I wish people would stop saying “It’s July. Well done for wasting half a year.” Did you make someone smile in the past six months? Did you stroke a cat or throw a stick for a dog? Did you learn a new fact or teach someone a new joke? Did you laugh, cry, scream or sing in the past six months? Because if so, congratulations for not wasting your time at all.

I really needed this

[theradicalace]

I’m bringing this back for December to remind everyone.

You did not waste your year.

If you made it this far, that’s already not wasting your year.

You made it through the year, you laughed, you cried, you smiled, you saw the sun and felt the rain, and most importantly, you’re still here.

You did not waste your year.

You mad it this far, and I’m proud of you.

I got teary with this. Thank you

anyways the version of much ado about nothing starring catherine tate and david tennant as beatrice and benedick is a Classic. david tennant’s benedick is FULL chaotic dumbass, and catherine tate’s beatrice is past being full of rage and is completely done with everyone from the very beginning. plus, they just work off each other so well. 

not to mention the costumes and props. benedick in drag? BENEDICK IN JORTS AND A SUPERMAN SHIRT? beatrice wearing a suit? beatrice swaggering around with a beer in her hand, while benedick sips on pink, fruity cocktails? benedick writing his love song to beatrice on one of those stupid little electric keyboards? unparalleled artistry.

nothing makes me happier than this moment

[sonseulsoleil]

oh absolutely ICONIC. and the fact that he gives his whole monologue after whilst covered in paint. “love me? [beat, looks down at his paint covered self] why?” truly how shakespeare intended it 

I also love this. what a way to kick things off. 

[Image Descriptions: Three images of David Tennant as Benedick in Much Ado About Nothing. Two gifs of him wearing cut-off jean shorts and a superman shirt, smearing paint all over his chest and face. One still image of him sitting in a golf cart covered in union jacks with his feet up on the steering wheel, sort of hanging off the thing. He’s wearing a military uniform. This is Benedick’s entrance in the play. End description.]

I feel like you can often surmise more about someone’s political views thru how they treat people by default and whether they generally use interactions with others to be pleasant or snarky and exclusionary and basically a bully than anything they explicitly say but that’s just me

me hanging out with black people in the summer: “aye, yall don’t forget to put on sunscreen”

them: 

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

@flipflibberinflippinghell

Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.

[angelic-tokkii-deactivated20220]

Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.

[jamaicanblackcastoroil]

Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.

[lo-cotidiano]

“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”

Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.

[sensei-aishitemasu]

https://blackgirlsunscreen.com/ is Black-owned!

[laylamajandra]

I use this sunscreen from Walmart. It’s cheap, doesn’t leave a white cast, and smells pretty good.

[teaboot]

Duuuude my family uses that and it’s Soo nice it even smells good

[magicdragonkiddize-deactivated2]

Same for brown people, are skin may be dark but we do burn!

[tekka-dan]

I need to save this because I bought one that websites recommended saying they were for black people (black people posted the thread…but guess they weren’t reliable) and I used it on my face because holy hell do I burn there! not only did the shit leave me ashy / looking like I had dandruff, it washed off. So this really helps! I will try it.

Its the first day of Pride month and I want to remind my LGBT+ fam that Pride is often not accessible and excludes our disabled LGBT+ siblings ♿🏳️‍🌈⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ What if you were no longer allowed entry into your favorite gay bar, or safe space/shelter, or queer coffee shop, or queer concert, gallery, show?⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ These spaces are denied to disabled LGBT+ people all the time due to inaccessibility and ableism. ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ Whether it’s a step at the entrance, a staircase and no elevator, no sign language interpreters, no sensory-friendly spaces, no allergy-friendly food options, or a bouncer not allowing someone with a service dog inside because they ask for documentation that doesn’t exist (yes, really happened), this ignorance and discrimination is unacceptable.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ It starts with hiring us as organizers, it starts with integrating us into the spaces where we belonged all along. It takes the work to unlearn ableism and misconceptions about disability, it takes effort and care to make our spaces accessible. Pride is for all of us, not some of us.⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣ #AccessIsLove #MakePrideAccessible #TheFutureIsAccessible⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/ByK6KfsgqGC/?igshid=qqbzrr0c9u6g

corporation immediately after funding anti-trans lobbyists: lol support lgbt people with this great t-shirt look that sports our logo. happy pride month. say hey to the cops there for us.

[justsomeantifas]

corporation that has refused to let trans women use their bathrooms: our logo is rainbow for pride month to support our brothers and sisters out there that face discrimination for loving who they love.

[justsomeantifas]

corporation that has encouraged, and actively engaged in, wars in other countries to boost their profits: lets support our lgbt cops and soldiers this month!!!!

[justsomeantifas]

media that exist as propaganda to humanize perpetrators of state violence: see, class traitors can be gay too! we’re not so different! 1 love.

[justsomeantifas]

republicans 2 seconds after gutting LGBT rights in the usa: ha ha, help us stop discrimination against the lgbts in other countries uwu

[kittymudface]

It gets better—the guy is deaf, and he taught his cat the sign for “food.” So the cat’s not just saying “put that in my mouth,” it’s actually signing

[lutefiskcrowsandbeef]

Not only that, but if you notice at the beginning, the cat *gets the man’s attention* as any person who wanted to talk to a deaf/hoh individual would (well, and vice versa IME). I’ve done sign since I was 5, and generally, w/o eye contact initially, you wave a hand or lightly touch the arm (if that’s ok with the person you’re trying to converse with, of course).  Generally, adult cats meow mostly to humans, but this cat has figured out that’s not going to work and has adapted. Animal companions! They are INCREDIBLE.

Amazing.

UM EXCUSE ME THOS E ARE FUCKING PIXELS HOW

[street-trash]

Seize the Day was a calendar program made by in 1994 by Buena Vista software. It features graphics that at the time, were revolutionary because of the way they handled color cycling. These images were static bitmaps, but by changing color values, they appear animated. What is also impressive about these images is that they had full day night cycles built in, rendered also through color cycling. A few years ago, a html5 version was made. A copy was uncovered online and there is a way to use the program through DOSbox. As well, one of the original programmers for the project, Iam Gilman, has thought of the idea of remaking it, open sourced, for modern machines.

[xeppeli]

thanks for writing a more elaborate explanation. i’ve seen these pictures be spread like wildfire without mention of the technology behind it.
