Good.

May 5, 2021 - A “Margaret Thatcher Square” sign in Madrid was replaced with “Bobby Sands Square” by an activist on the 40th anniversary of Sands’ death. The Irish independence fighter died on a hunger strike in prison to pressure British PM Thatcher to give back political status to Irish Republican prisoners. [link]

Read my fanfic: coming soon™️ in which silvers goes back and saves flint and flint, tom and silvers becomes a polycule with flint not having it, silvers saying it's a great idea look at this cool plantation WE just got and tom being the remeditor between the two and being the glue in the relationship.

Anyway.. guess I have to start writing how huh?

It's my 1 year anniversary on Tumblr 🥳

While I haven't been as active as I've wanted to be with this account it's insane that it's already been a year.

[the-social-commentator]

My god, these are gorgeous.. I hope they sell prints of their work.

happy severance day! here's some studies I've done while waiting for the new episode

[the-social-commentator]

Normally I'd write some long-winded point with historical accuracy and all that. All I got is.

Nice.

Anita Bryant just died and I haven't seen one crab rave gif on my dash yet... Come on people

I honestly cannot believe that OP would forget the greatest gay ship ever. Behold! A Trireme! Gaze upon it's masts and long planks of wood, feel your love by your side as the wind blows in your hair as you go into battle or the bedroom or maybe in the car for late night snackies.

This is absolutely a gay ship, might be the queer polyam ship if anything.

As to why I am a Trireme? I'm tall and well made, endowed in a few ways not all dirty, have an amazing polyam relationship ( crew size of ship reference)

In the most recent episode of a history podcast I enjoy (Lions Led By Donkeys, Ep. 339: The Great Panjandrum), one of the hosts declared that it was time for gay people to stop categorizing themselves as different kinds of animal, and start categorizing themselves as different kinds of ships, like sloops and frigates. Now, I bring this question to the largest number of gay* people who like ships I can find: all of you.

*queer, non-cishet, LGBTQ, whatever umbrella term you prefer

Bonus points if you tell us why you're the kind of ship that you are!

Was shown this and asked who it was and at first glance I said it was Bernie sanders.

Then I was like no it's that guy from that show, and then I was told it's Tony Hawk dressed as Larry David... Basically the second guy I guessed.. in that TV show

Tony Hawk as Larry David for Halloween

This would bring ST back to it's humourous roots. I'd love it.

It’s like every week something weird happens.

[the-social-commentator]

I'm watching

Wondering what the hell he's on about

I hear the joke getting setup

I immediately feel the need to scream oh no

He says the punchline.. I'm shocked.

I knew this was the punchline

I was ready

I fell short thinking no one could do say those words

Help.

I'm not sure how anyone took gasoline or motor oil as a milk equivalent..

Gas would be more akin to water- considering that it's a huge requirement for a car as water is for the human body.

Motor oil- while potentially closer is still not as important as juice/electrolytes type drinks. Again more required than milk in this case.

And then wiper fluid would be tears..

So the only logical option is clearly water condensation.. as both men and women can create milk ( it's rare for men) and all cars create condensation the only difference would be that whatever is the cow equivalent in cars probably needs to have the condensation retrieved or removed to continue living comfortably.

It's a little embarassing, but I sent a poll about car milk... I'd imagine you deleted it from being weirded out. if you didn't, do you know if it's queued? I want to see it...

Ah, I remember this one. It was pretty weird and I do think I deleted it, sorry to disappoint.

Just because it's Halloween, though… we can throw in a frightening poll. (A rough approximation of what you sent in, since I don't have it to reference.)

My lord this was amazing to read... But the one part that killed me is the person who said "Let's not glorify Russia failed attempt socialism"

I'm not sure how to take this, the way I read it was to say that oh Russia failed at it so let's look at all these other positive shining examples.

There are none, there are only failed attempts unless you want to count the whole nocsoc/cold war Germany/Russia era. Cause the Germans at the time thought they were doing socialism super well. Which you probably don't want to count for obvious reasons.

People want to scream they're commies and completely forgo the horrible details of what it was like to be gay or anything outside the norm in countries that held that government.

It honestly disgust me as a Queer POC when I hear other members spout off rhetoric they have no clue about.. and I swear none of these guys have read a book in their life or at the very least comprehended the point of Marx's book.

Russia to this day has unspoken laws about gay people, and you'll be beaten in the streets if you were to be found out by your friends to be gay, I know this because I've seen it happen in the US! With a bunch of Russian college students when they were here as a part of a program, happened to be one of their roommates was gay they didn't know that till they walked in on him fucking another man.. they beat the shit out of him, and he refused to call the cops because that's just how life is in Russia..

Like come on people take your head out of your ass, life isn't some fantasy where being this way or that way will fix everything, look into history, learn before you speak.

The hammer and sickle doesn’t belong at a Pride parade any more than an American military flag or a thin blue line patch.

[the-social-commentator]

Sorry the modern flag is actually a picture of Captain Flint looking mighty pissed off and sexy asf.

Get it right! New flag up soon!

The greatest thing I've read in a long time.

Look, anyone who doesn't pick Worf clearly doesn't understand how insanely hilarious, Worf would be alone with a entire crew of muppets.

He's a Klingon, a federation security officer, and generally a rather serious guy. Then you pair him with a crew of muppets?! Y'all really can't see how ridiculous that would be?

He'd be trying to have serious conversations about serious things and the muppets would break out into song about the most useless things imaginable.

Everyone else on this list would actually make a great Muppet, and thus would interact at a level we'd all expect of them. But Worf? Worf would just be pure comedic gold.

Vote for worf!

At the movies cause I actually wanted to watch a movie at IMAX instead of streaming it at home and looking at these ducks I started to call out the different types of ducks and giving them characters or nicknames.

And then I found this guy, and I knew immediately his name was Flint, my partner said but he has a little floaty and his eyes are terrifying.

And I was like yea he has a pink floaty because he's gay and his eyes look like that cause he's flint!
