I have many problems

And the social stigma surrounding Second breakfast is one.I like LOTR, 'nuff said

[utopians]

Throwback to 2016 when I told my sister “they’re making another planet earth” and she just like. raised an eyebrow and said in this absolutely deadpan condescending tone “and where are they getting the dirt for it?” and I had to specify I meant planet earth the nature documentary not the celestial body

[charminglyantiquated]

hey guys can you help me find that old portrait of a girl holding a little painting of a naked dude and cracking up about it?? I want to say it’s by Rembrandt but that’s probably not right

[runwildwithme]

It’s “Smiling Girl, a Courtesan, Holding an Obscene Image” by Gerard van Honthorst!!

[charminglyantiquated]

It’s the best painting that exists

[earhartsease]

I don’t know about you, but I really want to know what’s written on there - wait, I found a higher res image, can anyone translate this?

also it’s kind of an amazing little vignette

[kipplekipple]

Hahahaa

Okay it says “who knows my arse from behind” and I will never recover from this

[probablynotcavolo]

OKAY— so i LOVE this painting, it’s in the St. Louis Art Museum, and on a tour i found out the story. it’s not a naked dude, at all. It’s actually a smaller depiction of her, she’s a sex worker! She’s showing off her advertising for her services. It’s a really cool historical example of sex work, and a gorgeous painting to see in person.

[sew-birb]

So that grin is her going:

“That’s me!!”

[cc-cuttlefishculler]

its really telling where you learned about lapis lazuli. put yours in the tags

[tetrapodomorpha]

when metalheads stopped wearing sassy little crop tops we lost something precious as a society. we should reverse this immediately

[hockeyheart]

I fucking love old books. Will someone look at some digital ephmera and say they love it, one day? what would that be like?

[weepingwitch]

it's so funny when ppl"s defence of no fat characters existing in video games is "uh they wouldn't be able to physically do the things the character does" like damn i hate to break it to you but skinny bitches can't physically cast a fireball in real life either but nobody has a problem with that

[ullathynell]

I’ve been posting some of my old Tolkien themed watercolor illustrations in my instagram lately so why not here as well, for old times sake. Lil hobbitses heading to adventure! Forests! Ents! The gaiety of the elvish feast!

how does this get even worse

[latent-thoughts]

Omg so many additions since I last saw this post! 😂😂😂

[rosalysaoirse]

It’s funny but incredibly telling how entitled/ignorant/insensitive some of these people are… idk if it’s an education gap or purposeful ignorance.

[mastreworld]

The really bewildering thing to me is that I remember when you needed to get up and pull a dictionary off the shelf, or visit a library to look up the facts you needed. Now people have all kinds of information literally at their fingertips and they can’t be bothered to use it.

[wolfpawn]

[malicemismanager]

Oh dear gods, it’s gotten worse

[fierceawakening]

When you know politics but no facts

[anarchistmemedistro]

don’t take people too seriously on the internet

[captaindibbzy]

This hits different when combined with that “Americans don’t learn other countries exist till they’re in 5th Grade” post from the other day.

[dzamie]

Demily recently got another one lads

Also, I love that, in the sign language one, it seems like the last image might’ve been a gif of “fuck you,” screenshot at the perfect time to let you know they were about to sign “fuck you”

[rickhunolt-deactivated20260329]

As a romanian person I gotta add this one too

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

This is my favourite post on this website

[unsolids-your-snake]

I have literally had people tell me that I’m a gross appropriator for learning sign language while not deaf.

I sometimes cannot speak, but leaving that aside, what the FUCK lol

[ohnoitstbskyen]

I still remember the guy who got mad at me because I spoke about the cultural role of the Norse gods in my life and my culture and insisted that I should be “proud of my Christian heritage instead” and quite simply would not believe me when I told him I was from Scandinavia because “that doesn’t exist anymore.”

[hugtheteadrinkthekitten]

someone please edit that map of europe with the spain void to also have a void for the whole of scandinavia

[dduane]

Every now and then I just have to reblog this.

(while particularly loving: “Gender of the Day: Wales”)

(also “Port O’Rico”)

[yeomanrand]

“You can’t ofload your boat there, man. That’s Rico’s Port. Yeah, Port o’Rico!”

[the-haiku-bot]

“You can’t ofload your

boat there, man. That’s Rico’s Port.

Yeah, Port o’Rico!”

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

[pati79]

I should add here the actual linguistics blog post I read the other day going “you should ask people if it’s ok to learn their endangered language. The answer sometimes is yes sometimes it’s no” absolutely refusing to even notice the sheer stupidity of the whole statement.

[stephrc79]

Don’t learn other languages, you might offend someone for being able to speak to them.

[unthrash-deactivated20151110]

rocky horror is the worst and is also transmisogynistic can we please finally get over this shit movie

[fagtrender]

ok but like the writer is transgender nonbinary and the language used in the play was the preferred language by trans people of that time can we not deny parts of our history because we’ve evolved since then thanks

[minim-calibre]

So fucking much this.

PS, youth of today: you’ll be saying the same damn thing about art from this time before too long, for good or for ill. Terminology will, in fact, change. Definitions will, in fact, shift. It always does, they always do. 

PPS, it is pretty much impossible to overstate how life-alteringly important this movie was to kids who didn’t conform to standard expectations of gender and sexuality, back in the day. Especially when back in the day was the mid-to-late 1980s, when the only queers you saw on TV were neutered AIDS tragedies, Bowie was playing straight, and even Elton John was married to a woman, and midnight showing of RHPS were pretty much the only place that felt like home. It was mental life raft for a lot of people.

I was one of them.

#the queer youth of today has forgotten all its history and is spitting on its ancestors and i hate it (via @gaythreats​)

beautifully phrased

[cobra-creampuff]

ALSO IT’S A SATIRE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN “OFFENSIVE” PORTRAYAL IT’S MAKING FUN OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF US IT’S EXAGGERATING THEIR IDEAS OF US TO THE POINT OF LUDICROUSNESS THAT’S THE ACTUAL POINT

[earhartsease]

also you fail to understand just how many, many people were allowed to be queer for Tim Curry and how many doors that began to open

we say this as someone who was in several closets and first saw the film when we were 18 and that was 1981 ffs this film MATTERED

“Abolish Golf”

Sticker spotted in Chicago, Illinois.

[ralfmaximus]

A typical golf course uses 200 million gallons of water a year. There are over 16,300 golf courses in the United States.

That's nuts.

[chaoticneurodivergent]

Ngl I hate golf and I'm all for this. They put a golf course in our public park at the expense of hundreds of centuries-old live oak trees. Half of the walk around the park you're just looking at an empty golf course. Like 2 people want to play golf. So annoying.

[sew-birb]

Golf was a game developed in Scotland, where it rains up to 250 days of the year, and where the courses use very hard-wearing grass. The sand in the bunkers is because it used to be played on the coast - these traditional courses are called "Links" courses. The top Links course in Scotland, Royal Dornoch, uses no mains water at all. They have their own rainwater collection system.

It wasn't originally intended to be played in the middle of a desert on lush green turf that takes thousands of gallons of water a day to maintain. Unless you can keep the course alive using only rainwater collection, it shouldn't exist.

tolkien fans on tumblr are u still out there!! like/reblog if u are im trying to find you!! <3

Why I wouldn't make a better ringbearer than Frodo:

I wouldn't be able to decide which path to take, whereas Frodo quickly decides to go through the mines without looking to anyone for guidance. Like well done, kid, my undecisive ass could never
