I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

And the X-Men didn't help with *Avengers event* because they didn't wanna. Hope that explains everything

"Why didnt the avengers help with *x-men event*?" because no one wants to read an x-men comic where the avengers come in and solve everything

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

Resources for LGBTQ+ Jews

I created this list for an LGBTQ+/Jewish event a few years ago. I've removed all of the local resources for my own privacy, but here are some online ones:

Eshel: Focuses on Orthodox LGBTQ+ Jews

Keshet: Resources for Jews across the observance spectrum

SVARA: Torah and Talmud study through a queer lens

TransTorah: Archive of trans Jewish resources from the 1990s to 2012

Human Rights Campaign: Articles for LGBTQ+ groups of several religions, Judaism included

PFLAG: Links to many other Jewish LGBTQ+ resources

There is a place for LGBTQ+ individuals within the Jewish community, even Orthodox communities! Happy Pride, Chag Sameach, and stay safe out there :) I love y'all <3

I can’t find the post now (or was it a comment?) where someone talked about how in the Horror Of Dracula (1958) Dracula’s trying to replace his dead bride. He first goes the revenge route by pursuing the girlfriend of the hunter who staked his bride, and then wife of the man who helped off his replacement bride. In the climax of the film, Dracula tried to turn Van Helsing.

This is important to note as the turned vampire hunter from earlier was treated hostilely and abandoned - not to mention turned by the original bride. Considering Dracula had been keeping tabs on things, he’d have to know about Van Helsing’s role in things, and yet, when he attempted to turn him, it didn’t seem to be in anger.

He went from survival mode to, “huh, wait a minute, maybe it’s time for a husband.”

i tend not to take museum photos of things unless i think i can take a good one, and this was in a glass case so it had a lot of glare, but the sargent exhibit at the met has the only know photograph of madame x before he repainted the shoulder strap and seeing that for the first time in my life made me feel like my body was made of static

I feel like age of sail tumblr might enjoy the point system/relative bearings as a writing resource.

You can describe a vessel's heading (where the bow is pointing) in relation to the points of the compass (so, North, North East, etc). Or in compass degrees numerically (the more modern method) (so, steering course 130 for instance).

But when you want to describe objects in relation to the boat itself, you use the relative bearing system to talk about where those objects exist in relation to the boat (as opposed to where they exist in relation to North/000). Usually this is done when you're standing watch as a lookout. So, like, "sail two points off the port bow" "buoy abaft the starboard beam" etc. (Beam means middle of the boat)
