a book should be $5 a little drink should be $2 and museum access should be free and all hours

Why is it referred to as coming out of the closet? 

It could be coming out of anything. What wasted potential.

Coming out of my cage and I’ve been doing just guys

#if you want the pedantic answer bc I’ve actually researched this for my thesis#there doesn’t seem to be a for sure agreed upon origin of the phrase BUUUUUT#it seems to be a combo of two earlier phrases ‘coming out’ and ‘skeletons in the closet’#coming out started to be used by gay men in 1920s new york bc a “coming out” was the 1st time a debutante would debut into the dating scene#so gay men would have their “coming out” when they first went onto the gay dating scene#a skeleton in your closet is a shameful/dirty secret that would often only be revealed once a person died#for a lot of queer people their queerness was something they literally took to the grave#so being ‘in the closet’ meant you were the skeleton in your closet#I couldn’t find an exact confirmation of when the phrases began to be combined but it seems to be around early 1970s gay liberation movemen#at the time a popular protest chant was ‘out of the closet and into the streets’#which I think also helped to popularize the term#I’m putting all this in the tags bc I realize this is a silly post that is meant as a joke and I didn’t wanna ruin the punchline#but I also wanted to provide an answer for those who were curious

avatar the last airbender where sokka throws fireworks at people for maximum damage

he gets EXTREMELY offended when they add Zuko to the group because CLEARLY Aang already HAS a firebending teacher

prev tags: #bonus points if Zuko just came for the traitor bonus points because uuuuh#he also? thought the Avatar had a firebending master already?#he's got the waterbender who went from zero to epic in one season#the earthbender who keeps calling him out over his heartbeat while kneading metal between her hands#and the firebender who bends literally unlike anything Zuko's seen before. this all checks out.#what why is everyone staring at him. WHAT.#Sokka: *smugs so hard he keeps anyone from telling Zuko until the Boiling Rock*#*when he needs to VERY QUICKLY drag Zuko away from some VERY AWKWARD conversations with his father*#Zuko: doesn't know if Sokka is a firebender on his mother's side or his father's but is trying to be very supportive of Hakoda raising him-#Hakoda: ...What conversation did my son just stop me from having#later at the air temple: handmade rainbow steamers unfurl over Sokka's room as Hakoda stands supportively underneath#HAPPY PRIDE#DAD I'M NOT GAY I'M A FIREBENDER#...what.#avatar the last airbender#ATLA#Toph munching popcorn: why not both?

i understand that it's unreasonable to expect a band on world tour to play in every country in the world but i do think they should only be allowed to call it a world tour if they play in every continent. we need to make it embarrassing to say world tour and then not even step foot in africa

oh and that gap in my resume is when i was digging my own grave
