What did you say? Heterosexuality is haram? Wtf. Hope it's joke or something
- Noah’s wife was straight. Lot’s wife was straight. Pharaoh was straight. Literally every person who is punished ~by name~ in the Taurat, Injeel AND Qur’an were heterosexual. Coincidence?
- If Adam’s judgement wasn’t clouded by his heterosexuality we wouldn’t be in this worldly mess in the first place. IF Adam was gay like a normal person we never would have been kicked out of the garden.
- “Straight”/”Hetrosexual” are modern sociological constructs. Heterosexuality is bidah.
- If heterosexuality is permissible then why are there gendered barriers in the masjid? Why are men allowed to expose their navels so wantonly amongst their brothers, but not amongst women?? HMMM?
The only straightness for true Muslims is as-sirat al-mustaqim. It’s so obvious I don’t know how you can’t see it.Heterosexuality is haraam. Obviously.
can you fucking imagine if there was a poll going around asking if bisexual people were queer??? or trans people even. anything after the G other than A really (and if you say A is for ally I am killing you with a piano).
it would be fucking ridiculous, wouldn't it?
yeah so the "are cishet aromantic men queer" poll should be seen by EVERYONE as fucking ridiculous. because it is. it's not really up for debate.
if someone asked you right now, are lesbians queer, you'd tell them to touch grass. at best. you'd probably ignore them if we're being honest. but suddenly when they ask about aromantic people it's up for debate? or worse you "don't want to get involved"?
aromantic people are queer. whether you like it or not.
it’s okay if you’re aromantic because of trauma or mental illness. it’s okay if you start to gain romantic attraction as you start to recover. it’s also okay if trauma took away your romantic attraction completely, never to return or if recovery decreases your romantic attraction. it doesn’t matter why you’re aro or if you’ll be aro forever. if you find a home in the aromantic community that’s a good thing, and we’ll welcome you with open arms
if you want young queers to want to associate with elder queers then maybe the culture shouldn't be so ridiculous and over the top. I get second hand embarrassment from drag queens and leather daddies and kinksters in puphoods acting like they represent all gays
I would much rather be represented by drag queens, leather daddies and pups than by petulant cowards afraid of their own reflection. You are talking about people who never had the option of being seen as "normal people who just happen to be gay" and channeled their pain into self expression, community and art. And who are you? You define yourself not in terms of who you are and what you create but in terms of who you are not and what you lack. These people you hate only seem larger than life because your life is too small and insignificant to fit them.
listen, everything about this reply is 100% true
but this is the least persuasive thing to say if we elder gays want actual solidarity
don't fool yourselves into believing the middle-class gays aren't thinking the same thing! because first of all it's a practical question. the people passing horrible legislation are in legislatures, how do we get taken seriously if someone shows in full drag to a legislative session? yes, the cringe part is thudding-stupid, but it's rooted in a *real question* which we are not taking seriously at all
oh yeah, let's throw away the actual question of how do we make traction if the world doesn't take us seriously. there are so many layers of sophistication to tackling that, including wholly practical political strategies. but sure let's miss that point totally
second of all, we elder gays are NOT acknowledging the vast swathes of young people who are in the midst of cult indoctrination
they are not only functionally illiterate, their oppressors keep them functionally illiterate
they are not only emotionally stunted, their oppressors keep them emotionally stunted
do you honestly think they can sneak to the corner shop without being tracked by their phone or their car or their key fob?? how do you think they're going to go to a drag show or attend pride? they're probably sneaking onto freakin pinterest just to look at pictures of queens
yes, your response is valid
it's also a fucking useless turn-off that will just drive them back to indoctrination
because the key here is that in a world of strict hierarchy, appearance is reality
and drag queens do look like clowns. you can sit back and discuss how the two cultures have similarities but in their world, a clown is a clown is a clown
anyone wearing a mask is suspect. how the fuck do you think we got so many anti-maskers?!? did you miss that about the pandemic? a mask is a mask is a mask
some things are costumes and some things are not, and did you miss how oppressors brand anything not patriarchal white-supremacist as costume, from indigenous regalia to leather jackets to freakin' safety pins?? darlings, they get blowback for *coloring their hair*, how blind are you to miss this??
