I assumed everyone knew this, but

candy desk . yeah I know you’re like “it would be stupid in a tv show if a senator famous for being a libertarian idiot whose ribs got broken in a fistfight over yard waste was infected with a virus from a one-in-a-century pandemic and continued to rifle around in the senate republican’s candy pile”. well sorry Sorkin but this is the real world and that’s just how it is

oh yeah because I forgot to mention, it was Rand Paul because of fucking course it was

[kaelio]

also in case you didn’t know this, the US Capitol also has its own little rinky dink subway system that only they can use at it looks like this

[kaelio]

and it looked like this in 1912 because yep it’s been there that whole time

article tells me there are, in fact, separate candy desks for republican and democrat senators. the republican candy desk, which is the better-known one, is operated by a singular sugar daddy, while democrats can contribute to a candy fund in order to partake of their side’s hoard

@ us senate yall really run a country like this????

[ichaserabbits]

Jesus Christ if you read it in a book you’d say it was too on the nose. What the fuck.

[alterboyx]

Republicans make confectioners donate all their candy to them while the democrats pitch in to pay for the candy are you fucking kidding me…I had to read the article myself and it’s somehow worse than I thought

[blogwizard]

in times like these people say things like “we need to throw it all out and start over” which is absolutely true but we also need to divest of all this whimsical shit in its entirety. if I saw, with my eyeballs, a congressperson like, vote against raising minimum wage or whatever and then take a handful of literal candy from a communal candy desk and then hop on the Magical Senator Train to Clown Town I would be in prison for murder.

Why must the internet hurt me like this?  😫 😫 😫

So, I heard about this and I can’t find the original, but apparently this started because someone returned a book to a library with a taco in the middle of it.

[theriu]

This post was already perfect, but that origin story made it ascend to a new level

[nonbinaryvulcan]

I-

WOW OKAY

[tsunflowers]

also I learned about this project called “queering the map.” the idea is that in the past gay neighborhoods and gay spaces were very clearly defined bc it just wasn’t safe to be yourself anywhere else. as lgbt+ people become more visible and accepted many feel that we are losing our connection to those spaces

so every dot on this map is basically someone’s queer experience: coming out, meeting their future wife, seeing another gay man in public for the first time, anything you can think of that truly left a mark on them

it started in Montreal and is primarily English-language with most pins dropped in the US, Canada, and Europe, but there are people all over the world who’ve shared their experiences. it’s great to look at places near you but it’s also great to see that even people in places you thought were the middle of nowhere are happy with themselves and finding community and living their lives

[sazandorable]

It’s here and it’s SO SWEET?? Just clicking around it’s very personal stories, in first person and a lot of them addressed to a specific “you”, and sooo many in extremely poetic language. It feels like an art installation and it’s so beautiful. ;W; Thanks for sharing!!!

… there’s also a lot of really silly ones (like gay sharks in the middle of the ocean)

I looked at Jerusalem and immediately found two favorites for entirely different reasons.

Things I found from the queer community of japan:

It’s no secret to the Japanese that Shinjuku nichome is the gay district of Tokyo but about half the pins left there are for the same club in that area named gold finger. Definitely a place to check out if you’re looking to get involved in the Japanese queer community for whatever reason, it seems.

I have a sneaking suspicion this submission is a haiku when written in Japanese…

This guy got the scenic view I guess

Is this how people feel while reading deep romantic poetry because wow I’m moved.

Honestly the best feeling is learning we’re not as alone as we’ve been led to believe

These are all super poetic oml I appreciate every single one of them

[phuk-ewe-deactivated20221207]

There are none in my town. Guess I’ll be the first

[castlescrumblingdown]

I went to my old, STAUNCHLY conservative town and saw “There are a lot more of us here than most would think, past and present” and I nearly cried

oceania gays are funny bitches

[ficcyshit]

With what’s happening in Poland, it’s super important for us queer folks to be able to find each other and take strength from the community. I’ve always loved queering the map and I thank whoever created it every day.

Photo from the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, “wear a mask or go to jail”. The Spanish flu did not originate in Spain despite its name. It’s called the Spanish Flu as this is where the first reports of the deadly outbreak came from. During WW1, Spain was somewhat neutral and was one of the only countries who’s media wasn’t heavily censored. This led to everyone thinking that Spain was ground zero as this is where most of the reports came from.

Beautiful. We need to see more pictures like this.

Pro tip: If you copy and paste a link that said “no free articles” into a private/incognito browser, it will let you read the whole thing.

[fail-sage]

also if u press the “esc” (escape) key on ur laptop before the page fully loads, it won’t load any pop-ups blocking u from reading. if the article has images, then this method sometimes does not u see them. but! the words will be fine :)

[bestgirlsystem]

If the site is particularly badly designed, you might just be able to delete the overlay itself. Right click > Inspect element and delete the line of HTML (it’ll be highlighted automatically)

[woodentempest]

hey kids there is a website called outline.com that will let you read from pretty much any news site with a paywall for free
