so i wore a pride flag pin to work the other day and the kids were all interested (obviously) (find me a classroom of preschoolers who are not obsessed with rainbows) (i'll wait) so they crowded around to see.

"aww!" they said, "it's a flag!!"

but the thing is: they're little. a lot of them don't really have a handle on all their mouth sounds yet.

such as, notably, that tricky tricky "L" sound.

more people need to realize and utilize how fucking INSANE spencer reid is. he killed someone for the first time like two weeks after he turned 24. he killed a guy that kidnapped and tortured him and then stole hard drugs off his dead body. then he continued to do said hard drugs for at least two months while working as an active field agent. he's so good at rambling that he actually managed to distract a serial killer from killing him once. this guy rocked up to his father, who he hadn’t seen in 18 years fyi, and accused him of molesting and murdering a toddler. he had anthrax poisoning once. all of this before he turned 30 btw. character of all time fr

"these researchers published a paper on something that literally any of us could have told you 🙄" ok well my supervisors wont let me write something in my thesis unless I can back it up with a citation so maybe it's a good thing that they're amplifying your voice to the scientific community in a way that prevents people from writing off your experiences as annecdotal evidence

thinking about hand me down culture in camp half-blood. how are the year-rounders getting new clothes, they only seem to have camp-related tshirts in the store. where are the pants pajamas socks underwear. what does getting clothes passed down from your older siblings look like when your older siblings are an unbroken line going back 4000 years. everyone is just passing around the same 9 pairs of jeans from 1963. it is vital to have campers who go home for the school year because that's the only way new clothes can enter the ecosystem. at any given moment there is a new camper wearing a waterland tshirt.

happy pride to bisexuals!! happy pride to bisexuals who are: transgender, nonbinary, women, men, agender, people of color, indigenous, living at home, going through school, bisexuals who are jobless, working a job/multiple jobs, homeless, couch surfing, renting. happy pride to those who are disabled, mentally ill, chronically ill, physically ill.

happy pride to bisexuals who are parents, childfree, wish to become parents, wish to adopt. bisexuals who are single, partnered, married, going through a breakup, going through a divorce, to those who are divorced. happy pride to sexually active bisexuals, those who don’t have sex, virgins, and everyone in between.

happy pride to bisexuals who are unable to celebrate openly, who are in the closet, who are discovering their bisexuality, who have been openly bisexual.

happy pride month to bisexuals who have a preference, who don’t have a preference, who are discovering their preferences. happy pride to bisexuals who have been silenced, erased, who have been told that their sexuality is non-inclusive or requires a preference. happy pride to bisexuals who are constantly questioned and attacked over their sexuality, who are told they are “confused” or “questioning.”

bisexuality is such a beautiful, expansive sexuality that has been a crux of the LGBTQ+ community. “We are angered by those who refuse to accept our existence; our issues; our contributions; our alliances; our voice. It is time for the bisexual voice to be heard.”

Reporter: Why do you think so many countries’ governments around the world are just ignoring what’s happening in Gaza?

Greta Thunberg: Because of racism, that’s the simple answer, I would say. Racism, and basically desperately trying to defend a deadly, destructive system that systematically maximizes short term economic profit and geopolitical power over the well being of humans and the planet. Right now, it is morally difficult to defend that – it is impossible— but they’re desperately trying which is …. absurd is not the word, but there are no words to describe it.

Canon/Headcanon likelihood chart

So I've been thinking about @macdenlover 's "levels of headcanon" chart (about how heavily a HC is influenced by canon), so I decided to make my own scale about how likely a HC is to be true (including different levels of canon) using queer cartoon characters as examples :)

I just spent an hour making this because I was bored. Enjoy. Image description under the cut.

Inspiration:

ID courtesy of @hatreds-og-imagedescriptions (thank you!!)

[ID: a chart going from 10 to 1, with explanations of the ratings on the left and images of characters with queer flags and descriptions of said characters on the right.

10: "Explicit canon. Clearly stated in the original media." Trans Barney from Dead end Paranormal Park. "Barney says "I'm transgender"".

9: "Implicit canon. Never explicitly stated, but 100% canon in the original media". Nonbinary Raine from The Owl House. "Raine never says "I'm nonbinary," but uses they/them and is never referred to as a man/woman (also, confirmed by Dana)".

8: "Creator confirmation. Never stated in the original media, but confirmed canon by the media's creator". Aroace Lilith from The Owl House. "While never mentioned/implied in TOH, Dana has confirmed that Lilith is aroace".

7: "Heavily implied. Never confirmed, but likely true (either by canon evidence or creator implication)". Genderfluid Nimona from Nimona. ""Aaand now you're a boy" "I am today" (anyway, the whole movie has trans/GNC themes)".

6: "Possibly implied. Hinted at in the original media, but could be explained as something else". Trans Doofenschmirtz from Phineas and Ferb. "Doof COULD be transmasc, or the whole "raised as a girl" thing could just be for the bit".

5: "Fanon. Never confirmed, but generally accepted by the fandom". Aromantic Alastor from Hazbin Hotel. "While only confirmed to be ace, most of the fandom also sees Alastor as aromantic".

4: "HC with evidence. Headcanons supported by a dedicated fan's detective work". Bisexual Mabel from Gravity Falls. "People have noticed bi flag stickers hidden on Mabel's scrapbooks".

3: "Canon neutrality. Could be true, could be false, but overall makes sense and doesn't contradict the original media". Genderqueer Pleakley from Lilo and Stitch. "Maybe Pleakley is genderqueer, maybe he just wanted to crossdress for the mission, who knows? That's why it's a headcanon."

2: "I made it the fuck up. Based on vibes, has absolutely nothing to do with canon". Bisexual Megamind from Megamind. "No evidence, no explanation, he just has Disaster Bi™ vibes".

1: "Um? No? But go off. Directly contradicts canon (but who cares, that's why it's fun)". Trans Stanley Pines from Gravity Falls. "Even though flashback scenes prove Stan is AMAB, some people HC him as transmasc." End of ID.]

It's still kinda wild how Phineas and Ferb managed to completely hijack an idiom. Now whenever someone hears a sentence leading with "If I had a nickel for everytime [...]", odds are their brain auto fills with "I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice," rather than "I'd be rich," or "I could [action that requires purchasing something requiring an obscene amount of money]". Y'know, what the idiom originally was
