"your posts are concerning" you should look at the things i don't post.

Ryan Gosling’s career has just been one long quest to climb the Warner Bros water tower

[notaplaceofhonour]

that man has been trying to climb this tower since he was 16. he has asked multiple times, and every time they said no, but now he’s famous enough & variety was able to convince them to do a shoot on the tower. it all led here. it was all for this.

I’m obsessed with the implication that this was a coming-of-age ritual where a boy becomes a man, like a bar mitzvah

ive been thinking about how some trans spaces and media lack representation of bottom surgery and itd be nice if we could talk about and depict it more. but my attempts to formulate this into a coherent thought lead me to standing in front of the microwave idly thinking "we should normalize men with penises" as if thats a brave new frontier nobody has ever considered.

I like this post. Because it shows that sometimes, what at the surface sounds like reinforcement of the norm, is actually necessary for a minority that's not included in the norm.

Y'all have seen this post, right?

It was a vaguepost of a trans man who complained about feeling pressure to be feminine. Yet people refer to it completely outside of queer context.

People are unfazed if you hate women but if you dislike dogs they assume you're a bad person

[scissorsaint]

you really do meet some of the loveliest people talking about blood and sex on the internet

i never want to be "one of those people" who insists on being called "doctor" now that i have my phd but at the same time, if youre going to force me to put down an honorific so i can buy a transit ticket, then yeah im gonna force you to call me doctor. stop forcing me to gender myself

Nigerian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇬

I meant to have this out yesterday. Happy belated pride. :)

[sunflowersosa]

I'm glad you all like the Nigeria Pride post!

Originally, I went in worried the opposite would happen. Growing up, I've been taught that Nigeria, the country, is homophobic. (I was born in America.) But over time, I learned that there's tons of other queer Nigerians; some are out, and some are in the closet 😭.

I'm also not used to this much attention, lol

Thank you all!

I love you folk music I love you drinking songs I love you sea shanties I love you work songs I love you lullabies that have helped send countless generations of children off to sleep I love you music the poor and non-white and oppressed used to fill their difficult lives with joy I love you protest songs and coded music that helped people escape to freedom and connect with each other and keep their cultures and languages alive I fucking love you "this machine kills fascists" I love you banjos and bagpipes and all those other instruments people love to hate I love you modern artists keeping these songs alive and writing new ones I love you people writing new folk songs for fictional worlds because even people who don't exist deserve to connect through song I love you queer artists finding themselves in ancient songs I love so so so much

number one rule! never believe ur thoughts after 10 pm . unless its about The Character then believe all of your thoughts wholeheartedly

i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

[solarpunk-nightbird]

Actually, fuck the myth of the Tower of Babel. The real beautiful utopia where we can all finally truly understand each other doesn't lie in sameness or uniformity, it lies in the giant and digital Rosetta Stone we are going to build and broadcast across the entire world

"maybe the problem is you" oh the problem is definitely me, next question

[shinybulbasaur]

i dont have a youtube account so i cant leave this as a comment but i wanna share the story. okay so quinton reviews, the youtuber who made those biglong video essays about icarly and victorious, released a new video and in it he talked abt how when he was a kid they had a school assignment that was "is this statement a fact, or an opinion?" and the statement was "this guys favorite color is blue" and he (CORRECTLY) was like "this is a FACT, the fact is that their favorite color is blue" and the teacher was just "yeah so i was looking for opinion". and he still thinks abt it to this day. and i have my own one of those, where it was an assignment that was "draw on the picture to make it match the statements" and one statement was "steve needs shoes". so of COURSE i couldnt draw shoes on steve, otherwise he wouldnt need shoes! and i got in trouble with the teacher over it, and it got to the point where my parents had to get involved and eventually had to tell me "look. sometimes teachers are wrong and its better to just do what will make them happy even if you know theyre wrong". and i feel like it says a lot about me that i still remember this lesson with such clarity

i've been phasing the phrase 'google it' out of my vocabulary and going back to 'look it up'. fuck you youve lost your generic trademark privileges
