Welcome to the trash dump

I think the most fun part of monsters inc is boo calling sulley “kitty” and mike wazowski by full government name

Hearing a Canadian accent is like a flashbang. They talk like an American then, Boom, they say some shit like aboot or surry or bayg.

tumblr are you telling me something

emily gwen, the creator of the sunset lesbian flag that we’ve come to commonly use, still continues to live in poverty.

multi-billion dollar companies have used their design and made profit from it, and yet they have not seen a cent for their creation.

i’ve been friends with emily for years, and i have not once seen them be financially stable the entire time. i’ve seen them homeless, unemployed, starving. right now, they need our help more than ever.

please consider donating to emily’s ko-fi, especially if you’ve used their design to create something and profited from it.

MY FRIEND EMILY DESPERATELY NEEDS HELP RIGHT NOW.

PLEASE REBLOG THIS AND CONSIDER DONATING TO KEEP THEM AFLOAT, EVEN IF YOU CAN’T GIVE TOO MUCH. THEY DO NOT HAVE CONSISTENT AND STABLE HOUSING RIGHT NOW AND NOBODY IS HIRING EVEN IF THEY’RE APPLYING TO JOBS DAILY. EMILY’S BILLS ARE PILING UP AND THEY’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF THERAPY + PSYCHIATRIST + DOCTOR’S APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE THEY CAN’T AFFORD IT.

taboo kinks like pedophilia/rape/incest are not innate to transfemininity or to queerness or to autism and this current wave of attempts to naturalize them as such is alarming and suspicious

i want to add because people are rightly pointing it out in the tags that this is a white phenomenon and that the taboos i listed are not actually taboo to white heteropatriarchy

i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

on firefox: settings → search "cookies" → scroll down → "manage cookies" → tumblr should be at the very top because of how much space it's taking → select it → clear cookies → save changes. done

It is with great pleasure that I inform you all that today is the most Wednesday-ist day of the year

brutalist candy cane

you. american adult with a drivers license. can you tell me who has the right of way at a 4 way stop

The strongest

"the early 2010s were better" no they weren't. "hey soul sister" was on the radio.

The fact that it took Fincher sending him a copy of the script to realize why his wife left him.

girl what the fuck is happening to Drew Carey ?

Having the time of his life, clearly

snesbian (snail lesbian) compilation in these trying times 🐌🐌

On related note, a few years ago, the Entomological Society of America officially discontinued the use of "gypsy moth" and "gyspy ant" as common names for Lymantria dispar and Aphaenogaster araneoides. L. Dispar is now known as the "spongy moth," so named for the appearance of their eggs, but I don't think a new common name has caught on for the ant species yet.

These changes we brought about, in large part, by the advocacy of Romani people in academia. You might not think that bug names are a very serious issue, but I believe that language matters. These species became known as "gypsies" because their attributes were likened to certain stereotypes and negative perceptions of actual Roma, so the continued use of those names reaffirmed those negative associations in the public consciousness. Slurs and pejoratives can never be truly decontexualized.

In my mind, one of the biggest obstacles that Romani people face when we are trying to advocate for ourselves is a lack of recognition as a marginalized group that deserves the necessary consideration. Even for seemingly trivial matters, like bugs or comic book characters, the way that people talk about us-- and talk down to us, when we get involved-- is telling. So, I always think that changes like this are a win, because it means that people are willing to learn and grant us the dignity we deserve. And there's nothing wrong with wanting to effect change in your own field, even arts and science.
