Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions
I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
Happy Pride! This dancer’s name is Mark Kanemura and Carly Rae Jepson brought him onstage to perform Cut To The Feeling at her 2019 NYC tour stop!
Definitely needed to see this right now….

The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh (1977)
Paolo Sebastian, spring 2021 haute couture, “Persephone”
Once in Persia reigned a king Who, upon his signet ring Graved a maxim, true and wise Which, if held before the eyes, Gave him counsel at a glance Fit for every change and chance Solemn words and these are they: “Even this shall pass away.”
Trains of camels through the sand Brought him gems from Samarcand; Fleets of galleys through the seas Brought him pearls to match with these; But he counted not his gain Treasures of the mine or main; “What is wealth?” the king would say; “Even this shall pass away.”
‘Mid the revels of his court, At the zenith of his sport, When the palms of all his guests Burned with clapping at his jests, He, amid his figs and wine, Cried, “O loving friends of mine; Pleasures come, but do not stay; ‘Even this shall pass away.’”
Lady, fairest ever seen, Was the bride he crowned the queen. Pillowed on his marriage bed, Softly to his soul he said: “Though no bridegroom ever pressed Fairer bossom to his breast, Mortal flesh must come to clay – Even this shall pass away.”
Fighting on a furious field, Once a javelin pierced his shield; Soldiers, with a loud lament, Bore him bleeding to his tent. Groaning from his tortured side, “Pain is hard to bear,” he cried; “But with patience, day by day, Even this shall pass away.”
Towering in the public square, Twenty cubits in the air, Rose his statue, carved in stone. Then the king, disguised, unknown, Stood before his sculptured name, Musing meekly: “What is fame? Fame is but a slow decay; Even this shall pass away.”
Struck with palsy, sore and old, Waiting at the Gates of Gold, Said he with his dying breath, “Life is done, but what is Death?” Then, in answer to the king, Fell a sunbeam on his ring, Showing by a heavenly ray, “Even this shall pass away.”
–Theodore Tilton
“Fun fact! Baby elephants, much like human babies, aren’t able to fully control their trunks because their motor skills haven’t fully developed so they plunge their face into the water to drink =)
