I think Mark Hamill said it best ❤️💔
yeah it’s not always good to label people and ‘put them into boxes’, but also sometimes people like discovering boxes and placing themselves inside because they’re cosy and comfortable and they fit just right. words like fat and black and disabled and gay and trans aren’t bad, and people are allowed to put themselves into boxes if it helps them establish their identity
People are like cats. They don’t like being forced into a box, but give them a box that’s comfy and feels right to them, and they will crawl right into it and have a sit.
and let’s take a moment to appreciate the fact that michelangelo had probably never seen a girl naked and when he want to sculpt or paint them his mentality seems to be “wow, everyone likes women….they must be like…..buff dudes. i love buff dudes. women are buff dudes but with little chest lumps and no wiener”
“nailed it.”

And my personal favorite, Adam and Eve
he literally painted adam and steve
I am in the absolute SHITTIEST mood right now, but this actually made me laugh out loud.
The NYC Met museum had an exhibition where a projection of the Sistine chapel was paired with a bunch of Michelangelo’s sketches.
My friends… EVERYONE KNEW HE WAS GAY. He wasn’t even trying to hide it.
He drew portraits of and for his crushes and boyfriends. He had KNOWN lovers and he definitely had a thing for young brawny men.
Historians: “oh, I’m such a genius, this man is referenced as his favourite. His love must have been a lecherous secret. Dirty, perverted, secretive.”
Michelangelo:
I am laughing so much rn bless this

2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]
I’m reblogging this again because I finally realized why this is so funny to me, as a bird person.
In the first gif, what you’re seeing is a man who has zero idea how to handle a bird. That’s a heavy bird, and he’s got his arm stretched out as far as it will go in an attempt to keep the bird away from his face. What that does is create unstable footing for Uncle Sam. The handler is there trying to hold up Trump’s arm, but the bird has already realized it needs to leave or it will fall. In the first gif the bird is not attacking Trump- it is trying to get away from him so it doesn’t get hurt.
In the second gif, what we see is a bird that remembers what just happened and is blaming Trump for it. Uncle Sam sees Trump reach for its tether, and makes a lunge at Trump’s hand to keep him away. The bird /does not/ want to hang out with Trump because it has learned that Trump has no idea what he is doing.
Uncle Sam is rejecting Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam. And that is both hilarious and beautiful.
Good bird.
Always reblog Uncle Sam telling Trump to fuck off
This is a better explanation of these gifs than I could have given!
I had to reblog this, for obvious reasons.
Or, you know, maybe you’re just racist…
It’s probably that…
I’m afraid I’ll have to ask you to be more specific.
The type of the mother I’m trying to be. Not just encourage bodily autonomy, but reward displays of it, even when it might make someone else in the room uncomfortable.

I’ve made so many people uncomfortable in supporting my daughter’s personal space. People will try to hug her, she’ll sometimes say “No, thank you” and the adult will look at me to make her do it, but I just say “It’s ok honey, you don’t have to hug anyone you don’t want to.” It makes people irrationally huffy, making me feel even more justified in supporting my daughter’s choices. Creeps.
I legit had to mom-voice some random woman with a “she said no!” when she tried to force a hug on Madison. (who was not very good at verbalizing to people she didn’t know/trust at the time)
She replied, “I just want a hug, it won’t hurt her.”
Me: She. Said. No.
There aren’t many things more important than letting my daughter know that I have her back when it comes to something like this.
I work with five year olds and I had a very long talk with them about permission and that your body belongs to yourself and no one else. “Even if you want to hug your friend, you need to stop and ask if it’s okay and if they don’t want you to touch them, you should respect that choice and not do it.” they were like “cool” and then every time after that they had no problem asking their friends “can I give you a hug?” Or “can I hold your hand?” Very politely. If their friend said no, they shrugged and went on with their life. They even started asking me if they could hug me or if it was okay to hold my hand when they were sad. And I always ask when they need comfort “do you need or want a hug?” If they say no, I ask “okay, let me know what we can do as a class to help you feel better. Quiet time? Do you want a stuffed animal? Sit on the couch? Do you need some time alone?” They verbalize what they need and they become aware of their own autonomy and their ability and power to say “no.” Just because someone is an adult does NOT give them the right to hug a child who has said “no” or “no thanks.” Teach then that they own their own body, and no one else is in charge of it. Teach them the power of NO.
Spiderman 3 idea: Peter Parker is played by Tom Holland, Andrew Garfield, and Tobey Maguire at random intervals during the movie. They replace each other from scene to scene. At one point, Tobey Maguire enters a bathroom, Tom Holland goes into a stall, and Andrew Garfield steps out. There is a moment when there's two spidermen on screen.
Nobody question or even notices it.
But Deadpool has a cameo and does notice it, but goes with it.
anyone else get the constant fear that there are unspoken social rules you dont know about (especially in new situations, like when i first started taking the bus, i was afraid i was doing it wrong lol) so youre just always on edge and kind of… watching how other people act so you can copy the “correct” thing to do
If you look at the world and say “Yes, there are enough homes for people, yes, there is enough food for people, but if we give it away for free they won’t have earned it and the economy will collapse.” Then you have chosen money (a constructed medium of exchange) over living beings who only want to continue living in peace and safety.
And I have no qualms telling you, that is the wrong choice, and you have been brainwashed by this destructive, exploitative system.
ahhhh, I’m happy this one came back.
remember when everyone was reading the hunger games and one of the major themes was how the media toned down all the horrible things that were happening to focus on the bullshit love story and then the books got made into movies and the real life media toned down the horrible things that were happening to focus on the bullshit love story because I still think about that sometimes
don’t forget how the media also sold Capitol-inspired nail polish and remixed the hanging tree song, a song about a guy committing suicide, and played it repeatedly on the radio
The fact that you can’t raise taxes on billionaires even slightly without them pouring money into fascist political movements is, of itself, evidence that billionaires as a class shouldn’t be allowed to exist in the first place.
That and their whole “raise the minimum wage even a little bit and we’ll purposefully go out of our way to vindictively destroy the working class via outsourcing and automation.” I dont know why conservatives bow to this like its something necessary that just happens or even worse good. Its not some natural law. Its an active threat made by the bourgeoisie against the rest of us that reads “back off the wealth we’ve stolen from you or else”. Instead of kowtowing to these threats we should do the sensible thing and facilitate their demise. Because God knows they’re busy trying to facillitate ours
