often get people in the notes saying my chemical romance because (insert name of member (most likely Frank Iero (rhythm guitarist) or Gerard Way (singer) is bisexual. There is no interview confirming that for either of them. I can confirm two things though 1. that Ray Toro is at least part Puerto Rican-Portuguese (I did copy that from Wikipedia cause I suck at spelling) and 2. Gerard Way is unlabeled and uses he/they pronouns

IDLES (singer is bisexual)

Amyl and The Sniffer (female lead singer)

Mack - Close-ups (Period 1)
San Jose Sharks vs. LA Kings : January 7, 2026

we adopted a new cat a little over a month ago, and if i ever catch myself getting upset at her for hissing or stealing our other cats food or rifling through the trash can, i remember that she lived on the street for a whole year!!! a whole year of life alone!! and she was cold and scared and malnourished and without a mama cat to show her the way!!! and she steals food and digs in the trash because that was how she hunted, and she hisses sometimes because that's all she knew how to do!!! it's enough to make a grown man (me) cry!!!

here's my little street urchin. plus her @littleguysdaily chart i made for her

typewriter!

I love the orchestra trying and failing to maintain a straight face throughout

Exactly. These people had to rehearse at least a few times all at once yet when it's nkt their turn to play they still look at that guy with the typewriter as if he was the most fascinating thing they have ever seen.

My husband's wind ensemble played this song when he was in high school! you can do it with normal auxillery percussion, but it's so much more fun if you do it with a real typewriter

now that is a writing mood

they were really like, the only reasonable approach to this piece is to insert a clown at the center of the orchestra

If you're not playing Leroy Anderson's 1953 classic "The Typewriter" with an actual typewriter on stage... why would you even BOTHER?

From wiki

According to the composer himself, as well as other musicians, the typewriter part is difficult because of how fast the typing speed is: even professional stenographers cannot do it, and only professional drummers have the necessary wrist flexibility

SOBBING AND THROWING UP

[image reads: “geology rocks, but geography is where it’s at”]

Official silly sign

Unironically I think the early to mid 20s age group in America has unbelievably bad consent boundaries on all levels and so much language to defend it but this makes me sound like elon musk if I say it however the commonality of someone who will be like “I had 47 panic attacks and it’s your fault” if you tell them no is insane

I rejected someone and got called “the scariest person I’ve ever met” with so much therapy speak interspersed like alright okay alright okay alright okay

“You just say whatever you’re thinking and I don’t know how to handle it” was verbatim part of this conversation. Also everyone hates to see an autistic bitch

When I was in this age bracket, there was a huge emphasis on improving consent culture via graceful rejection, and it's gone by the wayside. Which sucks.

Twice in my youth (once in high school and once in college) I was in situations where I was asking someone out and I could tell they were calculating in their heads the risks of rejecting me, and both times I said, out loud, "you can say no, I wouldn't have asked if I wasn't prepared for either answer." And then they said no. This wasn't some spark of special wisdom I had - I knew to do it because feminist conversations among my age group brought it up regularly. This isn't happening nearly enough anymore.

More recently, I was really glad when we got to "rejection sensitive dysphoria" in my IOP program and it was one of those symptoms where the therapists really emphasized how it affects others. Because it does.

Being someone who cannot handle rejection makes you much more likely to violate boundaries, and yes, that includes sexual ones. Yes, you, reader who has never hurt a fly. If you don't want to stumble backwards into sexually assaulting someone, fix your RSD meltdowns. If you keep them up it's only a matter of time. Because if you're nice enough to interact with, but are known to have RSD meltdowns, guess what happens when your friends and acquaintances need to reject you?

San Jose, please, there's still time 🙏
