she-ra is still so so funny to me like. as a concept

dreamworks/netflix/mattel: ok mr. stevenson, we’d like this reboot to be a fun kids show with a good story for the whole family and lots of nostalgia to bring in revenue for the franchise etc. sound good?

nate stevenson, planning a story in his head where pop culture icon & beloved 80s childrens hero She-Ra is a brainwashed christian imperialist soldier who has a sexuality crisis over her gay arch enemy for 5 seasons then kills god by kissing her: mhm yes absolutely

Random question, what do you think is the most iconic queer photo?

I love this question but it's so hard to pick an answer! But I love photos of queer people all throughout history just living their lives. Here's a selection:

Crow batée Ohchiish (Osh-Tisch) left and unknown Crow individual, from Will Roscoe’s Changing Ones: Third and Fourth Genders in Native North America

Freddie Mercury and his partner Jim Hutton

Finnish writer and artist Tove Jansson (right) and her partner Tuulikki “Tooti” Pietilä

Mexican artist Frida Kahlo (left) and another woman, possibly Chavela Vargas

US politician Harvey Milk (with the long hair) and his partner Scott Smith

French artist Rosa Bonheur (right) and her partner, Nathalie Micas

eye-opening tumblr post for me included the words "people are meant to be burdens" as in humans rely on and support one another and it's not a bother it's our purpose; to love and be loved in return. so if you ever think you're being annoying just remember we were made to love and it's going to be okay

Celsius is so low res y’all have like 3 possible numbers it can be outside

we’re the retro gamers of temperature

Fahrenheit lets me pick an outfit based solely on the 10s digit meanwhile you tell a Celsius user its gonna be in the 10s today and they have no clue what length of pants to wear. Is the 20s a pleasant walk or a day you should go swimming? Meanwhile Fahrenheit says its in the 70s and I know exactly what to expect today.

“But for science-” use Kelvin like a real man.

Look guys there’s nothing inherently better about either temperature system it’s literally what you grow up with. It’s all made up. You only think Fahrenheit is easier bc you grew up with it and the only reason you don’t understand Celsius is bc you didn’t. As someone who grew up with Celsius and had to learn Fahrenheit it’s still much more intuitive for me to tell temperature in Celsius.

A toddler with no previous exposure to either temperature system would not give a shit which one you used bc they won’t understand either of them. As you grow up you learn to associate a certain outside feel with this arbitrary number with either a C or F behind it. It’s literally just about familiarity. All of my friends who grew up outside the US prefer Celsius. It’s just about what’s easier for you to use.

I respect what you’re going for here but I don’t make inflammatory posts about inconsequential bullshit to reach some kind of compromise or consensus. Pick up a steel chair and go apeshit on somebody.

…Well I was gonna be nice, but if you insist, I’ll go apeshit.

Farenheit was the first temperature measurement system invented, so as a result it was a flaming pile of dogshit. Like, 0 degrees farenheit is the freezing point of a salt water solution Mr. Farenheit had mixed up himself with no control samples or verification. That is the level of scientific procedure he was on. But everyone had to use it, beacuse he was the first person to actually do the fiddly work of fucking around to make up a temperature scale.

Then Mr. Celsius, an actual scientist, looked at it and went “hey, this is a flaming pile of dogshit, I’ll make a better one”. And so he did. And then everyone switched over to celsius because it’s literally the improved version of farenheit.

…Everyone except that one backwater shithole that also still uses the imperial measuring system, but they’re not really a developed country, they don’t even have basic things like healthcare or maternity leave like literally every other civilization on the planet. And then they brag online about using farenheit without realizing it’s part of why literally everyone else thinks their country is a backwater shithole.

The most important additions should not be left in the tags!

being so fr when I say that transmisogyny has put feminism back like 50 years

Avatar

what i thought we had distanced ourselves from was the reduction of women to vaginas and wombs and the ability to bear children. i thought we had progressed past ‘dresses are for women and pants are for men.’ i thought we progressed past the idea that someone is less of a woman if she does not adhere strictly to beauty standards. i thought we progressed past the idea that naturally being comfortable adhering to highly feminine standards is vulgar. but i (sarcastically) guess no one could have predicted that trans-exclusive feminism would be the downfall of all the progress we’ve made

“We’re in danger of losing what the entire second wave of feminism, what the entire second wave of women’s liberation was built on, and that was ‘Biology is not destiny’. ‘One is not born a woman,’ Simone de Beauvoir said, ‘one becomes one’. Now there’s some place where transsexual women and other women intersect. Biological determinism has been used for centuries as a weapon against women, in order to justify a second-class and oppressed status. How on Earth, then, are you going to pick up the weapon of biological determinism and use it to liberate yourself? It’s a reactionary tool.”
Despite some of its misses, Firefox still matters. Mozilla is pushing companies to be more private, and its key product is different at its core. The browser market is dominated by Google’s Chromium codebase and its underlying browser engine, Blink, the component that turns code into visual web pages. Microsoft’s Edge Browser, Brave, Vivaldi, and Opera all use adapted versions of Chromium. Apple makes developers use its WebKit browser engine on iOS. Other than that, Firefox’s Gecko browser engine is the only alternative in existence.
“This market needs variety,” Willemsen says. If Firefox diminishes further, there’ll be less competition for Chrome. “We need that difference for open internet standards, for the sake of preventing monopolies,” Willemsen says. Others agree. Everyone we spoke with for this story—inside and outside of Mozilla—says having Firefox flourish makes the web a better place. The trick is figuring out how to get there.

Download and start using Firefox if you don’t already, I made the switch back to Firefox after not using it for years and being a chrome person until 2020 and have never regretted it

firefox is so amazing.  Seriously.  If you haven’t, give it a try.  At the very least, you can watch youtube videos with 0 (zero) ads.

"Stop saying 15 year olds with weird interests are cringe, they're 15" this is true however you should also stop saying adults with weird interests are cringe because who gives a shit

To wit:

I want to share some wisdom from my high school art teacher.

In my AP Art class, there was a girl who was just starting to experiment with mixed media. At this point she was still playing around, trying to decide what direction she wanted to go with her portfolio. So one critique day, she brought in an abstract canvas with some rhinestone highlights and painted and real peacock feathers. She loved sparkles and peacock feathers so she thought she’d try introducing them a *little*. And after everyone had given some input, the teacher gave her his advice, VERY roughly paraphrased here:

“So here’s the thing… I do not like this style. These are just elements that do not speak to me personally, but I see that you like them, and you’re doing interesting things with them.

“My biggest critique is, I only merely *dislike* this piece. I want you to make me HATE it. Go crazy with the things that you like. Don’t hold back trying to make it palatable to people like me. Because I am NEVER going to like it. And if the audience does not like it, it should drive them crazy seeing how much YOU love it.”

Her portfolio was chock full of neon colors and glitter and rhinestones and splashes of peacock feathers and it was a delight. Our teacher despised every piece lol, but she got great marks and I think even won some awards. And more importantly, she was happy and proud of the results. Because she didn’t limit herself by trying to appeal to people who were never going to enjoy what she enjoyed.

Takeaway here: be as cringe as you want. Don’t limit yourself based on other ppl’s tastes. They’re not you, and you are incredible 💕

#The way they physically cannot get close enough as they kiss even though there is literally no space between them already and how Lydia stands on her tiptoes even though she’s already taller than Cynthia and how she wraps her whole arm around Cynthia’s neck to try to get as close to her as possible

(And yes I felt obligated to gif all three angles because they’re all amazing and I couldnt settle for just one)
