"just not seeing enough people talking about carl clemons-hopkins, the first out nonbinary actor to be nominated for an emmy, and the nonbinary flag gown they wore last night"

@mattxiv

Carl Clemons-Hopkins on IMDB

Here’s a better exposed photo of the gown, so you can see what’s going on! I love the cleverly shaped side of the skirt made to resemble a trouser leg

I also love that they didn't immediately go for the super androgynous style. Rather than go neutral they decided to "clash" for lack of a better word at the moment. Masculine elements like the aviator and beard, feminine with the clutch, the painted nails, and the sleeves and cut of the shirt. Honestly the "dress" part is pretty neutrally gendered, and so are the shoes.

This is just a solid "fuck you, I'll do what I want" to gender norms in a way we don't see often enough.

I also want to state clearly, there is nothing wrong with expressing a non-binary identity through androgyny or even leaning traditionally feminine. Its just seeing these features associated with masculinity is refreshing.

these are very wise (and very real) words. believe me.

I'd like to add to this. You may fall into a job/career in your 20s that pays bills and you don't mind doing. And that's fine. You may find your passion and hate the job that goes with it and get one that just pays bills so you can pursue your passion. And that's fine. Your passion may change - and that's fine. Life is not linear. Jobs can be just jobs. Careers can change.

Life is not static. It doesn't end at 30 or 40 or 50 or later. And a job can be just a job and your life can be successful and fulfilling.

the cashier at barnes & noble just gave me this duck at checkout and they said “i give these to children and people with a certain vibe.”

love "et cetera" like... theres soooo much more. beyond your wildest imaginations. Not gonna tell u what tho. Move on

I want weird math textbooks. Group theory textbooks in the style of a comic book. Real analysis textbooks written as a long dialogue between forest animals. Elaborate romantic fan fictions about the relationships between Lie groups and their corresponding Lie algebras.

Skimming through this, I think this is a good example of what can be possible.

felt an urgent need to share some toast appreciation

wikipedia is like if one of those obscure obsessive meaningless autist projects like mario speedrunning or whatever was the best way to get introductory information about like 95% of topics. i overflow with affection for it. tearring up a little
