It's hard being a single mom of four to eight kids (she's bad at math)

New headcannon: everyone in that song is gay except the Piano Man who has no idea he’s playing at a gay bar and the staff and regulars have a betting pool on how long he’ll take to finally figure it out. So far John is ahead.

“The manager gives me a smile ‘cause he knows that it’s me they’ve been coming to see” also implies that the Piano Man is possibly an incredibly attractive but oblivious himbo, and if you listen to the rest of it imagining that, this all fits a little too well.

spacedandelions

this makes too much sense. Also, the full quote is “Now John at the bar is a friend of mine. He gets me my drinks for free. And he’s quick with a joke or to light up your smoke. But there’s someplace that he’d rather be” Yes, your bed, he wants to be on your bed honey, that’s not a joke, he is flirting with you.

Lighting another man’s cigarette is some old-school gay cruising.

Steve From “Blue’s Clues” Just Checked In On “The Kids He Raised” And Gave Them A Safe Space To Offload After Donald Trump’s Election Victory.

Interestingly, Steve doesn’t even speak in the 59-second video, but appears to give viewers a comforting presence as he enters the outdoors shot and “offers them” a hot drink.

And many of the comments thanked Steve for offering them this safe space, with one person writing: “As a trans man, I felt this to my core. I took the breath with you then started bawling. Thank you.”

“The man who is a staple of my childhood didn’t say a single word and it brought me to tears. Steve, thank you. I don’t know where we go from here,” somebody else wrote.

Another popular comment reads: “He didn’t say A WORD and said everything at the same time. This man should be guarded at all costs.”

“Neither of my dads checked in on me today. But you did Steve. Thank you,” one more acknowledged.

“So much responsibility on Steve’s hands to make sure we are okay. We need to make sure he’s doing okay too. I mean I’m not doing great, but he’s still looking after the kids he raised,” somebody else added.

While another concluded: “I bet you didn’t think you’d still be raising us all these years later, Steve, but thank you for still being here.”

I met Steve at Comic Con a couple years ago. I told him, “thank you for being there for me as a kid when it felt like no one else was. He responded “no, thank you for all your help; without you, I’d still be trying to figure out what Blue wanted for her snack!” and I had to try very hard not to cry, he was so nice.

“Many people seem to think it foolish, even superstitious, to believe that the world could still change for the better. And it is true that in winter it is sometimes so bitingly cold that one is tempted to say, ‘What do I care if there is a summer; its warmth is no help to me now.’ Yes, evil often seems to surpass good. But then, in spite of us, and without our permission, there comes at last an end to the bitter frosts. One morning the wind turns, and there is a thaw. And so I must still have hope.”

Anyone else feel like it’s been one of those days since 2019?

why do we have butt cheeks i dont understand why did we evolve this way

what use do butt cheeks have

cuddlebabies

oh my god I HAVE THIS KNOWLEDGE

fun fact: butt-cheeks are one of the things that make us superior to other animals okay note that other apes do not have butt-cheeks

okay don’t quote me on this because I only did sixthform-bio and I’m sure of forgotten loads of stuff but here’s the down-low

back when we were evolving from ape to human, one of the most important things that happened was when our spine started meeting our brains at a sort of 90 degree angle instead of like 45 degrees, which meant that we could straighten up and walk on two legs which was a pretty rad development

except alas oh no our muscles weren’t built to allow us to walk around on two legs because that requires a sort of twisty motion of your hips as opposed to whatever the fuck it is everything else does AND SO ape-people started evolving with longer, narrower waists so that our bodies could twist with every footstep and we could strut along the fashionable catwalk that is neanderthal evolution

but then once this had happened, people realised that we had an advantage over other animals and we would be better at chasing and killing them but we weren’t very good at running

so that’s when we developed the glutenus maximus which is a really badass-sounding name for the muscle in your derriere which helps us to support our spine in an upright position so we don’t get tired, and helps the legs to rotate nicely so that we can run, and has a nice big fat storage around it to help us get energy so that we can run

and that, basically, is the butt-cheek

tl;dr - butt-cheeks were the result of thousands of years of natural selection so that we could run fast and slaughter things

lovebirdstiel

thank you so much for such a fabulous, informative and detailed explanation on the evolution of the butt

i feel enlightened and empowered to know my butt is for such a worthwhile purpose, so thank you

IME, Disney adults devote themselves to one specific company, Renne Faire adults devote themselves to a community sustained by a lot of small, independent artists and performers.

So, fuck yes they are different.

cephalopodvictorious

Disney Adults are about chasing childhood nostalgia through consumerism, Renne Faire Adults are chasing a sense of whimsy and escapism through creation and community

captainlordauditor

Yeah, this is also true, and I'd add that

a)at least my faire is not exclusively aimed at children or childhood. There are childrens programs, yeah, storytellers and such, but there's also really bawdy singers and side show performers.

b)when renne faire people do buy things, they care about what they're buying and who they're buying it from. Last weekend I heard a conversation between two rennies about the pros and cons of two clothing shops - at one you have to inspect every seam to make sure it's good quality, but the other one is owned by religious nuts.

If anything, renne faires are the heirs of circuses.

fittingoutjane

I've worked faires. This is correct.

There's a sense of community there. The folks working there have their own children around, helping out, "helping" out, playing with the guests' children and adding to the fun.

I just put on my CRAIC Show shirt after a shower and I told the spousal person it's almost Renaissance Festival time! Ours is in October and November.

Also earlier today I read this article about the history of the festival:

The first of these festivals debuted in the early 1960s, serving as a prime example of the United States’ burgeoning counterculture.

It was created in opposition to McCarthyism. And the last paragraph of the article directly contrasts it to Disney parks.

Writing in 2007, Chicago Sun-Times columnist Neil Steinberg perhaps summarized Renaissance festivals’ appeal best: “If theme parks, with their pasteboard main streets, reek of a bland, safe, homogenized, white-bread America, the Renaissance fair is at the other end of the social spectrum, a whiff of the occult, a flash of danger and a hint of the erotic. Here, they let you throw axes. Here are more beer and bosoms than you’ll find in all of Disney World.”

redflawedglass

This article is largely based on a 2013 book, Well Met: Rennaissance Fairs and the American Counterculture by Rachel Lee Rubin. I have it and it has a lot of other anecdotes including recruiting a pottery-making commune to vend at the fair, interviews with long time rennies and crafters, and the story of how many "Rennaissance Festivals" ended up owned by a single commercial company, Rennaissance Entertainment Productions, Inc, starting in the late 80s.
