your blog is like a weimar party ramping up and waiting to let loose, but everyone isn't sure when that moment will come

The absinthe is flowing, the jazz is bumping, there is much pain in the world but not in this room.

Listen, I have LOTS of problems with what is currently in style but you will never, ever catch me complaining about those purse charms where it's just a tiny but still functional version of the larger item. Like a backpack charm on a backpack. The person who thought of this small thing of whimsy deserves an ant-free picnic on a bright, sunny day.

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

[candycoloredwolf]

Anyone gonna mention how this guy actually preformed live with Carly Rae Jepsen?

I was thinking of reblogging this again just because the original video is still amazing, but then I see the second video and lost my mind. The upgraded fan, the body glitter, the sheer fact that he got to do this with the actual singer.

Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.

At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.

Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”

I wake up. I check the news. I read an article about how antisemitism has increased yet again in a country. I clock into work. I go to lunch and wonder if my subway guy who is always excited to see me and writes my name with a little design every day would still treat me the same if he knew i was jewish. Clock out. I walk home through alley ways to avoid walking past people who have explicity called for the death of jews. I spend some times on my hobbies, maybe see a friend. Eat dinner. Check social media to see people local to me spread antisemitism, and maybe i even ruminate on the antisemitism i experienced irl that week. I go to sleep. I wake up, check the news and see an article about how another country also has had an increase in antisemitism. I clock into work....

saw someone unironically say that they can't defend palestine without getting yelled at because "everything is apparently an antisemitic stereotype" and its like. no. every talking point from antisemites you are parroting is an antisemitic stereotype. because they are antisemites.

there are things you can say to criticize israel that are not offensive, but for some reason those critiques do not seem to be gathering the same traction as easily googlable dogwhistles and pervasive misinformation that has existed for hundreds of years. i wonder why.

don’t fall for the age gap lesbian gifsets all hacks does is continuously demand you care about stand up comedy, an insulting and impossible thing to do

80s misogyny saved the Star Wars galaxy because Darth Vader wasted all his time and effort trying to convince his starry-eyed gayboy empath son to become an evil space fascist when if anyone had any point asked his daughter “hey do you ever just want to KILL these people” she would’ve been shooing lightning out of her hands to prove a point in like 10 minutes

still caring about internet friends you lost touch with years ago is so embarrassing. yeah i had a deam we met up irl recently. the last time we spoke was maybe 7-8 years ago. i still wear the laces we randomly decided was a sign of our friendship. i dont know what any of your socials are or if youre even active on any. sometimes i see someones art resemble yours and i wonder for hours. do you still go by that name you chose? whenever i see it i wonder if its you. we couldve passed each other in this vastness a thousand times and not have a clue.

we were lonely kids having fun together. do you remember?

you can post on tumblr even when you're trying to take a break from social media it literally doesn't count. it's like pepsi max, or pescatarianism
