every western movie ever made: The wild west is dying. theres no more room left for cowboys anymore…

me everytime: :(

every samurai movie ever made (both edo and bakamatsu periods): The bushido code is dying. there no more room left for samurai anymore…

me everytime: :(

A lot of westerns are remakes of samurai movies

those samurai movies were very often heavily inspired by 50′s and 40′s westerns

Cowboys and samurai are brothers separated by time and space.

Best duo.

I’ve got y’alls new favorite art piece right here.

According to Google, Samurai were abolished in 1868.

This means that at the same time that cowboys were reaching their end, so too were samurai.

Cowboys and Samurai were separated not by time, only space.

I’ve got something else to add to this: there’s also an extremely specific species of mushroom that can only be found in Texas and Japan. I’m serious.

The most ambitious crossover

Fantasy setting but it’s just Texas and Japan together at last

@britonell your tags I’m dying xD

when a trans man dies because his murderer wanted him to be a woman and his masculinity defied that, regardless of how much misogyny motivated his murder, that man still died because he was a man. because he refused to call himself woman when he was told that was his place.

many men would not be dead if we could simply hold our tongue and our breath and our life closed by continuing to be woman. but many men can’t. trying to do that kills us slowly. when we shed off that lie we can instead, at least, die violently, quickly, brutally, and then have our murder counted in femicide statistics without anyone recognizing that a man died because he dared to be a man

systemic or nonsystemic, the personal prejudices people have against trans masculinity and female masculinity is ultimately for their masculinity and not for their “failure to perform femininity”. we can perform femininity as much as we want and transphobes will still kill us because we dared grasp for a label they do not want us to have.

Gee, I wish there was a way to convey chatter between two comic book characters

Hear that voice? That's the voice of incredible low prices! The humble speech bubble only $19.85!

Oh so THIS is the ps5 post. I can see why you all imprinted on it now that’s hilarious

i think the internet should transition from being so usa-centric to being brazil-centric. not cos i have any personal connection or bias towards brazil, i just think if anyone could possibly usurp america’s cultural dominance online it’d be them

“man i just woke up where are all these notifs coming fro—“

The idea of “but everyone knows that” needs to stop.

I saw a post about someone chiding Millennials for not knowing about JKRowlings transphobia, and asking how it is at all possible that people can exist in the world and the internet and, you know, not know.

Which I mean, I get. It is so present in so many of my online spaces that it seems astounding that someone could simply be ignorant! It feels impossible!

But let me tell you a story:

I went on a girls trip with a bunch of friends. All of us are rather incredibly liberal and all of us are incredibly online.

One girl would not stop talking about Harry Potter.

At one point, another girl asked her why she was ok with supporting it, and she had no real clue that JK Rowling was at all transphobic. She had heard that she likes to support Lesbian causes and thought “oh ok cool!” And that was it. She was AGOG with the news and rather horrified.

I must once again emphasize that she was an incredibly online person. She’s a foodie and a restaurant blogger.

Later in the trip we were picking restaurants and I suggested one I found on Google, and she gasped at me. Actually gasped, asking how I could ever be okay picking that one.

The shock must’ve been on my face, because she then told me all of the shitty things that restaurateur does. He abuses staff. Underpays them. Fires them on a whim. Is known for being one of the worst people to his employees in the entire restaurant business on this coast.

And she was so shocked I had never heard of this. Because in her mind, I was just as online as her. And in her online world, EVERYONE knew about this guy.

So I think the moral of this story is: always approach the other person with some empathy. Even online people, even people you think MUST know about how bad people are, may not have heard. It may truly be just them being on a different sphere of the internet than you.

So be gentle, be kind when letting people know they might not have heard about the cancellation of XYZ person. Don’t assume that everyone knows all the same info as you.

By all means, let them know so they can make informed decisions, but being kind will go a lot further than attacking them for some info they might not know yet.

I have never heard a cat purr ANGRILY, but today I told Fancy it was still six minutes to dinner and she would have to WAIT for ALL OF THEM.

ANGRIER.

I had a dream last night that the new trend on Tumblr was to post a photo of your daily medication in your hand with the caption "diagnose me" in glitter text like this:

what tags do you want me to add to this post, tumblr. what tags. my pills #mypills.

00346 - A Regular Man [Who Is Not A Goose] - 410 Polygons

hey i think that guy is a goose!!

I mourn for the men and boys we never knew.

How many were there, throughout all of human history? Thousands? Millions? Billions, even? How many little boys were forced into femininity, married off and grew into “women” without ever knowing why it all felt so wrong? How many men never got the chance to cut their hair, to wear their husband or father’s clothes, to do anything to explore their mind and body under the constant oppressive force of the (cis)patriarchy? How many couldn’t live on their own, couldn’t go to school, couldn’t even go outside without supervision? How many never knew themselves, never were given the chance to know themselves, because they were kept as a housemaid and servant to their husband and children?

How many were there, that did know? That knew they weren’t women, that knew they were men but had no way to explore or externalize that desire. No freedom to find community, no privacy in their homes, no money or possessions not approved by the cis men in their lives. For the few who were brave and lucky enough to try but were caught, the result was what we see now: erasure. Labelled as “tomboys” and mentally ill, to this day still called women because their voice was never heard. Never was allowed to be heard. Even for the even fewer who did, or even got away with it, in the end the same result occurs. Arguments over their identity, refusal to believe their word over what others wanted them to be. A woman. And those were the tiny, lucky few. For the rest…

How many men were institutionalized? How many mutilated, raped and murdered for refusing to follow their imposed societal role? How many died by the hands of the government, their community, their own loved ones, for the crime of who they were? No money or connections to fall back on, treated as a defective object rather than a failed person. Buried in clothes they hated, eulogized with names that burned on their tongue and quietly, routinely erased.

People think of all of these things as women’s issues, but they’re wrong. They’ve happened to men (and non-women), too. They have been happening, for as long as the concept of gender has existed in the first place. Men who were silenced, men who were invisible, men who never even got to feel in their hearts what they actually were. The trans community is haunted by their ghosts, invisible as they were in life. I wish we could see them.

Jokes on them my pussy calcifys when aroused

In all seriousness though... clits also firm up through 100% same mechanism as dicks because the two are essentially the same organ just differently proportioned... if you have any of that you are capable of getting "hard"

Mine gets harder than all of yours though. Mine mineralizes. It fossilizes. I'm harder than a man or woman could ever be.

You should probably have that looked at but honestly if it doesn't bother you then you do you I guess.

You wouldn't believe how many geologists I pull
