I'm constantly surprised how few people on here have actually watched Space Ghost Coast To Coast

it's a limited animation series about a cartoon superhero with something wrong with him interviewing celebrities like Weird Al and David Byrne while villainous gay aliens both heckle him and help him run the show. My favorite part is there's actually a very creative plot going on if you pay enough attention between episodes and dive into the series deeper countuity. And it all gets very surreal.

(yes that is David Cross and Bob Odenkerk)

Adult Swim wouldn't exist without it. Both Aqua Teen Hunger Force and Toonami (yes the anime block) are spinoffs of it. Eric André and Tim and Eric love it. Hell, we probably wouldn't have Homestar Runner, Homestuck, YouTube Poop, or Abriged Series as we know them today without it. And yet more people than not have no idea what it is or was (most know a few quotes at best) .

So what we're NOT gonna do when James Somerton inevitably starts releasing new videos is hatewatch them, okay? Because a view is still a view whether or not it was watched with rage and disdain in your heart, you KNOW they'll be monetized, and at this point I'm sure he's doing this precisely TO bait in hatewatchers

Don't fund his comeback arc. Let him fade into obscurity like he deserves

So I made this unrebloggable for a long time but as it turns out, fuckin APPARENTLY at the same time he was letting the internet think he had harmed or killed himself, he was yukking it up on an alt posting nudes and talking about TV shows. So yeah reminder that his online career is over and we're going to make sure of that, right?

it cracks me up that there was a secret society of American journalists who, from 1965 to 2006, slipped the phrase "it was as if some occult hand..." into articles

this all started when one guy used the phrase in an article and his friends thought it was so hilariously out of place that they all started using it

it drove their editors crazy but they kept doing it

that was like. the whole thing. they called it the Order of the Occult Hand and all it did was put a random metaphor into as many news articles as possible

they picked a new phrase in the early 00s, which has not been revealed yet- to my knowledge

Holy shit, how does that even happen? It's as if some occult hand

Oh this is the new Tumblr Phrase now, I can feel it

yeah you're "punk" but are you normal about deformed people?

btw this includes people without eyes or noses. can you talk about these people without making jokes about them? can you see them in public without making a spectacle of their existence? do you consider their existence 'gore'?

Part of me is like “neat. Reblog,” and part of me is like “I understand now why impressionism took off, because there’s a 0% chance the artist wasn’t like ‘fuck this shit’ by the halfway point.”

for the rest of my life i dont ever wanna hear someone say they dont like rap bc of some dumbfuck assumption theyre making about an entire genre if you tell me youre a metal fan and you dont like rap because 'its too violent' im gonna swing until i hit you in the head. what the hell are you talking ABOUT

bc thats the root of it isnt it? violence is fine as long as its palatable aesthetic violence by someone who looks like you. female rage is fine as long as its white female rage. sex is empowering as long as its sex YOU like or YOU can project onto or YOU can objectify. you get to dismiss the contents of an entire fucking genre of music due to your own racist assumptions about it while not even following the rules you laid down yourself. because when you do it its fine right? when someone like you does its fine. shut the fuck up

oopsie! You got a bit too manic about a creative project too close to bedtime and now your brain is too awake to sleep. One million dead 10 morbillion injured

Also you haven't actually worked on the project, to be clear

I really do think that it’s good for the soul to be unironically pretentious about something. Not in a gatekeeping kind of way but in a “yes, it really is that deep and I would love to enthusiastically and passionately explain why” kind of way.

Friendly reminder that LGBTQ+, Queer, and LGBT+ are the preferred terms for the community (x).

Friendly reminder that Queer is approved by 72.9% of the people, and the groups who don’t prefer it’s use as an umbrella term are straight people, exclusionists, transmeds, truscums, sex-negative people, and sex work critical people (x).

Friendly reminder that aros and aces are excluded only 9.2% / 8.1% of the time respectively while being included  78.9% / 81.2% of the time (x)

Friendly reminder that exclusionists are in the minority and aro/ace people are included in the LGBTQ+ community by the people within the community.

Also, i checked out the survey the second claim sources a while back: this is not OP choosing the words truscum, exclusionist, etc. These are labels that the survey gave people the option to self-identify as. It’s self-proclaimed exclusionists who dont like the word queer, not random accusations

yeah that’s super important.

This one gets reblogged on main. The reclassification of ‘queer’ as an inexcusable slur is a recent development which stems in part from exclusionist rhetoric. We reclaimed it decades ago. Learn our history. You are not immune to TERF propaganda, but you can absolutely choose to educate yourself to spite it.

Be kind. 💜

“friend of Dorothy” was used to say you were gay discreetly for fucking years. Where did it come from?

“You have some queer friends, Dorothy”, and she replies, “The queerness doesn’t matter, so long as they’re friends.”

Like, it was popular enough for it to be a thing in ww2.
