As a queer person online who is not from the dominant cultural powerhouse in the world, the most common phrase I see is "know your queer history". I was always annoyed by this mantra not because I didn't want to take the time to understand the evolution of queerness through time but because that statement was always silently referring to North American queer history.

Australians. We now have an incredible new LGBTIQA+ documentary about queerness in Australia's colonial and Aboriginal history and it's written by gay comedians. Wins all around. If you want to learn about YOUR queer history, the three part documentary Queerstralia is now showing on ABC iView. Go go go!

Y al final nunca explicaron por qué Kylo Ren tenía el pelo negro si era el hijo de Han y Leia

[elbiotipo]

Por eso me rompe las pelotas cuando le dicen "ay el Ben Solo", por qué el hijo de Han y Leia no se parece ni en aspecto ni en carácter ni en nada a ellos, por qué le pusieron "Ben" al hijo de Han y Leia, Ben es una referencia al viejo Obi-Wan que no tiene nada que ver con ellos

que personaje más choto

[elbiotipo]

Si la idea era hacerlo adoptado (no lo era) genial, que sea adoptado pero hagan algo con eso, no me pongan a este tipo y me digan que es el hijo de ellos, hasta yo que tengo un problema de reconocer las caras me doy cuenta

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

One thing you need to know about me is that I will read almost anything that is in my view. And I don't mean books. I mean posters, panels, ads, graffiti... And when it's funny or curious or it just tickles me somehow, I will take a picture.

And I say this because it's something that comes naturally to me, maybe it's something that my parents also do and I just assumed it as a part of life, I don't know. But I do know that it has surprised some long time friends of mine, that they have mentioned "ah yes you like seeing posters" as if it's something nobody else around them does or worse: they don't do it themselves.

So read the things around you because they are fun. You may be missing a silly wordplay in a local business. You may be missing a cute detail of graphic design. You may be missing old school typography. You may be missing a confusing message.

And life will be better if you notice it.

Interruption du programme habituel pour parler de Marjane Satrapi. Je ne sais pas si vous avez vu passer l'info, mais elle est décédée aujourd'hui.

Je connais pas assez la madame et je prétends pas pouvoir dresser un portrait convenable donc je veux simplement partager avec vous quelques unes des œuvres que je connais et si vous en avez envie, vous pouvez réagir à ce post pour partager un souvenir, une recommandation etc.

En premier, Persepolis évidemment. J'avais 17 ans quand on m'a offert l'intégral en BD et j'avais adoré. Je vais pas m'étendre sur cette œuvre que beaucoup de gens connaissent sûrement. Simplement, si vous ne l'avez jamais lu, foncez. C'est un excellent moyen de découvrir cette autrice/dessinatrice, son univers et son écriture. Et si vous aimez pas trop lire, il existe une adaptation animée. Je ne l'ai pas vue donc je peux pas en dire grand chose mais il a été réalisé par Marjane Satrapi elle-même donc je pense que ça doit être très fidèle à l'œuvre d'origine.

The Voices*. Si vous ne connaissez pas, rendez-vous service et voyez-le, il est hilarant. Le casting est très chouette : on a Ryan Reynolds, Anna Kendrick et Gemma Arterton. Si vous êtes à l'aise avec l'anglais, je vous recommande la VO juste pour profiter des voix du chat et du chien doublé par Reynolds.

*attention quand même, c'est sanglant et ça aborde des sujets difficiles donc renseignez-vous avant de le regarder, au cas où.

Et ça sera tout car j'ai malheureusement procrastiné, mon tome de Femme vie liberté est en train de prendre la poussière, donc je ne peux pas en parler ici ; et même si j'avais été intriguée par Poulet aux prunes (à cause de son titre) je ne l'ai toujours pas acheté/lu.

this post goes out to translators. translators who for the last 40 years have been told their jobs would be useless, their place would be taken by AI, and yet. they are still doing it for the love of the game. translators who do it in a crunch. translators who are asked not to translate "literally" by their employers. translators cursed at for "changing" the text by an audience that can understand 1 word between them. translators who find clever cultural equivalents. translators who are always to blame for the ambiguity of the authors. translators who give us a glimpse of another world. translators who take up the impossible task of making a text understandable in another language where none of the cultural connotations match, when no word can truly capture the same meaning as another. just. translators man

Carpe cibum. Seize the food. It's like carpe diem but for food because I just REALLY sadly had to throw out 3/4 of a jar of really nice butternut squash pasta sauce because I didn't eat it fast enough because I didn't know what to put it on and it got moldy. Like I was really sad about this because the sauce was really good I just didn't eat it because who knows why. Carpe cibum. Eat that food you got because otherwise it will get moldy and you will be sad

Not to sound like a boomer but this past year I have been calling friends on the phone every once in a while. With some of them a bit more often, with others a bit more rarely but I find that some of us are getting more drawn to just call and get news from an actual conversation instead of texting.

Like sure it's great to see pictures of your kids or your holidays or whatever new interest you have but let's call, sit for an hour or two, listen to each other and share a bit of our lives over the phone.

I am so happy to live in a time when this is so cheap is basically free. It was so expensive to call to another city when I was a teenager, and now I can call a whole different country if I want to.

I need to stop replying to “how do you make friends in your 30s?” threads because all my answers boil down to “you have to want to know people instead of have friends” and I don’t think people wanna hear that

[eroscestlavie]

It’s like. People can tell if you don’t really like or connect with them. If you aren’t truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you don’t really like that person that much.
