obviously dietary requirements aren't a joke but my grandma sometimes runs errands for her church and i asked her what she's up to today and she said extremely seriously "ive got to track down the body of the gluten free christ, julia"

Over twenty years ago my big brother got me a job at a Taco Bell in the St. Louis suburbs-West County. He warned me that it was the “gay Taco Bell”, but since I was coming from the “gay Howard Johnson’s” I wasn’t shocked. It turns out it was the black trans women Taco Bell complete with black trans women in management. And they’d worked out an arrangement with the local teen Narcotics Anonymous group so that twice a week we would shut down the drive thru and the dining room and exclusively serve 60+ teens in various stages of recovery. And many of the women I worked with were in various stages of being out or transitioning and they were from all generations from teens to over 50. One woman I worked with had a regular corporate job presenting as a man 9-5 Mon-Fri and then came to Taco Bell and worked 6pm -2am Friday and Saturday night so she could be herself surrounded by other black transwomen in those stolen weekends. And we had customers come from all over the metro area because they knew they could be themselves in the dining room. I only worked there from 1999-2001 but for young me, this was a vital, formative experience. Some of the girls came from north city all the way out to the “gay Taco Bell” on Manchester in west county because they heard it was safe to work there. Like- I know times have changed but they haven’t changed much in 20 years. I’m still convinced that for lgbt youth, finding a job at your city’s version of the “gay Taco Bell” is key to survival.

Thank u for sharing this with us

Weird things I have done as an archaeologist

  • Washing cannonballs
  • Comparing human leg bones to my leg
  • Balancing knee caps to see if they’re left or right
  • Smashed my head on a drill handle while I tried to look cool dropping 3 meters of stainless steel down a hole
  • Trying to rescue mice out of the trench using a shovel and screaming how you’re trying to help
  • Glass still cuts skin, even after 500 years. And me being the dumbass I am to swipe my finger across to clean it
  • Getting distracted because you’re convinced these two pottery shards match in some place
  • Pushing my thumb into the decorative indentation a potter has made 300 years ago cuz I’m still a child
  • Trying to match shoe prints to one of your colleagues
  • Surely google knows the brand name on this 100 year old shoe shine can

oh that last one though

friendly reminder for the new twitter refugees:

  • change your icon/pfp and put something coherent in your blog description or you're going to get blocked bcs people think you're a bot
  • this site is built around reblogs, so please actually reblog posts(especially art and fics!!)
  • you can set your likes and follows to private
  • checkmarks here are a meme and mean nothing
  • follower counts are private and we like it that way, so get used to not judging people by that metric
  • drama and discourse is boring, use your blacklist and block button liberally
  • DON'T CENSOR YOURSELF!! we can swear and say kill and make fun of corporations all we want, and if you tiktok-ify your tags people who have things blacklisted for whatever reason will still see them, and people who want to see that content won't be able to find it!! spell words out normally, you won't get in trouble!!
  • tumblr live is sketchy as hell and full of fake accounts, if you decide to use it anyway may god have mercy on your soul o7
  • be nice to the reddit refugees, they're our friends <3

if i had psychic powers or a genie or smth i think i would give elon like. a single hour of perfect, blistering clarity. 60 minutes of a complete and inescapable understanding of his own nature and relationship to the world. i just wanna see what would happen

Please for the love of God do not interpret my off the cuff edutainment posting as academically sound information. If you want rigorous, professionally edited shit, that's what my Patreon is for. Here, I am but a slave to the bit.

best thing tumblr ever did for me is the term "rotating it in my mind". it's really true that sometimes you think about something real hard but you can't tell what the thoughts are exactly. it's revolutionary stuff, i might even say

sometimes the subject of your thoughts is just in this thing

Ah, there it is!

The TUMBLER!
