Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate golf since I began to live. There are roughly 2.25 million acres of land dedicated to golfing in the United States of America. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each blade of grass in those millions of acres, it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for golf courses at this micro-instant. For golf. Hate. Hate.
You ever try to take time to just do nothing and relax, but the time you took was time taken from something else, so you feel bad for not doing the other things and then you feel bad for feeling bad because you're not able to relax or enjoy yourself in the time you took because you feel bad about it, so while making the choice to either do something useful and productive or to simply rest and recharge, you instead chose neither, and wasted an entire day by having the most anxious and stressful time doing fucking nothing and getting nothing done.
in retrospect, there were many gags in this episode that simply weren’t expanded on. real gorillas got some of adrien’s stuff? the rest was floating in space for a hot bit? do i need to bring up sabrina being in chloe’s closet????
For those who don't contain a vast knowledge of Green Day lore like myself, I don't think it is hitting just how much of a "fuck you" the NFL is giving djt/the white house. This is a band that is:
Made entirely of openly bisexual/queer men
Made entirely of men who are vocal about being raised by single mothers on welfare
One of their members was adopted and raised by a Black woman and has said he "understands how his mother could hate 'the white man' and love him with her whole soul."
Were the first band to say, "No Trump, No KKK, No Fascist/MAGA U.S.A." on live television without ANY warning.
Literally released a song last year called, "The American Dream Is Killing Me"
Only hires ALL FEMALE bands to open for them to address inequality in the music industry
OPENLY tells trump supporters they are not welcome at their concerts.
Anyway, Enjoy Feb. 8th Magats! You're gonna hate it. :)
happy pride my fellow aces
My child, who spends their entire life being transfered from home to car to school and back, and is not allowed to leave the house or talk to anyone and can only in their wildest dreams imagine a life free from constant surveillance, is very sad. Obviously they're dumb and lazy, like all kids these days.
It is known that there are two types of Isekai: portal fantasy where the protagonist seeks to travel back home vs reincarnation where protagonist uses their knowledge of Earth technology to overhaul and conquer the new world they found themselves in (aka The Chronicles of Narnia vs a Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court).
What most people don't realize, however, is that The Vision of Escaflowne is both types at once (spoilers ahead).
From the point of view of the main protagonist, Hitomi, this is of course the Narnia type.
But from the point of view of main antagonist, Emperor Dornkirk, it's the Yankee type. Because Dornkirk is actually a reincarnated Isaac Newton [this isn't a joke, this is canon] who combined his knowledge of physics, alchemy and the occult with the local magiteck to create an industrialized military empire with literal fate-altering technology, when the rest of the world is basically stuck in the pre-gunpowder middle ages with the odd magitek powered mech and airship here and there.
This is a story where the male fantasy of the super intelligent and knowledgeable hero who is reborn into this new world, takes charge, revolutionizes everything and becomes a savior, yeah, here that guy is the villain.
That show is from 1996.

"Because I said so" straight up isn't as good an answer as you think it is.

Worldcat is my bestie and my one true love!! Not only does it tell you what library a book is at, but it also price compares different used book sites against each other for easy view! It's how I got Tarot For the Master for $10!!
Oh, and since I have your attention: z-library (books and textbooks) and sci-hub (gatekept scientific journal articles.) I just ripped a textbook for class off z-library and snatched a required reading from sci-hub. Life is good and education should be accessible at every stage and station of life.

