Queerness doesn’t need to make sense. I don’t care if you’re a bisexual lesbian a he/him lesbian a genderqueer dyke a transwoman with facial hair a trans man in dresses a person with neopronouns a person identifying their gender with a noun. It doesn’t matter, you deserve respect. We made this shit up and people wanna act like you can’t have fun with it. Gender isn’t real and sexuality hangs by a thread. If you’re not a twat it doesn’t matter who you are, quit feeding into sensibility discourse and do what you want, its your identity not mine not theirs.

I think one big reason why we don’t consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I’m lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don’t get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

Hate to break it to you, but this picture is a lie.

The 1 to 4 - is something you can only see in a NASA telescope. Or on pictures a NASA telescope took and then it was rendered through a Photoshop.

Actual star sky when you are in a total dark place far away from any city lights looks like 5-6.

Only, without that bright coagulation of light.

Like, just many-many-many bright star dots. And that’s it.

The Milky Way, to a human eye, on a starry sky far away from a city is just that - a line across the sky where there are even MORE star dots than in other places.

And yeah, all stars look the same colour, no “light show” like the 1-4 picture wants you to believe.

Just… Black canvas (the sky) and a milliard of bright white dots on it. That’s it.

It DOES look magical, but if you set yourself up to see the 1-4 (and 5 to an extent) when you go to look at stars somewhere very remote - you will be severely disappointed.

UPD: found a picture that shows how the sky far outside the city TRULY looks to a human eye:

See that white “cloud” across the picture?

This is the Milkie Way and how it looks to us humans when we are far away from the city lights pollution.

Ok, thank god, that’s what it looks like where I live, I thought I was going insane for a moment but no, the chart was wrong

when i was a tiny baby queer (aka a 24-year-old), i went to my first pride festival probably three months after i kicked ex-gay therapy to the curb and came out to my parents. being the people they are, my parents came with me. they weren’t really sure about this whole gay thing, but they loved me and wanted me to be safe and happy and wanted to be involved in what was important to me, so they came along. (i also think my mother still might have thought i might get drugged or murdered or beaten by a protester of which there were plenty.)

anyway i wanted a memento of my first pride, you know, and this one vendor was selling keyrings, and i liked it, so i bought one. do you remember those italian charm bracelets that were all the rage like 10-15 years ago? it was a keychain like that, and it had a rainbow rooster, a rainbow cat, and then just a rainbow, and so I bought it.

i run into my mom a couple of vendors over and she goes oh you bought something? what’d you get? so i showed her, and i was like, “I’m not sure why it’s a rooster and a cat. Seems kind of random. But I liked the rainbows.”

and my mom, who was some form of minister’s wife for most of my childhood and teenagerhood, stares at me like she thinks i’m joking.

“What?” i say.

“…it’s a cock and a pussy, Jules,” she says flatly, and that is the story of how i died at the age of 24 while attending my first pride festival.

I love how every June this one gets dug up and passed around again, lmao.

Have you ever experienced seeing your dream broken in front of your eyes and not being able to do anything about it? Have you ever thought about living in a tent in a cold and unclean ocean, sleeping on the sand, without a bathroom or water? Have you thought about living in a place where you can’t meet your family’s basic needs and feel helpless about it?

I am Shahd from the southern Gaza Strip. All my life, I have been building a life for me and my family. It persisted in a good future, when the war in Gaza began on October 7, 2023. We were in extreme fear during the displacement, and found ourselves in an insufficient small tent. Despite the lack of safety, food, clean water and the spread of diseases, we had to live this difficult life under bombardment, knowing that at any moment, my family and I could lose our lives

My whole life has been scattered, and I am extremely frustrated and sad by the ongoing genocide I witness every day

Do you understand what it means to be in a situation where you have been displaced over and over again, just to reach the only supposed safe area that I ordered you to go to by a much stronger force than you as an unarmed civilian, just to be told that you can’t be there anymore? After you lose everything, like your home, your memories, your friends, your family and loved ones, your job, and everything you have worked hard to achieve…

Amid these hardships, I see a glimmer of hope, because I haven’t given up yet.

If you know of any organizations, associations or entrepreneurs who support and fund projects, please do not hesitate to share my association with them.

They can also contact me directly.

