Fun History Fact: The overwhelming majority of cowboys in the U.S. were Indigenous, Black, and/or Mexican persons. The omnipresent white cowboy is a Hollywood studio concoction meant to uphold the mythology of white masculinity.

I think it was high school when i overheard some white girl put on her best semi-disgusted and confused voice and go “why do so many Mexicans dress up like cowboys?” and I had to be the person to tell her.

Why do you think the whites say buckero? Cause they couldn’t say vaquero.

also, cowboy culture was hella gay. like, write-poems-about-your-cowboy-partner gay.

IF people acknowledge it, they play the necessity card– there weren’t any women out on the range, so they had to “resort to men.” this claim completely erases 1) the romantic (not just sexual) writings of actual cowboys, 2) the acknowledgement of cowboys’ potential homosexual activity by writers at the time, and 3) the possibility that some men would deliberately become cowboys with the intent to seek out homosexual encounters.

no one wants to admit it, but cowboy culture was just. so inherently gay.

Also, despite the hyper-individualist libertarian mythos that’s grown up around them, Cowboys in fact formed powerful labor unions to advocate for their rights from exploitative ranch owners.

not to be a history fucker on main but the whole mystery of the lost colony of roanoke is so fucking funny

[wizardnuke]

governor of the colony: hey I’m gonna go back to england to get more supplies

115 colonists: okay

governor: ends up spending 3 years in england bc of a naval war with spain or some shit

governor: gets back to the colony to find everyone gone

governer: sees the word “croatoan”, the name of a native american tribe, carved into a post

croatoan tribe: has members and children with blonde hair/blue eyes, pale skin

everyone: what could have happened to the colonists of roanoke

You know what twist I would have liked to see? What would have shocked me? That JON was actually the mad Targaryen. Would have made about as much for damn sense anyways. When everyone found out Jon’s lineage they start saying “oh, that Jon, we better get someone in there to suppress his urges. You know, when a Targaryen is born, the gods will flip a coin.. Remember that time he hung a child? Or all the times he led people to what would have been their death in battle had someone not saved them last minute? You know, his sole purpose in life has been the NK, now that that’s over, maybe he’ll just lose it?”. That’s the kind of fucking subverting expectations I could have gotten behind. We all knew Dany would go that way, just didn’t expect it to be so poorly done. So fuck it, let’s do it to Jon instead

KATE MIDDLETON proved she and her family are just like any other family at Christmas time after she was spotted at a bargain home store, the Range, in Norfolk on Sunday doing some last-minute Christmas shopping.

I found this in October and scheduled it for today becuase I morally couldn’t a) share this during Halloween, or b) not share it at all.

Happy Christmas.
