at least can all we agree that the original gay flag with the magic and sex colours is BEAUTIFUL and it should make a comeback

[funkyness]

what's more iconic than this

[azeroundivided]

What about the final version of the flag by the original creator?

Gilbert Baker added a 9th stripe shortly before his death, with the new stripe representing diversity. He added this stripe in reaction to the 2016 US election. It’s unfortunately not as well known as the 8 and 6 striped versions.

Here’s an image of him sewing together the 9 striped rainbow flag.

Non-native English speakers shouldn’t worry too much about finding words that sound the same confusing (brake-break, through-threw) when learning English bc every single person with English as their first language has had the universal experience of using L’Oréal shampoo in the colorful fish bottles at some point when they were kids and believed that “tear-free” meant if it gets in your eyes you won’t cry (and learned the meaning of betrayal that day) only to discover later that “tear-free” meant your hair won’t get tangled and it will be easier to brush out and not your eyes won’t burn with the fires of hell if it gets in them soooo....

night at the museum is a franchise I wouldn’t have gotten sick of. they could have tried shoving 8 sequels and an animated series down my throat and I would have ate that shit up

[assiraphales]

the main cast is a night guard, an egyptian pharoah, sacagewea, teddy roosevelt, genghis khan, a miniature cowboy and roman ruler duo, a capuchin monkey, and a moai rock for godsake!!!!!!!!

in the second movie there was a scene where al capone ivan the terrible napoleon an egyptian and darth vader and oscar the grouch interact. ben stiller walks into a painting. the abraham lincoln memorial comes to life. the lil roman rides a squirrel into battle. the thinker is a fuck boy. like holy shit holy SHIT!!

[assiraphales]

this screenshot ALONE should make these movies worth your time

[m0thwash]

Yo we know that duo was gay as all hell tho

[assiraphales]

it took me a second to realize you were referring to the cowboy & roman and not oscar the grouch and darth vader

Anyone else remember a really weird doll/plush from a dream you had last night and now have the need to actually make it real?

Anyone else think this is how you accidentally summon a demon?

hello! if you’re still interested in doing weird cat genetics, i’d love to hear what you think this guy is! a friend of mine posted him on her social media

it took me ages to answer this because I genuinely do not know what is going on there.

that doesn’t look like any existing colouration on my radar. the closest thing would be black smoke (non-agouti black + the silver/inhibitor gene)

you can see that Black Smoke does look pretty similar! but there’s a problem - Black Smoke is a non-agouti colour, and your mystery cat has agouti ticking in the lighter areas:

if you combine the silver/inhibitor gene with agouti, you get a Silver Tabby, which no longer looks anything like your mystery cat:

the other gene that causes that sort of darkening is Charcoal, which originated in the Bengal breed. but there’s a problem with this too. Charcoal DOES cause darkening across the body, but your mystery cat doesn’t have the characteristic “white googles” around the eyes:

your mystery cat with ultra dark face and no goggles:

randombred charcoal cats do seem to have less defined “goggles” than Bengals, but they’re still present:

so what’s going on? I went on messybeast.com, my favourite cat genetics website, and the closest thing I could find was as follows.

there are 3 typical agouti coat patterns in cats: ticked, striped (aka mackerel), and classic (aka blotched, bullseye, marbled). two copies of the ticked gene are required for a ticked tabby, like the one below:

with only one copy of the ticked gene, the masking is incomplete & the other tabby pattern it’s carrying breaks through, like in the cat below:

HOWEVER, it can also present atypically! this is what I found on messybeast, examples of a single copy of ticked tabby incompletely masking the hidden striped/classic tabby genes, resulting in hyper dense patterns, like you see on your mystery cat:

even on this though, the face is too light compared to mystery cat! all that dense patterning seems confined to the body.

SO IN SUMMARY: I have no clue. it looks vaguely like a few existing colourations, but isn’t an exact match for any of them. I think this cat has something unique going on that hasn’t been properly documented elsewhere (that I’m aware of) - tell your friend she has a cool cat!

[sparrowsgarden]

This looks a lot like the pattern in Chausies known as Grizzle! It is speculated to be either a recessive black mutation on the Agouti gene (would most likely be recessive to normal agouti and dominant over solid), or a dominant black mutation on the Extension gene. Either of these are plausible based on descriptions, but I have not been able to find enough breed records to have an opinion either way. They say it is dominant, but it’s unclear if that just means dominant over solid or over other colors/patterns as well.

[pangur-and-grim]

OHOHOHOH would you look at that! 

I don’t know enough about Chausies/grizzles to say that’s for sure what’s going on, but it sure as hell does look like it!!

A note for people about Tumblr tagging and visibility; Tumblr’s tagging system has been changing from what it used to be. It used to be that you could

Put filler tags for the top 5 tags to avoid a post being collected

Put a fandom tag sandwiched as part of a conversational tag (ie: “I’m thinking about Mad Max Fury Road”) and the post wouldn’t be collected by the search system

Tumblr has now changed it so that any tags applied to a reblog can be viewed by the OP/anyone else.

The changes I’ve also noticed are that:

“the first 20 tags on a post will show up in searches” according to the tags FAQ

Additionally, they seem to have changed it so that long tags / “commentary” tags with a specific “main tag” in it will still show up in searches. Going back to my above example: “I’m thinking about Mad Max Fury Road” might show up in the main Mad Max Fury Road tag, especially if my blog is marked as visible in search results.

These changes could make your posts more visible / subject to attention than you had expected or wanted.

Many of us on Tumblr are used to having certain thoughts, asides, and commentary as semi-private when we share it in the tags. Those features are changing, but our habits aren’t necessarily keeping up. If you’re sharing personal thoughts or opinions for a fandom, as an example, they may show up in the main tag for the fandom, pairing, or character if you apply tags as mentioned above. This is more of a note for folks who are wanting to retain a little more privacy; it’s still possible to get clever (ie: come up with a consistent interior tagging system / set of alternative tags that won’t get your personal posts shoved into the main searchable tags).

I was trying to explain to my sister-in-law that I simply cannot turn on my car headlights if anyone is looking at me and she thought I was crazy.

Literally nothing more embarrassing than tying your shoes in public like oh look at me I'm a 5 year old because I couldn't tie my shoes tight enough to last a walk through the kroger

[official-lucifers-child]

are y’all okay

[thatqueerchoirkid]

no

[cookiescr]

nothing more embarrassing than being early for a meetup and being embarrassed that you look weird so you start playing with the notification bar on your phone pretending you're texting someone
