Tanuki poll accomplished! (you still have a week to unaccomplish it)

Can we make an inverse penis poll? (A penis facing left, where the most votes should be on the balls)

Ball

Considering that someone just the other day, in good faith and based entirely on accurate knowledge of my taste in blorbos, recced Miami Vice to me.... yeah, I really should watch it.

The "Are you lost? But it's me who is lost" tag really gets the true nature of AO3.

my favorite thing about navigating fanfiction is finding a really good one and being all “oh boy this was good, I hope they have more!” and literally every other story they’ve ever written was for like Miami Vice

Lol dating is stupid and kissing is gross, why is everyone forcing themselves to do it just to fit in? The emperor is naked and I'm am very smart

--> Wait, there's a word for it? "asexual" is a whole orientation?? they have a flag??? The emperor was wearing clothes all along???? COOL, I'M ACE! THIS EXPLAINS EVERYING

--> now that I can just go "I'm ace" instead of constantly fending off pressure to date and pick an actress to pretend is hot, I'm starting to notice that other men are fair to look upon, *very* fair to look upon, beyond simply aestheticlaly pleasing, and I'm comfortable enough in my own identity to admit that to myself and roll it around in my head

--> yeah, that's attraction of some kind. The fact I don't want to act on it in any way doesn't make it not attraction. I'm gay and ace at the same time

LGBTQ+ folk what was your gender/sexuality pipeline?

i think “video games aren’t really the violent child-corrupting threat some parents worry they are” and “certain circles of gamer culture are incredibly toxic and can lead people down dangerous/hateful ideological rabbit holes” are ideas that can absolutely coexist

I'd like to share with y'all a project I've poured my heart and soul into over the last couple of years: a database cataloguing every single older queer science fiction book I've managed to track down, consisting of just over 200 titles with LGBT characters/themes & by LGBT authors, spanning over a century (1880-2000) 🚀

The database can be filtered by representation, subgenre, whether the book is currently in print, and more; additionally, it includes my own ratings & brief thoughts on the ones i have read, if anyone needs a suggestion on places to start! (or feel free to shoot me an ask for a more personalized recommendation)

summer is the worst time of year and I do not want to do things in hot humid air. may I please have some cooler air? I can’t find a label on me that says “store in a cool, dry place” but I’m sure it’s there somewhere.

we were talking on discord about commas in Turkish and one of the sources had an excellent illustration

i nominate the carpet merchant (1887) by jean léon gérôme for next meme image, such as below:

Man, never mind if you like or dislike the style of the before shots, the after shots all look straight up unfinished.

comments are turned off on this and i know it was a bloodbath in there

Huldremose Woman Collage

I find bog bodies oddly beautiful despite their corpsyness. Something about the process of the bog seeping in and becoming one with the bog is oddly romantic. Maybe thats weird but i had tons of fun making this.

nearly all components come from the extensive collection at Smithsonian Open Access, however the huldremose woman herself was photgraphed by Roberto Fortuna for the online collection of natmus.dk (...)
