🌹//La Vie En Rose//🌹

Have I ever told you how much I love those ‘old-married couple’ ships? Because hell do I love them. Sometimes they’d fight over the smallest and most stupid things ever, whether playfully or really arguing with each other, they can scream rude nicknames at each other and swear but after ten seconds you’d find them all over one another. And they can do it because they’re so comfortable with each other they know when, what and how to push and pull, but they also know where’s the line and when they can and can’t cross it, because they respect one another. And yeah, sometimes the line is crossed and everything ends tears and actually screaming at one another, but you know they’ll be fine because, all in all, they’re best friends, and they sure as hell care about one another more than anything in the world.

I was high off my ass last night and had this dream where I was in this dense ass forest and sitting there was a tall woman. She was so tall I couldn’t see her face but she was wearing gold and I was like “uh…hi?” And she said “I made you, do you know that?” And I nodded and she was like “I hear your thoughts. Why do you hate my creation? Why do you try to destroy yourself? I made you perfect as you are. Please don’t break my heart”. Then she started crying and it flooded and I woke up with fucking heart palpitations like what does it Mean™️????

You guys need to stop treating artist like machines with no lives or feelings

You are 1000% right this goes to Writers too-

Treat them with a respect or get nothing. Writers are already underappreciated so just be a BIT more humble. Artist and writers do this for free they owe you NOTHING

do pigeons sometimes forget they can fly or what

actually!! apparently it takes up a lot of energy to lift off, so to pigeons, humans are just not worth the bother

this is an excellent fact. we are insignificant to them and i love it

hey adam what the fuck

when you tell an artist their work is too bland and samey, you run the very real risk that it won't be anymore

Reblogging for that last addition

anyone who says “the bible is clear” about an issue, is 100% of the time wrong. the bible wasnt clear once. the bible couldnt be clear about how to make a table if it came in an ikea box

Exodus 25:23-30

well ill be darned

I don’t think we are supposed to always get what we want. I think some seasons nothing will come because nothing is meant to. Those are the hours, days, weeks, months where we do our work inside, patiently, and with great devotion.

not to be positive on main but sometimes things really are ok. sometimes you really will be happy and safe and warm. sometimes you really will be giggly and blushy and full of love. sometimes the night is chilly and your home is cozy and your tea is perfectly steeped and your phone lights up with a message from someone you love. sometimes life really is quite lovely.

courage was named courage even though he was cowardly bc he still did what he had to do despite being scared and that’s true courage

I’m watching that documentary “Before Stonewall” about gay history pre-1969, and uncovered something which I think is interesting.

The documentary includes a brief clip of a 1954 televised newscast about the rise of homosexuality. The host of the program interviewed psychologists, a police officer, and one “known homosexual”. The “known homosexual” is 22 years old. He identifies himself as Curtis White, which is a pseudonym; his name is actually Dale Olson.

So I tracked down the newscast. According to what I can find, Dale Olson may have been the first gay man to appear openly on television and defend his sexual orientation. He explains that there’s nothing wrong with him mentally and he’s never been arrested. When asked whether he’d take a cure if it existed, he says no. When asked whether his family knows he’s gay, he says that they didn’t up until tonight, but he guesses they’re going to find out, and he’ll probably be fired from his job as well. So of course the host is like …why are you doing this interview then? and Dale Olson, cool as cucumber pie, says “I think that this way I can be a little useful to someone besides myself.”

1954. 22 years old. Balls of pure titanium.

Despite the pseudonym, Dale’s boss did indeed recognize him from the TV program, and he was promptly fired the next day. He wrote into ONE magazine six months later to reassure readers that he had gotten a new job at a higher salary.

Curious about what became of him, I looked into his life a little further. It turns out that he ultimately became a very successful publicity agent. He promoted the Rocky movies and Superman. Not only that, but get this: Dale represented Rock Hudson, and he was the person who convinced him to disclose that he had AIDS! He wrote the statement Rock read. And as we know, Rock Hudson’s disclosure had a very significant effect on the national conversation about AIDS in the U.S.

It appears that no one has made the connection between Dale Olson the publicity agent instrumental in the AIDS debate and Dale Olson the 22-year-old first openly gay man on TV. So I thought I’d make it. For Pride month, an unsung gay hero.

dude had guts, someone needs to update his Wikipedia page

This man is a fucking hero, and there are not enough words to thank him for what he did.
