Secret path to my mind

“We hope this email finds you well” babe, the only emails I hope find me well are the ones from Archive of Our Own

Read this post yesterday and I have not been able to stop thinking about it since. I am on a whole different continent than the op and it is still the same here. We are taught american queer history in school and none of our own. US queer liberation is seen as universal, even on the other side of the globe. I don't think the americans angry about this post realise that their history has culturally replaced ours and that even when doing research in our own languages we have to sift through article after article about the united states, and when finding something about our own countries it tends to just be a timeline of when things were decriminalised/legalised with little footnotes about who signed the act. Even in queer spaces the people that should be our icons are still unheard of, the people who gave us our rights are rarely written about and even when they are those texts don't reach the larger queer communities. We all need to take steps to decenter the US in our lives

lalala world so beautiful advertisements so extinct (opens website on mobile)AAAAAH!!!!!!! OH GOD MY EYES!!!!!!!!!!!

The Iron Lung fandom and the PHM fandom both deciding that the main characters are A-spec until they are dating each other is a phenomenon

I'm sure there's very good reasons for it but it's hilarious to me that they're having more comm errors rn off the coast of California than they did at the moon

we just witnessed 4 human beings going further into space than anyone ever has before like why isn’t everyone talking about this more?? this is by far the coolest thing to ever happen

On the Nasa livestream of the Artemis mission, one of the astronauts just pointed out that they can see the moon out one window and the earth out another and the scale difference is crazy. Mission control replied: "Amaze, amaze, amaze."

one of the things i love the most about piranesi is how the main character is this kind, inquisitive person who loves the world he inhabits and feels loved by it in turn, and how this is not something he needs to grow past, rather it is what saves him and keeps him alive. being observant, curious, wanting to learn about the House, being grateful for all it gives him, this is what keeps him alive and what helps him through the events that take place

I wasn’t sure what to expect from Piranesi but it definitely wasn’t to get hit with one of the most beautifully depicted settings I have ever read. The world of this novel is gorgeous. Specifically, how Piranesi sees it is gorgeous. Page after page of detailed notes about the tides and the wildlife and the many, many statues and how beautiful all of it is. I can smell the salty sea air. I can hear the cries of the gulls echoing through the halls. I can see sunlight slanting through a window and gleaming on white marble and foamy water.

My favorite part about Piranesi (the book) is that it's honestly told from the wrong perspective. The main character should be Raphael, the maverick cop who overcomes public doubt to solve a cold case and take down a cult. But Susanna Clarke was like hmmm actually what if we watched the missing guy talk to birds for 300 pages as the plot takes place offstage. and it was fire
