ATLA kpop demon hunters au where mira is a firebender who "betrayed" the fire nation. Zoey is a water bender with family in both the southern and northern water tribe. And rumi who is presumed to be a non bender.

They all left their respective nations and meet each other by fate, all looking for a way to defeat the evil firelord gwi-ma. They become fast friends. (Maybe even more than that if it tickles your pickle).

But rumi has been hiding the fact that shes the avatar, master of all four elements, because shes afraid her friends might see her differently. But shes the one thing that can truly put an end to the hundred year war. And not to mention shes the last living descendent of the air nomads, a literal extinct nation.

Can you imagine rumi trying to hide her bending from zoemira???

Rumi: (discreetly blows a gust of wind to knock the Wanted Avatar poster out of mira's hand) oops! Mustve been the wind!

AND JUST IMAGINE HOW COOL THE FANART WOULD BE UGHH

First post in a loooong time, heh! Spooky season is here so time to bring out the supernatural ocs!

First up is Declan Harris, a werewolf who lives and works at a bar and lounge exclusively for vampires. How did she end up there? Hmm, well that scar on her face surely doesn't have anything to do with it....

my usual maneuver is "if i accidentally fucked up my own timeline somehow, the ages will simply be adjusted to fix it" so there might be future tweaks there. because this timeline is barely taped together as it is

We need a digital archive of LGBTQ+ works of art, science, and every other conceivable work we can share between each other because we are beyond the genocide warning level in most countries in the west and they're already trying to purge us from libraries.

[mtfoss]

If other people are interested I'll make this a priority

[cannilyuncanny]

Speaking as someone with a background in archives, stuff like this does already exist. No need to reinvent the wheel. Creating an archive and making sure it's accessible and searchable and actually preserves things for the long time (especially digital things) is actually a huge undertaking. Show some love to these already existing collections and maybe even consider contributing. There's the Digital Transgender Archive off the top of my head. I know more I just have to think.

[cannilyuncanny]

The History Project, based in Boston, is an LGBTQ+ community archive that's existed for decades. Many of their collections are digitized.

The Lesbian Herstory Archives, based in Brooklyn, is similar.

The Digital Public Library of America covers a great many topics, but they also have LGBTQ+ stuff.

I'd also recommend searching "lgbtq+" and "libguide" in your preferred search engine. Many universities list helpful resources and databases, some of which are freely accessible.

Many public and academic libraries in the US and Canada (not sure where you're writing from) subscribe to the Gale Archives of Sexuality and Gender. If you have a library card or are a student at a given library, you can access it for free.

In general, I'd really recommend searching around to see how you can support existing museums, community archives, college and university archives, etc that specialize in LGBTQ+ history and media local to you, whether that's in your same town or regionally.

You are not alone! People are working on this and some of them have institutional budgets!

But also kind of looping back to the first post: you personally might have relevant records. Photos of Pride or protests you've been to, journals, a blog full of trans headcanons even. That's all part of queer history and that's the stuff these archives and museums are made of.

Label your stuff carefully, make backup copies, and get to know your local organizations!

hey new users, censoring swear words is actual cringe & being “cringe” is based here, also be gay freely & don’t censor that either

Also don’t say unalive (or other tiktok mannerisms), make your likes & following list private. We don’t do that shit here. We do reblogs.

Also you can turn anon off for asks! You can also pin a post to your blog!

You’re not an influencer. You’re just some blog. Follow count doesn’t matter here. No one cares.

Red marker handwriting on a bathroom wall. Text reads:

“Boss made a dollar Granddad made a dime But that was a poem From a simpler time.

Boss made a thousand Gave pa a cent But that penny paid the mortgage Or at least it paid the rent

Now Boss makes a million And gives us jack Smugly blames the workers For the labor that he lacks.”

Flautist Melissa Jefferson plays slaver James Madison's 200-year-old crystal flute in the Library of Congress.

[strangers-to-iowa]

a few notes: --this is apparently a piece that is very difficult to play --this flute is keyless, which requires the player to use extremely precise finger positioning --Lizzo is wearing two inch acrylic nails

[bixbythemartian]

the runs at the end are both stunning and flawless!

[metalheadsagainstfascism]

Cool. The flute is cool. But I got some more info that I feel is important.

That's James Maddison's flute. James Maddison owned over 100 slaves. Due to debts he had to sell land and slaves over his lifetime. By the time of his death he owned 36 slaves. No slaves were freed during his lifetime or in his will.

The power that this successful Black woman has over his legacy right now.

Not just playing his flute, but shaking her ass while playing his flute.

With some help from the Library of Congress, @lizzo got to play President James Madison's crystal flute at her recent Washington, D.C., conc

Oh, the white supremacists are so mad.

You know how often people play instruments that are hundreds of years old? Instruments are made to last hundreds of years. They're preserved through use. First chair violinists in major orchestras often use violins that are centuries old.

My aunt owns and sells instruments both young and old, and it's a huge dishonor to the memory of the creator to demand that the instrument go in a museum never to be used.

[timidsketch]

Something really cool about this video is that Lizzo is usually in really extravagant outfits, which is awesome to see! But we as fat people are expected to over-perform gender and be dressed to the nines just to deserve basic respect. If we're seen wearing baggy pants and a simple shirt, we're called slovenly, lazy, ugly. So I love seeing Lizzo being able to wear not just the extravagant outfits but also outfits like this that are a "fuck you" to every fatphobe who thinks fat people must put on a performance to earn basic respect and dignity.

[steakplissken]

Not only is Lizzo playing James Madison’s crystal flute, she was invited to by Carla Hayden, the Librarian of Congress and the first actual librarian to have the job since 1974 (she was appointed in 2016). She is also the first woman and the first African American to be the Librarian of Congress.

She invited Lizzo by @ her on Twitter because she saw Lizzo would be in town for her tour. Lizzo spent three hours touring the LoC and looking at historic flutes in the collection.

Carla Hayden was previously the head librarian of the Enoch Pratt Free Library, which is the city library organization for Baltimore. She kept the libraries open during the Freddie Gray riots so people would have a safe place to bring their kids.

She’s a cool lady and I hope more people get interested in the LoC and it’s holdings. They have a lot online and you don’t need to make an account to look.
