Up and Coming

@tippedoverteapot this reminded us both of that time you had to call in moosed to work

my official stance is a pregnancy is whatever the pregnant woman wants it to be. if it’s a 4 week old clump of cells and she wants to call it a baby it’s a baby. if she’s 20 weeks and she wants to call it a parasite it’s a parasite. if she’s 39 weeks and calls it a fetus it’s a fetus. “why are you so sad about miscarrying at 6 weeks it was literally just an embryo” because that was her baby. “how can you get an abortion at three months” because that wasn’t a baby. hope that helps.

no you do not need to hold fictional characters "accountable". they are not real.

8/10 but fuck, OW.

8/10 also!

REAL TEARS I AM CRYING REAL TEARS

Incredible: after his death, people discovered that this unassuming hospital janitor was hiding a secret - a novel he had been working on for thirty years, that was ten thousand pages long. It wasn't unbelievable outsider art though, it was just a period romance novel and he couldn't stop describing everyone's clothes. He'd been describing one gown since 1998. Dear god, they were only at their second ball

put rainbow laces on all my shoes recently which is fun and sexy but has the side effect that i have gotten multiple "i like your shoelaces" from strangers and like. i cant NOT "i stole them from the president" in return. just in case. but its recieved mostly awkward laughs and looks of confusion. embarrasing myself in public out here over my damn shoelaces.

"theyll hate you for this" "but theyll be alive" is THE juiciest thing to me

i will ensure you stay alive above all else. even if what i do to make it happen is horrendous. even if it violates all your wishes or moral principles. even if you can never look at me the same way again, even if you hate me for it. because at least if you hate me it means youre alive

happy 2/2 everybody

Reblogging for “sleep paralysis demons of the entire NHL”

Honestly incredible. If I had actually bothered to go into the industry I got my education in, guys like this would be my peers and my bosses and I frankly think I'd end up on the news if I had to spend most of my waking time around these guys.

my problem really deeply is how shallow a tolerance younger people have for old queer media. like yes, it's dated and some of the politics don't hold water anymore, but to ignore older media simply based on that is to loose EVERYTHING we have bc we don't have a lot. just because queer themes caught up more recently doesn't mean we should rehash everything to fit into a more "presentable" format that is only considered modern bc of the puritanical blacklash of the last several years and sanitization of queer themes.

The show/book/podcast right now that you think is groundbreaking, has great representation and ideal political positions, that makes you feel seen and validated like nothing ever has before? In twenty or thirty years, if you are so lucky, you'll get to look back and watch kids who weren't born yet make fun of it or criticize it for its flaws, for how it didn't use the current correct terminology or was wrong about something that is now taken for granted, or ignored things that are now considered essential to the queer experience. Maybe you'll even notice those flaws yourself when you revisit it. Then you have a choice: throw away the whole thing, or say "hey kids, this thing might seem dated or misguided to you now but at the time it was great, and it's still really important to me."

This is why I will fight for both Rocky Horror and Rent until my last dying breath. Queer art made by queer people must be defended and celebrated even as we acknowledge change, progress and the things that have always been problematic.

Everyone has an accent it came free with your language 🙄

Congrats to every reply like this for failing to understand the fundamental definition of an accent. Of course you think you sound normal! It's the way you speak!

Gonna sign language at you in a very southern accent
