it’s VERY strange how moonlight is one of the greatest films of our lifetime but also the film that gets the most responses when I bring it up that people haven’t seen it because they “know it’ll wreck me” as to opposed to understanding it as a BEAUTIFUL GIFT of a gay coming of age romance with a tender and forgiving ending! the reputation that has been cultivated around it as a difficult, traumatic movie is literally just racist. treating gorgeous and poignant art like an off-putting anthropology assignment is vile. just say you are scared of stories about poor black people.
thanks for the spotify link! in a hundred years they’ll cut down a tree with our intials carved into its bark and they’ll wonder why its wood burns so warm
We talk a lot about how once you’re an adult, you’re like “oh shit but I don’t feel like an adult.” And yeah, for sure. But I do want to mention that there’s also lots of times where I’m doing something very adulty, and I’m like yeah, I feel mature enough for this, I feel equipped to handle this, this is something I wouldnt have wanted to do ten years ago but find satisfying now, I enjoy the responsibility of what I’m doing, and I have expendable cash to spend on causes that matter to me and also novelty rain boots. It’s dope.

sidney crosby’s very special tummy time
I love it when I scroll through AO3 and I read a good fic, and I’m like “wow!! I can’t believe I didn’t read this before! I’m gonna bookmark this!”
But I did
It was already bookmarked
Which means I read it, liked it, saved it, then read it for the first time again because I completely forgot it existed

Evgeni Malkin: "I want to be here"
As the Pittsburgh Penguins embark on what appears to be a rebuild, attention has turned to two of the franchise's most iconic players: Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin.
The question: Are they still invested?
The answer: Yes.
"Of course," Malkin said Friday after the Penguins practiced at UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex. "I signed a four-year contract, after this year I have two more years — I want to stay, play here.
"If I wanted to change teams, I probably would have two years ago. This is my second home. I'm glad we're here (for) any situation. I was happy here. I have injuries here.
"Now, it's another tough situation. I want to be here."
Malkin's comments should not come as a surprise. Two years ago, he and Kris Letang signed long-term contracts with the intention of retiring as Penguins, alongside Crosby. Their 18 seasons together as teammates are the longest run in North American sports for any three teammates.
Crosby told The Athletic several weeks ago that his stance on remaining with the Penguins had not changed, nor would it no matter what happened with since-traded Jake Guentzel. Crosby reiterated his previous public statements of planning to only play for the Penguins.
"Yeah, I've always said that," Crosby said.

on july 12th 2004 the statue of liberty reached down & picked up 1 guy & ate him. not very many people saw this happen & no one got any pictures of it. the eyewitness accounts never traveled very far or got any attention on the internet or anything

When I say Israel does not represent Judaism nor should it be tied to Judaism, this is what I mean. This is not about Judaism or religion at all. This is about an imperialist apartheid state that exploits religion to excuse its crimes and its illegitimate existence.
This!!! I have Jewish friends who are anti Zionist to the max. Zionism≠Judaism
Zionist are inherently antisemtic themselves. They will say you aren’t a real Jew if you don’t support their genocidal regime.
Well what’s the fucking point then
Reconstruction of bust of Roman emperor Caracalla.
Looks Middle Eastern/ African maybe even Greek. Interesting post.
His father, the emperor Septimius Severus, was North African (the first African emperor of Rome!), and his mother, Julia Domna, was Syrian, from a wealthy priestly family
#rome was a multiethnic empire
Yep! Septimius Severus was born in what is now Libya. (X)
That Roman Empire was a real big place!