young gays are by and large not free of this
they are financially and materially dependent on this world
and when you drag their question and their visible anxieties by implying they are missing some key component of being human,
and then fail to explain how that component works to someone who has never fucking reframed a thing in their lives because they're punished for doing that ?
no fucking wonder young gays run the fuck away from us.
someone came up to you and voiced their anxieties ! holy shit, that was your response? they're never coming back to you again! we show our gay asses, that we've never actually conversed with young people, that we've never unraveled emotionally and experientially immature wording
this isn't tone-policing. this is the practical observation that that you're going to lose your chance at solidarity if you can't talk to the old narrrow-minded fool who asks an offensive question and gives you a wide-open door to unravel and un-know some of his bigotry. yes of course keep yourself *safe*
but against our own kids? what kind of fucking family is this, then?!?
naturally we fail to take that opening with much more flexible queer youth. we alienate them the moment we snap our fingers. ha ha, you got notes, aren't you clever. yeah, well you just lost the kids in the middle of a horror movie, are you glad? do you feel better about defending your queer history?
you made it us vs them!
and then you made it like you're going to give up on them on the spot?!?!?!!!!!
50K notes of mockery!
the oppressors love that!!!
because you do not understand that they do not understand how the knee-jerk reactions of punk-coded petty gay clapbacks work. they're still at the stage of believing that all aliases are insincere and dishonest, how do you think they're handling sarcasm?
you want to teach history, then roll that shit back, back to the basics. to how masks function not only theatrically but how theatericality projects the emotions that can't be fully externalized otherwise. how anonymity can protect. how pain and grief can turn into joy. how power dynamics are games; hell, how games and playing work in the first place, these kids aren't allowed to go on playgrounds unsupervised
they do NOT KNOW THESE THINGS. they have never tasted catharsis in their lives, they've heard about it on tiktok somewhere before the algorithm buried it
you cannot just say: "you're imitating our oppressors" and then they say "well what are we supposed to say then?" and your answer is "i don't know be more human instead of acting like a fucking cunt" and then act like you're not the villain origin story here
you can't go and warn youths about _forces trying to divide us_ by saying the most fucking divisive shit in the most condescending way that would have made you go fucking feral when you were a teenager
we lecture so much about systemic oppression, then we fucking turn our backs on its youngest victims! our own baby gays!
yes it's so complicated reaching in and taking every question in good faith and trying to detangle someone else's distorted world-view. yes it's demeaning to be dealing with so much ill-intent. fuck you, did you think it was easy? does it actually matter if they're trolls? answer like you're the gay auntie they need! answer like you're the queer daddy who'll open the fucking door to warmth and laughter and hope instead of slamming it on their fingertips!
sometimes it's not about you!
sometimes you have to stick your hand in the cage and unlock it from the inside
we old-ass bifocal-wearing queers need to get serious about de-programming efforts, which takes a ton of empathy and about 700% less bitchy defensiveness.
because who else is going to do it? we're the fucking elders. fucking act like it, and teach them the shit they need to survive *their world*

Tama is boss
THE TRAINS HAVE CARTOON TAMAS ON THEM
Sad update everyone, Tama recently passed away… An estimated 3,000 people, including railway officials, attended Tama the cat’s funeral on Sunday, days after she died of heart failure aged 16. [x]
For those who haven’t read articles about it, the local shrine elevated her to a god. She’s now the Eternal Stationmaster and patron god of the station.
Beautiful.
Now I’m crying thanks
and a new cat was hired right?
yep! her name is Nitama (essentially ”second tama” or “tama II”) and she served under Tama as an apprentice before being appointed her deputy
she works very hard
Everytime this crosses my dash, I reblog. It is the law.
I’m crying at 11pm over train cats
Nitama, already now a mature cat (born 2010), has a protege named Yontama (fourth Tama, b. 2016). There is no information available for either the physical befellment or tragic self-disgrace which has removed Santama from contention.
^Nitama majestic, and below with Yontama
Yontama.
a legacy
okay but actually what happened to santama (or sun-tama-tama, which is her name because it’s a pun on santama) was that she was basically sent to train for the position in okayama and they liked her so much they refused to send her back
“Sun-tama-tama” (a pun off of “Santama”, lit. “third Tama”) was a calico cat sent for training in Okayama. Sun-tama-tama was considered as a candidate for Tama’s successor, but the Okayama Public Relations representative who had been caring for Sun-tama-tama refused to give the cat up writing, “I will not let go of this child, she will stay in Okayama.” [25]
As of September 2018, Sun-tama-tama is working as the stationmaster in Naka-ku, Okayama and appears occasionally on Tama’s Twitter account.
