my favorite scene in LotR as a kid was when Sam started miserably freestyling in the tower of Cirith Ungol and the only reason he ever found Frodo was because he deliriously tried to join in

one of my favorite lotr facts is that gondorians speak sindarin as a first language and yet when faramir was talking to frodo and sam about cirith ungol he was like “we don’t know what’s in there.” like faramir. cirith ungol is sindarin for “pass of the spider.” do the math

Looking for Transgender Individuals who want to share their story of coming out with a connection to mental health and music
Hello! My name is Karson Paxton and I am a 24 year old transgender man in masters school to become a mental health counselor/therapist. For the last term of my program I am doing a project that will be turned into a website and presented to my classmates and a small group of people within the mental health field. I am in need of responses from those in the transgender community who are publicly out.
What is the purpose?
My project’s aim is to highlight the need for mental health advocacy and acceptance of the transgender community by sharing our stories of coming out and connecting through music.
What is the project?
I am asking participants to think about when they came out as transgender and how the acceptance from their family, friends, and the world in general affected their mental health. This could be a story about the relief of acceptance and how it improved mental health or a story about rejection and how it made mental health worse. Your story in some way needs to be connected to a song that represents either your feelings, mental health state, or what you have been through.
How will this information be used?
Each story and song submitted to me will be turned into a page on a google sites website where viewers can listen to the song, read the person’s story, and look at the lyrics. A link to this website will be posted to my Tumblr as well so participants can see the finished product. 
Directions:
For the written portion of this project please share your story of coming out in as much detail you are comfortable with and include how coming out affected your mental health. Then connect your chosen song to your story by explaining what the lyrics mean to you. When writing your story/song interpretation please keep it under 2000 words. Beyond correction of obvious spelling or grammar errors, stories will be posted to the website as is. 
One example of a story/song interpretation can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1M-hi-XEcZvUfgPqzUznvfx8HeMDaoJ5lneUnsfDy8VE/edit?usp=sharing
Any further questions about the project, the use of this information, or what can be included in the writing portion can be directed to my Tumblr here or my email below.
Information can be submitted through this survey here: https://forms.gle/uZPiU2Vk3wKCKs8w9
If there are any issues submitting through this survey information can be sent to my email at [email protected] as well
If you are not transgender or have no interest in this project please consider reblogging or sharing with a friend so I am able to get enough responses to make this project a reality. Thank you so much!

comedy side of tumblr: what’s the distinction, like, stylistically, between the “fuck your cartoon hotdog husband” kind of joke and the much-maligned *holds up spork* random kind of joke? i fucking love the fuck your cartoon hotdog husband kind of joke but i’m having a hard time thinking about it academically or whatever. i keep trying to articulate the Artistic Difference Between the Absurd and the Random in my brain but i’m afraid to reach a place of irreversible pretentiousness

I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion

in december 1889, alexander parvus, a russian jew who had become a german revolutionary (& later financier, it’s a long story), announced the birth of a son in the sächsische arbeiterzeitung, publishing, “we announce the birth of a healthy, cheerful enemy of the state”
