Imagine getting into bed and reading a book and falling asleep instead of staring at your phone blasting blue poison-light into your eyeballs for 2 hours or however long it takes for exhaustion to overpower your need to be constantly entertained

NSFW post y’all.
I’ve only ever dated and slept with women in the past so being with a cis man has been quite the learning curve. I’ve spent a lot of time sucking his dick and we finally fucked which was incredibly painful but a good time never the less. I’ve never been happier or more in love.

I love that I’ve had some of the same mutuals for like over 5 years and we never so much as exchanged a single dm.....the amount of mutual respect.....
not to alarm anyone but if u look at the moon with one eye and then close it and open the other one you see another identical moon a little bit to the left. why has science covered up the existence of this second, secret moon? we are the people and we demand answers

thats a stupid name. it should be called “moon 2″
It’s been a weird two months. I had a long distance relationship, a FWB that never panned out and then reconnected with the guy I had a crush on when I was 16 and we hit it off so fucking well he’s meeting my family in a couple weeks and we already have our Halloween costumes planned. I don’t understand anything.
now that jk rowling has exposed herself as a transphobic monster I say we replace her one popular quote about “turning on the light” with a quote by someone far superior….the Only Man™……uncle iroh himself

Let’s not forget to acknowledge Alexandre Dumas this Black History Month
The writer of two of the most well known stories worldwide, The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo was a black man.
That’s excellence.
Let’s not forget that he was played on screen by a white man. And the fact that he was black is barely ever mentioned or the book he wrote inspired by his experiences.
Other things not to forget about Alexandre Dumas:
- chose to take on his slave grandmother’s last name, Dumas, like his father did before him.
- grew up too poor for formal education, so was largely self-taught, including becoming a prolific reader, multilingual, well-travelled, and a foodie, resulting in his writing both a combination encyclopedia/cookbook (which just— is fucking outrageous to me) AND the adaptation of The Nutcracker on which Tchaikovsky based his ballet
- he also wrote a LOOOOT of nonfiction and fiction about history, politics, and revolution, bc he was pro-monarchy, but a radical cuss, and that got him in a lot of hot water at home and abroad.
- even beyond that, he generally put up with a lot of racist bullshit in France, so he went and wrote a novel about colonialism and a BLATANTLY self-insert anti-slavery vigilante hero (which he then cribbed from to write the Count of Monte Cristo, the main character of which, Edmond Dantés, Dumas also based on himself).
- (…a novel which also features a LOAD of PoC beyond the Count, and at LEAST one queer character, btw, bc EVERY MOVIE ADAPTATION OF ANYTHING BY DUMAS IS A LIE; seriously, at LEAST one of the four Musketeers is Black, y'all.)
- famously, when some fuckshit or other wanted to come at Dumas with some anti-Black foolishness, Dumas replied, “My father was a mulatto, my grandfather was a Negro, and my great-grandfather a monkey. You see, Sir, my family starts where yours ends.”
- for the bicentennial of his birthday, Pres. Jacques Cirac was like, “…sorry about the hella racism,” and had Dumas’s ashes reinterred at the Panthéon of Paris, bc if you’re gonna keep the corpses of the cream of the crop all together, Dumas’s more widely read and translated than literally everybody else.
- and they are still finding stuff old dude wrote, seriously; like discovering “lost” works as recently as 2002, publishing stuff for the first time as recently as 2005.

I am absolutely ashamed to admit I had NO idea Dumas was black.
when this post first went around (a year ago apparently) I was like BUT WHAT ABOUT DADDY DUMAS THOUGH because basically
- daddy general dumas was an immense fierce french warrior who was a 6 foot plus, stunningly gorgeous and charismatic Black gentleman
- he invaded egypt
- the native egyptians said “is this napoleon? this must be napoleon. we for one welcome our majestic new overlord”
- then napoleon showed up
- napoleon has all the presence of yesterday’s plain Tesco hummus
- the native egyptians were like “… no… no, we’ve thought very hard and we’ll have General Dumas actually”
- this did not make napoleon happy
- in fact it made him jealous
- napoleon felt so emasculated that he launched a campaign of revenge against General Dumas, including taking away his pension, that probably inspired a lot of Alexandre’s rather satisfying scenes in which fathers are nobly avenged and the money-grubbing villains are rubbed in the mud

I was never taught that he was Black either. WTF.
General Dumas (aka Thomas Alexandre Davy de La Pailleterie) looked like this…
…and like this…
…while “Napoleon has all the presence of yesterday’s plain Tesco hummus“…
:-D
I suspect Alexandre Dumas would have laughed at that, because besides looking like someone who laughed a lot…
He was also born in present-day Haiti. Back then, it was the French colony of Saint-Domingue.
ooooooh well then
There are legit no limits to how much I adore Alexandre Dumas, none at all, and I will fite anyone who claims that casting a black man as a musketeer (like BBC did a few years back) is somehow wrong ALSO look at his hair that is a Fierce ‘do for someone living in the age of pomaded slick hair and artificial whipped cream-y waves.
“Make mistakes, learn from ‘em, and when life hurts you, because it will, remember the hurt. The hurt is good. It means you’re out of that cave.”
