my mouse is. dying
@liquidstar i’m afraid taking him somewhere will make it worse… whenever he moves he makes a depressed little cry that sounds a lot like the windows disconnecting noise
OH. ILL GO FUCK MYSELF THEN I GUESS.
I wish that book reviews were presented the same way as fanfiction reviews:
“AFHAKFHDKFHAKHFADSKFHKDFDKJHFKJAD” –The New York Times
“OMG I CANT EVEN WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT TO THEM” –The Wall Street Journal
“you asshole im crying now” –NPR
“AHH THAT WAS SO CUTE THANK YOU! I’ll publish that book I said I’d write for you like next week, I’m a little busy right now but I LOVE THIS” –Sarah Dessen
that’d get my money.
here are some things I just heard:
- a door slamming
- someone exclaim “oh, you sneaky bastard”
- the sound of a bell jingling down the hallway
- someone at the end of the hallway gasping “hello beautiful!!” in that very special I’m-talking-to-an-unexpected-cat voice
some things I heard myself:
- a light thud
- someone exclaiming “listen here, one of us can see in the dark and it’s not me, so we’re gonna have to figure this out”
- a meow
literally every minor sound from the street carries up to us since it’s so narrow, last year this happened:
- a deep voice going “HEY”
- me immediately concerned, it is dark, what is happening
- same deep voice: “WHAT DO YOU HAVE”
- the playful jingling of dog tags
- “WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN YOUR MOUTH”
- jingle jingle jingle
Omg every one of these paints such a vivid story
I have been successfully tempted once again. No promises for the future.
This is weirdly wholesome
Okay but I very much misread the post and thought the barbarian was, like, an old grandma that just kept getting healed 😅
Can we talk about the head-on a-post with the spliff
I just.
You don’t need a reason to not like a ship. You don’t need a reason not to ship a ship, canon or otherwise. You don’t have to prove it’s “problematic” or “abusive” or any of that shit.
You’re allowed to just not like it. You can literally just say “eh, I don’t like it, it’s just not my thing” and that’s valid. You don’t have to explain it or excuse it. Just say you don’t like it and move the fuck on, for fuck’s sake.
I am BEGGING y’all.
but it’s blocking the FUCKING SUEZ CANAL–
/dies laughing/
Just because a reason isn’t always given.
Does not mean it isn’t ever given.
The entire concept of "camp" and its relationship to gay people is hilarious. like yeah gays have just always loved lame shit that sucks
I don't know if you know what camp is
obviously it's lame shit that sucks
Is camp a fandom I should be glad I missed out on?
It's a 'fashion' movement lol. It's about wearing big things that clash with each other, kinda. (Think about drag queens, they're kinda camp, i think)
Loving all these white gays erasing the history of queerness because they think it’s edgy.
Drag queens are not ‘kind of camp’ - drag queens invented camp. Drag queens are camp. Camp is how gay men (and women! lesbians and wlw can also be camp!) expressed themselves and learned to love themselves in the late 1800s and early 1900s when the crackdowns on homosexuality made those things dangerous.
Camp is meant to be queer, subversive.
“Camp is, or should be, by its very nature, political subversive, and revolutionary.”
Camp is not your tackyness. Camp is not for you to denegrate. Camp is where the drag balls in Harlem originated, Camp is where gay men learn to love themselves for being completely out of the norms of what traditional heteronormativity wants from them. Camp is where we try on and take off genders like they’re fashion trends we don’t have time for.
The lack of care that a lot of people have on here for queer history drives me up the fucking wall.
Camp is also about drawing attention to the demanding categories of identity that we are expected to perform, and that we often accept without question. What is high art, and why are some things “tacky”? To whom are they tacky? What do we gain by seeing aesthetics through a gaze other than our own?
Drag specifically is not really about impersonating females, but about impersonating The Female— exploring and performing the very height of this stylized, ritualized womanhood. Or, in the case of drag kings, doing the same with stylized ideas of what it is to be A Man. The campness is in the head-on refusal to take as given any definition of what is acceptable.
In some places, "camp" also occupies the semantic place that "femme" does, including its link as the aesthetic opposite to "butch". So it's real great that everyone is like "femme is a lesbian only term" (tell that to the "no fats no femmes" guys on grindr lol) and then also making shit up about the term that comes from mlm to describe the phenomenon. Almost like these people just don't give a shit about mlm or our place in LGBT+ history at all.
I'm living for @theorangedead 's tag
is it fucking weird to anyone else to think that deer are like, everywhere
like, i tend to think of them as a north american animal, but
I like how they just avoid Mongolia
Mongolia has an anti-deer forcefield.
I like the rat map even better
What is Alberta doing
we are fucking constantly vigilant
are u guys aware that this map is the cause of an ongoing dispute on wikipedia/wikimedia
WHAT DO YOU AMERICANS MEAN WHEN A SHOW IS ON AT LIKE FUCKIN “8/7c” WHAT IS THAT????
We never switched over to metric timekeeping. The c stands for “Caw”, referring to how many times a majestic eagle has flown overhead and cawed that day. Sometimes the eagles are feeling sluggish, so the show could be on after either the 7th or 8th caw.
What Area Code Are You In
You There? Actually You Know What Nevermind ✌ I Got More Important Stuff To Take Care Of Anyway Maybe We Both Do But The Fact Of The Matter Is I Am Starting To Feel Ambient Electricity In My Fingertips After Reading Texts And Engaging With Other Peoples Minds Which Is Good For You Know What But Also Proof That It Is Literally Mind Over Matter ✌ I Follow Back
tumblr is probably gonna destroy the quality, but here’s a quick little comic i came up with last night! an asexual child of aphrodite asks for some guidance from her mom.
(ACE EXCLUSIONISTS DO NOT INTERACT, THIS IS NOT FOR YOU)
my writing is a little bit illegible, so there’s a visual description with text under the cut:
"you push everyone in your life away, but i'm the one you're always chasing" is a pretty bold line seeing how it's from lego batman (2017) said by the joker to batman after he turned wayne manor into a circus and killed the eye of sauron
This, but I'm so fucking serious.
