Garden Variety Dykes: Lesbian Traditions in Gardening, 1994
OH it's a lesbian and her enormous sunflower
I thought she had her arm around the shoulders of her wife, who was dressed as a plant monster for some reason
I am so glad you clarified. I was like “I’m glad that woman supports her wife in making increasingly weird ghilli suits”
Many of us saw the picture, thought it was two women, one in a weird costume, and thought, "Hey, good for them."
Maybe the sunflower is also a lesbian. We don't know.
up next, the triangle.
we know what hole that goes in, right?
that's right, the square hole!
you would think, like, "oh, we've already thought of all the metaphorical ways we can say penis/vagina. we've already come up with the full list of nicknames. we have exhausted the list of innuendos. there is nothing else new to be said about this" and then you'll open a random explicit fic and make the most improbable linguistic discovery of all time
would you like to share with the class 🤔
saw the term "gummy walls" last night and had to sit alone with god for a minute
would you like to unshare with the class

ten people I’d like to know better game
thank you to @livingin-between for the tag!!<3
These are so fun but I rarely do them because I’m too shy to tag people, but here goes!
last song: Perfect 10 by The Beaches
currently watching: My Royal Nemesis
current obsession: dee roscioli and chess. The game not the musical even though I do enjoy it as well. Fun fact, I did have an obsession with The Deal (No Deal) from the Chess in Concert recording.
currently reading: the first thing that anyone needs to know about me is that I am never reading only one thing at once. I read across a lot of genres but I’m trying to challenge myself to read nonfiction. For paperbacks, I’m puttering through Stephen Sondheim: A Life, and Atomic Habits. For my digital books, they’re all currently fantasy or some easy reads. For my iBooks, I’m 63% through with Red City (Marie Lu) and on my Kindle I’m 52% through This Kingdom Will Not Kill Me (Ilona Andrews). Also yes I am reading fanfiction, Madhel and Sachston etc.
currently working on: a very slow moving MadHel oneshot where it was supposed to be published on Valentine’s Day but alas it’s June. I’ve also been planning a full AU around MadHel and some headcanons. Occasionally, some dialogue comes to me and I write it down The most recent snippet was from an AU where “what if Helen had her wedding on April 10th and Madeline was the wedding crasher?”
last google search: scam from alleged downstairs neighbour (for more context, there’s this thing going on in my city where a “downstairs neighbour” texts and complains about the noise at night and asks to send you a recording. I got one of those texts today, hence looking it up to make sure it was a scam.
tags: anyone who wants to do this!!
Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me. Listen to me.
I know there is a lot of discourse (tm) around this right now but listen to me
sometimes you do just have to lie to children.
If, when my toddler is, you know, toddling around saying “mama? Big ball?”
If I were lean down and say “unfortunately the big beach ball for some reason fills you with such an unadulterated rage that is beyond human comprehension that you scream until you pass out, so mama had to remove the beach ball from the premises until you can better regulate your emotions” she would simply stare at me like I had 3 heads full of equal betrayal.
So, for now, instead “big ball went night night!”
Please understand when I say “removed the ball from the premises” I mean I popped it in a fit of exhausted confusion. I murdered the beach ball.
See I’ve lied to you all too and it was better this way.
you can’t just leave this in the tags etc.
You can’t be funnier then me on my own posts, I’m in tears from laughter
“Your days are numbered” yeah it’s called a calendar you fucking idiot.
RIP to the legend
This goose fucking rocks and had a crazy life!
I really just have to summarize Thomas's entire life:
He was in a committed relationship with a male swan named Henry for 18-24 years before a female swan named Henrietta showed up and mated with Henry.
Thomas was initially jealous of the pair and attacked them, breaking 2 of the 5 eggs Henrietta had laid. However, once the remaining eggs hatched, Thomas warmed up to them and helped raise them.
Henry couldn't fly because of an injured wing, so Thomas taught the cygnets how to fly.
When they needed to reduce the goose population in the pond where Thomas and the swans lived, they dyed Thomas's feathers red so he wouldn't be separated from Henry.
Henry, Henrietta, and Thomas remained in their happy throuple for years and raised 68 cygnets before Henry died in 2009. After Henry's death, Henrietta found another swan and flew away, leaving Thomas alone.
Thomas finally met and mated with a female goose in 2011 and had his own babies. However, another goose named George stole them and raised them himself.
As Thomas grew elderly and blind, he was relocated to a wildlife center where he raised orphaned cygnets.
His caretaker at the center described him as "pretty high maintenance."
Thomas died in 2018 at the age of around 40. He had a funeral that included a small coffin and a procession that was led by a bagpiper. He was buried under the stone where Henry was buried, the two finally reunited in death.
Before and after his death, Thomas has been celebrated as an icon of the LGBTQ+ community for obvious reasons.

rb to relieve the back pain of the person u reblogged this from
Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who was murdered on the first day of Pride month as well as Indigenous History Month. He died protecting his trans husband. Homophobia and racism aren’t marks of the past, and this is a heart breaking reminder of that.
Praying for a safe journey back to the spirit world, Uncle ❤️🩹🦅
Today is the anniversary of the death of Jonathan Joss (King of the Hill, Parks and Rec). Jonathan Joss was an Indigenous, gay man who died protecting his transgender husband, on the first day of Pride month. Today we remember him and how he protected his family.