Every time I see this post there’s new info and it gets better
You are only allowed to scroll pass this after you pay tribute to the great Tama Station masters.
The shrine of Tama Daimyōjin (Great gracious deity Tama), next to the Kishi station where she worked.
Nitama presenting her yearly offerings to Tama Daimyōjin on the anniversary of Tama’s Death, June 23 (The offerings are presented by the company president, as Nitama is a cat and thus can’t hold the offerings herself) (Not pictured, but also present, Yontama)
you cannot pass without reblogging guys. i’m sorry, i don’t make the rules.
You can’t not reblog a goddess. It’s just what’s so. :)
So, fun fact- the manga Noragami has an arc where the main character, Yato (a minor kami/God that is down on his luck but trying to make it big time) goes to a council/conference for all the Gods in Japan.
And they are announcing the winner of the “up and coming god” award, and of course, Yato thinks it’s him.
But no-
ITS TAMA!
Always reblogging this.

this has almost 11 million notes what is this
I’ve never seen this post once in 10 years on this site
@hellsite-hall-of-fame
I’ve never even heard of this before tho??? Wtf??????????
oh my god, I didn’t think there were any surviving versions of this post left
For those who weren’t around in the Deep Lore times, this is one of the relics of the editable post era. This post has THE SINGLE HIGHEST NOTES of ANY post on this site, bar none, but with more than a dozen variations. Every single post you’ve ever seen with more than 3 million notes has been a different version of this one.
This is the “Dean’s Gym Shorts” post. This is the Flubber post. This is the original “Reblog if you support gay people” post. it was ALL of them. before half the site got nuked, it had even more notes than it has now - at one point, well over 15 million, and that was years ago.
This, with no exaggeration, is the ONE TRUE heritage post
i thought you were 22? it says 23 in ur bio
you're never gonna believe what happened to me
they went to the beach
the beach that makes you old yeah
You have been visited by the twocumber. May you receive twofold luck in the coming days
Me when I remember something I said ages ago that was wrong or my values no longer align with
they should be killed for this.
pretty sure an advertising campaign to get people to buy your shitty cup is not "personal, non-commercial use"
So what's the thing you like the most about the Watatsukis?
They are so silly and friend-shaped, look at them. The squeewi deepys.
Please for the love of fuck stop talking about important stuff online, it is clearly not your strong suit.
Want to briefly stress:
As a disabled person that needs daily access to meds to ensure my ongoing survival, fuck you and your instance on your nerd DIY shit.
As a person whose job involves me processing complex organic compounds literally every day in a lab facility, you genuinely have no concept of how strict the standards are to keep things running smoothly and to prevent contamination and failures.
Hi! This is a wild lie— there is an organization working towards something like this though!
obviously NOT making insulin in tool sheds. But, the Open Insulin Foundation is constantly hard at work researching a way to produce insulin on a small, community-based scale, without breaking any patents.
Open Insulin
This is super important, because regardless of what people say, diabetes is an immune disorder— and especially type 1 diabetics can not produce ANY insulin at all. Rationing insulin is unsafe for any diabetic, and small scale production would make insulin affordable and accessible to people all over the globe. Companies use the fact that without their insulin, people will die to create incredibly large profits on the backs of millions of disabled people all over the globe.
everyone should be outraged that insulin isn’t free.
