and a shoutout to the two Māori men who travelled to Vienna in 1859, got themselves apprenticed as printers (and incidentally became accomplished ballroom dancers), and finally had an audience with Franz Josef where they charmed him so much that he sent a printing press to New Zealand….which was promptly used from 1861 to print the newspaper of the Kingitanga anti-colonial movement.

Patoo, partner. Just a couple of cowpokes meeting.

Health alert:

You may already be aware of this but the air in the Midwest and Northeast isn’t good to breathe right now. There are wildfire particulates in the air. They aren’t healthy to breathe for pets, for children, for the unwell, the elderly, and not really for you even if you’re young and healthy. It’s like smoking a couple packs of cigarettes a day. That may not hurt for one or two days but raise your hand if you think this may happen more and more in the months and years to come. The effect accumulates. If you can, get an air purifier with a HEPA filter to run indoors on days like this. Consider wearing an N95 mask while you’re out in it. If you aren’t and your chest starts feeling kind of weird or painful, or you start coughing, try to get to and stay in somewhere with filtered air. Don’t listen to people saying “Mankind has been breathing campfire smoke for millennia and they were okay.” For one thing, were they? Most of them died by the age of 35 so who knows. And this is different anyway. It isn’t just clean wood. It’s all kinds of plants and leaves and even houses and plastics that are burning and that you’re breathing.  Keep safe. Keep your loved ones safe. 💚

"Don't be afraid. We'll see each other again."

[probablyarmedpossiblynot]

The Signs again and again and again and again and again

Aries: Down by the lake you could have sworn you saw a toad wearing a tiny suit of armor. The pain in your neck starts to throb again. The world feels heavy. You must sleep.

Taurus: You tried to put on clothing today and nearly collapsed from the impossible weight. The world at full tilt, lop-sided. You must sleep.

Gemini: You stopped feeling the cold hours and hours ago. You’ve never seen snow that color before. You smell her perfume. You smell what you would have had for breakfast that day. You must sleep.

Cancer: Is it too early in the morning or too late in the night? You cant tell anymore. The world is so mercifully quiet at this hour. You avoid the streetlamps and roads. You must sleep.

Leo: The stairs have all been nailed over with ramps. There are locks on the doors but no handles. A tiny third floor. A place like the leftovers of small shops pretending to be one place. You must sleep.

Virgo: The sea stretches on for miles. The trees here have grown like upturned umbrellas, bowing to the wind. Souls caught in the branches. You must sleep.

Libra: The comforting sensation of fingers in you hair. Fighting against morning grogginess to take the medicine. You must sleep.

Scorpio: At this point you could draw a map of the highways from memory. Part of you thinks that maybe you thought up the maps first, and that someone has just been laying down the pavement. You must sleep.

Ophiuchus: The world ran out of VRAM today and had to start recycling old assets. People you met in the past but just aged up. You must sleep.

Sagittarius: You always felt that the angels tasted better roasted. You must sleep.

Capricorn: You hold a glittering crown on a small pillow. You have no idea how you got here. The chorus of horns blares. You must sleep.

Aquarius: You can already feel your skin turning to salt. Your moments are slowing but you still have time. You still have time. You must sleep.

Pisces: You are the last one still awake. What are you still doing up? This late at night, with only one pair of eyes. You might see something you weren’t supposed to.

Hairdresser: We’re going to have to use a color remover to take out the blue pigment, then apply more pigment to allow for the proteins in the hair to adhere to it. Then possibly mix three different types of toners to reach the goal of your natural hair color.

Hairdresser: pretty simple

Me: this is chemistry

Hairdresser: yeah, but people don’t like when we talk that way

tbh i think y’all (mostly cis and binary trans) are just. devoted to misunderstanding, suppressing and bullying nonbinary ppl.

y’all tried to obliterate “joyfriend” y’all tried to spread shit about “enby” being unilaterally infantalizing, you’re coming after “folx” (which isn’t even necessarily a nonbinary thing) and “mx” and making jokes about it and creating this “yxll” meme. y’all try to shuffle us into neat little boxes, push labels and attraction categories on us, exclude us from communities we belong in (LOOKING AT YOU, EXORSEXIST MLM BLOGS), create an innaccurate, fatphobic, racist, exorsexist image for nonbinary people to “conform to” you refuse to respect our pronouns and our experiences with gender, you refuse to look past your basic, exorsexist view of the world, you try to exclude us from trans spaces, we face endless scrutiny.

none of you actually care about nonbinary people and it fucking shows

binary people can rb but don’t add any bullshit or fucking else. i encourage ppl to reblog this post

(edit 9/22: added “unilaterally” for more clarity. please reblog this version!)

I HATE how tumblr brings up your old tags as you’re typing a new tag because I really don’t!! Want to remember!!! Some of the things I’ve said on this godforsaken site!!!!

*sits down*

dont you think its weird. dont you think its weird that the space race last time was two of the biggest powers in the world. and now its a handful of rich men. dont you think its weird they can afford that. dont you think its bad that rich men can afford the same things as the government.

dont you think its weird that while the world is suffering and poverty is everywhere, where there's wars and climate change and human pain and homelessness. the same month I've watched people die on the news from unbearable heat and unprecedented flooding. that a rich handful of men are going to space, causing more carbon emissions. dont you think its weird that instead of putting their vast amount of money to use for good they're using it to find a way off the planet theyre destroying.

dont you think its really fucking weird.

telling teenagers it doesn’t get better is so cruel and irresponsible. you’re suppose to be the adult stop trying to get doomer cred and act like a sympathetic human being

concept: angels but they look like stingray skeletons

Good news: if you’re currently laying around and not producing anything, you are a credit to your species.
