i’m still losing it over the fucking narrative choice trying to make a rich asshole who WANTS TO TURN PUPPIES INTO A FUCKING FUR COAT sympathetic by, uh

[spins roulette wheel] having her be raised by a kindly mother who dies to [picks papers out of a hat] a pack of dalmatians running her off a cliff [throws darts at a board] and those dalmatians actually being trained ones that i guess, assassinated her fucking mother through aforementioned cliff-running and [squints at hand] are owned by a rich fashion mogul that scrappy victorian orphan cruella initially admires and wants to be like, but swears revenge on her when she finds out about her role in her mother’s death?

I don’t want to believe you but I can’t bring myself to disbelieve this.

More than anything I DESPERATELY wish I could tell you I was joking about literally any of it

[ID:

Person appears holding a bundle of furs.

“Hi! My name’s Siqiñiq, I am Iñuipaq from Alaska, Iñuit, and I want to show you my furs!”

They shift the furs in their arms, holding up a white with blue undertone fur.

“This is blue fox, I’m going to use this on my girl’s parka’s (atigi)”

They hold up a white and brown colored fur.

“This is lamb, which in the city many of us use as liners.”

They next switch to a caramel colored outfit.

“This is sikshrik, squirrel. This is what you would use as a liner traditionally. It’s much softer, so pretty.”

The next fur is a white-grey color.

“This is silver fox, my favorite.”

The Tiktoker holds up the finale fur.

“And my wolf!”

They wrap the wolf fur around their head.

“Okay, yesterday Biden signed support in one of the largest fossil fuel projects in North America right next to my village where my mom lives right now-“

White text that says “Willow Master Project” shows up. They put the fur down and bend closer to the camera.

“-a dynamite mine less then 10 miles away would be installed over 300 miles of pipeline. This completely goes against the Paris climate agreement.

You can take action now.

[rivetgoth]

I hate to talk about something so extremely severe but I just need to say it. I know the whole “why is nobody talking about this” thing is annoying but I really am starting to feel like I’m going insane over the fact that Tennessee recently passed a law (PASSED IT, not suggested it, not considering it, it’s FINALIZED) stating that businesses have to put up a WARNING SIGN if they are supportive of transgender people. A public warning sign stating that they allow trans people to use their facilities. And I’ve seen almost basically mainstream acknowledgment of it at all, anywhere. Just other trans people expressing their fear and anger. Can we maybe acknowledge that for like, how deeply horrifying that actually is.

[thetroublesofbeingtrans]

Something really has to be done. Over this year we have seen a record amount of anti-LGBT laws passed since all of American history. Yes, all American history. What’s happening in Tennessee is horrifying, and the anti-trans homelessness bill was horrifying, and the Florida trans student-athlete bill is horrifying, and it is integral that we keep track of these things because it does not look like these politicians plan on stopping any time soon. The pandemic has given Republican lawmakers a distraction from the human rights violations they’re committing and they’re running full-force with it.

ESPECIALLY if you’re cis, you should be sharing this stuff. It’s no surprise that more than half of surveyed trans youth have contemplated suicide in the last year, partially due to the targeted policies against trans people.

I know you’re all tired of hearing this but WRITE TO YOUR LAW MAKERS. PLAN PROTESTS. It doesn’t have to be huge, guys. A group of 3-5 people with signs is enough to make an impact. Things aren’t going to get better until we actually go out there and show that there is pushback.

[bunjywunjy]

so I love opossums. not unjustifiably, but to a near creepy point where I pickpocket their corpses to check for orphaned babies. aside from their love for ticks, lots of teeth, marsupial north american-ness, and distaste for rabies. can you give me more justification to love those prehensile little road rodents?

sure can: opossums are immune to viper venom!

(the snake, not the car)

and this is kind of a big deal, because the viper family is HUGE and contains a lot of really dangerous snakes, including standout fan favorites like rattlesnakes and adders!

normally a bite from one of these babies contains enough hemorrhagic venom to liquify the blood cells and internal organs of a small mammal victim, making them swell up all gross and become very extremely dead, but not opossums!

a special protein in opossum blood destroys the snake venom before it can do any real damage, letting the opossum tank any number of snakebites and go full Kung Fu Fury on the snake's metaphorical ass, getting in some decidedly more fatal bites of their own!

MY MY, HOW THE TURN TABLES

naturally, this means that every dadbod trash gremlin opossum you've ever reluctantly fished out of a dumpster has probably killed and eaten any number of venomous snakes that could have given you a real bad time if you'd tried to take them on with your pathetic human mitts yourself for whatever reason!

tldr: SUCK IT, RIKKI TIKKI TAVI. THIS POSSUM IS AWESOME.

now, if only they could extend their immunity to car tires....

[astraldemise]

do you think the process of metamorphosis hurts ? does the transforming creature inside the pupa understand whats happening to it ? do you think theyre scared ? do you think theyre afraid ?

this is so metal and most would call this poetry but reasonably i know from being on this hellsite long enough that you’re just gay and really into bugs

Y’all I’m doing research for a friend and I found an incredible open resource of trans history - scanned primary sources!! - and you can find it at the Digital Transgender Archive

It seems to be mostly USA-focused but their about page says “We collect materials from anywhere in the world with a focus on materials created before the year 2000.”

I’m so excited to explore this, I think I’ll find lots of relevant stuff!

