Guess we'll perish

Tumblr users will say "queer history" and mean "midcentury archival records from a specific US-American city that I have extrapolated into a universal mythos" and not even blink

"learn your queer history" I am from fucking INDIA

Hey all, while we're busy normalizing women with hairy legs, hairy armpits and bushy pubes, let's also normalize women with hairy upper lips, hairy chins, hairy side burns, hairy chests, and all the other places where women are supposedly magically hair-free.

one time i was making potato soup and i needed broth for it but i was out of broth. but in my dog food cabinet there was a carton of chicken broth that i had bought for my dog. now the box did say HUMAN GRADE and the ingredients were just bog standard chicken broth. it did say something about joint health for dogs on there. but the ingredients were normal. i even compared the ingredients list to some normal person broth and they were the same. so i did put dog broth in that soup and it did taste completely normal. but i did use the dog broth.

This will sound like a joke but I’m serious. My first introduction to postmodern queer theory was stumbling on a televised talent show as a pre-teen and watching this woman smash soda cans with her breasts. When the judges asked her a predictable question, if I recall correctly, she answered: “they’re fake but they’re real.” I knew what she meant. She’d had implants, sure, but she wasn’t just wearing a prop she could put on or take off. She wasn’t trying for verisimilitude—her breasts were real simply because they were hers. Ever since I’ve been fascinated by the possibility of something being real and fake at the same time, and the truth that these aren’t static or mutually exclusive categories. I think of all the people who have doubted the authenticity of my faggy mannerisms, accusing me of putting on an act instead of being myself. I feel so much pressure to say that this is just who I naturally am, but this is only half the truth. I do like being feminine, I do like being over the top, I do like being tacky in the most delightful ways, and sometimes I emphasize these parts of me just because I can. We can choose who we want to be and still be real. Anyway as I typed this I looked up the video and found that during that woman’s performance Dynamite by Taio Cruz was playing so good for her.

Until death, all defeat is psychological.

as a former escape room host i highly recommend doing an escape room as a first date. its a great way to learn how ppl react under pressure and how well they collaborate with you right off the bat. also more than once ive seen people enter an escape room as a couple and exit broken up LOL its a fantastic litmus test

An experiment with a clear negative outcome is still a successful experiment.

thats science for ya

I asked my much cooler younger brother (bassist, surfer, vintage console repairman) what his fursona would be. He gave a stock response. He isnt a furry but has several furry friends, he respects them from a distance, yaddah yaddah. I pressed him. Okay but if you had to pick. He paused as if struck with revelation and said: "What if I was a manta ray? Like Big Man from splatoon?" And frankly I think his fursona is already cooler than mine. It's an enlightened choice.

that scene with nicky when he was losing it and cuts his hand, even armand was weirded out and positively shocked he was 300 years old at that point and he's seen so much crazy shit that nothing phases him anymore but here comes gabrielle fucking chuckling and laughing 😭 that woman is insane she's just in her 50s probably, she just found it mildly amusing she's really an actual monster with zero empathy. and back to armand who didn't even seem to care about the incestuous vibes going on due to his own abuse, he didn't reveal that sofia is gabriella until 2025 i believe he did it to win daniel over as a way to offer daniel "his drug" more than to hurt lestat because he could've exposed it ages ago but he didn't, hurting lestat was just a bonus for him, he even phrased it as "love between vampires can be one thing... like lestat and sofia" he still viewed it as love but he knew people didn't see it that way that's why he used it to get his way. it's a thing I've been thinking about and haven't seen people point it out it's just a testament to how fucked up both armand and gabriella are, it makes me sick how nonchalant armand was about it, he was abused to an extent that he doesn't perceive incest as abuse anymore.

if I remember correctly, there is a mushroom that may be responsible for ALS clusters and another mushroom that can cause you to be depressed for up to 6 months. why do mycotoxins behave like magical curses?

i do wonder how mamdani would have solved a problem like the green goblin
