Trainwreck ♥

seattle’s world cup hosting comittee (seperate from fifa itself) decided to designate seattle’s june 26 game the pride match bc it’s pride weekend in seattle. after this decision was already made, egypt and iran happened to draw this match. officials from these countries got super worked up about this because they are both very homophobic societies. no players or anyone on the field will be forced to acknowledge that this is a pride match, it’s just a thing that seattle is doing. iran and egypt officials are trying to get fifa to ban pride flags at the stadium but fortunately fifa has so far refused.

some misconceptions i’ve seen is that this was “pinkwashing” (which is crazy, countries that actually hate gay people that bad would never “pinkwash”) or an intentional troll aimed at the countries involved. neither of these are true bc like i said, the pride match was CHOSEN BEFOREHAND.

it’s just one topping on the SEATTLE DOG!

the cream cheese typically goes on the BUN and in my opinion should be used in moderation!

a seattle dog also has CARMELIZED ONIONS and (usually) JALAPEÑOS please don’t just throw cream cheese on your hot dog!

they are traditionally consumed while SHITFACED or EXPERIENCING SEATTLE SPORTS (derogatory)!

seattle has much more noble claims to culinary fame, such as introducing teriyaki to the mainland united states and creating the dutch baby pancake. i just thought seattle dogs would be funnier to mention.

en Perú ganó las elecciones el fujimorismo, conocido entre muchas otras cosas por realizar mas de 270.000 esterilizaciones forzadas y clandendestinas a mujeres indígenas, campesinas o pobres para reducir los niveles de natalidad de su sector poblaciónal. -> 🔗

para acusar de racistas a los argentinos somos todos mandados a hacer, pero para recordar que durante toda nuestra historia fuimos los primeros en abrirle las puertas a inmigrantes venezolanos, paraguayos, bolivianos, peruanos, etc. no?

en Argentina se abolió la esclavitud constitucionalmente en 1853, antes que Venezuela, Perú, Brazil o cualquier país norteamericano. somos el país latinoamericano que menos requisitos pide al momento de nacionalizarse y nuestra mismísima constitución asegura el beneficio de la libertad "para todos los hombres del mundo que quieran habitar en el suelo argentino". cualquier persona de cualquier país puede venir a la Argentina y tener derecho y acceso gratuito a educación y salud.

el racismo existe en todos los paises del mundo y podemos estar años nombrando casos específicos. y no, el estereotipo no viene de la nada, justamente porque el cuento de que los argentinos somos los "blancos de latinoamerica" la "Europa de américa latina" y "racistas porque recibimos a todos los nazis después de la SGM"

You may need to learn how to set up your paints and such… but this is what people did, live, while the show aired. That’s what the show was for. I had family members create lovely works of art they enjoyed, which I still have on my walls, because William Alexander and Bob Ross both said:

SCREW METICULOUS CLASSICAL ART PRACTICES — JUST GRAB A PALETTE KNIFE AND BIG OLD BRUSH AND PAINT!

They freed a whole generation of people who were taught to paint detail and realism and exact representation of reality — people who largely gave up this kind of thing because it got tedious.

I watched the joy of family members as they rediscovered art as a messy fun spontaneous half hour activity.
