by them. I, personally, don’t know specific coalitions or groups where you can donate or find other ways to support them. Of course, I’ll personally keep looking, but if you have some, make them circulate.

Fuck TERFs, fuck Nazis, block them and ridicule them but most importantly stand in solidarity with the groups which are the most affected by transphobia and Nazism.

Why are you fat?

cause everytime i fuck your dad he makes me a sandwich

[sillysayaka]

and every time we kiss i swear i could fly

[boethiah]

thank you for sending assassins after me btw i really needed that. it meant a lot to me

[argumate]

tumblr doesn’t even pretend to show me notifications any more, if you say something to me and I see it it’s purely because I stumbled upon it by chance in an enchanted grotto deep in the moonlit forest at midnight and will never find it again.

[evilsupplyco]

if you tag me in something and I don’t respond, I didn’t see it, I’m not ignoring you, I love attention

WRONG BLOG WRONG BLOG

[kirby-appreciation]

GUYS STOP REBLOGGIING THIS

[hellapainyo]

OP what’s the right blog?

[pinetreeanarchism]

Congress passed the "stimulus" bill, it includes a broad and vauge change to internet law that makes it now a FELONY to violate copyrights via piracy or other reduplication, such as memes.

https://www.tvtechnology.com/news/pirating-streaming-content-to-become-felony

Pirating Streamed Content to Become Felony

Bill to be included in omnibus part of the COVID-19 relief bill

Yes, this bill does go after people who pirate music and movies, but since basically all memes include *some* copyrighted content of *some* kind, and the bill is worded so broadly, and literally everyone on the internet is exposed to memes in some way or another, the government just gave itself the power to selectively throw whoever they want in federal prison at any given moment.

Oh but we got $600 of our own dollars given back to us so this is fine, right??!?!

[toastpotent-deactivated20250619]

hey just a quick shoutout to that anon i got a day before this bill went in saying "umm why are you freaking out about this it's not gonna pass lol stop fearmongering"

[tlirsgender]

I joke about being mean and evil but then people are Actually just genuinely shitty and I'm like. Doesn't it make you feel bad when you act like that

[bluelivesaintshit]

Just want everyone to know when I say 'evil' I really just mean "villainous and campy like a cartoon antagonist"

Incredible colorised footage from 1929 of construction workers on the Chrysler Building in New York.

[saurs4thtry]

I’m just impressed that it has audio

[theresistance2]

If you wanted solid, definitive proof that the past did, in fact, happen, here it is.

[thatorigamiguy-deactivated20220]

I’m surprised the structure was able to support the weight of every set of BRASS FUCKING BALLS on all of those construction workers. Pre-safety gear/OCEA was wilding man.

[that-catholic-shinobi]

The Chrysler Building had zero fatalities during construction. But the osha violations hurt my soul

[niktav]

i like how casually they all talk about falling like it’s an inconvenience rather than a deadly situation

[prismatic-bell]

Friendly note that if you listen, you can hear them refer to themselves as “local 60.”

These are union men.

[221cbakerstreet]

so construction workers back then just straight up dressed like they were going to the kentucky derby huh

[sjdsjkdlskdas-deactivated202012]

weird unprompted opinion but i think out of all the storytelling mediums…..theatre best portrays loneliness

[sjdsjkdlskdas-deactivated202012]

hamlet: [walks onto a movie screen] now i am alone

me: i guess

hamlet: [is left on an empty stage] now i am alone

me: fuck yeah you are

[practically-an-x-man]

agree. especially since with theatre the staging and set and lights all contribute too. A lone actor on an empty stage with lighting only on them is a lot more apparent than an actor in a movie in an empty room with dark lighting. 3D all you want, you lose some of the depth you get with theatre.

[sigridkaffen]

There’s nothing like theatre to be able to make an audience truly uncomfortable, too. Like, watching someone act out having a breakdown on stage? Fucking mortifying. You cannot replicate the squirminess that live theatre induces.

[kryptonians]

I’d want to talk to Sam Smorkle too

YOUR HEALTH IS NOT A REFLECTION ON YOUR MORALITY

YOUR BODY IS NOT A REFLECTION ON YOUR MORALITY

YOUR WEIGHT IS NOT A REFLECTION ON YOUR MORALITY

[timidsketch]

This is important too

[corantus]

an important thing that i feel like a lot of people don’t know when getting commissions is that. when an artist asks for visual refs of an oc, it doesn’t have to be polished art or anything it can literally be something like this

[salamencerobot]

wait really?

[grifalinas]

Yep! Even if it’s just a quick concept doodle, anything that communicates what you’re after is helpful. We can work with you to get the details right once we have a mockup going, but anything you can do to give us a starting point is a big help.
