can we tussle a bit as friends... can we do a little roughhousing a bit as friends... can you pin me down by the wrists with one hand and laugh at me for being into it... yknow... as friends...
this is edited. here’s the original photo, taken at the Second National March on Washington for Gay and Lesbian Rights, in October of 1987:
Article 27 of the Maryland Annotated Code was a law prohibiting a number of common sexual acts; sections 553/554 specifically criminalizing sodomy and oral sex, and making them punishable by up to ten years in prison.
that law wasn’t repealed until 2020. i don’t have the time to do more research on this right now but reading some articles it seems like its repeal was fraught and maybe not even complete. there’s definitely cases of it being used to arrest patrons at gay bars.
so like yeah fuck censorship and the hays code but this young man (who i think is identified somewhere, again, if i could do more research rn i would) is humorously protesting the criminalization of gay sexuality, specifically sodomy. kinda shitty to edit the original message.
Give me Baker!Steve who wakes up at four and gets into the bakery at five to start preparing ingredients and heating up the equipment.
Give me Bartender!Eddie who's getting off work around the same time, who always stops by the shop to bother (read: flirt with) the hunky baker man and snag some left over pastries from the previous day.
Steve always complains, but leaves the shop door unlocked anyway. Eddie's always a little ruffled from his long shift, and the way he leans into Steve's space from tiredness always makes him shiver.
After months of this, Eddie doesn't come into the shop one morning.
I'm really sad today so here's the sketches I'm drawing rn to feel better
I wanted to put a more positive spin on the popular skeleton leaving meme
i act so normal but deep down i just want to be clingy and gnaw and chew and bite
…you think you act normal?
I need minors to learn how to lie online again. Your name is Derek, you’re 25 and work in accounting now. Please for your own safety learn how to fucking lie. And if you don’t want to lie, then don’t put your age anywhere. Don’t even say whether you’re a minor or not. It is perfectly easy to avoid adult spaces without signposting that you are doing so because you’re a child.
Stating your age doesn’t protect you this only makes you a target.
i just love how happy and smiley he was in this interview :)
So I started working again today, and me and my coworker had to squeeze lemons which usually is a really un fun job but TODAY. We had the mostly lovely batch of lemons to work with. So we rated how smoothly they cut and how nice the insides of them looked for about an hour. An absolutely marvelous time I gotta say
And in case anyone was wondering
Here she is. The most lovely lemon I’ve ever laid eyes upon
Just thinking about her. I can’t believe we had to turn her into lemon juice
i dont want any more emails
"can I be mean for a sec?" Is a sacred statement made by girls when they are about to reveal their most deep rooted self
i always am mean first and whoever can read my tone is the chosen friend
logging into tumblr like yes i love women and my hobbies include yearning and being silly.
