Friendly reminder that Popeye is bigender, because their gender is "amphibious".

And when the official Popeye Twitter account was asked what Popeye's pronouns were, Popeye answered:

I ain't use pronouns on account o' all me nouns are amateurs!

Popeye is a non-binary icon, and that's a fact.

[tuttle-did-it]

Okay, lads.

Who knew Popeye was one of us and didn't bother to fucking tell me

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

"Most grandmothers are" FUCKING SAVAGE

[katzedecimal]

These are from E. C. Segar, too, the inventor of Popeye. Nor was it a one-off; it was referenced many, many times throughout the original run of the strip before Segar's death. E. C. Segar meant for Popeye to be canon non-binary.

Crowley Of The Day: happy pride month everyone! To start it off, I give you my (second) favourite look from this diva 🖤

[shutyourmoustache]

When my mother forgets a word, she is the queen of coming up with new words. Words that would take a third National Treasure movie to fully decipher. I was talking to her yesterday, and she said this: “You know the time for los jibbities is coming up. You must be so excited!” Oh, is it time for los jibbities already? I must have missed it on my calendar. Are we celebrating something? “Of course! We should all be celebrating, shouldn’t we?” OK, so los jibbities is a happy thing. It’s not like something is giving you the heebie-jeebies, which would have been my one and only guess. “Los heebie-jeebies? Now you’re making things up...and this is my show.” You’re right. The time for los jibbities is coming up. Is this a season? “Yes, the season for love. The season for pride.” OK, los jibbities. “Yeah, sound it out.” Los…jibbities. LGBTs! “Sí, mira cuz you’re gay!” “You couldn’t just say pride season? You couldn’t just… *laughs*

[party-gilmore]

HAPPY LOS JIBBITIES EVERYBODY!!!

The time for Los Jibbities has arrived!

Anyone else think the reason ds9 deeply resonates with Queer people is because, at its Heart, its about a third space created but a group of patriotic people fundamentally alienated from their own people. Like obviously garak and quark but consider how were told in the first episode that Kira has been sent there to get her "out of the way" of the civilian government, how the things shes needed to do to both survive and secure their freedom seem deeply uncomfortable to all the civilian leaders. Dax considering both Joran and her eagerness towards reassociation make her basically a non entity on Trill. Bashir takes a while but the augment reveal puts him firmly in this Category. Obriens difficulty with his ptsd and moving passed personal préjudices puts him at odds with a lot of federation ideals. Siskos deep trauma around the loss of his wife and inability to move pass this, makes him very inconvenient to a federation desperate to pass itself off as a Utopia. He then becomes more and more unacceptable as he leans further into his role as in emissary, with the federation seemingly very uncomfortable with this religious expression. Jesus, Worf begins his tenure by getting himself exiled from klingon space.

Like idk, I dont think its all that shocking a Bunch of Queer people most liked the show about having a complicated relationship with your culture and never being allowed to go home.

[katzedecimal]

That's what it was for us in the 1990s when DS9 first came out. We were in the thick of the AIDS epidemic, the community was reviled, propaganda was spoonfed through every media, and bisexual people were targeted and blamed for "passing the gay virus into the straight community"

And then DS9 hit the screens. And in the second episode, we saw a Cardassian man openly hit on the male doctor, who expressed mutual interest. Then Dax, currently female, openly kissed a former spouse, also currently female. At the time DS9 came out, I was sheltering two other young people who'd been kicked out of their homes by their families for the crime of not being straight. This was cool water on our burned souls. We ate this up, this was validation. And then the studio execs found out about Garak/Bashir and freaked out, tried to separate the two, and tried to "straighten" Garak out by giving him a girl. Surprise! - "omg!! Garak is BISEXUAL!!!!" When every other media was either pretending we didn't exist or outright propaganda against us, DS9 just validated the group that E V E R Y O N E hated. Plus what it did for the trans community, who were still deep in the closet during the 1990s, who were enthralled by the Trill and yearned for how easily Quark transitioned to Lumba and how nobody on station even batted an eye about it.

Yeah, we gathered around the TV every week to catch every episode. For some, it was how they got through life, week to week, episode to episode. Deep Space 9 was our third space, our tiny little oasis of acceptance, where we could see people like us who didn't have our problems, and we could imagine a world like that.

at some point in your life you are going to do or say something racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted. Your goal is not perfection, your goal is to be the kind of person that the people you've hurt feel safe being honest with when that happens.

[ingridverse]

at some point in my life I am going to do or say something racist, sexist, or otherwise bigoted. My goal is not perfection, my goal is to be the kind of person that the people I've hurt feels safe being honest with when that happens.

Because I'd rather be the person who learns and gets better than be the person who insists I have nothing to learn

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?

Caloplaca eugyra

When people describe xeric ecosystems and deserts are baren and colorless, I am just like . . . what? Have you seen the guys who live there? Does C. eugyra look baren and colorless to you? This crustose lichen has a yellow-orange, pruinose (covered in a pale, chalky mineral layer), areolate (tile-like) to nearly placcodioid (tile-like in the center with marginal elongated lobes) thallus. The marginal lobes are tightly appressed (attached to the substrate) and crowded, distinguishing characteristics that help to separate it from C. galactophylla. C. eugyra produces flat, rounded apothecia which have a thalline margin and red-orange disks. It grows on calcareous rock in dry, continental North America.

🔥 fanfic?

The single best way to try and improve your own fic writing prose wise is to spend a significant period of time reading everything except fanfiction. A lot of fanfic is written, obviously, by people who read a lot of fic themselves. Nothing wrong with that in itself, but frankly, it leads to a kind of... self-cannibalizing prose style you can start to spot pretty quickly. I can read a fic sometimes and guess before I go to their profile what popular dudeslash fandoms they loved in 2015, you know? And because it's a style with very limited stylistic inputs, so to speak, over the years the selection of what I'd call 'AO3 house styles' (and there are several!) have gotten more and more calcified. If everything you read sounds like One Thing, your own writing will get locked into very narrow habits. They probably won't serve you well in the long run because of that narrowness.

If you're cool with that, no issue, it's all for fun. But if your goal is to actively improve your writing, you have to spend like a month to six months reading Literally Everything Else so your brain remembers all the other ways to construct sentences and stories- and I really think it is helpful to do this while taking a full break from fanfic reading, speaking from personal exerience. This is not often well received advice because it is taken as 'fanfic is stupid and bad for you, read Real Books' and therefore reacted to defensively. But really it's the same advice any writer in any form or genre needs. (Many literary fiction authors would benefit from being told to read widely outside their own niches, lol.)

Proboscis Bat Rhynchonycteris naso

It is found from southern Mexico to Belize, Peru, Venezuela, Bolivia and Brazil, as well as in Trinidad. The bats are nocturnal, sleeping during the day in an unusual formation: most of them line up, one after another, on a branch or wooden beam, nose to tail, in a straight row.

In the photo, the two bats on the lower left are carrying young.
