Strange haunted photo where Winifred looks like she's a painting

I have placed her in a more fitting setting

For the first time in my tenure on tumblr, it's "THAT'S A PHOTOGRAPH?" and not "THAT'S AN OIL PAINTING?"

We visited an old glass factory that was converted into a park and the photos can get very surreal.

[cryptotheism]

fun fact: the Mr. Bankston here is Mark Bankston, the same lawyer who absolutely ruined Alex Jones during the Sandy Hook trial.

[ex-libris-craux]

how in the fuck did the muskrat's attorney pass the bar

[ruffboi-mags]

Mark Bankston is gonna make me fucking SWOON.

[bemusedlybespectacled]

I don't think Mark can ever top "INDEED, MR. JONES, INDEED" and "AND THAT IS HOW I KNOW YOU LIED TO ME" from the first Sandy Hook trial in Texas (not to be confused with Chris Mattei, the attorney in the Connecticut trial), but this part

MR. SPIRO: Do you give these lectures at all of your depositions? MR. BANKSTON: I do, and you can watch them.

is ESPECIALLY hilarious to me having listened to multiple depositions Mark has had to take in the Sandy Hook case, where he has needed to lecture EVERY. SINGLE. ATTORNEY. at some point in the case about how they're violating Texas Rule XYZ, because they all, to a one, did something seriously ethically questionable during the deposition.

like, YOU CAN WATCH/LISTEN TO HIS DEPOS. HE DOES HAVE TO GIVE THOSE LECTURES EVERY TIME. IT'S NOT EVEN A JOKE.

REGULAR YAOI ISN’T ENOUGH!!! I NEED THEM TO SPIRITUALLY MERGE AT A COSMIC LEVEL!!!!!!!!!

[tlirsgender]

Lately I've been of the increasingly urgent opinion that more people need to embrace nonbinary identity because shit's getting weird watching people Behave in the wake of the last few discourse cycles

[tlirsgender]

Incomplete list of people who should just try being nonbinary instead of whatever this is:

Trans guys who insist they aren't really men and find it distressing to be perceived as men

Transmascs who "want to be trans women," clearly exhibiting misguided ideas about how transfemininity works, aiming for a Secret Third Gender and landing at the most culturally recognizable figure of one (transmisogynistic caricatures)

The trans women I've seen talking about "not being allowed to be nonbinary," starting from entirely valid critiques about the dominant ideas of what nb people look like (skinny afab white etc) and erasure and etc, but landing on this weird conclusion that you simply Can't? Be Nonbinary? I promise you can. Most of the people I spend time with irl are nonbinary transfems and they're not like, segregated off into the she/it robot dog girl zone being Different Nonbinary they're just nonbinary. Virtually indistinguishable. I know there are Real Societal Pressures to present as strictly feminine as possible to avoid the Material Consequences but if it really truly is making you miserable I promise it's okay to stop doing w/e part of conventional femininity is bothering you please please please

The entire "cis" "woman" demographic who think it's normal to hate being women and actively wish you were born as something else (can have a crumb of nuance with like yes misogyny sucks but "Womanhood Is Suffering" is a different Take than "wow being treated like xyz for being a woman sucks")

[tlirsgender]

I just keep seeing people who are clearly dysphoric with conventional gender/roles and kind of floundering at trying to articulate these desires without knowing proper terminology/theory and/or justify why they "can't" transition and it's Painful. For me. Please free yourselves from your mental prisons I promise you don't have to live like this

[tlirsgender]

And like circling back to the Material Consequences ... most prominently for transfems due to transmisogyny but also just, any of this. My point isn't that it's going to be easy I won't lie to you about how everybody's going to be nice forever, the point is that it's still worth it

Like. If you know me I've been fairly open about my experiences with transphobia as a nonbinary child in the 2010s & I Tried to make myself fit a more binary mold as a teenager in response to the Trauma & it did not fix anything. People didn't even treat me any better. I know how scary it is but you still have to Do It Scared and claw out a place for yourself, even just privately, even just with people you trust. Ok ? I love you

Aeromorphs: the first 50 years

In this universe, the aeromorph is considered to be something like the spirit or soul of an aircraft. It’s a form the plane can take when it’s not being used as a machine. Nobody knows how this happens, or why they exist

Text:

‪1900s- Kitty Hawk: The ‘hangar ghost’ occasionally spotted by the Wright brothers in place of their flyer. Her existence was never confirmed‬

‪1910s- Sopwith Pup: Aeromorphs of the shy biplane were often spotted by WW1 pilots late at night, communicating amongst each other with strange propeller-noises. ‬

A few pilots were able to gain the trust of these creatures, and found them to be deeply loyal.

