This is pure art.

For those curious, this was taken at the Oceti Sakowin camp during the No DAPL protests in Cannon Ball, North Dakota. The photograph is titled “Defend the Sacred” by Ryan Vizzions. I did not find the name of the subject on horseback.

Her name was  Marissa Blacklance. #Dakota38 rider, & front line water protector at Standing Rock. She was killed by a drunk driver in January of 2018.  Her mother is using this tragedy to make changes benefitting our community with the Yellow Scarf tribute.

[Image ID: a tweet from @DameKraft on twitter saying, in quotation marks: “All the Trans women I know are so strong and resilient.” Attached is a plane diagram, with red dots across the wings, center, and tail. /end ID]

Context for those who don’t understand: During WWII the Americans hired a statistician whose name I’ve forgotten to help them figure out which part of their planes to reinforce. The above diagram was shown to the statistician, taken from an average of all of the hits on planes in the hangar. Most, upon looking at the diagram, would have said that it would be best to reinforce the wings, or perhaps the tail, or the center. But our statistician knew that the diagrammed hits only came from the planes that had made it back - the planes had survived being hit in the wings, tail, and even the center, and reached the hangar to be recorded on the chart. The part of the diagram with no hits on it, the nose, was the part that he chose to rienforce. Because when the nose was hit, the planes never even made it back to the hangar.

In other words, the reason that all of the trans women you know are so strong and reslient? The ones that weren’t, or were hit in the wrong places when they first came out, never made it back to the hangar.

I think the best most human thing in the world is strangers doing a silly thing together

Examples:

- guy at work "Yes, and -" ing the bit me and my coworker were doing where we pretended to be owners of a fantasy medieval tavern not minimum wage retail staff

- at the gay club when Die Young by Kesha came on and two hundred people, all dancing and drinking separately, jumped up and down to make the "- beat of the drums *STOMP STOMP*" as loud as possible

- person who watched me stomp round the beach singing a made up song about breakfast foods to name a cat after and suggested more breakfast foods that would be good cat names

- guy who started a dance off with everyone across the road while waiting for the lights to change

- very tiny girl at the pharmacy interviewing everyone in the queue and every single one of us in turn sat down and answered this toddler's questions like we were on Letterman

The three pillars of humanity, in no particular order, are Joy, Absurdity, and Sharing

really neat how the community labels feature quickly became a way to harass trans people, particularly trans women, instead of a way to warn people about actually mature subject matter

these tags deserve to be seen

gaslighting germans it’s always morally correct

Loved the follow up to this where the neighbor was confronting her about this video and she was gaslighting her neighbor again by askin if all viatnamese people look the same to them

When my kiddo finally decided (at age 20) that it was time for (most of) his enormous Lego collection to go, it was a gut-wrenching moment for me (goodbye childhood!). However, we used this service, which was simple and hassle-free.

This is wonderful to know.

Reading reviews for havdalah candles written by unsuspecting Christian housewives who bought them to use for dinner candles is my new passion. I’ll be laughing for an eternity.

Imagine letting a candle burn that looks like this once lit:

For an hour.

Dude, get the wine!

Different havdalah candle, same guy.

Pls…

For my goyische followers: Havdalah is a service to mark the end of shabbat and the beginning of the week. The flame is big so that everyone at the service can see it. You also only have it lit for a few minutes before extinguishing it (traditionally in wine). They are not table candles. My guess is that these people bought them because they’re pretty and braided without knowing or caring what they’re used for.

For my Jewish followers: the goyim are at it again.

It needs to be multiple wicks, and I think a tall flame is just what happens in that situation

Super smart

i have seen only a few comments on youtube that evoked a similar feeling and i love them all

king i think it is not fucking sufficient at all. wolftopia or bust

Also Wolftopia is gorgeous by the way

Wolftopia is nearly the size of Saturn and orbits two stars that closely orbit each other!

Wolftopia is OPALESCENT are you KIDDING ME

life becomes so beautiful when you start cooking rice in liquids other than water

put that basmati rice in the cooker with coconut cream and chicken stock and an entire onion that you've diced and sauteed with garlic until transparent. and some salt and pepper. Trust me
