Queer as fuck. He/him, old enough to be your dad, writer.

book David was the original old man fighting for his life against a manic gay vampires part 2

I really need the VC fandom to realize how far Book David had to crawl so AMC IwtV Old Maniel could walk at an age appropriate pace run

Like, I’m not pulling at straws here. Lestat was 100% the first old man fucker of the crew. His thirst? Unquenchable. His daddy issues? Unmatched.

in hindsight, it makes a lot of sense that macklemore would happily release a free palestine song that is AS balls-out anticapitalist and antiimperialist as it is, considering in 2011 he won a grammy with a song all about being poor and spending your money wisely while still being cool and looking fresh, bemoaning blind consumption.

it was a small domino to start with, sure, but the trail is there.

yes!

and that person just happened to be the person who is currently the most celebrated rapper in the world, Kendrick Lamar! he was apologizing for winning over Good Kid, M.a.a.d. City!

“You got robbed. I wanted you to win. You should have. It’s weird and it sucks that I robbed you.”

funny enough, he did NOT apologize to the other artists, and two of them are Drake and Kanye, which is EXTRA hilarious considering how well that decision also aged.

a lot of people are bringing up a very good point:

Macklemore has been an ally this whole fucking time, making whole songs dedicated to LGBT and BLM stuff. nobody ever talked shit about him for anything other than being uber-corny.

i think now that we're in the post-cringe era there's a lot of people remembering where we left him and thinking "oh fuck im so sorry white boy"

LA CASA TELEMATIC | THE TELEMATIC HOUSE, 1983 (THREE DIMENSIONAL / TWO DIMENSIONAL MEMORY)

The “Telematic house” exhibition created at the Milan Fair (with Gianfranco Bettetini and Aldo Grasso) was an initial, isolated experiment to explore the implications of bringing the growing electronic memory together with the domestic space

I am obsessed with this.

the Star Wars universe is great because you read enough you eventually find out things like the fact that the Stormtrooper whose armor Luke stole in Episode IV was gay and in an affair with fucking Grand Moff Tarkin, which is a completely canonical fact that I am not making up.

The next time you watch a New Hope, keep in mind Luke is wearing the armor of a man who knew Tarkin sexually. The armor Luke is wearing when he says the iconic line “I’m Luke Skywalker, I’m here to rescue you” has more than likely been on the floor of Tarkin’s bedroom.

since I’m getting naysayers about this again!

  • The actual officer whom the trooper is in a relationship goes unspecified within the book, and isn’t listed as Tarkin specifically
  • However.
  • The officer is described as; wearing a grey suit, continuously bragging about the strength of the Death Star, and having the highest level of clearance aboard the Death Star, which is how he is able to send secret messages to TK-421
  • At one point the officer says he won’t be interrogating Princess Leia because Darth Vader will be doing it, meaning he’s definitely high enough in the chain of command to know that about Vader
  • At one point the officer jokes he just gave an “explosive” demonstration. The story takes place right around the time Alderaan is blown up. 
  • According to someone on Reddit, the Audible version of the story uses Tarkin’s voice for the officer in question
  • It’s Tarkin.

I have this book and the Audible version and can confirm that nearly every word of this is true (note: the voice is, like, obviously not Peter Cushing, but it’s… pretty clearly Tarkin) except! There is one note here that is ABSOLUTELY incorrect.

That armor has never been on the floor of Tarkin’s bedroom. He is very proud of his carpet and the armor goes on the chair by his bed.

Note: the country hick accent thing is because this is their first in-person meeting and TK-421 thinks Tarkin will be into that.

You guys are never gonna believe this but the author was a marine biologist

There are many benefits to being a marine biologist

I came back yesterday night from Auvergne: now I understand why Anne Rice chose it as a perfect vampire settings. My colleagues and I surnamed the "French Transylvania" for the gothic vibes (ancient obscure forests, old volcanoes, loneliness, spooky vibes, dark grey lights and starry nights).

I made a little collage for everyone to enjoy.
