I Hope You Missed Me

Friendly reminder that the intro to Lion King….the non english bits leading up to the “circle of life” is not random yelling in *Africa voice* it is an actual language, Zulu, spoken by 10 million people, it is the most widely spoken language (out of 11) in the country of South Africa (1 out of the 54 countries in the continent of Africa, the continent home  to somewhere between 1500-2000 languages and around 3000 distinct ethnic groups)

The lyrics before the english comes in…in “circle of life”

A lot of deep sea creatures are coloured red, but since the colour blends in so well with dark water it just ends up looking black or dark blue. 

Notice how the only thing demons and mermaids have in common is dragging human souls down?

I don’t know what else to say or do but for the past few years we have been struggling so much because of my mother being reckless with her money she put two of her cars in a title loan place and lost both our cars within a week , cars she has had for many years gone just like that. You may ask “don’t you have a job” I did ! But then I was hit with severe depression over a surgery I had and I had less hours but I still tried to work just to help my mom but all she did was pawn my jewelry and most of my things that I worked hard for. When my mother had surgery I helped her even though I just had my surgery and I wasn’t supposed to but a lot of strain on my back I was there for literally everyone in my family. We had our electricity , heat , phones, and had no food for weeks because she wouldn’t want to pay the bills the money I had would go towards buying food and paying some bills but after a while I really couldn’t do it on my own I started getting sick I would faint and my body would feel weak in a month id be in the hospital 7 times its awful and its still happening now more than before. some of you may not know but I have a brother who has autism I don’t have a problem with him taking care of him but I’m worried when we have no food or light and I have to lie to him and say some bs story just so he doesn’t stress out. But because I didn’t want to leave my brother alone I would not go to the hospital and I would suck it up and that proved to be a horrible idea because now I have a high fever and a bad ear infection and I’m in bed rest so now I can’t help at all and to top it off my insurance won’t cover most of my medications.

The Rainbow Railroad is helping gay men escape Chechen concentration camps. They need our help.

One of my favorite things about Phineas and Ferb is how Perry somehow comes off as a more talkative character than Ferb, even though Ferb talks once or twice an episode and Perry talks never. Perry is so visually expressive you can almost forget that the secret agent subplot in each show pretty much consists of Dan Povenmire as Doofenshmirtz monologuing to himself; every one of those scenes reads visually as a complicated back-and-forth conversation between two very different characters with strong, stubborn personalties. At any given moment, you can tell exactly what Perry the Platypus is thinking and what he would say if he could, which not only makes him the ideal figure to react to the endless ranting of his nemesis but also gives Doofenshmirtz something solid to react to (when he says a line like “Perry the Platypus, you’re making this harder than it needs to be,” we know he has good reason to say it). 

me: make more movies with black and gay people

Me, at this point:

Fun bit of info!

Fact:

also I learned about this project called “queering the map.” the idea is that in the past gay neighborhoods and gay spaces were very clearly defined bc it just wasn’t safe to be yourself anywhere else. as lgbt+ people become more visible and accepted many feel that we are losing our connection to those spaces

It’s here and it’s SO SWEET?? Just clicking around it’s very personal stories, in first person and a lot of them addressed to a specific “you”, and sooo many in extremely poetic language. It feels like an art installation and it’s so beautiful. ;W; Thanks for sharing!!!

I looked at Jerusalem and immediately found two favorites for entirely different reasons.
