Wide-Eyed and Hopeless

“’Love Each Other Constantly’: the words painted over the doors as you exit the basilica.  Not because you will win the kingdom of God or save your marriage or prevent the pain from coming, but because love is the practice, the prayer, the Jetway. After all, just look at the sky.” - Jennifer Sinor (Letters Like the Day)

I want my gay rights now! - Marsha P. Johnson (NYC Pride Parade, 1973)

[paper-mario-wiki]

do not forget the patron saint of these weeks that we celebrate ourselves proudly and openly in the streets

her name was Marsha P Johnson, and we have her to thank for so much.

remember, the first Pride was a riot, and she was one of the brave souls who endured it to help carve the path which so many of us walk today. she helped found several activist groups regarding LGBT safety and wellbeing. and she was absolutely radiant, too.

thank you, Marsha. we remember you.

There is no amount of money, oil, or gold that is worth more than having bees, trees, and clean water.

[Video description: Gritty is turning the crank on a flagpole to raise the Progress Pride Flag. He gesticulates angrily that the flag is not blowing in the wind, then gestures offscreen. The flag begins blowing. As Gritty begins raising the flag more, the camera pans out to show a man in a suit and sunglasses, looking like a stern Secret Service agent, is holding a leafblower that points at the flag. End description.]

I can't stress enough how much I miss StumbleUpon

[zevveli]

StumbleUpon once sent me to a supercut of Lion King, Lion King 1 1/2, and Lion King II, the main edit being that the scenes of Lion King and Lion King 1 1/2 were interspersed so that they happened in the order they actually happened.

[redpandarascal]

stumbleupon not existing anymore can be directly traced to a dramatic decline in my mental health, I could do a thesis on it.

[musashi]

bestie stumbleupon very much still exists its just called cloudhiker now. i use it all the time.

mini compilation of suggestions from the replies:

The Bored Button - "Press the Bored Button and be bored no more."

The Useless Web

Cloudhiker - "Discover the most interesting, weird and awesome websites of the Internet" (not really a rebrand, it's a different person running it but they have the same intention in mind)

Astronaut.io - "These videos come from YouTube. They were uploaded in the last week and have titles like DSC 1234 and IMG 4321. They have almost zero previous views. They are unnamed, unedited, and unseen (by anyone but you)."

Marginalia - "This is an independent DIY search engine that focuses on non-commercial content, and attempts to show you sites you perhaps weren't aware of in favor of the sort of sites you probably already knew existed."

hating yourself because of the past won’t actually change it, so maybe forgiving yourself because now you know better is better than torturing yourself over it again and again. at a certain point, you have to accept what happened and your regrets about it and move on and take whatever lessons you’ve learnt with you, since every mistake has something to teach us. being cruel towards yourself doesn’t make the situation any better and it will only hurt you more and more. forgive yourself for not knowing better and forgive yourself for torturing yourself by ruminating on your regrets over and over again.

Losing my mind over this

[busket]

conservatives suddenly become fucking hippies when one of their own dies. "i cant believe the disgusting and macabre reaction from the left. we should never celebrate someone's death. all human life is precious 😔" meanwhile the guy theyre mourning caused incomprehensible suffering, and his death is a net positive for humanity and life on earth

when IT finally happens the moral grandstanding from the right is going to be absolutely insufferable. just remember the deaths that these lowlifes celebrated over the past few years; single mothers, doctors, transgender teenagers, innocent people. remember the people that THEY mocked and laughed when they died, and dont fucking believe them when they try to tell you they have the moral high ground. dont let them make you feel bad for being happy when he dies. and you fucking party
