I know everybody’s sickened by how every corporation is suddenly pro-LGBT and yeah it would have been nice to see such support waaay before now, but I think it’s kind of hilarious. Like, everything’s gay now. In one fell swoop the greatest fears of the bigots have come to be. The very Gatorade you drink is gay. The car you drive is gay. It’s all gay.
I’m so glad it’s not just me. I haven’t stopped laughing in like days.
fun fact: i’m happy for all same sex couples getting married today, and i’m a big sap for all of them, but nothing quite opens the floodgates as much as seeing elderly gay couples get married
this is particularly important because it shuts down the stubborn notion that queerness is all about being young and having wild kinky sex, it shuts down the talk that “having a bicurious phase” is just the latest fad, it makes queerness into a non-sexualized topic that concerns sedate elderly folks and therefore also concerns middle-aged people and elementary schoolers and people who aren’t high schoolers/college students that can be dismissed as sexual deviants, and that’s a slap in the face to bigots that i love to see
The other night, I had plans to go to an engagement party with the new guy I’m dating - it was for his best friend, and it was at a bar AKA the first time we would be drinking together.
Before we left for the bar, he and I were sitting on his bed talking, and he says, “Oh, I forgot I wanted to ask you something.” He proceeds to ask about when we get home from the bar, if I am wanting/trying to have sex with him, should he have sex with me, and/or what he should look for to know if I am too incapacitated to give consent.
That is the first and only time a guy has ever preemptively considered and asked about what consent would and would not look like with me.
i mean the reason the gay community fought for marriage rights was bc during the aids crisis their partners would literally die in the hospital all alone bc their partners couldnt visit them bc they were not “family”
ppl would lose their homes, their inheritances, even their children bc they were not “family” with their deceased partners
like this shit isnt about a tax cut. just let gay people celebrate this important acquisition
Today on the 9th day of the holy month of Ramadan, 25 Muslims were unjustly murdered by a mosque bombing in Kuwait. May Allah bless the souls of the those who were lost and heal those who were harmed.
﴿ الَّذِينَ إِذَا أَصَابَتْهُم مُّصِيبَةٌ قَالُواْ إِنَّا لِلّهِ وَإِنَّـا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعونَ ﴾
My 13 yearold sister got asked out as a joke today. She’s now locked herself in her room crying. I swear to god this is the most fucked up thing ever. She won’t speak to me or my mom and she’s blasting Taylor Swift but you can still hear her crying.
If you ask someone out as a joke, fuck you, you are literally the scum of the earth.
Reblogged after the first sentence
Do. Not. Ask. People. Out. As. Jokes. Ever. Not for april fools, not any other day. You never know how much someone might like you or how badly someone might feel for getting dumped.
Given your username...have you spotted a gifset for all the appearances of Furiosa's femur-topped gearshift knife? There ought to be one....
You’re entirely responsible for tonight’s rewatch btw. Anyone able and willing, feel free to snag these below.
Introduction:
Sandstorm:
Revealed as a knife when Max left to fix the pod:
In the fight against Nux:
With the Vuvalini, I think this is the only shot like this, with the knife centered in a two shot. Increasing suspicion that the bone was from Mary JoBassa:
Used to stab a War Boy:
Who used it to stab Furiosa:
Bonus, the knife Max used on Furiosa wasn’t bone-handled and it was the only time he used a knife:
Otherwise knives were used on him:
In the bottom fight, Max is swinging the boltcutters, which Furiosa used against him in their first fight. How’s that for a theme?
don’t yell at cashiers if they are asking you to sign up for a charge/debit card - their employers are pushing them to ask everyone
don’t yell at cashiers if they’re taking too long folding your clothes in your bags - their managers are telling them not to ball up your shit bc it shows you care
don’t yell at cashiers bc they are taking a while to scan your card- machines fuck up
don’t yell at cashiers pls
ty
and for goodness sakes, don’t yell at your cashiers because you don’t like the prices. We know, we don’t like the prices either but there’s nothing we can do
Fully loaded. You’re more than welcome to come with us.
