in happier pride news i actually found this deeply heartwarming
that's solidarity baybeeee
Further context: Durham city council (Reform UK) cut funding and support for Pride. The Durham Miner's Association and other trade unions raised enough money for Durham Pride 2026 to go ahead - a direct call back to when Lesbian and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) raised money for mining communities when Margaret Thatcher seized union funding during the miner strikes of 1984-85.
At the 1985 Labour party meet, the motion to support LGBT rights as a party was passed due to a block vote from mining unions.
Stephen Guy, the chair of the Durham Miners’ Association, said that when it became apparent Durham Pride was under threat, he took it upon himself to “encourage the trade union movement to step up and do the right thing, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the LGBT+ community […] They not only raised funds for us, but came to our communities, uplifted our spirits when they were down, and showed their solidarity.”
Happy Pride Month to those two women dancing together in the foreground of the boat scene in Godzilla (1954).
I’m sorry your romantic foibles were overshadowed by a big ass atomic lizard thing.
out of the tags with you
i love when you’re talking to someone who’s not from florida and you just casually mention a thing that only happens in Florida and it ruins their whole day
one time i was talking to some guy and he was like “haha how do yall get alligators in your backyard? do you not have fences?” and i had to inform him that gators can absolutely climb fences
omw to go sit in your pool
this is why kennedy space center had to install fancy outward-curving fences around the launchpad, bc gators climbing over regular fences and getting on the launchpad could be very dangerous
I’d like to think that the “STOP 🛑” sign is also for the gators.
The gators don’t abide by our petty laws. They are…instigators.
turns out they climb trees too. Like regularly. they tend to do it a lot less once they reach certain sizes, but like several crocodilian species turn out to have a whole development period where they spend a lot of time in trees, and we just never knew that until like 2014 because, understandably, nobody who was studying them thought “i wonder if I should look for a bunch of crocodiles up in the trees”
new phobia just dropped
haters will see multi-talented queens and develop a phobia

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.
I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
the self is a guy you made up to get mad at
if you vote me for president i vow to make everything the ocean again. no more land only ocean. this will solve all of our problems and replace them with new, far more interesting problems

I better see a Gallade in my dex soon.
making the radical claim "11 year old children should be taught how to make extremely simple food" has resulted in people making arguments like "I wasnt allowed to plug in electronics until I was 16 and I think this is super normal actually" and "children dont know what ratios are so its unfair to expect them to be able to comprehend the idea of adding equal amounts rice and water to a rice cooker" and I gotta say originally I thought maybe I was being too judgy but now I feel very secure in my opinion because what the fuck
edit you are all so annoying and wrong everyone shut the fuck up !!!!!!! i literally do not care what year you learned to cook and the way you all view disabled people is fucking gross.
I'm gonna double down on "11 year old children should know cooking basics" and state firmly that 6 year old children should know cooking basics. By the age of six I could assemble basics foods like macaroni and cheese or instant noodles, could follow recipes and make (box) cake or cookies, knew how to measure ingredients and stir and pan and boil and bake. I was allowed to use sharp knives and use the stove and oven. I could bake bread.
Hell, I was 'helping mommy/daddy cook' by cracking eggs and stirring things and flattening dough balls etc at the age of Three.
If your parents didn't begin teaching you these skills as soon as you had the gross motor functions to perform them, they were being negligent.
At what age do you think a child with normative motor skills development should be able to -dress themselves- btw? At what age should a kid know how to use buttons, tie shoes, etc? These are similar skills to cooking in terms of gross motor function.
When I was 7 and my brother was 10, we moved. With the move, we became latch key kids because a school bus could drop us at a park very near the house which hadn't been true at our previous home.
It also meant, because we now lived in earthquake territory, that there was a possibility that we might end up at some point caring for ourselves in an emergency like a major earthquake for a day or two if they struggled to get back from work due to infrastructure damage (like bridges).
We'd been taught from a very early age to cook - helping as soon as we were able to improve motor skills as @moniquill says above - and could both pretty confidently prepare a few things.
Due to the new situation, my mom spent a Saturday in the kitchen with us, working through how to make 4 things from pantry/fridge staples (no ingredients that wouldn't generally be kept on hand) that we would definitely be willing to eat to ensure we wouldn't starve if that happened.
And my dad spent time teaching my brother to safely use the camp stove if we lost gas/power in that circumstance (he would do the same with me a few years later, but at 7 I was both a bit young and a bit of a fire bug).
They did these things, both teach us growing up and teaching us more in this specific circumstance because cooking is 1) a survival skill and 2) a teachable skill with numerous levels of knowledge (starting at 'toddler, move this spoon around this bowl') making it great as children grow.
And acting like kids aren't competent to be taught to feed themselves is just another way to take away their agency and independence. Stop infantilizing teenagers. Stop infantilizing 8 year olds. They are functioning human beings with functioning human being skills and should be treated as such.
*takes everyone by the face*
Teach your kids to steer a car.
If you EVER go to the lake or go camping or into any area where other people are scarce enough not to be in sight at all times, and they physically can apply full force to the pedals and turn the wheel fully. teach them to steer a car.
I don't mean drive in traffic. That is way too much, and everyone would die. I mean being able to put on the hazard lights, stop, start, and steer. Not to be too action movie, but they need to be able to go for help down a two lane road in an emergency until they see another car. Like if you're at the lake or camping and the adults are injured.
If you can find a safe space to do this where the cops won't come for you, do it.
Also, teach your kids how to get to familiar places you go often, without a phone. I'm serious. They may have to help a friend or family member navigate by sight. They need to know arterial roads and landmarks as soon as they can, and the nearest major intersection or landmark to your house. Make it a game. But TEACH THEM.
Teach them your full names and address the minute they are old enough to retain this information. I was HORRIFIED in 2nd grade how many kids didn't know their addresses, or their own parents' ACTUAL NAMES.
Teach them your phone numbers and that of a couple of other trusted adults. Not every situation they may need to know this in will warrant 911.
I've really enjoyed doing these Jojo x Chiikawa fusions, here are the passione ones I did.
Bonus: If I buy a book I get to keep it! The publisher can't turn up at my house at random and confiscate all the books I bought.
