When I was fourteen, we got homework from English class to pick a song which represented a scene or relationship in Macbeth and then do at least a five minute presentation to the class on it.

There was no maximum time limit.

I am autistic. My special interest in Shakespeare.

Some of the more perceptive of you might guess where this is going.

I made a three minute fanvid using (my apologies, this is the version of Macbeth we watched in class) Roman Polanski’s (*spits*) The Tragedy of Macbeth and then talked for another fifteen.

I found the infamous video which earned me 100% in that particular project.

It was made on iMovie, I filmed it on my phone.

This isn’t where my Shakespeare obsession started, but it’s really where it got it’s claws in.

You think you understand a culture from seeing it on tv but you don’t really. You aren’t there. In the trenches. Trying to get a snack at 3am.

The freaky blogs on here that are largely heterosexual are so odd like they all have that horrific daddy/kitten energy going on but they are really terrible at making sexy text posts. How would this even work how are we both gonna reach the legos if my dick is inside you

I’m about to have a fun afternoon.

So my trainer’s bf cheated on her. She broke up with him. He’s holding her stuff hostage until she agrees to talk with him. Which she refuses.

She trains; for free mind you; three college linebackers, a college wrestler, two martial artists, a body builder, and… wait for it…. a Navy seal. We’re gonna go get her shit for her.

This should make for an interesting story.

you know a joke that never EVER gets old is when a character says smth like “I will NOT go to [place] and that is FINAL” and then it cuts to them in that place I eat that shit up every single time

No pizza for dickheads you idiot

i don’t think people understand how much of life is grief. not just people dying, but losing the version of yourself you thought you’d become. grieving the city you had to leave. the friends you lost not in argument, but in silence. the summer that will never come back. the feeling that maybe you peaked at 12 when you were reading books under the covers and believing in forever

I truly believe we could fix so many problems if the world wasn’t making us all so dang tired

i get that americans love their cultural imperialism, but it really does piss me off that june is “international” pride month just because something happened in the united states.

in aotearoa, june isn’t our pride, it’s theirs. martha p johnson and sylvia rivera are their historical figures, not ours. the phrase that “you owe your rights to Black trans women” is true there, but here we owe our rights to (mostly) Māori historical figures. i have the freedoms i do because of the legacy of an entirely different set of people operating in an entirely different context at entirely different times.

But because of american cultural imperialism, most queer people in Aotearoa don’t even know our own queer history. Carmen Rupe, Ngahuia Te Awekotuku, the Dorian Society, Gillian Laundon, Georgina Beyer, and the Wolfenden Association are some of our queer history. We should know their names! we should know what they did for us! but because of the power of the american imperial machine, we don’t.

our national pride month should be july, the month that the Homosexual Law Reform Act passed in 1989. our two largest cities hold their pride festivals in february and march, respectively. american queer history has very little (or nothing, depending on who you ask) to do with our queer history. anecdotally, from my own queries, queer youth in aotearoa know more about american queer history than our own.

anyway, happy pride, americans. i’m truly sorry that most of you don’t see the negative impact your nation’s culture has on the rest of the world. and to the rest of the world reading this, try searching for your own country and culture’s queer history, don’t accept the american narratives as your own. we deserve our own histories divorced from the cultural hegemony of the USA.

Do u think the rat guy and mouse lady would try having their own kid? Or are the six she had is enough?

This doesnt answer your question but I think if they did want to try for another litter, going to the rodent OB-gyn would be an experience
