given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
Archery x flower arranging
This was actually really fun!
Anyway, don’t forget I’m still raising money to test a bunch of things in a suit of armour:
Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.

The beautiful art of Thomas Blackshear II
i went to his website and saw even more great art! sharing some more which i particularly appreciated
i got called ableist for this post because someone said she might be autistic and this was just her stimming i love this website i could never leave
Okay so, I have kept out of this because I dont like, think either side is wrong to have their feelings, but here, I gotta say this:
Pride wasn't meant to be family friendly. It started when trans woman of color was 100% done and decided to throw a brick. It started with police violence in a queer space and a riot that shut down the village. It started loud, boisterously not safe for anyone, by people who a lot of us honey nut queerios today would call "problematic". Not because they were "bad" people but because the language and needs of the communities has changed dramatically.
Pride has, like many not-cis/straight spaces, traditionally been a rejection of sexually and expressively repressed society. So, frankly, I disagree with the idea that it should be a child friendly space. That is like insisting that Rocky Horror shows should all be bauldlerized to a G rating and live shows all cancelled. (RHPS has Other Problems, but that is a different post I have already made)
Should there be a big celebratory kid safe space for pride? Hell yes. Make it a thing, run it, bring it to life!
But the Pride Parade isn't that space, any more than Mardis Gras. There are public events that are not meant for kids. So don't take them.
Or trust your kids to understand way more than you are comfortable with. But seriosly, maybe wait until puberty or so, huh?
In North Jersey, just outside of NYC, we have a huge family friendly pride festival intentionally scheduled to not conflict with the Pride parade. It was started, according to their FAQ, by “moms who couldn't manage a double stroller down Fifth Ave. and wanted to attend a Pride Festival with a more shorts-and-tees vibe and maybe fewer assless chaps (no judgment, we love bare tushies!) because....kids.”
The event is very much kid and family focused. There are a lot of organizations that provide support, programming, etc. for queer kids (especially trans kids with how things have been lately). There are resources for parents to learn about supporting their kids as they explore their identity and how they fit into the world around them. There is food and music and face painting and a ton of incredible vendors selling everything rainbow. They do a dance competition divided by ages, including playing a round of freeze dance for those 5 and under!
This is a family friendly pride event. There’s lots of kids of queer parents, kids and teens who are queer themselves, and families who want to spend the day out in the sun with a picnic blanket, listening to music and seeing friends.
This entire event is not at odds with the Pride Parade. It complements it. Because our community needs BOTH to exist, not to replace one with another.
New York City ballet production of Midsummer Nights Dream
The fact this isn't a painting is a testament to one of the greatest feats of set design and production I've ever seen.
My god just look at this! The lighting, set design, photography... I've just never seen anything like it.
This is from 1966 and you can see over a hundred photos on the NYPL digital collections website. It is absolutely gorgeous. These are just a few of my favourites.
Plus Puck's face here:
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
The Miseducation of Cameron Post (2018) dir. Desiree Akhavan
STAR TREK: THE ORIGINAL SERIES (1966-1969) 1.04 “The Naked Time”
it's tempting to just dismiss heath ledger's joker on account of how it altered society for the worse and inspired a generation of men who in the absolute best case scenario are only so annoying you'd rather eat your own ears than spend even a minute around them but then you sit down and actually watch the dark knight again and fuckkkkkk...he actually kinda crushed that shit like a hydraulic press
Put in the tags the completely finished (whether cancelled or wrapped up on its own terms) TV series that has YOUR perfect ending, however you define that
Please don’t include huge spoilers for the specifics of the endings, and it would also make me happy if people don’t use this to talk about the shows whose endings they hated
tbh i love hear me outs but i also love the opposite of hear me outs where it’s like nearly everyone thinks they’re fuckable except you
count me outs
Adopting that immediately.
like the return of the r slur and horrible fatphobia and gay jokes and the misogyny oh my fucking god can we talk about the misogyny. we have culturally regressed to the eary 2010s but when you try to call people out they’re liek ohhh it’s just a joke 😂. i’m sorry but i don’t want to hear jokes about pedophilia or about rape or about racism that is not funny and it never will be. everything is ironic and if you get offended it’s cuz you’re a crazy femnazi who cares too much. because it’s apparently uncool to take anything serious or do anything with actual sincerity anymore
Everything used to be 20 dollars and now that I finally have 20 dollars everything is now 200 dollars
