I will always reblog this

[bradspace3000]

still remember how revolutionary this ad felt 10 years ago

[annesophiewashere]

excuse me but it still feels revolutionary

[stevviefox]

Keep reblogging until it feels normal everywhere.

For context: this came out in 2011 in Australia. Same-sex marriage would not be legalized until December 2017.

It was only legalized in 8 US states (the 8th only a few months before), and wouldn’t be legalized nation-wide until 2015.

It was only legal in TEN COUNTRIES in 2011. We wouldn’t hit 20 countries until 2017. (Australia was 23rd)

As of today (April 14, 2026), I believe only 38 countries have fully legalized same-sex marriage. Out of somewhere around 200 countries in the world. That’s only ~19% of countries.

This is still revolutionary.

reblog if you are ASEXUAL, support ASEXUAL PEOPLE, or SECRETLY A DRAGON IN HUMAN FORM

I’m really only a human in iguana form, but sure, I’ll take the ego boost.

Ok, hear me out: Victor Frankenstein creates an Eve for his Adam, they both sail off for America and arrive in Mexico where they are venerated as the Lord and Lady of Mictlan by the Mexica people.

we’re so lucky that gilgamesh survived and is a banger. can you imagine if we found the oldest written human story ever recorded and it sucked balls.

🎬: Barbe Bleue (2009)

[lunegrimm]

Commissioned piece based on the 16th century motif of death as the great equalizer. Death doesn't care about earthly possessions or status, death can't be be bargained with. Before death we are all equal at last. I recently learned that this piece is floating around the web in a cropped version quite a lot, with claims of it being a historical piece haha

This week, May 4-8, is national week of action for MMIW. Here’s a few facts:

1: Homicide is roughly the third leading cause of death among Indigenous women ages 10-24.

2: 56.1% of indigenous women have experienced sexual violence, 55.5% have experienced physical violence by an intimate partner, and 48.8% have experienced stalking.

3: The Federal Bureau of Investigation reported that there were 10,248 missing Indigenous persons reports in 2024. 5,614 were women, and 4,626 were men. Most women reported missing were under the age of 18.

4: The 10 states with the highest rates of American Indian/Alaska Native missing persons cases in 2025 were AK, AZ, OK, WA, NM, CA, MT, NC, SD, and TX.

5: Because of limited data, there is no reliable nationwide count of how many Native women go missing or are murdered each year.

And finally:

Indigenous women are murdered at 10x the national average in the United States alone.

The only taxidermied blue whale in the world, 1865 CE, now housed at the Natural History Museum in Sweden. The public was allowed to enter it up until a couple was found having sex inside it; now its jaws are opened only for special occasions like Swedish election days

It's in my town!

The whale is opened on election day because election in swedish is val, and whale is ... val.

It's also open on Walpurgis night, because that is called Valborg in swedish...

There is also a persistent rumor that there used to be a café inside of the whale, but there never were.
