Our blessed tumblr
A holy site
Nah nah nah, you ain’t hiding this in the tags
Not one of the 7 deadly sins, but a secret 8th sin
sorry what
80,000 notes for this absolute bullshit
Last election cycle, Target gave $333,000 to congressional Republicans while they were in the midst of the current renewed assault on LGBTQ rights; this was $91,000 more than they gave to Democrats. In fact they actually increased the Republican bias of their campaign contributions since 2020. They're not standing by you, they're standing against you!
The problem with corporate pride because is not just that it's corny and insincere, it's that corporations are part of the problem. Their lukewarm signals of pro-LGTBQ sentiment mean absolutely nothing in comparison to the ways that they actively support homophobic political movements. Target would sell throw every gay person in this country into a meat grinder if it meant a 0.1% reduction in their corporate tax rate. Y'all need to be able to distinguish between activism and a shopping trip
In 2004, when the Republican party turned gay marriage into a major campaign wedge issue, Target gave twice as much to the average congressional Republican as they did the average congressional Democrat. But sure, they've totally been there for us the whole time, be sure to keep buying their shirts with pastel rainbows on them everyone
Rating the birds in my backyard by tendency toward violence
Northern Cardinal, 4/10
I'm sometimes worried the male is sexually harassing the female but I'm pretty sure they're just doing some elaborate public pickup roleplay. The rest of us didn't agree to participate in your kink, guys.
American Robin, 1/10
Literally just some dude hanging out. Never bothered anyone but worms. Big fan of the way you just stand there in the middle of the grass like you forgot what you were supposed to be doing.
House Sparrow, 10/10
You're a gang. You're participating in gang violence. There's ten billion of you living in a single wood pile and it's been civil war for three years now. When will the bloodshed end?
Tufted Titmouse, 1/10
A shy baby. A pretty little guy. I saw you on the neighbor's garage roof and time stopped. There were anime sparkles around you. Come back.
European Starling, 9/10
Why is it always you? Listen, I know, I KNOW the sparrows are the problem, and YET. When the fighting starts, it's always you in the middle of it, provoking them and then screaming like you're an innocent bystander defending yourself. I'm onto you.
Carolina Wren, 3/10
This rating is not for physical violence, which you don't engage in, but for your role as an incurable narc. A tattle tale. I know they're fighting again, okay? I see it. Our yard has been a warzone for years, you don't have to make a big announcement every time someone misbehaves.
Eastern Wood-Peewee, 0/10
If this were "birds who think they're better than everyone else," you'd get 10/10.
Red-bellied Woodpecker, 6/10
It's a utility pole. It's not a tree. You're surrounded by trees that are full of bugs. But there you are, on the utility pole. Committing vandalism.
American Crow, unrated
For who am I to cast judgment on the actions of La Famiglia? I assume you are doing what is best for the neighborhood. If I could, though, without criticism, make a single observation. That when large numbers of you gather in the ominous dead cottonwood - no? No, you're right. None of my business.
Great Crested Flycatcher, 5/10
Frankly, I think you could be doing more. I think your name implies a great potential. I think you should massacre the insects. I think your beak should drip with viscera.
Stay tuned for more criminal activity!
1) While I laud your observations as well your discretion re La Famiglia, I gather you have never encountered Bongo, Son of Bongo, or their ilk whose life's mission is to eradicate the male cardinal that lives in the sliding glass door *bonk* *bonk* *bonk* *bonk*
2) I would like to submit House Finches/Purple Finches/All the Damn Finches 8/10 for birdfeeder squabbles that were our breakfast entertainment pre-internet.
3) Having moved west, I know why the Aztecs saw hummingbird as a war god. Sooner or later some evil mastermind is going to genetically modify hummers back to dinosaur size, feeding them on fruit smoothies and Red Bull, and kill us all.
the doctor emotionally monologuing at the daleks and then it cutting to shots like this is one of my favorite parts of dw
“The Gang Goes Down With Each Other, Hand in Unlovable Hand”
you've been salmonsharked reblog to salmonshark someone else
To make things fair, Yoda can’t use the force and Gollum does not have the ring: this is hand-to-hand combat. They’re on neutral turf unknown to both of them. The terrain is swampy, which is fair, because they’ve both got Swamp Experience. Neither can pull in allies (not that Gollum has any). Both have slept and eaten well before this. It’s a death match. Neither can bring weapons but weapons can be improvised from swamp materials. Both are inflamed by passion; each feels betrayed by the other
the replies to this so far are hilarious im losing my shit
I’m so sorry @blackthornass but they’ve already fucked by the time they start fighting. They had a lovely dinner date (unseasoned, uncooked rabbit) at the swamp and then they had swamp sex in the moonlight and got a good nights’ sleep together. I don’t know what betrayal led them to a hand-to-hand combat duel the next morning, but the sex is over and they’ll never fuck again because only one of them will leave this swamp alive 😔 Gollum got it raw and wiggling, but only once
I loved this speech about internalized homopobia on NRK’s Skam
