“i liked it before it was cool” well i liked it AFTER it was cool when everyone abandoned it
i get really into shows that aired like 5+ years ago like “have y’all heard of this”
Apparently the first hurricane since 1939 is expected to make landfall in California this weekend. It’s expected that an entire year’s worth of rain will fall in 24-48hrs. Don’t you love climate change?
It’s expected that the hurricane will weaken to a tropical storm before making landfall in Southern California.
Still, as someone who lives in LA, this is deeply concerning. Anyone who lives in Los Angeles knows that the city is DEEPLY unprepared to handle any amount of rain, let alone a TROPICAL STORM. The tiniest amounts of rainfall cause floods in LA, because the city has no drainage systems in place. I’ve seen DRIZZLES cause floods. It takes so little rain to flood LA.
If a tropical storm truly does make landfall in LA, it will have a devastating effect on the city’s very large unhoused population. LA (along with NYC) has the biggest unhoused population in the United States, and these people will be stuck on the flooded streets.
Deeply concerning.
some of my favorite mutuals post entirely about things that i do not understand or care about and our dms are barren like a desert. and yet the warmth of that big hot sun remains between us
getting teary eyed thinking about gerda gottlieb's paintings of her wife after she transitioned
thing is, for a lot of these paintings it wasn’t “after” lily elbe’s transition. there was no after to it. the one op posted was painted in 1928. this was 2 years before lily legally changed her name and began undergoing revolutionary gender affirming procedures. unfortunately she died due to complications of an experimental uterine transplant in 1931.
up until that point, during the day lily continued to dress in masculine clothing and even attended galleries showing gottlieb’s paintings of her. which was kind of iconic. she got to stand in a room full of people who were marveling her beauty, not knowing she was right next to them. it must have been such a cute little secret for them as a couple.
here’s gerda and lilly together
not to mention that for most people there is no real “after” to a transition. especially for these trans historical figures who had to balance identity and safety at all times.
i think having a wife paint these portraits must have felt really amazing for lily. to be able to see herself through the eyes of someone who loved her. i’m very much seconding op on the getting teary eyed.
here are some of my favorite gottleib lily paintings
the catholic old white guy asked me to explain lgbtq+ to him and it was honestly kind of funny
“okay! you have 15 seconds to explain non-binary to me if there are only male and female genders”
me: if you lost your genitals would you still feel like a man?
“no”
would you feel like a woman?
“no?”
so you wouldn’t feel male or female
“yeah what’s your point?”
So, you wouldn’t fit into the gender binary of male or female? :)
him:
“so non-binary just means not feeling male or female?”
Yeah basically
“so why do they use “they” so much”?
if you were a woman would you want to be called a man?
“no…”
And the opposite?
“no…”
Why why would you want someone to call you male or female if you’re not male or female then?”
it’s not a perfect way of thinking but i had 15 seconds and i think it got the point across
if someone challenges you to break through a wall within fifteen seconds, you use a wrecking ball, not precision tools. I think you did marvelously.
we're having a field day over this obama thing huh
wait i didnt mean to include the bottom post
tumblr remove scree shot

obama posted that
I’m a red-blooded corn-fed AMERICAN MAN and if I wanna get my tits chopped off that’s my god-given right as a tax payer.
Why should the government tell me what my gender is? Back in my day we earned our own genders uphill in a blizzard both ways.
Well I think this post has started reaching people that don’t get the joke. It was nice knowing you all.
No but this is hilarious and reminds me of a galaxy-brained shirt I saw the other day
Walk into the nearest Hobby Lobby wearing this and watch people begin to disintegrate
I want that to become my 4th of July shirt. I want to wear that shirt to the family barbecue so bad.
Guess who’s $25 poorer and prepared for July 4th already
i know 196 is a reddit thing but like. what does it mean. what do those numbers represent
r/196 is (was?) the successor subreddit to r/195.
r/195 was just a place for some roomates to post memes, and it was named after their apartment number. There was only one rule: if you visit the sub, you must make a post before leaving. The sub eventually grew in popularity, the original members couldn't keep up with the demands of moderating it, and they closed it down. Soon after, r/196 was born and eventually far outgrew its progenitor.
r/196 also kind of just organically grew into a left-leaning, LGBTQ+ positive space. This was possibly helped because at the start, the only available user flair (a little phrase or icon that appears by your username on posts and comments) was "trans rights".
oh my god the king of norway from 1046 to 1066 harald iii aka hardrada hi thank you so much welcome to tumblr in the year 2023
Thank you, my thane, for the kind welcome! If only the rest of my subjects were as loyal as lathiat! Truly all that other vikings know today is how to polish their armor and drink mead. They can't even navigate by the stars or raid a monastary!

Hi garrett
‘redditors need to know this’, ‘twitterinas need to know that’… no. you need to know one thing and that is that you are not allowed to complain about werewolf fuckers. this is the werewolf fucking website. grow up and go fuck a werewolf.
What does this gif have to do with werewolves?
if you have to ask you’re not ready
can you explain? i don’t get it
This is like someone just informed the newcomers about the devils sacrament taking place every full moon and the devil itself popped up asking “what sacrament?” with a cheshire grin.

Okay, so.
In the film adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring, Frodo gets stabbed by a troll’s spear, and there’s this big dramatic scene where he reveals that he’s been wearing Bilbo’s old mithril corslet under his shirt the whole time.
In the book, Frodo doesn’t tell anyone about the mithril corslet until much later, as the Fellowship is busy running for their lives at the time, and the orcs aren’t kind enough to pause their assault for long enough for the Fellowship to have a mid-battle bonding moment:
Aragorn picked up Frodo where he lay by the wall and made for the stair, pushing Merry and Pippin in front of him. The others followed; but Gimli had to be dragged away by Legolas: in spite of the peril he lingered by Balin’s tomb with his head bowed. Boromir hauled the eastern door to, grinding upon its hinges: it had great iron rings on either side, but could not be fastened.
“I am all right,” gasped Frodo. “I can walk. Put me down!”
Aragorn nearly dropped him in amazement. “I thought you were dead!” he cried.
“Not yet!” said Gandalf. “But there is no time to wonder.”
Meaning that in the book version, for most of the span between the battle at Balin’s tomb and reaching Lothlórien, apart from Gandalf – who obviously figures it out straight away – the Fellowship have no idea how Frodo survived a troll-spear to the guts with nothing but bruised ribs to show for it. What did they think was going on?
You think you’re joking, but after the stabbing incident and before the mithril corslet is revealed, this exchange happens:
“Well,” said Aragorn, “I can only say that hobbits are made of a stuff so tough that I have never met the like of it. Had I known, I would have spoken softer in the Inn at Bree! That spear-thrust would have skewered a wild boar!”
“Well, it did not skewer me, I am glad to say,” said Frodo.
So, I mean.
“Are hobbits indestructible?” asks Aragorn. “Sure, why not,” Frodo replies.
“that character is a war criminal” that character is from a fictional fantasy world and did not attend the geneva convention
