i'm not the praying sort, but i'll probably always have a soft spot for the astronaut's prayer

for those who aren't familiar with it, it's a possibly-spurious quote by alan shepard (and is thus sometimes referred to as the shepard's prayer) on the launchpad of Freedom 7, immediately before he became the first american in space. it goes like this:

"Dear Lord, please don't let me fuck up."

Writing sex scenes and fighting scenes are the same. There are strange noises and too many body parts. There is a hand I don't know where it came from or there is an arm and suddenly the arm is gone and I don't know where it went.

A 1950s newspaper detailing the third marriage of Robert Allen (1914-1997), a trans man.

Daily Mirror issue from Friday, August 30th 1957.

Robert was a trans man from Lancashire, England. He was one of the very first people to legally change sex in the United Kingdom in 1943. Robert led a quiet life and after his 1957 newspaper appearance (pictured above) remained out of the public eye until his death in 1997 at the age of 83.

Somehow, this article is more respectful to trans people than many current news.

“Mr Allen, dapper in a grey suit…”

“Everyone here knows Mr Allen had announced a change of sex. […] But no one seemed to worry about it.”

“Mr Allen first told his amazing story…”

It’s truly shocking how much nicer this 1957 newspaper is to Robert than many current news has been to Dylan Mulvaney.

can’t trust anyone who criticises the mamma mia movie. like wtf are you even criticising. the plot?? the characterisation?? my brother in christ they put meryl streep, colin firth and amanda seyfried on an island, got them drunk and asked them to sing abba songs in the campest way possible that’s LITERALLY. IT. by this point you have to just assume that you’re the problem.

bitches be like "but we never learn who her father is!!" uh yeah we do she has Three??
