so i was thinking about how sander feels safe at his school. other than david who was a completely different character with a different life and storyline and joana who was too young, sander is the only even to finish high school. not only did he finish high school, but also he got into an arts college which is probably what he wanted. we’ve seen once and again how the evens miss school cause of their mental state... i can only imagine what an accomplishment it was for sander to finish high school and get into college. maybe his greatest accomplishment? other than that, that line where he tells robbe he’s toxic and that everything he touches he breaks? well, not his art... yeah, all the evens were good at drawing and liked music and stuff, but sander is an artist. it’s literally his everything... he chose to go to an arts school in high school and college. it’s also probably for him the one thing he’s really good at that i bet he likes about himself and feels good about. the one safe place he doesn’t feel toxic or destructive... he can voice his thoughts and feeling and create something beautiful.

The Outbursts of Everett True was a comic strip that ran in papers from 1905 to 1927, wherein the aforementioned Everett True regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude. Men have not only been taking up too much room on public transport for about as long as public transport has existed, but the people around them have been irritated about it for at least a hundred years. The next time someone tries to claim that manspreading is a false phenomenon, please direct them to this strip so that Everett True can correct their misconceptions with an umbrella upside the head.

I have never before heard of Everett True, but if he “regularly beat the everliving shit out of rude people as a warning to anyone else who might consider being rude,” I have a strong spiritual connection with him.

[hotcocoachia]

I fucking love him

[jaynavajasso]

i can imagine this guy’s voice very clearly in my head but i couldn’t put a name to it 

[podcastwizard]

hearing the john mulaney “do my friends hate me or do i just need to go to sleep” bit is the best thing to have happened for my mental health because every time i’m afraid my friends hate me it’s around the time i should be going the fuck to sleep

[bladesandstars]

I read somewhere “if you feel like everyone hates you you need to sleep and if you feel like you hate everyone else you need to eat” and it was honestly world-shattering and I wish I’d heard it years ago!

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.

[howmanymoredays-deactivated2013]

Thank you.

[myvaginaisanuclearreactor-deact]

I will always re-blog this

[skywritingg]

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.

[mexica-boricua-deactivated20180]

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

[thewellofastarael]

[manynamedshe]

I dunno if I reblogged this before but fuck it, y'all gon learn today.

Teach the children.

[fifty-shadesofgay]

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.

[scandinavianindian]

Im here for the gay POC cowboys

Billie Joe Armstrong literally wrote a song about coming out as bisexual as a teenager, and then like two years later wrote one that was pretty much all about dressing up in drag and getting fucked by/fucking guys, and y'all STILL say he’s a “straight ally” because he married a woman??

[pavelchekovswig]

[coldwarfem]

The same goes for Freddy Mercury and David Bowie. Both were openly bi. Both wrote (multiple) songs about their queerness. Both are pigeonholed as either “gay” or “straight”. They were both neither of those things.

[flagellant]

hey remember when freddy mercury wrote a literal song about wanting to be allowed to be bisexual without it being a big deal and was incredibly obvious about it and then straighties went “oh lol look at how quirky queen is writing a song all about bicycles!”

[charlie-in-a-beanie]

This also happened to p!nk, she’s openly bisexual but since she’s married to a man and has had two babies with him, people say that she’s straight.

Like, yeah she does a lot and shows a lot of support for the LGBT+ community but she isn’t just an ally, she’s part of that community.

Biphobia is completely real and so many Bi wlw and mlm are assigned the “straight” role when they just ARENT.

[prince-spence]

[pepperpatrol]

Also let’s add Lady Gaga to the mix. She’s repeatedly shit on for Born this Way for not being part of the community when she is, in fact, openly bisexual and writes song about being LGBT

[disordered]

[politijohn]

Being shortsighted isn’t a good look.

[politijohn-backup]

LOUDER

[semicolin-deactivated20191121]

For anyone that thinks Bernie Sanders wouldn't be the biggest LGBTQ advocate to EVER be elected to the office of the president

[advanced-procrastination]

People posting and reblogging posts misconstruing small events in order to persuade people away from supporting good democratic candidates? Why does that sound familiar?

[kate-barton93-deactivated202005]

It’s 2016 all over again.

[isitqueertho]

Look fam I'm queer and if I was running for president even I would skip both LGBT debates because I have a better use for my sanity. Make your policies clear through action - as he has - and you don't need to "debate" anything with anyone, especially not in the format expected of election-related nonsense, in which all you have to do to convince most of the people present is just SOUND like you're winning.

