Person: “Why are you wearing sweatpants?”

Me:

Girlfriend’s mice tangle their tails when cuddling

what the fuck this is too cute

The whole Pepsi commercial thing reminded me that people always mis-remember the famous flower in the gun barrel photo as being a young woman. It wasn’t. The photo, taken by Bernie Boston, is of George Edgerly Harris III better known by his stage name Hibiscus. He was a member of the San Francisco based radical gay liberation theater troupe the Cockettes. He died of AIDS in 1982 at the time AIDS was still referred to by the name GRID which stood for Gay Related Immuno-Deficiency. The photo was taken at a protest at the Pentagon. 

I had no idea who he was, thank you.

This is one example of the Mandela Effect phenomena, where an iconic moment is reenacted with a hippy woman so many times that people think that’s the story and thus another gay man is written out of history. Thanks for the photo.

I had no idea. Wow.

This photo was taken by Bernie Boston, a black/native man who willingly stood up to a chapter of the KKK and earned their respect among other things

I get the subject is important, but please dont erase Bernie. I knew him personally and he deserves to be remembered and by only remembering the subject, a white man, you erase a black man.

@vaspider could you reblog this version too, please? I am deeply upset by Bernie’s erasure from his own work.

Reblogging for credit to the photographer, and so I can look up his work on desktop later.

*facepalm*

People remember a woman in the photo because there WAS a woman, in ANOTHER (and also iconic) photo from the same event.

It’s called The Ultimate Confrontation: The Flower and the Bayonet and it was taken by Marc Riboud.

Whereas the first one

is called Flower Power and it was taken by Bernie Boston.

“Which one people remember” depends on which people we’re talking about, exactly. In the history of photography, they are both considered LEGENDARY. For a broader audience, Riboud’s photograph with the woman (her name was  Jan Rose Kasmir, and she was 17 years old at the time) is generally more known, for the following mundane and boring reasons:

Personally, I prefer Boston’s photo, exactly because it’s more raw and less… symbolic. But that’s subjective, and among other things it depends on our exposure and experience. If you’d asked me when I was a teenager, I’d probably fawn over Riboud’s take.

tl, dr; There’s no conspiracy here, and no Mandela Effect. There are just two different photos.

a society that allows people to starve when there is food has failed. like. that’s it.

this is fake because the mike myers cat in the hat would not hesitate

Definitely the type of person to take the long way home to listen to more songs

I don’t know if you know this but here’s a live feed of porn searches being made right now. 

#one person is just searching ‘jeremy’ #no other keywords whatsoever #nothing else will suffice #this person can ONLY be satisfied by jeremy #good luck you poor lost soul

I’m cying

Yes, go watch this and see how many times men search the word ‘teen’ and then come back to me with your weak ass ‘Porn is Great’ logic when there are grown men jerking off to teens or who they think are teens

This should be an indicator of how racist and misogynist porn is. People should be worried about how harmful this is and how it sexualises basically everything everyone should be against. Pornographers will sexualise any injustice and cruelty to make it ‘sexy’. Porn is not sexy it is sexist, racist, homophobic and any other kind of discrimination and oppression.

Pornographers are bigots call them out. If you don’t believe me look at what they pornographers do and think. Look at Larry Flint and what he actually thought about women and other oppressed classes. Pornographers are not progressive they hate women and act out their misogyny on women and film it. They are woman haters and abusers. Porn is woman hating propaganda stop watching it.

It should also be an indicator of pedophillia because of the sexualisation of teenage girls (it doesn’t matter if they are over eighteen it still encourages men to go after teenage girls).

i watched this for like 4-5 minutes and all of these came up during that time

Less than half a minute after I clicked, these appeared one after the other:

In less than 5 mins I saw:
