I want to go to this exact point and run around it saying “I’m in Sweden!” I’m in Finland!” “I’m in Norway!” until I get tired
i aspire to great things in life
According to Google Maps, that point is in the middle of a small lake.
So we’ll do it in January when it’s frozen.
actually that’s why they’ve helpfully dropped a big-ass cement block with a bridge surrounding it in the middle of the lake: for the express purpose of doing what OP aspires to do
If you care about our gay male community please read.
You probably have seen this flag around if you’re active in online queer spaces.
I’ve seen many people, especially gen z on Tik Tok/Instagram call it a “furry pride flag” or even worse, a “beastiality/zoophilia flag”
Please, STOP.
This is the BEAR BROTHERHOOD FLAG.
This flag was created in 1992. It’s older than me, and older than most of you on this app. It represents bears, an identity that belongs to gay men and their community, just like butch andfemme belong to lesbians. However gay men identifiers usually describe a body type more than a way of presenting.
Bear describes a gay male who is usually chubby with a strong build and very hairy.
It has nothing to do with being attracted to animals.
Those are the two otter flags.
Otter is also a gay male term that describes a body type.
It has also nothing to do with being attracted to animals.
Please learn your history.
This post is important, but if I may add onto the learn your history part, butch and femme aren’t exclusively lesbian terms. They are most often used by lesbians, yes, and bi women, but if you ask some older gay men about their identity they might bring up being butch or femme, and that’s literally okay!
So like, I guess, don’t go after old gay guys who only date “femmes” or dress “butch”.
This goes for bear and otter and twink too! While these terms are associated with people who want/prefer a same gender relationship, they were always inclusive of bi+ people.
TV Executives: “if the strike goes in, you won’t get new episodes of your favorite shows! You won’t get new movies you were looking forward to! Isn’t that terrible, what the writers are doing to you?”
Me: Bitch, that might have been an effective threat in 2007, but we have since survived a Covid shutdown and discovered ways to amuse ourselves while we waited, we can outwait this shit, too. I got a pile of shows saved I haven’t even watched yet, and a Mt. TBR waiting for me.
Compensate (and respect) your writers for their work, assholes.
It’s just hilarious that they’re trying to pull this whole “but your favorite shows!” nonsense.
Oh, you mean the shows you cancel after the third season no matter how good they’re doing to avoid paying writers residuals? The shows that get produced and then never aired because you found a nice tax writeoff? The shows whose writing suffers because the writers’ room got six weeks to write before getting booted and making the showrunner adapt all their scripts? The shows you straight up pulled from your streaming service to scam their crews out of rewatch money?
I will happily sacrifice my shows for the writers that gave them to me, no questions needed, but if anyone tries to say that the blatantly terrible way streaming treats its writers is somehow beneficial to shows, remind them of Infinity Train and Batgirl. That’s the ideal they’re pushing towards if someone doesn’t say no, and we should be thankful that the writers are doing that for us.
Chris and I just finished our fourth re-watch of Leverage. We have Elementary cued, and then we’re gonna watch DS9.
