In regards of the Trump government scraping all trans inclusion in its queer information portion of its websites I have made this thing. Spread the word. Don’t let them pretend we never existed.
I still can’t get over what brits call musical notes like bro please I’m trying so hard to take this country seriously
I hate to be defending brits but as a musician the simplistic american terms sound so sterile and lifeless to me.
If yanks can have their whole “but inches sound so much more poetic than centimeters and millimeters” stupid bullshit I think we can have this stupid bullshit too.
the lack of ability to comprehend literally anything on this site is genuinely impressive
Absolutely agree we should be allowed to take a break from the fall of western society to just enjoy things and there’s nothing wrong with not dedicating 100% of your time to activism (in fact if you do dedicate 100% of your time to activism, you will probably destroy yourself), but the game and the halftime show were also inherently political events.
Trump was there and people were booing him through the game. The chiefs, who have won 3 of the previous 5 games and made it to 1 more, were the obvious choice to win, and were the team Trump wanted to win, lost. Massively. Even though it was not a political statement, it was a political outcome. Anything involving Trump is inherently political because that is what he does.
Meanwhile Kendrick Lamar’s show started out with “Uncle Sam,” who in the context of the show and with everything he said was also a reference to Uncle Tom. If that statement doesn’t make sense in and of itself, please look up Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Sparknotes works, but reading the actual book is better; it’s public domain.
Then there’s Kendrick saying “the revolution boutta be televised, you picked the right time but the wrong guy.” That was clearly about the election. The prison yard, the goose stepping, 40 acres and a mule, it was all political. It was all a protest.
I would even argue that the inclusion of his beef with Drake was inherently political cause the primary focus of it within the halftime show was about his abuse of women and children.
I can’t decide which implication from the screenshot is worse: that we shouldn’t allow ourselves rest and fun, or that the superbowl and “celebrity stuff” aren’t (currently) extremely political.

whenever this comes up i like to remind people that harry going back to the abusive dursleys every year was treated by the narrative as something necessary and good because they’re his family after all, and percy jackson gave his mom medusa’s head so that she could turn her abusive husband to stone and sell his remains as a sculpture to pay for her degree and that was framed as a good decision without remorse. and that’s the difference between hp and pjo as stories i think
Rick Riordan received the Stonewall Book Award while rowling’s friends are nazis, if that helps
a good way to inspire yourself to do more is to see yourself as the wacky sitcom B plot character in your friends lives, “wouldnt it be funny to tell the friends in my phone about it.” has gotten me to do anything from going to a festival (excelent) to wild camping (it went badly) (coastguard called) to trying to get the train to stonehenge (stonehenge costs money so i ended up just getting lunch in sailsbury, it was okay.) i bought a bicycle today and 20% of my reasoning was “itd be funny to surprise my roommate by coming home with a whole bike.” . life is for living. and baby i live for the bit.
being self aware is the worst thing ever. can’t even be pissed at my dad properly without having a disco elysium ass internal monologue about it
PISSY TEENAGER: GOD dad just does not FUCKING get us!! And he isn’t even trying to!!
AUTISM: Nay, we shall not complete this task, chosen arbitrarily and with nary a consideration towards our numerable other priorities. The harder he may push, the harder we shall rebel, for this is a waste of our time with no evident necessity for its immediate completion!
RATIONALE: As a nineteen year old woman still living at home and with a history of frustration with her father, it makes sense for this time of our life that we would conflict with him, in this and other ways. In all things we must seek calm.
AUTISM 2: Ough…. The Dharafter…
TUMBLR BRAIN: Wow, real original. Way to ignore the actual themes of Disco Elysium, not that you know since you haven’t even gotten around to playing it yet! Why not go look for your neighbor’s cat in the Alps while you’re at it?
This is fucking stupid
ZLOYXP???? FROM MY FUCKING MINECRAFT YOUTUBE??????
My coworker asked me a question about Queer culture the other day and it was a really good question but I couldn’t think of a polite way to tell them that they didn’t have the foundational knowledge required to support full comprehension of the answer
Coworker: So why do some people say they’re bisexual and other people say they’re pansexual? They sound like the same thing
Me: Do you want the real answer or the answer that will make sense to you
something about you being a map of everyone youve loved but instead its your artstyle being a map of everything youve loved and every artist youved ever wanted to draw like
every ad is a personal insult to everyone who sees it and i’m not kidding
I’m paying my internet bill for you to use MY bandwidth to put your horrid images and videos on MY screen, draining MY device’s power, wasting MY time? 10000 giant murder hornets forever.
Proposing that it might be kind of fun to share their life experiences with another person or persons, sources speculated Thursday that it would probably be nice having friends. “Gosh, it would probably be pretty cool to have a few select people in your life to do stuff with on a regular basis,” said the sources, stressing that while they had no personal experience with the concept of mutual affection, their observation of thousands of other people interacting in small groups, talking and occasionally laughing, made friendship seem as if it could be really great.
Me studying the middle ages: “oh wow, how interesting to see regardless of religion people rationalize huge misfortunes as their diety being mad at them”
Me on my period: “God has forsaken me, I am being punished”
so last year during a period of intense suicidal depression i made this necklace that i always wear, right, and the thing is it’s genuinely brought me a lot of comfort and relief and i’ve developed a strong sentimental attachment to it, to the point that i can inarguably state that it’s had a net positive effect on my mental wellbeing. however i did now just have to stop to almost throw up laughing because i realised that i’ve succumbed to the amulet.
