Ok so. On my daily commute I currently switch from bus to train at the airport, and so while walking the 5 minutes from bus stop to train, I do a lot of people watching; business ppl doing important business, pilots, ppl going on and coming from holidays, stewards and stewardesses and so on.

Another group of people I see every day is Jehovah's witnesses, trying to hand out pamphlets and recruit into their cult. They are usually right at the stairs leading down to the train tracks, so I see them (and silently curse them out) every. day.

Now recently I noticed whenever I go from train to bus, that there is a new video ad playing opposite to the cultists, and that ad is entirely carried by a drag queen promoting... idk a car or the fair or some shit. So for the last few weeks onwards, the Jehovah's witnesses get to witness a queer gnc person absolutely slaying, and I think that's beautiful.

I'm just thinking tonight about the bartender at the restaurant I used to work at who, on a slow afternoon, let a homeless man sit at the bar top and eat a bowl of soup and some bread that he didn't have the money to pay for. Soup didn't have to be pushed through the system, so he just gave it to him.

He saw me, knowing that I knew, and said that it never hurts to show someone some kindness. He said we'd probably never see that man again, but he would remember the bowl of soup. He was right. I worked there another two years after that, and I never saw the man again.

It never hurts to show kindness. You don't know what someone else's story is, or why they are where they are.

hey guys youre not gonna believe this but... women.

i think the whole cringe is dead, radical sincerity, depth of genuine emotion, earnest effort, and unironic love thing that tumblr has going on the past few years has transformed my outlook on things and changed me for the better. but it does mean that now the people i know irl will give me strange looks for being too sappy or too poetic or too dedicated or too excited about about something because they're still stuck in their "well i only like this ironically" phase. guess that's their problem tho not mine <3

one of the best things about getting into star wars in the year of 2023 is that when i faced with the question "but what ARE the jedi?" my mind just goes "it's a cultivation sect. it is literally functions as a cultivation sect, the dark side is similar to demonic cultivation and the Force is just like the Qi. end of story".

meanwhile when I read posts about the jedi there a lot of people who compare them to Catholics and I'm like :/ dudes. I'm so sorry you've never been exposed to wuxia/xianxia stories in which cultivation sects get wiped out all the time not because they were bad but because some fucking asshole couldn't stand them

I HAVE to ask ..... Why are so many people so obsessed w Solas. Genuinely in what way does he appeal literally at all. He's not even insane in a fun way, he's just condescending about how dumb he thinks you are without even giving us the entertainment of being cunty about it like Morrigan.

why am i getting these asks

Sending so much respect and love to people whose English is "broken." Whether that is because of disability, immigration, age, you haven't been studying long - it doesn't matter why your English is the way it is.

The best thing about language is how versatile it is - that means there are an infinite number of ways to express yourself. Your broken English is beautiful! It is a vital part of the English language. It doesn't need to be "perfect" to be valuable. There are people out there who will put in the work to make sure both of you are understood, just like you are putting in the work to communicate 💐

Not to be sentimental on main but can you believe how much we’ve been given with ofmd? The normalization of queer relationships on a mainstream comedy show? Where the fact that the two leads are male is never questioned, they are simply allowed to fall in love? And the entire show is based around their love? It’s just so genuinely healing to not be ridiculed for seeing that love and to be actively encouraged by the creative team to root for that love!

I’ve spent 15 years of my life being gaslit by straight audiences to “stop making everything gay” like it’s some kind of sickness to be avoided. And then along comes David Jenkins who looks the audience straight in the eyes and says “This is a love story”. There’s no tiptoeing around it, there’s no subtext, there’s no hand-waving, there’s no vitriol at the queer audience. We get flirting and heartbreak and soft moments and difficult ones. We get enough on screen kisses to make gif sets out of!! And the creators are so normal about it, it gets to be treated like any straight romance does! Like this shouldn’t be revolutionary but it is!

I’m just so grateful to everyone involved in this silly little pirate show for healing decades old wounds, I truly don’t think I can put it all into words.

We went through these motions, just holding our breath in case someone whispers a secret

Good evening, why do you think americans are obsessed with Doctor Zhivago and what do you think of the novel?

I'm being charitable when I say that there are maybe five Russian books that John Liquor American can readily name, and all of them have been made into movies and/or musicals. With Zhivago, part of the reason it became a cultural touchstone so quickly has to do with the circumstances of its publication in the United States during the Cold War, closely followed by the epic David Lean film, in which Omar Sharif is so hot that it hardly matters that the movie itself is mid.

In regards to Zhivago's specific appeal to American sensibilities, I think a lot of it has to do with that adage about how an English language romance begins with a kiss and ends in a wedding, while a Russian language romance will begin with a kiss and end in Siberia. The weddings are fun but after all that stale cake, you want to want, and you want to be left wanting.

My relationship with Doctor Zhivago is that it's fundamental to my understanding of human dignity and human frailty. It is also a very nice love story.

I need someone to do "Different types of attraction" 101 for me. But like, extreme dummy version. I tried to read and listen about it but I still have some trouble with it. What the hell is the difference between sexual, romantic and aesthetic attraction but on like, introspective? Definitions saying shit like "romantic attraction is when you want to form romantic relationship with someone" are not helping

Spoilers ahead, y'all!

Whilst I did make a post about timelines and possible magic and extension of life, somehow, the simple explanation escaped me completely. Especially as someone who lives in Norway, where Winter is half of the year.

When were Lila and Jaysohn born, if they knew their dad half their life? Early Winter. Geoffrey probably died sometime right before Spring, where the snow is still thick and the air still freezing. Let's say, if the plot of the story takes place in September-October, Geoffrey died in March-April, with the kids born around December-January. It would, actually, explain everything. We know, from Viola, that these stoats don't follow normal stoat mating patterns; Viola is having her kids in Autumn. Therefore, who's to say Tula couldn't have Lila and Jaysohn in Winter? They're sapient creatures, who can think and plan. We also get the small glimpse that Tula knows that they may have some control over when they get pregnant, but not always. Who's to say it didn't happen to her, too? What if, that Winter was where Tula gained so much, and nearly lost everything in one moment.

Although, I still believe Ava is overestimating her own age just so she can get away with more things.
