Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?
It was a huge milestone of scientific and technological advancement. (Plus, at the time, politically significant). Humanity went to space! We set foot on a celestial body that was not earth for the first time in human history! That’s a big deal! I’ve never thought about it before but now that I have, it’s ridiculous to me that that’s not part of our everyday lives and the public consciousness anymore. Why don’t we have a public holiday and a family barbecue about it. Why have I never seen the original broadcast of the moon landing? It should be all over the news every year!
It’s July 20th. That’s the day of the moon landing. Next year is going to be the 54th anniversary. I’m ordering astronaut shaped cookie cutters on Etsy and I’m going to have a goddamn potluck. You’re all invited.
Hey. Hey. Tumblr. Ides of March ppl. We can do this
Hell yeah moon holiday
‘death, is only the beginning’ - a Ted Lasso AU
Their expedition to locate the Lost City of Ammaset was funded in full by one nondescript The Honourable R.W. with no further information. Ted had flipped the letter over in his hand several times, searching, he wasn’t sure what for.
The letter was typed, the crest was unfamiliar and the postmark on the envelope stated only that it had originated in Cairo.
Ted saw it as fate. Beard was a touch more sceptical.
“But I didn’t consent to see kink” yes you did by coming to pride,
a place you know and have repeatedly said you know kink is at, a place built by kinky people, the mother of pride Brenda Howard was a queer kinky polyamorous sex positive anti war bisexual Jew and to try and remove its history or sanitise it is is spitting on her grave, you are consenting by choosing to go there
I agree this, but think this ignores the queer youth who would probably like to be involved in events like this, or show their parents that being queer is widely accepted
i used to be in that same boat but honestly i feel like people severely underestimate how few shits kids give about stuff like this. most of them will either be like “huh that’s weird why is that guy wearing a dog mask— WOAH LOOK BALLOONS” or if they actually ask you can just be like “sometimes people like to wear fun costumes” and just leave it at that. most adults who think “oh no! kids are being exposed to sexual stuff!” are coming at it from the perspective of an adult who already knows that these things are associated with kink and sexuality. kids for the most part have no clue, so if you just give them a filler answer like “they just like the way it looks” or “they’re wearing a fun costume” they’ll just accept it and move on. cause honestly kids see more nudity and sexuality in commercials and movies than they do at pride. it’s just that at pride it’s stuff that’s specific to queer sexuality.
Okay, but what if my bi sis wanted to take our Good Christian Parents to a pride parade? My mother couldn’t handle a maid dress and male-titties edit I was doing of the subway CEO (“I prefer modesty” so the nips had to go) so I doubt she could handle any kink.
Yeah, yeah, pride, self-expression, own your sexuality and kink shouldn’t be demonized, I get that, but you want to encourage minors (could be a 17-year-old) or teens of whatever to come, you’ll have to make some sacrifices. Cause I know children don’t care. But teenagers would if they’re trying to bring their parents.
Maybe we could have like “Pride After Dark” that’s like not the parade, but something that showcases the more adult side of queerness. There are many non-adult things about being gay/queer and maybe we can highlight those for certain events over others.
"but you want to encourage minors (could be a 17-year-old) or teens of whatever to come" yeah no buddy, we ain't doing that, actually. You just made that up.
They're allowed to come, of course - if they stay respectful, same as everyone else.
Like yeah, it sucks for them if this means they can't come bc they feel like they can't bring their parents, but that teen's parents don't have more right to be there than kinksters do. Your mom does not have more right to be there than kinksters do. Simple as that. Sucks for your sis, but she'll just have to leave your parents at home if she wants to go.
I love that this argument also completely ignores the MANY pride events specifically geared towards younger people that don't involve kink. Your local high school's GSA party will not have kink. Your local teen and young adult meet-ups will not be hosted by a domme in full gear. You can always organize YOUR OWN events that don't allow kink. You have literally every right to pick and choose what events you do and do not show up at.
For the love of fuck, stop putting it on other people to cater to your specific tastes, and go out there and do your own dance! If the current party is run by people you don't like, stop trying to go to it and just throw your own!

Also if your parents aren't supportive of you, that's a problem they need to work out.
It isn't our job to "teach" your Good Christian Parents to stop being homophobic. It's your parents' job to do their duty and love their children unconditionally.
"but what if it's not palatable enough to a Good Christian Mum that a child can bring her along" do these people know what Pride is and why it exists. Do they think they're going to the town-sponsored christmas pageant. What.

Tumblr is reinventing the medieval calendar, replacing the barren linear sameness of capitalism with frequent cyclical saints’ days and celebrations, and I for one support us
This tweet is just... Odd. Very odd.
Like... You live like this? You write like this? You think like this??
I want to be absolutely clear that, when I write an alcoholic character, it's because I think that alcohol addiction and drinking to excess are cool. Just like when I write a criminal, I'm trying to persuade you, the reader, to take up a life of larceny and murder. Just so long as that's understood.
Oh good, because that's 100% the message I take from fictional media. For instance, I watched Hannibal for recipes and relationship advice.
Say what you will about magical shapeshifters being a lazy plot device, but I Have literally never seen an actor doing the “me pretending to be this other person pretending to be me” bit who wasn’t clearly having a great time.
Body swapping episodes may seem cliche but the actors need them for their enrichment and health and it would be cruel not to give it to them
Unrestrained summer fun 😁
this must be such a delicate experience for a creature that can dive two stories deep and has been seen cliff diving into the ocean