I know that the path to success after destruction can be difficult, but with your help and support for me and my family, I can start over…

anticiv take of the day: workers have less power in 2024 than they did in the 1800s so you should stop trying to organize them. I make fun of anarchists for refusing to read Marx and Engels but you don’t even need to know them. A Dickens novel or a high school history class should be enough to make this post look comically stupid. Never mind that the most successful revolutions did not involve wage laborers withholding their labor but literal feudal peasants.

the post goes on to instead advise disrupting supply chains with direct action. Disrupting supply chains with who? The only kind of adventurist sabotage you could do by yourself to actually make an impact on supply chains (and the post gestures at it, bringing up blackouts) - is shooting at power stations. This is almost the single easy way to get arrested by the FBI or equivalent as a leftist. They wouldn’t need to manufacture bullshit RICO charges like they are currently already getting away with doing to the Stop Cop City folks, they can just use the actual terrorism charges they conspicuously avoid every time a Boogaloo shithead shoots at power stations. I’m not saying the deactivated OP or the person who put this post on my dash are feds - but recognize that this is the exact same kind of thing a fed would post. “Don’t organize at work, it’s too hopeless, commit traceable crimes with as few people as possible.”

(I guess OP could also mean arson or bombings? The Weather Underground tried that, look up how it went for them - including the part where they all gave up on radical politics and became beltway Democrats, like every anticiv would do if they were offered the chance to.)

both the half arsed apology and the use of the italian for faggotry on sky news without censorship are sending me

okay but. genuine question. I have NEVER heard a straight person in Italy say “forciaggine”. ever. sure, homophobes say “frocio” as a slur. but all the people using derivatives — frociaggine frociata frociarola frocetto frocione — ALL these people are queer. I have ONLY heard froci use the word frociaggine in my entire life living in Italy. (Personally I say it about 12 times a week)

which begs the question. which frocio working at the vatican taught Francis this word.

WAIT A GODDAM MINUTE!

Are you saying Pope Francis, might have used that slur (albeit mistakenly so) because he thought (also mistakenly so) that it was jus the general way to referee to someone Queer, because SOMEONE QUEER TOLD HIM THAT?

I think it was his openly extremely gay costume guy

no idea where i was going with this but i abandoned it at the most disconcerting moment possible

look actually calling things that aren’t the brand name by the brand name is something corporations really hate. because if it becomes common enough they stop having the trademark to the brand name.

did you know trampoline used to be a brand name? true facts. the inventor wanted all the imitators to call theirs, like, “elastic platforms” or some shit (i don’t remember the specific shit) so he could keep advertising The One and Only Genuine Trampoline ™. and then we didn’t. and now nobody remembers him or his trademark.

aspirin used to be a trademark of Bayer

Per Wikipedia: “Trademark erosion, or genericization, is a special case of antonomasia related to trademarks. It happens when a trademark becomes so common that it starts being used as a common name and the original company has failed to prevent such use. Once it has become an appellative, the word cannot be registered any more; this is why companies try hard not to let their trademark become too common, a phenomenon that could otherwise be considered a successful move since it would mean that the company gained an exceptional recognition.”

Examples of genericized trademarks include:

• Air fryer
• Aspirin
• Dry ice
• Escalator
• Flip phone
• Heroin
• Kerosene
• Teleprompter

Examples of trademarks that are at risk of genericization (so you definitely shouldn’t use these terms; you don’t want to take them away from the poor corporations, do you?):

• Adrenaline (owned by Pfizer)
• Allen wrench (owned by Apex Tool Group)
• Band-Aid (owned by Johnson & Johnson)
• Bubble Wrap (owned by Sealed Air)
• ChapStick (owned by Suave Brands Company)
• Frisbee (owned by Wham-O)
• Google (owned by Google)
• Hula hoop (owned by Wham-O)
• Jacuzzi (owned by Jacuzzi)
• Jell-O (owned by Kraft Heinz)
• Jet Ski (owned by Kawasaki)
• Kleenex (owned by Kimberly-Clark)
• Lava lamp (owned by Mathmos)
• Ping Pong (owned by Parker Brothers)
• Play-Doh [and “Play Dough” in the UK] (owned by Hasbro)
• Plexiglas (owned by Altuglas International)
• Popsicle (owned by Good Humor-Breyers)
• Post-it note (owned by 3M)
• Putt-Putt golf (owned by Putt-Putt Fun Center)
• Q-tips (owned by Unilever)
• Realtor (owned by National Association of Realtors)
• Rollerblade (owned by Nordica)
• Scotch tape (owned by 3M)
• Sharpie (owned by Sanford L.P)
• Styrofoam (owned by Dow Chemical Company)
• Super Glue/Superglue (owned by Super Glue Corporation)
• Tupperware (owned by Earl Tupper)
• Velcro (owned by Velcro Companies)