[tlirsgender]

I know “my dear” is just like, normal bro talk for victorians but will my gay ass ever be able to handle it? No

[tlirsgender]

Imagine if like 150 years from now “bro” ends up having Connotations and the Future Tumblr gays are all losing their minds about how tender classical literature sounds

I’m pretty sure this is the portrait of McGonnagal that hangs across from the portrait of Snape in the headmaster’s office.

[princexuko]

okay but look at the differences between these two statues. that pretty much says everything you need to know about Zuko and his father. 

Ozai statue shows him as fearful and intimidating. washboard abs, flexed muscles, breath of fire, closed fists… he’s dressed for an angi kai, dressed to fight. (looking up at this statue is probably the image Zuko has in his head of his father right before he burned him.) but this isn’t just how Zuko sees his father, it’s how the fire nation and the world as a whole saw Ozai.

if you assume that Ozai approved or had some say in how this giant steel immortalization of himself turned out, we can also assume that this is how Ozai wants the world to see him: as a powerful, merciless ruler that brought change through violence and endless fiery aggression. (also, apparently, as a pretty well endowed guy too i mean damn)

and then there’s Zuko and like where do we even begin?? he’s not dressed to fight and unline Ozai he’s not made to look like a wwe champ. and he’s not dressed up all regal-firelordy-like: no cape, no pointy shoulder pad armor things… so it’s obviously not meant to be a sheer display of strength or wealth or power. actually, he’s wearing something that looks a lot more like casual travelling clothes, similar to what he wore while travelling with the gaang and a lot like the clothes in the “old friends” poster. 

but then the fire!! this is the most important part. look at how he’s holding it. the opposite of Ozai’s, Zuko’s fire is not a means to attack or destroy—it lights the way. he’s holding it out for his people, leading them as they travel together into this new world. the focus of Zuko’s statue isn’t on sheer, shallow displays of power and strength. Zuko’s statue shows the legacy of hope and change he left behind. oh Zuko’s strong, certainly. you can tell that in his stance and the poised way he holds his head, his crown and the beacon of fire. but unlike Ozai, Zuko never relied on physical strength or intimidation, and that is what made him different.

we don’t really know how involved Zuko was with this statue, but I think it’s safe to assume that it would’ve had to have his personal seal of approval. i’d like to think Zuko vetoed a lot of designs before they came up with one as subtle but powerfully fitting as this. this is how the world sees Fire Lord (and now Peace Ambassador) Zuko, and how Zuko, in his later years, has come to see himself. and when you think about how goddamn terrified that newly crowned 17 year old was of becoming just like his father…

it’s really powerful to see, in the end, that these two, father and son, predecessor and heir, couldn’t have been more different.

[royaltealovingkookiness]

I had so similar thoughts about this. I’m glad you wrote it so wonderfully, I love everything about it.

Zuko’s statue is the embodiment of the gentle, nurturing side of fire, as it returns to the balance, illuminating rather then destroying and it fits so perfectly the kind of person he became.

[shiobookmark]

His stance is gentle too. His left hand relaxed by his side, standing confidently as he leads the way but always ready to stop and listen. You get the sense you could hold his hand or tug on his sleeve if you wanted to get his attention. He wouldn’t be lead away from the path but he’s conscious of those behind him.

[outofthewood]

Anyway, that’s what I’d do.

[iprefertheterminsane]

Okay. I don’t think said it yet, so I guess it’s up to me.

look, I remember when I first heard of the Good Omens fandom, and naturally, Aziraphale’s name, I was struck frozen like, “Wait, I know that name. Israfil, that’s a first. Which is what reluctantly pulled me in

(I’m a Muslim)

See, growing up, we have this nursery rhyme for the 10 most important angels that you have to know, and Israfil’s name was right up there (if you want to know, the other nine are Jibril, Mikail, Mungkar, Nakir, Raqib, Atid,Ridhwan, Malik andIzrail)Christians to mention some of them in movies, I mean, you guys have versions of them too, right? So I’ve naturally heard the mentions of Jibril (Gabriel), Mikail (Michael) and Izrail (Azrael), but I was kind of stuck at the mention of Israfil of all angels, so throughout all 6 episodes  I kept trying to remember what his main purpose was, in the nursery rhyme (you know that thing that you can’t think of something purely due to the reason because you’re looking for it?). As the story progressed I began to recall that he was a pretty big deal for starting Doomsday, but it wasn’t until this scene happened;
