This blog honestly has no cohesive theme, I just post and reblog what I like or find interesting.

My favorite bird has got to be the short-tailed pygmy tyrant cause first of all look at it:

But second of all this lil fella is "töpökääpiötypäkkö" in Finnish and that shit is just fun to say

How is töpökääpiötypäkkö pronounced?

Explaining it would be really hard, and I'm kinda self-conscious about my voice (weird for someone who's done streaming I know), but I found this site that does text-to-speech in Finnish and it actually works:

OH GOSH ITS NAME MEANS STUMPY-DWARF-SHORTFATTY.

And typäkkö, shortfatty, is a scientific name for certain birds. (or short-plumb or short-round, however you want to express that this birb is rotund)

I really wasn't prepared to see just how accurate the depiction of this cat was in that other post. :')

Knowing that trans women of color started the movement in the united states and were literally immediately erased and excluded from what they started is the most deeply jading knowledge.

It is the original sin of the so-called queer community and it damns it from the cradle.

no white gay boy will ever reblog this, watch:

no white gay will reblog this

no white lgb person will reblog this

Without Stonewall, without the efforts of Marsha P. Johnson and Sylvia Rivera, the LGBTQ Community wouldn’t be where it is today. Don’t forget the roots, don’t forget the catalyst.

and then TERFs wanna be like, “hmm well the LGBT community existed before Stonewall!”

but like…Becky, of course LGBTQ+ people existed before Stonewall. We’ve all existed since the beginning of time. But the movement got a shock to its senses, a jump-start, a rocket-into-space when that glass shattered via Marsha P. Johnson, and when Sylvia Rivera was up on-stage protesting guess who was on the sidelines heckling her?

The same fuckers who won’t ever reblog or acknowledge this

My apologies to the original poster as I photo captured this post to add to the thread-I reposted this last year for pride and expect to repost it every year I have left-it’s our history people.

Marsha P. Johnson allegedly died of suicide in 1992, and her death was never investigated. Even I, a mere prole, could catch the “she was murdered” vibes from the circumstances surrounding the discovery of her body.

Without a trans black woman, LGBT+ rights would not exist. Never forget. Never “pay it no mind”.

And whatever you do, don’t watch that awful movie Stonewall.  Go watch a documentary on Marsha P. Johnson instead.

there’s a wonderful documentary on netflix called the death and life of marsha p. johnson! very powerful watch.

every white person ever should reblog this

dreamed that kindergarten nap was called sleep class and everybody went to sleep including the teacher. if you were awake it would get a little bit foggy outside and grey and cloudy, and these guys would start approaching the classroom from behind the tree line (forgive my shitty phone drawing)

and they were at least a story tall, some of them were taller, you could see their legs over the trees. they would approach very slowly. this one (the one i drew) had a name for some reason, his name is kick.

before i was totally awake my brain conjured a meme of a bunch of these guys approaching from the treeline and a child watching from the window with the caption “when you the only one awake in sleep class 😂😳😏”

ok this is TERRIFYINGLY close to what i saw in my head while i was sleeping thank you.

this comment is such a terrifying glimpse of the reach of this post into internet zones beyond my perception, thank you
