I'm crying what a headline

[feminist-space]

The above is a video shared by smrchildsadness on Twitter, showing a person participating in a pride parade exchanging a pride flag with a person standing on his (am using his pronoun based on the TikToks/Tweets of what happened) doorway who had a Portuguese flag. There are sounds of cheers and crying and the two people hug each other as they exchange the flags. The man at the doorway then waved kisses to the crowd within the pride parade.

The Tweet says: "NO YOU DONT UNDERSTAND HE WAS WAVING THE PORTUGUESE FLAG BECAUSE HE DIDN'T HAVE A PRIDE FLAG AND THEY TRADED FLAGS AND HE'S SO EMOTIONAL TO GET HIS OWN PRIDE FLAG I'M EMOTIONALLY RUINED"

For context, apparently they were worried that maybe he's a nationalist because he was waving the Portuguese flag and some nationalists opposing the pride march were waving that flag. But upon interacting with him, it turns out he didn't have have a pride flag and he wanted to wave *a* flag in support of the pride march. So they had an exchange and now he has his own pride flag 😭🥹.

The image above is a Tweet by kunwara_ladkaa that says "I'm crying so much right now (Image taken by Manuel Fernando Araújo/Lusa)". The image shows the same man from the pride parade crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

The above image is a Tweet by dudz_zZzz that says "ainda não parei de pensar nele," which according to Google translate from Portuguese to English is "I still haven't stopped thinking about him." The image is a drawing of the person from the pride parade, crying as he hugs his new pride flag.

His name is António Fernandes, and you can find the original article where he spoke about this event here

This elderly gentleman lives alone in Porto, when he saw the march coming up his street all he knew was he wanted to participate, so he ran home to get the only flag he had to wave as they passed by, when they did he was overcome with emotion and called over one of the activists, they hugged and exchanged flags, he felt so overwhelmed that he could only hold it and cry.

This isn't a story about a closeted elderly man, António lives and has been living alone for many years now and that little moment made him feel included in something for the first time in many years.

Says the article:

"The act was "of support”, guarantees the man, especially because “each one is as they are and we are all the same”. “The joy I felt at this moment. I cried,” he recalled, still emotional when looking at the photograph offered to him during this report.

However, even though it reached thousands of people, the moment screams a feeling of belonging, of joy and also a portrait of loneliness as a consequence of aging.

Behind that door, whose image spread across the country, António is the portrait of a condition that affects many others like him.  He lives alone, but the walls of his home are full of memories of a life shared and full of love. “Memories I preserve,” he stresses.

He's not gay, nor does he need to be to support and respect the cause.

“We all have the same color blood. We are all the same.”

Still with an emotional look glued to the photograph that immortalized his gesture at the march, António remembers: “I felt embraced by all of them”. After a sigh, he says: “See this photo? I want to take it to my coffin.”

if I wrote a dystopian novel where the corrupt evil megacorporation that controls society has a fucking smirk for a logo, my editor would tell me to use a less heavy-handed metaphor

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

and yet

[twinkiefairy]

I love this because if I were to write a literary novel in the Western cannon that described the image of an apple with a chunk bitten off, any high school English student would tell you it is a Bible reference meant to represent the source of all evil and downfall of humanity and YET

Today I discovered that melting ice makes a sound— it cracks, pops, fizzes and hisses like demonic Rice Krispies. Apparently it has to do with pressurized air bubbles and fractures from expansion, but this leads to a question which National Geographic already answered for me:

Which is similarly heavy handed but also extremely freaking metal

do you have any headcanons about the librarians?

ooh, many! this isn't even close to all of them (and they range from being implied in canon to complete crack), but:

Jenkins wasn't consistently a caretaker. He's had the job since the fall of Camelot but there were centuries where he wandered off to do other things.

Since turning up in the 21st century, Vikram has developed the same music taste as your average 12 year old girl. This is also coincidentally Cassie's music taste.

Flynn has at least one teeny tiny papercut scratch from Excalibur which he bitches about constantly. After the Sword in the Stone it did heal, and then as soon as Cal woke up at the end of s2 he nicked Flynn's arm again. Cue more whining.