Hi! This is a wild lie— and grossly ignorant of the reality of insulin worldwide. From a simple cursory look around their blog and reports, the open insulin project is a bunch of """biohackers""" (who calls themselves that? Be for fucking real) roleplaying world saving medicine by using other people's equipment to achieve the most barebones first step towards production of insulin. I don't see any qualifications anywhere on their website. They just got their hands on a bioreactor and the only way they even got to see results for expression of insulin lispro (only ONE type of insulin btw and a short-acting one that's virtually unsustainable for therapy considering most if not all insulin treatment regimes include a mix of long-acting and short-acting insulin. "Rationing insulin" isn't a fucking thing and you're clearly ignorant of the variance of treatments for types of insulin along with different people's circumstances) was with the help of universities and labs that had the kind graces to let them use the equipment. They're a LONG way away from anything feasible, not to mention they only work in the Americas so they're useless to a majority of the world– where insulin is already being produced for affordable prices without any of y'all's Le Epic Biohacker Bullcrap
Also, your response doesn't address the anarchist mouthpieces aiming to dismantle the structures and chains open insulin relies on – because they're just roleplaying in a lab without the donations, universities and labs to serve as the backbone of their project here – or the fact they have no real structure behind this "community driven insulin solution". It really appears like their end goal is simply to dodge the patents (which is noble on its own i guess, but is useless if you don't have ACTUAL production plants out there) and not to create safe, proper facilities to supply insulin, instead throwing it at volunteers. And we all know volunteers are just so great and can do no wrong, right, mormon troubled teen industry? Right, salvation army? Right, LGB alliance? You seem awfully blind to the fact when a lot of these people say "shed", they fucking mean sheds.
Everyone is outraged insulin isn't free, but we're not gonna get poisoned for the sake of your savior complex.

Jumping in briefly as a pharmacy student to say fucking THANK you. I'm so tired of abled morons acting like life-saving medication is just so easy to make and that supply chains are useless because I have studied this stuff and I know it's a grueling task to make any medication in even small dosages – let alone insulin. There's SO MUCH WRONG with the shed claims it infuriates me so I'll debunk it before iftar
To start, technical aspects! let's go over what a shed doesn't have;
HEPA filters, rounded corners, structural prep for production of medicine such as resin coating on the floors and healthy circulation
Black, Gray and White rooms (level of sterilization) to accommodate different excipients and their sensitivity to contaminants +
Proper PPE practices. This one is self explanatory
A comprehensive quality control process including in-process testing and final product testing performed in sterile environments
FUCKING MICROMOLECULE PER M³ OF AIR LIMITS
Literally any form of actually sterile material storage – no, you can't just put everything in a fridge, proper sealing and storage varies from environment to environment. Also. Air contaminants. Because you don't have a HEPA filter or a hood
Proper equipment for the purification and concentration of extracts if you're doing pharmacognosy – and let's be real, in a world without supply chains you'll be forced to extract your medicaments from plants yourself
Efficient extraction practices – without supply chains, good fucking luck getting your hands on an ultrasonic extractor or even better a supercriticial fluid extractor for your thermolabile medicaments. Cloroform wasted by the liters BABy
Sterilization. Sterilization. Sterilization.
Let's be real you're not gonna be able to make bulk or match the production level of even a barebones lab when you don't have the equipment necessary for that nor the suitable environment for that– again, a fucking shed. So you're gonna need a small storage form. Ampoules? Well get ready to pick up glasswork or buy one of these bad boys.
A non-contaminated batch because it's a shed and you're washing your beakers in water thinking that's good enough. You just made death-fluid and potentially are causing an outbreak of blood-borne disease. Yippee
And that's just the essentials of any drug's production. I just went looking for the production of insulin in the middle east because I hail from around these parts and found a JULPHAR plant working on exclusively producing insulin– the first in the region, so they had no experience in doing this stuff. Ok, let's look at what they do.
Oh, they're using DNA technology and industrial-level fermentation tanks? And they STILL needed supply chains to even get their hands on the needed crystals in the beginning?
The entire production process is monitored and controlled using a process control system with a capacity of about 10,000 items of input and output information.
Hm. Looks more advanced than a shed to me.
Secondly– societal aspects! what about the disabled people who physically can't produce their own insulin? People with asthma, physical weakness, autism or ADHD? Having to stand there in a humid hot environment stirring a disgusting tank of e.coli – as harmless as it may be – is a lot of strain. Will you produce it for them? In that case you'll need to upgrade your equipment to handle this new load and actually would need to pay further attention to your batch quality. What will you do when your insulin contaminates people? Even the best factories have a risk factor.
What will you do when you inevitably make people sick?
What will you do if someone dies?
How will you identify the source of contamination? How will you retract your insulin from the community-? OH.
ANOTHER GOOD POINT. LABELING PRACTICE. Most laymen don't know about proper unified labeling that's concise, informative and easy to understand. But I think I've gone on long enough for the quick and easy insulin shed myth to fall apart.
