Daniel Arsham & Hajime Sorayama Sculpture: Holding Hands (2019)

[emjoyy]

Me literally every time I talk to anyone: Black Sails is the greatest tv show ever made. It is the pinnacle of queer representation. It is the ultimate example of storytelling as a narrative theme and medium for the story. It is about queer people with blood on their hands, fighting to destroy the systems of oppression that want them dead. It is about intersectionality. It’s about systems of power. It’s about radical liberation. It’s about gay pirates. It is poetic cinema, it is high art. Flint with blood on his face, Silver’s transformation, Miranda’s everything, Anne’s sexuality, Max’s quest for power, Jack being Jack, Eleanor’s fate, Vane’s indenture, Madi’s speech to Woodes Rogers, MEDITATIONS BY MARCUS AURELIUS/ KNOW NO SHAME -

My dad told me that he has a coworker who’s a trans woman. She was married to this girl before her transition and they remained together after it. Everyone at work respects her pronouns. My dad is in a chiefing position at his office and he told me that nobody jokes behind her back. She and her wife have two cute dogs together and I felt like I should share this story bc I want everyone to know that this positivity and respect exists and you deserve it. Don’t ever dare think that you don’t because you do.

[letitrainathousandflames-archive]

Update: they have three dogs now

[ziggy-scardust]

There is a non-binary person I work with who uses they/them pronouns. Their pronouns are in their email signature and the only time I’ve heard someone not use them was one person who had previously worked with them at a time they used different pronouns, and he immediately corrected himself mid-sentence, looked embarrassed, and proceeded. I’ve never heard him or anyone else not use their pronouns again, and my workplace runs the gamut from eighty-year-olds to twenty-year-olds. No one ever discusses their pronouns or anything about their identity behind their back unless it’s to choose a bar or restaurant to hang out (in non-pandemic times) and say “no, we can’t go there, that place doesn’t have a gender neutral restroom for them”. They have been married to a delightful person for ten years and (in non-pandemic times) she would often join for social activities. They have a toddler who is the cutest thing on this earth. They’re an absolutely brilliant engineer and I have learned a great deal from them as they’re much more experienced than I am, and I appreciate how patient they’ve been when I’ve made mistakes. Again, positivity and respect exists and you deserve it every bit as much as these people. Don’t ever forget it.

I'm listening to this song on a loop for last few days.

[learn2anarchy]

Probably reading too much into it but this video has always filled me with such indescribable longing. Like the climax of a sports movie where everyone else has turned away from our hero facing impossibly long odds except for the one die hard with his fists clenched whispering, “come on you son of a bitch, you can do it.” But “it” in this case is outrunning the toxic nightmare of urban sprawl. I want him to run so fast he breaks free from the things we’ve done to this world. I want him to clear the city limits and find the forests that don’t really exist anymore. To gambol and forage and rest in primeval bliss. I want him to make it.

[spacelazarwolf]

white trans ppl from liberal suburbia in blue states will go on and on about how scary it is to be a trans person right now but the second they encounter a trans person from a red state they’ll be like “ummmmm why would you live in such an uncivilized place lmao maybe you shouldn’t have voted for republicans like if you don’t like how conservative it is then just leave” as if these states aren’t populated by black and brown people who face intense voter suppression and poor people who can’t just up and leave. not to mention the fact that all those articles y’all are sharing about the state of trans safety? those are in our states and we will be the ones who go down first. so instead of laughing at us dumb hicks from your liberal safe haven, consider instead shutting the fuck up and actually doing something to help us. because they’re coming for you next.

[the-one-eyed-seer]

Also maybe I just don’t want to abandon my home, my friends, my community. It’s not just about “I can’t leave”, I have a right to be myself in my home.

[spacelazarwolf]

!!!!!!!!!!

[rainbowfoxes]

It's also like... it will never get better if we keep running from the problem? These areas will never, ever improve if we abandon ship and leave them to their own devices. We cannot bank on the federal government swooping in and making them change. If we want these places to be safe, we have to put in the time and effort to make them safe, and you can't do that from a state away.

And this applies to everything! We cannot fight queerphobia in all it's various forms by running. We can't fight racism, or religious discrimination, or sexism, or ableism, or anything else by running. Because when you cede ground to people like that they WILL take it, and eventually you'll run out of places to run to.

#queerness#there's also the fact that there will ALWAYS be new queer kids being born into these communities#and those kids won't be able to leave#and they deserve better than what we got in the same situation

no idea if this is true, but it feels true

[pleasedontsqueezetheshhh]

I heard an interview, can’t remember the psychologist, but he was explaining this idea and encouraging people to stop and take a deep breath and literally drink in small moments like you’re a dryass plant when something is ever satisfactory, positive, mildly successful, randomly joyful so your brain can code and integrate that experience because our natural lizard brain will quickly tape over it with mostly unnecessary negative survival shit. Sounds dumb and dorky but sometimes I remember this when I’m feeling good about a moment because our cave brains are still catching up with modern life without sabertooths. I like that it’s not just a pollyanna gosh just be more positive thing but more of a legit brain wiring phenomenon can be gradually hacked through small behavioral changes.

[elidyce]

Another super important one: Take the time to tell yourself, when something you did or bought or decided works out “That was a good decision and I’m glad I made it! Go me!” 

Seriously, it can have a huge impact. suddenly you go from remembering nothing but bad decisions to adding in a series of Excellent Choices You Feel Good About, and it makes things so much better.

here is the link to the petition, i think since it is a parliamentary petition it should only be signed by canadian citizens, but if I am wrong please correct me.

Yes, only Canadians can sign.

If you can’t sign, please reblog to spread the word.

I haven’t listened to the audio, because it’s too perfect seeing characters emotionally move their mouth with tears while being completely silent.

You…. you REALLY need to listen to the audio though.

[upontheshelfreviews]

There’s a hidden level of brilliance in this moment:

Chef Boyardee is known today for his cheap out-of-the-can pasta, but in his native Italy he was a renowned expert chef. He was reduced to the face of microwaveable eateries after his death.

Sound like anyone else from this movie?

[ketchuprocket]

Chef Ettore Boiardi, known today as Chef Hector Boyardee, was a key player in keeping poverty struck families fed for a low price, before he ever came out with the canned pasta line. He would jar his sauce in milk bottles and provide bags of dry noodles for families in Cleveland, Ohio’s Little Italy sector. It was during the Depression, and pasta could be made in large portions at a low cost. This was the start of his venture. 

After years of success, he eventually opened his canning facility, opened his restaurant “Il Giardino d’Italia” in New York, and helped feed the Allies during the war. Everyone always glazes over this part of his life, especially the Cleveland part. He lived here. He DIED here. He’s BURIED HERE. My mother took care of him at the nursing home she worked for in her early 20′s when he was ailing and spoke of nothing but the kindness he and his family radiated when they were there. Chef Boiardi was an immigrant with a dream and was always there to help those in need, because he knew what it was like to be in that position. Never let that go.   

[jabberwockypie]

I had thought he was a fictionalized mascot, like Aunt Jemima or Betty Crocker, but this is really interesting.

“Proud of his Italian heritage, Boiardi sold his products under the brand name Chef Boy-Ar-Dee so that his American customers could pronounce his name properly.“

And if you have a name that isn’t “standard” in America, that is a Mood.