Okay I have writing promises to keep but I need to scream about this for JUST ONE MOMENT. (okay no first tho, ‘you’re more than welcome’ oh god what Furiosa what, what’s coming out of your mouth, do you realize Furiosa has like 100 lines in this movie, she uses short sentences, she doesn’t waste words. what is she. what is falling out of her mouth.)
And this bike tho.
Check out his bike.
Look at all the fabric on it. That’s not fabric scavenged from War Boys. That’s Vuvalini fabric. All except his new neck scarf, which the costuming behind the scenes notes indicate is a status symbol among War Boys. And he doesn’t appear to have it the night before despite the chillyness.
It’s the same fabric. Did she seriously just promote him secretly? Like, oh hey, here’s this scarf, you’ll probably find it useful. (oh hey, here’s this medal of honor, I think you can make use of the pin. oh hey, here’s this cop car, you should drive it. Oh hey wear this doctor’s lab coat… YOU JUST DON’T DO THAT.) Just imagine Max going back to the Citadel and the War Boys automatically calling him Imperator and his deeply deeply confused face.
But back to the bikes, even more, compare:
Nux and Capable in the back, then a trailer, then two bikes, another half-full trailer with a vuvalini riding it, then a bunched up group in front:
Now Max is the lead bike, Furiosa’s bike doesn’t have any gear on it.
For the most part there’s maybe half the amount of stuff on their bikes as that which’ve been crammed onto Max’s. Even taking into account the the amount that’s been crammed onto the trailers, you have to admit that Max’s bike is more than just “fully loaded”, if we assume a fully-loaded bike is the average bike you see here.
Now I just want you to imagine Max’s awkward face as the Vuvalini all try to press things into his hands and giving him head daps and Furiosa not even looking because she tried yesterday, dammit, and he already told her no and she’s busy checking things over kthxbye.
shoutout to all the american LGBT+ kids who are forced farther into the closet from hearing their parents’ homophobic slurs from today’s news. You’re all amazing and you dont deserve to have to live with parents like this.
The most glaring problem with so-called traditionalism is that it’s not historically accurate. People have been having gay sex since forever. People have been having interracial sex since forever. So what tradition are you referring to exactly? Nationalism? That shit’s only been around for like 150 years and even then two nightmare wars later and people are weary as fuck of those kind of attitudes.
The idea that people in the past were morally pure is a pervasive myth. Do you know that humans were making mead before they were growing crops? Do you know that there’s a reason prostitution is called “the oldest profession”? Have you seen the dirty graffiti they sprawled on the walls in Pompeii?
Traditionalists are suffering from the fallacy of presentism, the belief that things around them that they don’t like are new and the things they do like have been around for a long long time. Unfortunate for them, history disagrees.

THERE MIGHT BE SIX PAGES OF DIALOGUE IN THE SCRIPT. MAYBE TEN IF THEY WROTE OUT TOM HARDY’S GRUNTING. IT’S GOOD GRUNTING, DON’T GET ME WRONG BECAUSE MOST OF TOM HARDY’S WORK HERE IS DIALOGUE WITHOUT DIALOGUE. MAX SAWS AT THE BACK OF HIS MASKED HEAD WITH A NAIL FILE SO FAST AND WITH SUCH INSANE ANGER THAT IT BECOMES A LINE.
CHARLIZE THERON’S EYES ARE EASILY HALF THE DIALOGUE IN THE MOVIE AND MOST OF THE LINES THEY SAY ADD UP TO SOMETHING LIKE “I’M ONLY GOING TO USE ONE BULLET ON THIS SHITPILE OF A WORLD BECAUSE THAT’S ALL IT DESERVES AND ALSO ALL I NEED TO KILL BECAUSE I AM THE MOST LETHAL TWO-HEADED LIZARD PROWLING THIS CURSED EARTH.” SHE SHOULD GET AN OSCAR. I AM NOT KIDDING AT ALL.
EVERYTHING THIS FILM IS DESIGNED TO DO DEPENDS ON IT OVERPOWERING YOU WITH THE MOST BASIC ELEMENTS OF HUMAN EXISTENCE: FLIGHT, PAIN, FEAR AND MAYBE HOPE. HOPE’S A MAYBE.
