i’m so glad we’re finally talking about Goncharov 1973 because Katya… Katya Goncharov… all i’m saying that dress up scene does shit to me 

#bye tumblr 2022 it’s been fun

Okay so let’s do another poll because I forgot to add half of tumblr history in the last one

[ID art of a leather jacket with text that reads, “I thought that my life would suddenly improve if I got a leather jacket and I was literally 100% totally right.”]

realizing I could technically say “yeah my mother wanted a girl so she dressed me like a little girl” to explain my childhood photos and it would technically be correct and win me much more sympathy than just saying I’m trans

“you’re right it IS weird to force children to live as a gender they know they are not”

New York police officer fires his .38 service revolver at almost point-blank range into a piece of bulletproof glass, with a very brave test subject behind it, 1931.

What experimental value does a whole living guy add to this

Cops don’t shoot their guns if there’s no potential for civilian harm. It’s a motivator.

🌄 It’s another Monday morning, and we are getting there! Slowly, but surely, we are not only making our way through winter, we have made it through the longest days (and for that, I think we ought to offer ourselves a little congrats, no matter how quietly). That in itself can only be a good thing for our collective wellbeing, and as those brighter months are only ever getting closer. Though it may not always feel like it, and throw into that life’s many other stresses and pressures, it can feel like an awful lot. An awful lot of awful, in fact. 

But do not fear! Because we have a little something that can make a big big change. Just ten minutes of meditation can help to balance things out and quiet it down in the chaos and noise of each day. So for this Mindful Monday, we have just that! This morning it’s time for Inner Peace Meditation to help you relax when things get a little bit stressful. It calms your mind and relaxes your body. 🧘 

However, if we’re going to meditate, we are going to need a guide. This week, introducing your host is Elisa Solinas, from HealHaus! She is a certified meditation guide and yoga teacher, and integrates modern and ancient teachings into classes. She is a trauma-informed practitioner, and prioritizes embodiment and self-empowerment 🦾 She first gravitated to the wellness space to find healing from ancestral trauma, deal with grief, and mend a physical injury. And now, with more than 13 years experience, she has worked and lived in London, Berlin and the Middle East, and worked across creative and international news and non-profit for companies like TED Talks, Al Jazeera English, NBC, Vimeo, Gizmodo, and now CNN digital. 💫

We’d love it if you could join us for just ten minutes of quiet breathing here on Tumblr Live. And you never know what big little differences this time might make…

a sapphic take (haha) of Caitlyn and Vi for @caitvizine i did earlier this year! so glad to have been part of the team <3

leftover sales just opened i think so go grab some stuff if you haven't! come see them all in their gloryyyy

i’m working on a play about 65-year-old lesbians, and my dramaturg is an older gay man who has been helping me with historical context and research, and also just in general giving me advice based on his own personal experiences.

fav thing he told me so far, said with a lot of love: “dyke drama was specific. it was always so specific. it was precise and narrowed and pointed. and also so dumb.”

also spoke to an older lesbian professor. i was asking her all these questions about marches and protests and summits and infighting and rallies and “what was it like what did this mean to you what was it like to experience that?”

and she kinda stared at me for a bit and said, “you know, it was a lot. and it was big and it did feel revolutionary. but also at that time i was mainly focused on getting my heart broken in a bar.”

and like. yeah.

another thing my dramaturg told me, from the perspective of a gay man who lived through the 80’s, was that whenever a young gay person asks him what the dating and play scene used to be like, he answers:

“we went to rallies and funerals.”

our persistence in our continued existence is big and scary and revolutionary, and the grief stretches on and the losses hit hard.

and because of that, i think it’s important to remember the dumb drama, and the first loves, and the first heartbreaks over beer. i think it’s important to go to rallies and vigils, and also dive bars and game nights.

it’s all so big and so small.

to sleep? perchance to fucking sleep?

Brown eyes are so iconic and beautiful

Green eyes are even more iconic and beautiful.

If i met a white person irl I’d beat the shit out of them and mug them just because of this post. Because of you. Maybe even kill them. Because of you. You had to say this and now some random cracker bitch is gonna die. Are you happy? Was it worth it?

Underrated moment in Goncharov (1973) when the grandfather clock stops the moment Katya leaves the parlor and then it cuts to Andrei winding up his pocketwatch…