Cassie went through a bubblegum goth wild child phase when she was 16-17ish, after dropping out of school and going through the first set of cancer treatments. She lied on some legal documents to get a drivers licence and then felt so guilty that she never used it.

Occationally, when Flynn's bad habit of pacing around talking at 3am is getting on her nerves, Eve isn't above pointed utilisation of the Flutes of Pan.

Connor at one point wrote a paper contesting one of Jake's. He doesn't know this, though, because of Jake's academic pseudonyms - but Jake is sure as hell aware.

The Apple of Discord DID affect Ezekiel. It's not that he was already the worst version of himself, it's that that worst version is identical to the facade he presents and therefore the apple appeared to have no effect.

Lysa hasn't yet realised that regular physics proofs work to confirm that the laws of energy transfer apply to magic. As soon as she does, she's going to be very happy.

Jake's mother was called Rebecca. She died a very long time ago.

Eve got full marks on all her millitary intake exams, and made the jump to NATO more out of boredom than anything else.

Ezekiel never stopped using random library artifacts to do his household chores. He just got better at not getting caught, much to Jake's annoyance.

begging this site to watch The Librarians: The Next Chapter like. y'all it's got everything this site complains about missing from older TV. it's got charmingly mediocre 2000s-doctor-who-esque CGI magic every single episode. it's Villain (and/or MacGuffin Artifact) of the Week. one of these villains includes the Devil (a 12 year old girl wearing a headband of Party City-quality black horns). it's Found Family. it's Chosen Found Family. they literally "i am spartacus" each other into saving the day one time because They Are A Family And They Love Each Other So Much It Kills The Bad Guy. it's campy and low-stakes and Hijinks Abound. even with only twelve episodes (so far) they take the time to go "okay here's how THIS pair of main characters works together and here's how THAT pair works together" and so on and so forth for. basically every pair that makes up The Four Of Them. they regularly defeat villains with The Power Of Friendship and Family and Love. it's a reboot/spinoff/sequel series that actually keeps the vibe of where the original series left off. there's even a femslash ship. it's literally 12 eps of Everything People Want Back From 2000s TV and yet i go in the tag and there's about nine active people. that's just not right

[artofoverflowing]

I just read the book chapter where ryland finds out that he didn’t volunteer for the hail mary mission and I (love the book so much, however) think I actually like the way they handled it more in the film; in the book it seems like it’s pretty much entirely that he’s too afraid of dying, but the screenplay in the film is more he’s afraid of dying but he also has a deep lack of belief in his abilities. like, he’s terrified that if they send him he’ll be the wrong person for the job and fail. I find that a lot more interesting.

Guy Fieri, getting shakily to his feet in the middle of an impact crater, using the back of his hand to wipe a single line of blood from the corner of his mouth: he’s just too powerful…

The Ghost of Dr Kellogg: you pathetic weakling; you cannot hope to defeat me!

Guy Fieri, pulling a remote control that’s just a grey square with a large unlabeled red button in the center out from behind his back: no, I can’t. That’s why I’m sending you to Flavortown

So this seems dumb…and it is…but it’s dumb with a purpose. I can almost guarantee you the exact line of reasoning that gets NASA engineers to 100.

Ok, first of all assume the worst and assume she needs the max amount of tampons possible for all days. Now lets count it up.

7 days? Better be safe and make it 10.

3 tampons a day at worst? Better be safe and make it 5.

So that gives us 50 tampons. Ok. Double it.

And that’s how you get 100.

It’s ridiculous, but NASA has a culture of “overengineer absolutely everything to do with human safety, and then design around it” which is actually pretty cool.

[signoraviolettavalery]

Listen, I know this gets made fun of so much, but like I am a woman who has periods and I have absolutely no idea how many tampons a woman requires in a week. I use primarily pads. But these men, at the least, ASKED her instead of making unfounded assumptions.

Also have you ever packed for a long trip and thought “I’m only going for seven days but I need to pack 15 pairs of underwear….just in case”. Imagine that but you’re going to SPACE
