You know what? I think Shane Madej deserves more credit for being literally the only man in the genre to actually walk the talk that he doesn’t believe in this shit. Other shows will be like “I am so SKEPTICAL I am a hardcore DEBUNKER” and then *two seconds later meme* “holy shit dude shadow people truly do control the government and Hillary Clinton hired the men in black to kill people, oh my god it’s all connected!” Ladies, if a man says he’s a skeptic, then he better be prepared to lie on a demon pentagram and laugh when a flashlight turns on and says it wants to kill him. Never settle for anything less.

One thing that a lot of transmasc people struggle with before they fully realize they’re trans is the question of “do I hate being treated like a woman because women are treated like shit, or do I hate being treated like a woman because I’m not a woman?”

and one method (though not entirely foolproof) to figuring that out is asking “would I be upset if another girl was treated like this?”

like, I’d be just as mad if some dude said “you can’t do math because you’re a girl” to a female classmate as I would if he said it to me

however, I never got uncomfortable at waiters calling my female friends “m'am”, I was only uncomfortable when they called *me* that

and obviously everyone’s feelings are different and there’s tons of variables at play, but if you find that there’s a lot of the second scenario going on with you, there’s a good chance you’re not entirely cis

I’m so emotional about dinosaur stuffed animals,,, there are these creatures, extinct long before any of us were alive, but we found their bones and their eggs and their footprints. And we made drawings and models of what they could’ve looked like. And we made them into stuffed animals so we could hold them. We made them soft so we could love them. I’m sobbing

every person can feel freddie’s presence in their souls when they sing MAMAAAAAA UUHHHH, I DONT WANNA DIE, I SOMETIMES I WISH I’VE NEVER BEEN BORN AT ALL with all the air in their lungs i’m not joking

[peachdisco]

it’s fucking crazy to think about the amount of people who have sung bohemian rhapsody? like it’s such a unifying song, by nature of the fact that so many people know it. it holds so many good memories for me and other people. it’s a song you scream in the car with your friends while you drive around your boring hometown, it’s a song you drunkenly sing with your arm around your best friend, or a song you sing along to with strangers when it’s on in public. it’s bittersweet to think about freddie’s legacy carrying on like that through his masterpiece. freddie carries on because he’s a part of so many people’s good memories and bohemian rhapsody is a huge part of that.

Reblog if you have sung bohemian rhapsody with your friends

[reikah-deactivated20190906]

every time i see this post i’m reminded of the video of 65,000 people singing bohemian rhapsody in near-perfect harmony

like, what other song can make that claim?

[crewdlydrawn-deactivated2022072]

Some of the highlights of that video include:

The crowd cheering after the first stanza when they realize what they’re all doing

So many people audibly ‘doing the guitar parts’… like ya do

The sheer number of voices joining the rediculous falsetto (thanks, Roger)

How they all start jumping at the ramp-up “so you think you can stomp me”

Hands up, hundreds, thousands deep for the final “ooooo”s and the last line to close the song

[aces-to-apples]

Only days before my state went into lockdown, “Bohemian Rhapsody” came on in the restaurant kitchen I’d just been hired at and, no shit, every single worker in that little diner started singing along. Me (the only queer afaik), the manager, all the other kitchen workers, the dishwasher up front, the two people on the counter, all but two of the men over 30. Just belting out Freddie Mercury at the top of their lungs. And you can bet when “sometimes I wish I’d never been born at all” came around, we every single one of us ramped up the intensity and basically made sure Freddie could hear us in the afterlife.

One of the things that struck me, listening to the video, is that you cannot distinguish the original vocals from the crowd, and sometimes you can barely hear the music. And the POV is on the stage the speakers are playing the song from!

There’s good reason why, nearly fifty years after the height of their career, Queen is still considered one of the best bands of all time ever.

(And how albums left lying about in cars will eventually metamorphose into Best of Queen albums.)

[prismatic-bell]

Something else that’s rather incredible about this is, Bohemian Rhapsody is a very difficult song from a technical standpoint. Like–humor me, okay, go flip it on and try to sing the whole thing at the top of your voice without falling off-key, out of breath, or cracking at least once. Then come back.

Okay. You’re back? Welcome back. Unless you’re a trained singer, you probably can’t do it. There are too many long notes, too many key changes, and too many places where–if you’re singing all the parts–you’re just up and down the scale too damned fast. I’m saying this as a trained singer and I can’t do it. I always crack on “magnifico” and “leave me to die,” and I have a pretty decent range, but I know I sound ugly as hell on that final coda.

Okay. Now that we’ve established that, I want to talk a little about singing as a chorus. One of the things a lot of people learned during the pandemic is how hard it is to take twenty people, all in different places, and stitch them together to make a single coherent song with perfect pitch and timing. You’re all practicing on slightly your own tempo, slightly your own key, even if you’re all working from the same base track. (You can see this in a lot of the Wellerman compilations from Tiktok, where someone always says “Soon” a moment before everyone else on “soon may the Wellerman come.”) When you have a chorus comprised of many smaller choruses that are all traveling to be together, this is what dress rehearsal is for–to get all of you onto the same tempo so you’re starting and finishing at exactly the same time. This is a thing that normally only happens after at least several days of practice, and it is an important skill that must be taught. You’re not just born knowing how to do this.

