Trelane asking “is your species predatory?”

And Spock replying “no, but there have been exception.” is the Vulcan version of fuck around and find out.

Barbie (2023) really had Barbie say “hey. I know the reason you hurt me is because I hurt you. I’m sorry I hurt you, because you didn’t deserve that. I know you are a better person than this, and you are fully capable of being that person. I can’t change the past, and I don’t think we can be in each other’s lives anymore without hurting each other, but i am sorry and I want you to be happy. I want you to find your identity and love yourself and live.” and then she realizes she’s also talking about herself.

she’s saying “I deserve to live. We both deserve to live.” it is one of the kindest things I have ever seen done to someone and to themselves in any piece of media ever

I like how teens are too young to figure out their sexuality unless its heterosexual

Idk how people find this old post like once a week but I will say as a closeted 15 year old nothing can describe how much confidence it gave me that everyone agreed with me. That it’s all bullshit. I was so angry and frustrated at the world not taking me seriously, and the thousands and thousands of people reblogging showed me that I wasn’t alone. I wasn’t crazy and heteronormativity is all bullshit. Being queer is as natural as breathing air.

Y'know what you call a Tempest domain cleric?

an air friar

Oh no one in your party resists lightning and thunder damage? Clearly you don't own an air friar.

gay people can never just be like “that guys hot” its always gotta be shit like “Open the pod bay doors, HAL.” and “I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that.”

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.

It’s recently been found that even hive insects rest. Bees will play with colorful toys. Ants sleep for about 1 minute but they do it so frequently it amounts to a few hours per day. Even trees take breaks.

The only things that work without rest are machines; literally everything that lives requires rest.

EVERYTHING THAT LIVES REQUIRES REST. STOP JUDGING YOURSELF FOR NOT BEING A ROBOT.

And even machines need to rest all the time. Even unfeeling blobs of steel need maintenance, upkeep, and care. They need to be turned of every now and then to cool down.

Rest is sacred

Hello i'm a normal person here's some stuff i drew to illustrate different traits different "person getting controlled" tropes can have

The most beautiful footage of strangers dancing in public… https://twitter.com/Thorayaaa/status/1660180658646568967

its like a real life version of that children’s song with the magic bridge that you had to dance across

Highlights: --all the old people --one dude who starts doing the Cotton-Eye Joe and has the steps on lock --quinceañera girl with a dress bigger than the circle --lots of kids but particularly the dude who's doing the helicopter with his little girl --an entire section of Millennials doing dance moves I recognize, oh the nostalgia

Aaaaaah I love this

the rise in sex negativity amongst young queer people in recent years coinciding with the overall rise in conservative and particularly evangelical christian ideology is genuinely terrifying. i understand that unpacking ideas you've been taught since childhood is hard work but in the current political climate it's absolutely vital that you do not regurgitate queerphobic talking points (which queer people have been fighting against for decades). people are going to die, and it is our responsibility to minimise the damage, because governments and corporations sure as hell aren't going to.

#and dont yall DARE blame asexual people for this #ive literally seen ace people attacked under this same rhetoric because our identity is also too mature to explain to kids #because the absence of sexual orientation also requires explaining sex to children apparently (no it doesnt) #conservatives fukking hate asexuals (esp ace women) for not being baby factories and sex toys for men #and hate ace men for not being manly and playing the patriarchal sexual role how they think they should

Media in general is slowly but surely sanitising sex and glorifying war and violence more and more. These are the Christian family values that have been shoved down your throats. Fuck that. Stop buying the corporate bullshit. Sex is a vital part of the human condition. Sex is fun and healthy and natural. Sex BELONGS in the public eye. Kink belongs in the public eye. If you see something and it upsets you then you need to unpack WHY it upsets you. If everyone involved are consenting adults your discomfort is very much a you problem.

Fucking question the values that evangelicals have hammered into you my loves. They want you gone as well.

