having a personal sense of style is gay culture and the reason why gay men are seen as fashionable and lesbians as tacky is because the standards are so low for men and so high for women send post
and FURTHERMORE the standards set for women are centered around how appealing they are to men and not actually about style at all a lot of the time. Lesbian style doesn’t care what men find attractive and is therefore considered “wrong”
People are always so surprised by my relationship to animals, they think I should “love” them a whole lot more than I do. But in 24 years I think the most important thing I’ve learned about caring for animals is that love is not actually a huge part of it. I mean it is, obviously. But it’s so damaging too, it’s like the antithesis to balance. Unchecked it results in dogmatic, self-serving fervor. More important than love to your relationship with animals: respect, understanding, critical thinking, thoughtfulness, kindness, gentleness. Empathy. Perspective. Distance and space when necessary. The ability to let go.
This. I’ve seen so many “well loved” animals suffering at the hands of their owners. People who “love” their dogs allow them to be matted or obese. People who “love” their cats declaw them. People who “love” their fish keep them in bowls. People who “love” their hamsters keep them in Critter Trails. Many “loved” pets are not euthanized when it is time because their owner “loves” them too much to let them go.
Remember: Just as a relationship with an abuser or a toxic person can involve a real depth of feeling, there is so much more to any healthy relationship than love.
The last thing I’ll say about John McCain is he had a very devastating illness and got to die relatively pain free, surrounded by his family and loved ones after spending his life denying his fellow Americans those same comforts. He was not a good person, and no amount of media coverage and public eulogies will make him that.
remember, mothman was never described as a moth or even insectoid, and certainly nothing like the (disgraceful, lore unfriendly) statue it has. remember that mothman is a large, shambling humanoid with no discernable head and gigantic eyes that likes to chase cars, cause radio interference, look at you through windows, induce nausea, and menace young couples. remember that its presence foretells disaster. remember that it ate someones dog. if you cant respect the real chaotic neutral thing then just go home………………….
the only thing accurate about the statue is the ass
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.
