a photo taken right when a phone died of low battery

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.

One of the most joyful moments of 2024 during a Pride Parade in Portugal.

Genuinely

I love labels

I love labels because you have this word you can point to and say "thats how I feel, there are others that feel like that, I'm not alone"

Labels are fucking cool

Assuming the same percent of people are born on each day in a leap year cycle (1461 days), we would expect these results:

5.75% born in a 28-day February

1.98% born in a 29-day February

32.85% born in a 30-day month (April, June, September, November)

59.41% born in a 31-day month (January, March, May, July, August, October, December)

June is also men’s mental health month so I’d like to drop in and say that mine is not so good. It’s also Pride Month so I’m going to be treating the problem with yaoi.

Watching the latest Game Changer and laughing so much that Diesel (who was trying to sleep on me) got mad at the shaking and left

Oh god they're doing Australian accents. Why. Sam this is actual violence. Don't make me listen to Americans failing to do Australian accents for ten minutes please, PLEASE, I am fucking BEGGING you.

derinthescarletpescatarian

Americans should have to get an accent license before they're allowed to do Australian accents. Like little kids getting a pen license in school.

ok but Bluey would genuinely make em better right?. But for like the generation that’s age 0-5 now. So like in 20 -odd years a lot of young up and coming american actors will have decent east-coast accents

derinthescarletpescatarian

I love the idea that Bluey will be such a large part of their media consumption for so many years that they will be able to do her accent well in twenty years' time. Bluey Is Eternal.

Also, what was that about a pen license?

derinthescarletpescatarian

When kids are first learning to write, they usually do their schoolwork in graphite pencil, so that mistakes can be erased and they don't stain everything with ink. Once they exhibit enough control and competence to be trusted with a pen, we say they have their "pen license" and ballpoint pens are phased in. Kids generally don't give a shit but parents and teachers treat this as an informal sort of milestone and act like they should aspire to it.

My primary school made you re-qualify for your pen license every year from grade 3-6.

derinthescarletpescatarian

They really wanted you to be sure you were ready to accept the responsibility of ink huh

I was like the only girl in my class who failed to get a pen license and I felt real and legitimate shame over that

Derin we didn’t need to tell them about the pen licence - having to explain this stuff makes me feel like Siobhan some times

derinthescarletpescatarian

Most of what Siobhan explains is normal and it's the yanks she works with who are weird.

Derin you said my accent was cute 🥺

derinthescarletpescatarian

It is, you can have an accent license

really underrated part of the LotR films is when gollum gets exposition lines. like can you imagine? you're travelling with the most fucked-up evil little murder greyhound creature imaginable and he lives in a cave and doesn't know about potatoes but from time to time you have to ask him about local geopolitics. and he answers you

the place I work at remodeled these split gendered restrooms into “inclusive restrooms” and never told us what they meant while construction was ongoing. I need you to know every atom of potential criticism or whining that could’ve happened disappeared when people found out this meant we got 10 fully separate private bathrooms with sinks inside. I’ve not heard a single person crack a joke about the inclusive signage. this is the world TERFs are trying to steal from you

This is called a "superloo" and terfs are actively trying to steal this from you, in the UK they changed bathroom regulations to mean new buildings have to prioritise gendered toilets rather than build superloos.

This also upset a lot of architects and designers who like the superloos. They're also typically more like small rooms rather than having doors you can look under.

I have a friend who was strongly against inclusive bathrooms because he felt that “bathroom stalls are already really exposed due to how they’re constructed, so no wonder women don’t want men in the same bathrooms as them” and when I pointed out that we could just… build better bathrooms… with less exposed stalls, he got really quiet and then said “honestly that sounds so much better, but there must be some problem with building them like that, because otherwise wouldn’t we already be doing it?” BESTIE we are. WE ARE. Old-style bathrooms are cheaply made, poorly designed, and all around bad. Haven’t you noticed that men’s restrooms rooms get weirdly sticky? Haven’t you noticed that women’s restrooms end up with giant lines? This is because these rooms are architecturally awful. And we can do better now, because we know more! And we are!!! People are actively designing better bathrooms that address known problems, and guess what: those bathrooms are “inclusive” in the same way that curb-cuts are inclusive. It doesn’t matter if the ramp was built for a wheelchair or a stroller; it doesn’t matter if the bathrooms were designed specifically for gender inclusivity or just because fall-apart-if-you-sneeze-on-them metal stall dividers with giant ass peek gaps suck. We can in fact improve our built environment to better meet our needs. Stop cutting off your nose to spite your face; stop settling for less just because someone else might also enjoy it.

Seattle's SEA-TAC airport has an all gender restroom that's a row of about a dozen fully enclosed separated little rooms that lock, with a shared bank of sinks and it's great. Love it. Lot of very strange encounters at the sinks, feels odd the first few times! But people laugh it off almost instantly. Because it's not actually a big deal to share a sink.

warming up idk