Adding on to that if your argument is "I should not be forced to see *insert whatever here*" I shall remind you that you have the ability to look away

my favorite thing about “fbi/nsa agent monitoring my computer” things is it implies that there is at least one agent for every single person on earth with a computer

not really. like i know this is a shitpost but just in case folks aren’t aware: the fbi and nsa and whatev gov agencies do monitor all internet traffic. The idea tho is to catalogue and scan for things like keywords and other data analysis and use that info to flag accounts/ip addresses/identities. Basically, building massive databases of information on all people just in case you become a threat to the state.

Think of it like an automatic file being built on every single person in real time. Should you do anything to warrant state suppression, your file may be flagged for further investigation which may lead to being actively tracked or suppressed (as evidenced in the past with COINTELPRO)

so no, there isn’t an agent per person. But you bet your ass there is a profile of you that connects all your electronic activity (including GPS data/metadata and tracking via MAC addresses, user agents and/or unique hardware identifiers) to intelligence agencies.

of course, much of this is intended to specifically instill fear, uncertainty, and doubt as part of a larger culture of fear.

but I figure it is better to know what’s going on so you can understand what’s happening.

so anyway, yeah, shit’s real yo.

hhh this is uh… kinda terrifying.

Hey remember when this was exposed and not a single person in the US government went to jail or even lost their job over it

Remember 10 years ago when you were considered an insane and paranoid conspiracy theorist if you spoke about anything related to mass surveillance

Now everyone has just accepted it like it’s the new normal without a second thought

Remember when the guy that proved it was all real, and the guy who released the info, both had the US go after them rather than the agencies, and the media supported it?

I still remember when that guy from CNN was like “only WE are allowed to look at this info so don’t you dare go doing your own research”, about wiki leaks. Almost like the media and the government were in cahoots the whole time and even till now.

His sweatshirt reads, “Pro-child, pro-family, pro-choice”. His sash says “honored guest”. His pin says, “honorary sister”.

yeah u freaks up north look and sound exactly like this when u pretend that us southern queers are perfectly complicit in our own eradication - for the heinous crime of not living in a liberal population center.

i think about this tweet literally every single day

rocky horror is the worst and is also transmisogynistic can we please finally get over this shit movie

ok but like the writer is transgender nonbinary and the language used in the play was the preferred language by trans people of that time can we not deny parts of our history because we’ve evolved since then thanks

So fucking much this.

PS, youth of today: you’ll be saying the same damn thing about art from this time before too long, for good or for ill. Terminology will, in fact, change. Definitions will, in fact, shift. It always does, they always do. 

PPS, it is pretty much impossible to overstate how life-alteringly important this movie was to kids who didn’t conform to standard expectations of gender and sexuality, back in the day. Especially when back in the day was the mid-to-late 1980s, when the only queers you saw on TV were neutered AIDS tragedies, Bowie was playing straight, and even Elton John was married to a woman, and midnight showing of RHPS were pretty much the only place that felt like home. It was mental life raft for a lot of people.

I was one of them.

#the queer youth of today has forgotten all its history and is spitting on its ancestors and i hate it (via @gaythreats​)

beautifully phrased

ALSO IT’S A SATIRE IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AN “OFFENSIVE” PORTRAYAL IT’S MAKING FUN OF STRAIGHT PEOPLE WHO ARE AFRAID OF US IT’S EXAGGERATING THEIR IDEAS OF US TO THE POINT OF LUDICROUSNESS THAT’S THE ACTUAL POINT

also you fail to understand just how many, many people were allowed to be queer for Tim Curry and how many doors that began to open

we say this as someone who was in several closets and first saw the film when we were 18 and that was 1981 ffs this film MATTERED

Rocky Horror kept me alive.

neopronouns are getting so crazy wtf is 9/11

i always remember it being harder than i expect it to be to find video of ramiels screams so heres a little compilation

im glad youre all going above and beyond to get something out of this
