you ever take a uquiz and realize halfway through that you don’t respect the author and their opinion is useless to you
everyone shut up except this person
still so fucking weird to go from real life, where a cis man being flamboyant/effeminate/camp is judged like 70+% by how he speaks and carries himself, to online queer communities, which often seem to have no concept of male gender non-conformity that doesn’t involve wearing a skirt
i promise you, a man can be fem to the point of being in danger while wearing literally exactly the same thing as a hypermasculine guy. a boring basic black suit. a t shirt and jeans. a UNIFORM. gender conformity is not only about what you wear
None of you have watched that heartbreaking scene in The Birdcage where Albert gives up wearing everything he likes to try and blend in for their son’s conservative prospective in-laws and is so awkward and uncomfortable that no one says much until finally he says, defeated, “I know what you’re thinking - dressed like this, I’m even more obvious, aren’t I?” and it shows.
Here, have your queer heart broken:
This is what I’m talking about. This is still literally how it is in most places in the Midwest if you’re trying to “pass” for straight/cis/whatever.
I cannot begin to describe how hard I cried when I saw this scene the first time and how confused my conservative family was as to why I was crying.
It’s so funny how literally the way a man holds his wrists is an indication of femininity but also people think it’s all about makeup and clothing. But we’re also at a point that if you have a suit that is any color other than black, dark grey, or navy, it’s flamboyant.
Men’s sartorial stylings are so rigidly controlled it’s painful. Tim Gunn here is at the very absolute bleeding edge of “acceptably masculine” here for most cishet men, just for some noticible stripes, patterns, and purple, and that’s before he even moves. This is how restricted it is.
But Trixie Mattel (out of drag here) wearing standard masculine garb is could still be deemed unacceptably feminine for body language alone.
This is why we talk about “toxic masculinity” – the idea that any expression of emotion besides anger or even wearing colorful clothes is non-masculine and therefore restricted is horrifying. It sucks! Men should be allowed to express themselves outside of a tiny box of acceptable behavior, because they’re, y'know, people, and people have a wide range of expression in the way they like to look and move and act. I honestly feel like it’s gotten worse over the last couple decades, too. If you look at men’s fashions from the 70s and even into the 80s, there’s a lot of style choices that look pretty cringe to us, but…. you also see a lot more color and pattern in suits than you do now. I’m not sure when this started to shift, or if it’s tied in to the increasing lack of color in all consumer products, but it sucks.
I think about this every hour of every day of every month by the way
having thick hair and going to get your hair cut is just having to listen to your hair dresser repeat over and over again how millions of people would commit despicable crimes to have your hair
three fun and sexy facts about me: 1.) i have a slight fructose intolerance which manifests itself mostly in me getting violently ill whenever i eat garlic. 2.) i have “delayed phased sleep disorder” aka my body wants to sleep during the day and stay up at night. 3. i am extremely sensitive to sunlight and cannot be in direct sunlight for more than like five minutes without getting burned or overheated.
extra bonus fun and sexy fact: the one and only time i stepped foot in a catholic church, someone spilled hot coffee on me and i got a bad burn on my chest and had to leave before the service started
unrelated: i think i might start taking classes to become a phlebotomist
wait i gotta google something
yeah this is funny
To be fair to that last point, that kills just about everyone.
Op i would like an interview
only if it’s homoerotic
in italy, lesbian parents are being removed from their child’s birth certificate in favor of the ‘biological parent’, regardless if that person ever had a role in raising the child. welsh has been doing this as well. it feels like we’re going back decades.
Ice delivery man in Houston, TX circa 1920 Check this blog!
why did he eat this
Historian finishing a dissertation on the ice industry here. For once, I am not here to take away your joy! “Oh no, the ice man is too sexy and he’s going to fuck my wife while I’m not home” was a legit moral panic for DECADES. So much so that if you were fancy, you could get an icebox built into your wall so the dirty, sexy ice man didn’t have to come inside your house with your delicate, impressionable wife. This pic is going in the diss if I can chase down the correct citation for it.

It's worth noting that the Nazis called him from the lobby of the building and threatened him, and King Kirby, an accomplished boxer, said "Sure, I'll be right down" and they weren't there when he got there. Because they wanted to intimidate him, and, having failed, got the hell out because their power comes from fear.

Description:
Why are all the good people staying out of Hawai‘i?
- The US Navy has contaminated water with cancer-causing jet fuel and covered it up just as schools and farmers raise concern.
- Food and water are expensive because tourists overrun grocery stores — with some areas now having to ration and tourists getting priority.
- The cost of living sky-rockets. Airbnb kills good hotel jobs and moves money offshore, and homelessness rises with over 50% being Native Hawai‘ians.
- Social media of tourists harassing endangered animals, destroying reefs and cultural sites, and treating locals rudely are increasing anti-tourist sentiment.
- Suffering under contamination, colonization, capitalism, and ongoing pandemics, revolutionary groups grow as Hawai‘ians beg tourists to pause visits.
- Hawai‘i is a soverign kingdom occupied by the US and colonized after rich businessmen overthrew the Queen by threatening to murder her people. The people are tired of being exploited and gaslit.