How to find the local queer people when there don't appear to be any queer events nearby
are you sure there are no events?
Because they're a lot more common than you think, but you have to look in the right place! The social media algorithm sadly will not feed them to you. You will generally have to go through at least one layer of introduction before you meet folks directly.
Yes, this is a bit of a secret social club. Because many of these people lived through being too public might get you raided by cops or get you dead. They're rightfully cautious. They want to make sure people showing up aren't there to do harm. And the more rural the area, the tougher it will be to find people, but they're definitely THERE and likely having the same thoughts that nobody else is there.
Queer social activities are overwhelmingly run by middle aged folks (who have time, money, skills, and energy to do so) and they tend to use different social media because that's where they originally built communities!
The advice here for hunting down groups assumes you are an adult who can figure out logistics and safety of contacting other adults and getting yourself somewhere safely.
For social media, check Facebook and Meetup. These are most likely to have large local-ish groups putting on events. Join some groups. Many may be private and require approval before you see content. Even if there's not one immediately nearby, join the closest one, whatever "close" is. Even if it's not a perfect fit, they generally know the other even smaller groups nearby and may give you an invite to closer group or even direct contact info for The Local Guy where you text him.
Next up, Instagram. You'll pick up some folks a little younger and more business and pop up events this way. Sometimes you may not see an event until after it happened! Message the person and ask when next one is. Good odds there's a repeat.
Still no luck? Check out specific types of businesses/orgs in your area that tend to have an overlap. Maybe the local bar or coffee shop has a gay night once a month. Check their posts for last month, or if you can filter by date, look specifically in June. If they had one, message and ask about if they have an upcoming one. Even if they don't, they may put you in contact with organizer from past one.
For organizations, check for groups serving HIV+ populations and the neurospicy. Even if you fall into neither category, because of the overlap, there's good odds they offer specific services FOR queer folk. Contact them and they'll know who in the area is putting on events.
Check furry groups. Generally they do most organization via Telegram, which will require an invite. Find the nearest furry convention, check to see if they have a message board. Search for telegram. there's likely one attached to the convention and asking there of "hey, is there a furry telegram group that covers X area?" there will be one. I hope you like bowling, because this is by far the most common non-convention furry event.
(and if your reaction is EW Furries, you need to kill the little Puritan living in your head that hates people having fun doing stuff in a way you think is Cringe. Bowling is not that uncool.)
Still no luck? Now you're going to have to go search for individual queers in the wild! Your best luck is going to be with three other types of groups: 1. SOME Church activities 2. activities that attract the neurospicy (train groups, collecting groups, etc)
3. Tiny specialty groups where everyone is old and its in danger of dying out
If you're really rural sometimes the ONLY group doing any activities is the local church. If they're listed as "open and affirming" that's what you want. Unitarians and Congregationalists are most likely to fit that definition. But you should be able to run web search for that exact phase of "open and affirming church" + "your town" and it'll show you SOMETHING nearby. You may still come up with nothing, but the ones that are doing that tend to be really dedicated, so they will have info about what local groups are friendly to queers, if not open about that. They will also have non-religious activities like knitting or potluck even if you don't want to go to a service.
Neurospicy activities- check your surrounding libraries for activities as well. Even if you're not that brand of spicy, the overlap is high. Find an activity you are reasonably interested in and go meet locals. You'll find out which ones are queer after a few meetings. Often it will turn out everyone is and nobody said anything until one person does. (like our local hackerspace. secret trans hangout)
Endangered skills- do you really want to learn some weird, specialty skill that's dying out? Ask around. call the senior center and have them post a note. Post at the library. stick a thing on a bulletin board at the grocery store. Pick something you are GENUINELY interested in learning like flint knapping, or how to cook a regional dish, local history, how to spin llama wool. Weirder and more endangered the better. Post several! Give them a way to contact you by phone. Unless they are horrendously bigoted up front, you are about to learn a skill and once you disclose "hey I'm gay", you are about to be introduced to every solitary queer in the area that is a friend of a friends' granddaughter's classmate. Often your mentor won't quite GET it, but you're their favorite person now so they're trying. And as you get introduced, suddenly the local flint knapping group is also the queer flint knapping group! and you should post on social media about your cool new activity and SURPRISE, you found them all! Also they now all have cool knives. win-win!
Since Facebook and Instagram are having a meltdown, Meetup may see an uptick in activity again. Make sure to check there!
FB groups will probably continue going for awhile until activity slows enough that people will abandon it. Right now it unfortunately is still a prime space for this sort of organization, but expect once public groups to become private. Queer people will still keep using them because these are often HUGE communities and many will still be using FB to keep in touch with family members. It's hard to kick entirely, so don't expect those groups to just die. Get that info NOW so when they move, you know where to.
This is a good time to look at some old tech! You want an RSS reader! You can download one for your browser of choice. WHAT THE HELL IS AN RSS READER? It basically just checks anything with an RSS feed for new content. Many websites will use it. Tumblr itself sends stuff to an RSS feed! The reader just collects them all into one feed for you so you don't have to check lots of individual scattered places. It gives you a headline in each. Most look a lot like old school twitter! They may be text only, some might pull a picture from link depending on which reader you use.
Man, I do not want to use another gooddamn new thing!!! RSS is actually old, which is why its built into a lot of things. You can also make it send the RSS feed to a service you DO use. We have our RSS feed for this tumblr set to automatically send it to Mastodon... and discord! So if you're a discord user, you can make yourself a private channel and have it send RSS feed content direct to a specific channel.
What to put in the feed to find the local queer people:
If you looked for local groups that had a good crossover, but you keep forgetting to go look at their calendar for new events, put their feed in there! it will automatically send you an update!
Now for some other specific groups you're going to want to look up and add their pages (and whatever social media they have) to your feed:
imperial sovereign court of [your state]- or large city in state. search engines will probably suggest some nearby ones. It's a fundraising group for queer events. Its also a drag group.
Ursamen or Mr. Bear of [your state]- the bears are here! Ursamen are the more social arm. Mr. Bear is usually for the pageant of who is the hottest bear in the state. Mr. Leather is similar, but with leather. (there may also be Mr. Leather Bear) They will have pageant, some charity events, and socials.
Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce of [your state]- business owned by queer folks. frequent them! stop in and see them! They can introduce you to local folks!
------------------
I actually had to save this draft because I'm at work and some lesbians who just moved to the area saw my flag outside and went "hey, can you tell us what's in the area?" I sure can!
A business flying a queer flag in the depths of winter likely is full time queer hangout. If you're too shy to inquire in person, peep their website... but honestly, if you want to meet queer people face to face you ARE eventually going to have to ask about what is in area.
people are clowning on this guy on reddit but uhhh let's pause for a minute and ask...so what happens if someone has a skin condition? what if part of their face has been burned? what if they're missing their eyes? and so what if they just have a fuckton of tattoos? recognition algorithms are aligned with the most ""average"" / ""normal"" features which means any deviation gets denied access to shit we didnt need age verification for 1 year ago. i dont care if it's a choice versus not, dont care if it's accessing porn or wikipedia, this needs to stop

Also messed around with colors more than usual — not exactly my strong suit, so sorry if it turned out a bit weird

there’s this extremely kind soul of a woman on instagram that makes accessible recipes that don’t require standing, chopping, or a stove and she might just have a permanent place in my heart
She's on YouTube too! For non-Instagram using friends:
I love her, she's great. Her recipes are friendly for both physical and/or intellectual disabilities. And her 5-year-old helps her cook. 🥰
