That’s the human equivalant of the “sir are you aware you are a cat” meme.

I thought I was Jewish when I was her age but I was actually Catholic so when my Jewish friends invited me to give a prayer at his house during Chanukah and I recited “Our Father who art in heaven…”, my friend’s mom got on her knees and said to my face in a super soft voice, “Joey, I think you’re catholic not Jewish,” in front of everyone and I thought I was in trouble and I started crying.

I didn’t know church denominations existed, I just thought Catholic was the thing you called Christian people? (You know, ‘cause the Credo…) So I said I was Catholic and my mum was like “No honey we’re Protestants” and I literally responded with “What are we protesting?”

The answer to “what are the protestants protesting?” is of course, the catholics

I started going to a protestant church when I was a kid because it was closer to my house and this adult teaching Sunday school said all non-Christians were going to hell and I said, “But I’m not Christian, I’m a Catholic. Am I going to hell?” And she stared at me like she hated me and I took that as a “yes”.

If you're a side sleeper, get your shots on the side you do not sleep on.

what if you sleep like a rotisserie chicken

Then you're going to have to wing it.

It depends where you go too. I tried to sign up at CVS and it said "free with insurance"

In the US they are not allowed to charge an individual for this vaccine. They are allowed to bill your insurance. Whether you have insurance or not, you will not pay anything.

anyone else remember being a child and seeing the very neat handwriting of other little girls and somehow knowing that you were a different genre of person than they were

literally no…i remember seeing bad handwriting & thinking “oh these other kids must be orphans or something”

fascinating to hear from the other genre, thanks for your contribution

ok every time this post comes by i resist geeking out on it but NO LONGER so these women are probably the same woman and that woman is monet’s wife camille doncieux. he painted her a LOT. but fun fact: monet had this asshole friend named ernest hochede, and ernest racked up some debts, and like an asshole he basically just fled the country, leaving his wife alice and their six kiddos behind. monet immediately got alice and kids to move in with him, camille, and their two kids. at this point, monet, alice, and camille became my favorite probably historic poly threesome. they lived together, taking care of the kids. they were so poor that alice and camille took turns wearing the nice dress so they could go out with monet. when camille got uterine cancer and began dying, alice helped monet cope and took care of things while he painted camille over and over. when camille died, alice is the reason monet was able to survive. when ernest finally died, monet and alice married, and remained married until alice died. at that point, blanche, the oldest daughter, took care of monet until he died. anyway, the point is, the umbrella ladies are probably the same ladies, but as far as i’m concerned, there WAS a historically queer poly family in that household and they were wonderful.

If I’d been told how gay art history was I would’ve paid much more attention college.

Funnily enough they let out this gay little detail when I learned about Monet in art uni

The original “upgrade” “oh shit go back”

i fuckin love when a meme becomes so developed you no longer need the words