‪post WW1, reports of the existence of ‘plane spirits’ were corroborated by many pilots, though some still considered it a myth.

‪1920s- the Spirit of St Louis: Lindbergh’s plane is considered the first ‘celebrity aeromorph’. Unlike the first planes, Spirit was not shy about revealing herself to the adoring public‬

Aeromorph existence slowly becomes common knowledge, leading to ‘aeromadness’ in the 20’s: a public fascination with all things aviation

1930s- Lockheed Electra: ‪By the 30’s many pilots had formed deep friendships with their aircraft. Aviation was no longer a novelty, but accidents were still common‬

‪1940s- P-40 Warhawk: in stark contrast to WW1, fighter planes in the Second World War were treated as collaborators and often provided valuable strategic input. A new generation of fighters were created, ones that craved the thrill of battle‬

‪1950s- “Super Connie”: By the 50s, the aeromorph was not just a curiosity only encountered by those working in aviation. The first airliners, like the Lockheed Constellation, were expected to fly well and present a friendly image to the public

one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.

Seattle's relationship to the Bay is giving me a much better appreciation for how Canadians must feel about the US - a nearby shithole that's inferior on every quality of life metric except the ones that matter for brain drain: size, GDP per capita, and weather. And is also constantly 3 minutes away from destroying civilization.

>Join a union

>Hear people constantly complaining that the current union leadership is super corrupt, it's all just the same ten guys making all the decisions in secret and nobody else in the union ever gets to know what's going on

>Go to the monthly union meetings that are completely open to all 1200 union members

>The only attendees are the same ten guys every month, giving detailed reports about everything that's going on

I went to my union meeting tonight and the retirees' monthly complaint about our healthcare was that for some reason it only lets doctors prescribe six Viagra pills at a time, and they want to fuck more than six times a month. That's verbatim. Think about what you could be missing by not going to your union meetings.

The 1969 Easter Mass Incident

Content Warnings: Religion, food, symbolic cannibalism, symbolic gore, penis mention, Blasphemy, SO MUCH BLASPHEMY, weapons, war mention.  Mind the warnings and your health always comes first. Its a HILARIOUS story, I promise.

As always, all the names have been changed to protect people’s identities.  This is a long one, so Press J now if you want to skip it.

When my dad was a young man and still a practicing catholic, he participated in a small church communion that nearly got him and six other people excommunicated.

Father Patrick ran a small church outside of California Polytechnical and tended to be… rather more liberal in his interpretations of scripture than most of the church was, which made him something of a hit with the local students and liberally-inclined populace.  Pat went to all manner of civil demonstrations, condemned the shit out of the vietnam war and the politics that lead to it and so on.  In January of 1969 a series of incidents lead him to start exploring “nontraditional” means of holding Mass as a means of reaching out to his community and exploring his own faith, which ultimately culminated in the 1969 Easter Mass Incident.

For those of you who weren’t raised catholic, Communion is this ritual where you become one with Jesus by eating a really horrible bland wafer cookie and taking a shot of wine (called hosts), which then *literally* become the flesh and blood of jesus in your mouth, allowing him to become one with you.  It’s big McFucking deal, and you have the opportunity to take communion at every mass.  All this had to be explained to me second-hand because after this and Dad’s 51 days in the army, Dad decided he wouldn’t inflict religion on any children he might have in the future.

*

“Hey dad,” Six-year old me asked the first time he told me this story after my practicing friends were talking about getting wine at church. “Isn’t that cannibalism?”

“We’re getting to that.”  He waved.