Many of this list I was aware are trademarked names but some are wild. Allen wrench? Really? Fucking POPSICLE?? REALTOR????

Okay, but I feel like we’re all sleeping on adrenaline, the hormone that your body naturally produces in response to stress, being apparently a registered trademark of Pfizer.

Also Adobe really hates the generalization of “Photoshop” from “[noun] our proprietary software” to “photoshop: [verb] to manipulate, edit, or otherwise doctor an image”

gods, for once we are all already all doing the right thing to fuck with companies and don’t need to change our behavior or convince everybody. Carry on, y'all

My sort of maybe embarrassing “late to the game” thing I’m learning now is how to tell if oil has gone bad.

I feel like most other foods have obvious visual tells like mold or they end up smelling foul and obviously bad. But I was googling about oil and the internet says “if it smells like crayons, it’s bad” which would not have been my first guess. And I tested it out on my somewhat old sesame oil and was like “by god, I would describe this as smelling like crayons”

Anyway protip if your old oil smells kinda like crayons it’s probably no good 🖍️

there’s a massive cadre of people on here who can best be described by the phrase “be gay do war crimes”

#it’s me#I’m that person

this is not intended to be a funny quirky joke meme phrase it’s a description of american or otherwise western gays with deeply imperialist and racist tendencies, you do not want to say you’re this person

Genuinely can you shut the fuck up. do you hear yourself rn

@clarissa39 are you sure you kicked the racism and imperialism? Cause it sure doesn’t fucking seem like it

Yeah you’re right, it’s an ongoing process to correct my attitudes and it’s going to take a lot of time and effort but is very much the right thing to do. What I mean here is what I have done and been complicit in in the past doesn’t go away because I’m getting better and trying to correct my past errors.

Also because I was involved in the YPG in Syria as an irregular, so an illegal combatant…you know, a war criminal

Like very literally this is why I joke about it.

you could’ve led with that last part and saved everyone a lot of trouble but it is admittedly very funny that you didn’t

Make pride accessible for everyone!!!!

I made a post about this last year and the year before, and thought if I did it this way it gives people and orgs something to work towards. Often people forget that disabled people aren’t just wheelchair users, and even those who are, need more than just that ramp!

My first ever pride, not only as a wheelchair but my first ever EVER pride, I went in expecting to feel at home.

Obviously I wasn’t, I’m disabled, so why should I?

Instead there was just a ridiculous amount of uneven flooring, a steep ramp to the disabled toilet, no sanitary towel bin in the disabled toilet (???) no allowances to be let out of the festival to fetch things from my car, no where quiet and organisers who seemed genuinely surprised to see a wheelchair user!

My next pride, three years later, I was a seller, and while they had sorted their toilet problem (still no sanitary towel bin???), the hill to get in wouod have been genuinely impossible for me to get to if I hadn’t been driving to get my stall in anyway, even with someone pushing me, no quiet areas, plenty of kerbs for me to get stuck at and again, genuine surprise.

Why is it so surprising to consider disabled people might be at pride? Not only do queer disabled people exist, but parents and family of queer kids and people, vendors and even entertainers!

Making pride accessible is crucial!

It’s really hard to explain what I mean but yknow that moment in the show where the protagonist realises who is pulling all the strings and it all clicks into place. But it implicates their companion in the process? And they turn around to tell their companion about their revelation and the shot changes and you can just see the companion is already 5 steps ahead of them. They’re got this knowing look and a smarmy smile on their face. And before the protagonist even gets to speak they have a silent moment of “we both know what we know.” LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE TYPE OF VILLAIN REVEAL.

This is called Anagnorisis.