I do not know how many people at that Green Day concert were trained singers. But I do know there is no way in hell all few thousand of them were a single group–they showed up a few at a time, maybe even flying solo for the night. Now go and listen to the video again. Listen to the ends of verses and the pickups. They’re fucking crisp as hell. Everyone is starting and ending at the same place. Not even a single note off. (And yes, you can hear when it’s a single note off, even in a crowd that big. A handful of people would be enough to throw it off.) And while a few in the crowd may be off-key, so many more are on-key that the cumulative effect is of the song being on-key. This isn’t even the band they’re there to see.

They don’t just know this song, this technically-difficult song, this long and complex song by a completely different band. They know it perfectly. They know it down to the fucking note. They know it so well that they did it in perfect synchrony, without a single chance to practice.

Do you know how insane that is?

How to convey to the normies that yes this is platonic but no I’m not gonna shy away from any subtext these bitches are life partners

[qprbros]

ppl who are like “yes they’re close but they’re SIBLINGS don’t make this shippy” like yes?? i would like them to be close and platonic AND each other’s most important person.

[qprbros]

“they’re just friends” and “they’re just siblings” always gets thrown around to debunk a romantic/sexual relationship (the former usually if the relationship is queer and the latter because. well incest) but like okay??

where’s my fucking friendship fic then, huh? where’s my totally platonic but genuine and deep appreciation for each other?? do you actually want them to be platonic or do you just want to supersede their dynamic with some other romantic ship??? do you actually support platonic love or are you just amatonormative like Oh No They Can’t Love Each Other TOO Much Or They’re Obviously Fucking

when i say “this but gen” i MEAN this but gen. all the acts of love, all the prioritisation, all the stuff that normally gets seen as romantic/sexual but isn’t because they don’t feel that way but they still truly LOVE each other. i want them to be life partners, i want them to care most about each other, i want them to be each other’s most important person. i want all of that without relying on romantic or sexual attraction.

“hurr durr platonic love is important too” do you really think that or are you just bitter it sinks your preferred ship

[kiragecko]

Give me:

deep conversations

trust

reliance on each other

cuddles

roasting movies together

sharing intimate memories

teasing each other

hanging out when sleepy or grumpy or overstimulated, because THIS person isn’t too much

knowing each other well enough to catch the thing they always drop when distracted, or bring a double of something they always forget

leaning on each other

other touch, because it feels good to be in contact with someone you love

knowing when not to touch

in-jokes

talking about the stupidest things in existence

incredibly obscure topics that they’ve obviously been talking about for years

groans of anticipation at seemingly random words or actions

I WANT FRIENDS AND SIBLINGS.

this is really important to remember, even if you said something stupid and don’t feel like repeating it- it can still feel isolating to folks with hearing and auditory processing problems!

[silveryinkystar]

[ID: Screenshots of a series of tweets by twitter user saltysurvivors. The first tweet reads as follows:

Them: *says something that I can’t hear* Me: Sorry, I’m partially deaf, can you repeat that? Them: Never mind, it didn’t matter. Me: A picture of a sad-looking dog sitting in a car leaning against a window follows as a reaction to the final line of speech.

Next are a series of replies to the above tweet by the same user, transcribed in order.

One of the most heart dropping feelings to a deaf/hoh person is being told “never mind” or “it wasn’t important” when you ask someone to repeat themselves.

No matter what it was, you get left out. You are the only one in the room who doesn’t understand. Being deaf/hoh can be really isolating, especially if you are the only deaf/hoh person you know outside of the internet.

Although no one intends it this way, when they say “never mind” it feels like they are saying you don’t deserve to be in the conversation. When they say “it doesn’t matter” it feels like they’re saying that you don’t matter.

Dear hearing people, please be patient with us. I know it’s frustrating having to repeat what you just said but imagine how much more frustrating it is for that deaf/hoh person working 2x as hard and straining their ears for something you can do with ease.

Hey everyone, this thread is inclusive of people with audio processing disorder, ADHD, ADD, autism, anything else that makes it hard to hear and tune into conversations.

im usually extremely disinterested in stuff about historical rulers but i do have a soft spot for absolutely insane roman emperors who everyone fucking hated. they would just do whatever back then . it would be like 'the guy in charge has fucked every single senator's wife and has married 6 women and 3 men and has had them all executed and now he wants to dress as a horse and drag a chariot through the city while neighing and biting and kicking people" and everyone just had to deal with it until after 3-5 years when his own guards invariably kill him

one thing I’ve noticed while running an online shop is that Americans never include their country when writing their address.

I don’t mean when filling in online forms, bc that’s obviously a required element. but when emailing me for address changes for orders, they never include a country in the updated address. but I always know the country is the United States of America because literally nobody else around the world would do that.

[whomst-am-i]

Seriously? Why would you include it though? It’s extraneous information like ofc its the us
