Queer music is impossible to define because we are not a monolith and we all have our own tastes and styles but it sure is not harry styles and taylor swift

The way they moved the NARC ON THIS POST NOW button to where the add tags button was and where your thumb naturally rests after hitting reblog/post is eroding my ability to ascribe tumblr's obsession with SFW to just clumsy compliance bullshit and is leading me to believe theyre listening to the 3% of pearl clutching american evangelicals who cite "might see a boob on my dash in public" as their sole reason for having moved to tiktok

Or their UI design lead is left handed. Which is worse.

okay lets settle this

Usually the majority is correct

This isn't one of those times

Yes it is

This applies more to actual media than to jokey internet posts but I’m tired of characters who are on casual terms with horrific things yet somehow still use horrific terminology to describe them, that horror comedy that’s like “oh that’s just the sound of an incomprehensible formless abomination, must be tuesday!” is too fake sounding to be funny.

Anyone at that stage of familiarity would either be describing it in very banal words like “oh that’s the big ugly blob thing” OR, at an even later stage, they’d give it a funny pet name and attach some kind of in-joke to it and that’s where you can make it alarmingly funny again. Like imagine you’re in someone’s house and suddenly the whole place is shaking like an earthquake, there’s purple light coming in through the windows, you hear this overwhelmingly loud chorus of inhuman babbling from all directions, and somebody’s just like “IT’S STICKY BOBO!!!!” and then they all laugh and keep repeating “HE MOIST!!!! HE MOIST!!!” with no further context. That is far more confusing and upsetting than if they straight up tell you it’s some kind of cthulhu.

The bartender asks, “What’s wrong, buddy?” The Möbius strip replies, “Where do I even begin?”

This is the standard winged nightjar and it has one singular stupidly big feather on each wing... if you even care.

Love this guy

That’s standard as in “pennant” or “banner”, not standard as in “normal”.

But it’s not a pennant-winged nightjar. THIS is a pennant-winged nightjar… if you even care.

can’t forget the Lyre-tailed Nightjar! there’s actually a number of these ridiculous guys, and they’re partly why caprimulgiforms are some of my favorite birds

also the Sickle-winged Nightjar, which is. come on, that’s just a weird moth

Everyone does care about nightjars 🥹

Happy pride.

me - any time i feel sleepy - in the year of our lord 2023:

Happy pride from the second floor former gloryhole at my workplace. Never forget what they took from us.

To all the besties being like "that's not a gloryhole, it's way too high" y'all are really overestimating how high off the ground these urinals are. The top of the porcelain is roughly waist level (I'm even pretty short with my 5'7" ass) practically lining up with the former hole 🤔 tell me more about the library I work at that used to be known as the campus cruising spot though.

actually gonna cry reading about the guy who created miffy he looks so jolly

I think this is so neat and to all my trans followers - if you ever need help remembering just how valid and real you are, please look at this!

Happy Trans Day of Visibility to you all, trans people have always existed and will always exist, you're valid and loved and completely accepted with me and I support and love you to the moon and back and beyond.

"As soon as we die, we enter into fiction. Just ask two different family members to tell you about someone recently gone, and you will see what I mean. Once we can no longer speak for ourselves, we are interpreted."

— Hilary Mantel, from Reith Lectures, Resurrection: The Art and Craft

Fur Beetles (The House) "A contractor (who happens to be a rat) throws his whole life and savings and loans into flipping a house hoping to earn himself a good life doing so, only to find out it's infested with a type of bug called a fur beetle, and their hairy, worm-like larva. He tries desperately to get them out and exterminate them so that he can sell this house, to no avail. Eventually, when he tries to show the house, two oddly bug-shaped rats show up and refuse to leave, obsessed with mold and chewing on fabric. And, eventually, they invite their whole giant family over as well. As he's despairing over this situation, fur beetles come out from his walls and ceiling, putting on a whole little song and dance number for him, just to taunt him.

He tries to chase them all out of his house with bug spray, only to make himself ill and sent to the hospital. The strange rats kindly pick him up and bring him home, where they and the rest of their family are throwing him a Welcome Home party, revealing that they're all strange beetle-rat hybrids, and they're not going anywhere. Soon, the house becomes a compete trashed pigsty, the beetle-rats devouring all the furniture, burrowing in the walls, and covering it all in filth. The contractor, still trapped there, loses it and seems to revert into a feral, animalistic rat, eating garbage and scurrying around in the house the beetles infested."

Gregor Samsa (The Metamorphosis) "For one thing, he gets turned into a big bug, but what I think matters more is that his transformation sheds light to the unhealthy dynamics of his family, it reveals it's toxicity, the corruption at it's core, if you will. Also, unwillingly or not, he definitely strikes fear in people."