[klinger4yossarian-deactivated20]

As a trans person who is an archivist I am both excited you found this on your own and curious about how difficult it might have been to do so. Was it linked by someone else, or did you find it with a regular old google search, or did you get to it some other way? Since the DTA is actively collecting, folks with stuff that documents their communities or their own lives might consider getting in touch. I’m not sure exactly how they set it up, but they operate on what’s called a post-custodial model so instead of everyone being expected to donate the originals to their institution (not inherently bad but something members of many marginalized groups may not want to do for various good reasons) an institution does the scanning or assists a community in creating scans and creating metadata, preserves digital masters, and uploads copies to the internet. I expect they can handle born-digital material (digital photos and video, emails, stuff like that) so it’s worth at least asking if you have a lot of digital stuff. I’m not affiliated with them and have never worked with them so I’m not sure my info is exactly correct and couldn’t say much more. But I strongly encourage anyone with any questions - as a researcher, as a potential donor, as someone who wants to understand more about what they do - to get in touch with them directly. I expect the DTA staff would be more than happy to answer questions. Also, there’s a section on this page about stuff outside the US, if you scroll down, and it also helps give a sense of some of the strengths of their collection and gives folks an idea of things to look at: https://www.digitaltransgenderarchive.net/learn/guide

[suzirya]

Thank you so so much for all of these wonderful additions!

I found it partly through Google (looking for information about Lou Sullivan specifically) and partly through the GLBT Historical Society page on Lou. And I was looking up that because of research I was doing on trans history broadly (from an ebook I had access to through my workplace) but it’s personal research.

I think this is an incredible resource - it was a combination of my search terms in a search engine + specifically hoping to find a copy of one of Lou’s publications scanned somewhere!

The “active collection” part is particularly exciting to me.

[lipstickleatherdyke]

automatic sliding doors are so butch. i am charmed and romanced by the experience of them every time. it just senses my presence and opens up..... like wow i am really being taken care of rn 😳

[lipstickleatherdyke]

automatic sliding doors see me in the grocery store with my silly little femme outfit on and say do you need any help with those groceries princess 💪😉

[lipstickleatherdyke]

femmes are getting it where we can in these trying times

[bird-goddess]

actually automatic doors are cringe because i cant open them for femmes. every time the machine takes this from me i want to bullcharge it. but alas, it would simply open, owning me severely...

[lipstickleatherdyke]

okay see this is the dialogue we SHOULD be having. fucked up, robots r stealing jobs from hardworking lesbians everywhere ...... it’s so sad, “like” if you agree

[what-even-is-thiss]

You ever think about how they made the minions immortal so that they wouldn’t have to explain how they reproduce

[forever-lynx]

?? they made the minions immortal???

[what-even-is-thiss]

Yeah it’s like the same 200 minions forever

[what-even-is-thiss]

They also trapped them in the Arctic for a long time so they wouldn’t have to show them working for hitler because canonically they’re evil and serve the most evil master around and they’re clearly ok with serving dictators because they were depicted helping Napoleon so the solution to keep hitler out of the story was just to trap the yellow blobs on an iceberg.

[what-even-is-thiss]

So these things have been alive since the dinosaurs and are basically minor spirits or gods that exist to serve the side of evil and during that whole time they remained grossly incompetent.

Does the universe in despicable me want evil to fail or win? Or are these stupid yellow sexless idiots meant to keep a balance of some kind? Because they do not seem to have a niche in any ecosystem that I know of so their origin must be divine somehow.

[dame-a-dozen-deactivated2023061]

since the minions are technically the last of their kind (since they seem to not be able to reproduce) does this mean that they are a protected species?

[what-even-is-thiss]

See, I don’t think that they’re a species. I think that they’re something else. Because everything else in that universe seems to follow ordinary rules of evolution but the same however many hundred minions keep changing their appearance and not dying. I think that the minions were intelligently designed.

[sammy-genderspikeidiot]

Roman, my guy, are you really saying that minions are evidence of a god in despicable me lore?

[what-even-is-thiss]

Not god per se but… something.

[jackest-jack]

Evil vs good. Evil made minions, good made them stupid yellow blobs

[what-even-is-thiss]

So are you positing that maybe they came to be because of some primordial yin/yang type battle between energies in the ocean or something?

[crap-copper]

But they have to reproduce somehow, there are way more minions in the Despicable Me movies than the Minions movie

[themadrebel]

One of my favorite gem stories is about this ruby. It’s called Ruby Kusturd. It’s 30, 090 carats and was artistically rendered by Mark Mothersbaugh, who found it through a gemologist friend.

“The two discussed how the types of people who usually buy these absurdly large gems have often acquired their money by rather sinister means—they are members of drug cartels, Russian oil executives, mobsters. Mothersbaugh decided that he’d like to carve the ruby. Specifically, he’d like to carve the ruby into the shape of a turd… “So whoever owns the world’s largest ruby, [has] to buy a turd to get it.” To disguise the turd as a scoop of ice cream, Mothersbaugh placed the ruby into a beautiful, highly polished bronze cone.”

I cannot tell you how much this pleases me as a jeweler, having seen who buys the big rocks I’ve had to work on.

[secondbeatsongs]

wait, Mark Mothersbaugh from Devo? the same Mark Mothersbaugh that did the Sims 2 soundtrack? that guy?

[secondbeatsongs]

I read the linked article and wow, it is the same Mark Mothersbaugh! y’know, this guy:

learn something new every day, I guess

[do-you-have-a-flag]

Mark Mothersbaugh also scored a bunch of movie soundtracks you’ve almost definitely heard in the last several years (not to mention the theme song to Rugrats)

Mark Mothersbaugh is basically a performance artist who accidentally got popular https://greyartgallery.nyu.edu/exhibition/mark-mothersbaugh-myopia/

Also

1. I usually get sick like 2-3 times a year. 2020? None.

2. Allergies exist. Allergies with a mask on are much easier

3. Men can be gross and if a someone wants to not deal with some douchebag telling them to "smile, honey" by wearing a mask, then more power to them

4. Face tracking software is a thing and it's creepy af and face masks make it harder to track your face.

5. It's a fashion thing. Wearing a mask that matches your outfit? Pristine.
