Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).

I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.

it's called a ball python because it is a python(🐍) that ball(🟠)

nothing in the rules says a python can't play basketball

“but shrouded black figures are scary!” not when ur muslim. its the funniest fucking thing. this is labeled on pinterest under shit like “classic horror” “scary phone wallpaper”

but that LITERALLY just looks like a niqabi or someone in a jilbab. Like Look at this pic of me (from a self photoshoot, now w/o the dramatic lighting and dark background)

or this pic of me

or this pic of me

like its so funny i can’t be scared of shrouded figures it just looks like me.

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

if i saw this i would just be like “Assalam alaikum sister, dope sword you got there”

[ultmateragnarok]

I mean I think a part of the ‘scary background’ bit is the thing where the individual in question is staring directly at the viewer from a foggy pond in a dense forest. And also the literal burning halo

[the-eldritch-it-gay]

sounds like a normal Friday night. if a sister wants to go on a walk in the evening who am i to stop her. if she has a burning halo that’s the will of god.

Imagine the level of whimsy I could reach if I just had $5M in my bank account rn

This very production of Orpheus & Eurydice is now available to stream, free, for the month of June.

At the risk of sounding anti-intellectual, I think that college should be free and also not a requirement for employment outside of highly specialized career fields

[kineticpenguin]

At the risk of sounding like an effete intellectual, I do actually think you should be allowed to just take college courses indefinitely

[yourunderwaterskies]

technically you can, if you don't care about degrees.

Free Harvard courses. Free Courses from Stanford. Free Courses from MIT. Free courses from Yale. Free courses from Princeton.

Free courses on Coursera.

Free Courses on EDx Free Courses on Alison

For paid, there's The Great Courses+/Wonderium. 20$ a month for unlimited courses.

When searching, the phrases you're looking for are Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), or you can do a general search of say, "free online college courses." Oh, and so you don't get surprised like I did, have an avoid: Hillsdale College is a conservative Christian site and not a valid MOOC place. Sign up with them and you will get things like THIS IS WHY THE LEFT IS TURNING YOUR KIDS TRANS AND GAY in your inbox.

@yourunderwaterskies I wanted to say thank you so much for adding these links, seriously, they've been life-changingly helpful to me-

And I also wanted to mention that humanitarian organisations have free courses too, like the Red Cross on international humanitarian law.

Humanity in War

Learn more about the Red Cross International Humanitarian Law (IHL) Program to train policy professionals, government officials, academics,

Kaya

Kaya is a free humanitarian learning platform which offers hundreds of training opportunities across a range of key topics, including the hu

girl you are not sticking it to your landlord by pouring oil down the sink and flushing non-flushable stuff please for the love of god the city infrastructure workers are in physical pain the sewer pipes are full of pycrete fatbergs made from your cooking-oil-soaked makeup wipes ;-;

[natalieironside]

In between the credit card scams and incomprehensible mobile games and pleas to soak my feet in olive oil like we've all come to expect, a significant percentage of the tumblr "ads" I've been getting are just AI generated videos of ppl doing blood meridian shit to theirselves with knives and needles and such. I haven't looked at any of them long enough to ascertain what product and/or service is being sold.

[natalieironside]

Maybe this is a viral marketing campaign for tumblr premium. Staff is like "Pay us to block ads or you're gonna see what we do to freeloaders around here"

[natalieironside]

Tumblr is a webbed sight where you can't post tits but if you pay for ad space you can post snuff and gore

[ninefoldrin]

You can pay to force anyone to watch you walk around pissing everywhere and not be able to block you.

You can pay to advertise "the tiktok of sex."

You can advertise ANYTHING on tumblr! But god forbid a trans woman post fully clothed transition timeline photos. God forbid you show a bare boob occasionally to only be seen by a few people following you.

[basic-bamboo]

God forbid you draw a picture of Black bunnyboys with big bellies

[natalieironside]

Oh, and also there is The Bible. So much of that all over everywhere. Some group of people is paying umpteen pasquillion dollars to make sure tumblr users are aware of The Bible. Like none of the ads I've seen mention any specific congregation or denomination, it's just Hey guys here's Jesus. And here is Bible. In case u didn't know.

That's what's for sale on tumblr: Snuff, gore, scams, and the Bible. Real one-stop shop.

I must say that I am deeply deeply mistrustful of people who seem a bit too enthusiastic about increasing my awareness of The Bible, on account of all the different stuff that's happened over the past 2000 years

Remember when Lil Nas X beautifully explored his sexuality, seduced and killed the devil to the banger of all time, and instead of cheering on this openly gay and proud Black artist for his artistry and fighting back against respectability politics, suddenly said respectability politics was all the Queerest Place on the Internet cared about? Hm. Wonder what happened there.

Anyway I miss him and hope he's doing better with his mental health 🙏🏾

[creatingblackcharacters]

Like say what you want about "bad queer representation", but this was the song that made me openly and happily accept that I was bisexual. To see him up there Black and beautiful, making music that I love, absolutely killing it? Yeah. You couldn't tell me shit. This man made me proud to be out. "This will make them think we're evil for being gay" hey newsflash dawg-

This is Lady Pink, one of the only female graffiti artists active in the ’80s. Jenny Holzer, famous for her feminist postmodern “Truisms,” designed this shirt and Lady Pink wore it around NYC.

"character deserved better" (but they were never going to get it that's the stuff great tragedies are made of) vs "character deserved better" (but the writers really blew it)
