I love birds, cats, dragons, and any combination of the two. Fandom list, as it were, below the cut.

Minnesota’s Giant Rainbow and Leather Pride Flags

June 28, 1998. Both flags measured approximately 50 feet wide and 75 feet long.

[ryuutchi]

Friendly reminder that the leather flag predates almost every other flag. We owe this community to leather daddies and kinksters

[nightmarechamillian]

In the era of corporate sanitization never forget it was leather daddies and S&M folks who protected some of the earliest pride parades.

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

[peach-pot]

I think some people on this post don’t know what the phrase “don’t put all your eggs in one basket” means… or why it means that.

some hyper famous artists like Van Gogh transcend overratedness and become underrated because they're so normalized. Like I'll look at a van Gogh and I'm like wait this really is amazing you guys don't get it

[headspace-hotel]

Shakespeare is like this

[insufferablepirate]

Every time I see a Van Gogh that’s not one of his better known pieces it absolutely blows me away

Have you seen this shit my liege? smh unreal

[veryfastnighuncatchable]

So I know it's a joke in the Les Mis fandom that Javert is portrayed as like the only cop in all of France, but I think it would be hilarious if modern fanfic writers took this to ridiculous extremes

Gavroche's school is doing a "say no to drugs" campaign, now imagine his surprise when Javert the DARE ambassador walks in the door.

Bossuet gets pulled over for going 4 miles over the speed limit and his explanation dies on his lips when he sees Javert the traffic cop step out of the cop car.

Some asshole tries to fight Bahorel over an airplane seat. Surprise! Javert the air marshal is here.

Marius calls emergency services because of a rabid raccoon in his backyard and Javert the animal control officer shows up to help.

Jehan parallel parks illegally and Javert the meter maid tickets them an outrageous amount.

I think this has comedic potential.

anyway every time i post about ocd people start tagging the post like "wait this isn't normal?" and i always like to remind people that intrusive thoughts are normal. pretty much everyone experiences them. "what if i jumped off this balcony?" "what if i crashed my car right now for no reason?" "what if i yelled a curse word in the middle of this wedding?" everyone thinks these things from time to time. it's disordered thinking when the distress starts becoming intolerable.

"am i normal" is not as helpful question to ask as "are intrusive thoughts causing me frequent distress?" and "would my life be better if i could find a way to feel less distress/learn to tolerate the distress?"

millions and millions of people have ocd. having ocd is normal. you're normal. but what if you could feel better? what if living everyday in your own mind and body could be tolerable? is that something you want? need? these are questions to ask.

*asks a question* *gets an answer* “im not reading that”

[cheaphalloweencostume]

i love that it’s a carefully worded, well-written, non-inflammatory answer too. which asker wouldn’t know because they won’t read it. i love website

the other day I read a compelling point that many instances described as illiteracy would actually be more aptly described as aliteracy, meaning an individual has the ability to read but simply chooses not to. great example here, awesome work.

[vanglaggle]

u need to draw fatter arms it can't all go to the butt and thighs #SORRY

I'm Sorry 😢

[anglaised]

i think what confuses me the most about how white liberals have knee jerk reactions to poc not tolerating fascist is if the fascist just didnt exist we would not have these issues like the world would quite literally be a better place if everyone was in lockstep and agreed “anyone who thinks xyz minority is subhuman is not allowed among us in any capacity” like it is not a hard ask, that is the lowest bar in the world u would think we are asking them to split a atom or something, they just dont see how believing other people are not people based on race is inherently violent like there is no way for that belief to be held without you being a danger to other people

[anglaised]

literally like its crazy it’s crazy to be constantly told you have to shake hands and move on about people who are saying to your face they see no difference between you and a monkey deserving of being put in a cage. Over Skin Color.
