Too weird to live, too rare to die @wrestlingrestless - Tumblr Blog

a little personal response / tribute to "here's the life i've always longed for" by Anna Haifisch. the original means so much to me, and even though it's hard, I feel like every day i'm making more steps toward finally being on the other side of that fence <:)

This photo always cheers me up a bit. It’s a front-page article from 1955 about Christine Jorgensen, one of the first women to have sex-reassignment surgery.

Since the text is a bit small and I couldn’t find a larger copy, here’s what the small blurb says:

A World of a Difference

George W. Jorgensen, Jr., son of a Bronx carpenter, served in the Army for two years and was given honorable discharge in 1946. Now George is no more. After six operations, Jorgensen’s sex has been changed and today she is a striking woman, working as a photographer in Denmark. Parents were informed of the big change in a letter Christine (that’s her new name) sent to them recently.

This article is 58 years old, and it’s more respectful of Christine’s pronoun choices and name than some publications are today. It makes me happy to see a newspaper be respectful of a trans person’s choice of name and pronouns like that :3

Say it again for the haters in the back who want to keep pretending that trans people, or even treating trans people with respect is even remotely anything new. 😎

It’s worth mentioning, that this was kinda celebrated as a wonder of the atomic age at the time. “Look at the power of our scientists! Look at what we can do!” You know, back when America was trying to be the leader in scientific advancement.

btw there should be Drink Stores and they should be open 24/7 and they should have Every Drink. coffee tea boba lemonade etc. and they should be on every street every 300 meters. bc girls need drinks

puppetbilly

being sexy literally has nothing to do with looks... you need to be a little bit weird and strange and unusual. people who are physically perfect by societal standards are not sexy like where's the flavour. the body hair. i'm right

I’ve been on the internet since 1998 starter pack

Reblog this if you are an old fogey online

Reblog this instead if you are a young whippersnapper

Things this starter pack simply does not convey:

The unholy shrieking of the dial-up modem

The computer hanging up on the internet when someone called

How damn long everything took to load

Having multiple windows open in the task bar because there was no such thing as a tabbed browser

IRC bots

The frantic search for the midi player when a webpage started playing music

Putting videos on to download overnight

jpg compression on photos taken with the webcam

This:

No tabs, taskbar-only web browsing.

We die like Web 1.0 surfers.

HAHAHAHAHAHA 4 GIG HARD DRIVE. YOU ARE LIKE LITTLE BABY. I REMEMBER WHEN HARD DRIVES WERE IN THE HUNDREDS OF MEGABYTES, IF EVEN THAT MUCH.

My first laptop had 1GB hard drive which was huge in its day. the year 2000…

I actually miss that screeching dial up sound; it really had a way of making you feel like you were going online in a specifically deliberate and intent-ful way, like, you WERE in the kitchen but NOW you’re SURFING THE INTERNET, ANYTHING COULD HAPPEN

Tony Hoagland, from “Peaceful Transition”, What Narcissism Means to Me

"This reminded me of you" is such a tender sentence. Oh to have impacted someone so much that they find bits of your soul and hold the memory of you in things and places when you're not around.

patron saints are so funny, like some horrendous shit happens to them and the catholic church says "ok they're the patron saint of soap now"

or it’s like “this dude is the patron saint for fluffy pets and sleeping in :)” and you look him up and it turns out he was pulled apart by horses running in different directions in 426 CE
