Let go of the idea that diy will inherently look shit. All your clothes are handmade you just don't see the people doing it.

it’s necessary to fight back against adult content bans obviously because it leads to queer bans, but also, you cannot forget that we must fight back against these bans because adults have the right to make and enjoy adult content. no credit card company has the right to censor what we look at. yes, this includes the “problematic kinks” and stuff you think is gross and bad. just as we deserve to be openly queer online, we deserve to enjoy adult content without fear of total censorship, and it’s absurd how few places there are to do that online nowadays

You ever look at some art your mutual made and you just sit there in stunned silence and awe that one of your friends is out there making jaw-dropping beautiful art just for the hell of it

Okay the WEIRDEST THING is going going down right now

So some guy in Michigan in the US has just found a letter in his grandmother’s house; it seems to be a pen pal letter from 1973ish, and it’s from a young Welsh girl. In it, she lists:

Her name, and the names of her brother (Gwynedd) and sister (Catrin)

Their ages

Where she lives in Wales (Denbigh)

Her hobbies, including horse riding and reading pony books.

So this American dude decides to take a photo, whack it on Twitter and ask the only Welsh person he knows if there’s any way to track this Welsh girl down, because you know, ALL WELSH PEOPLE KNOW EACH OTHER, OBVIOUSLY

Except

I am furious to report that it has worked

Welsh person he tags doesn’t know, but takes up the challenge. Someone reckons the Catrin might be a woman who translated a hymn book once, and checks the foreword to see that the dates and ages do seem to be about right. Someone else suddenly has a brainwave - wait, isn’t she the mother of Steff, the comedian?

My husband gets tagged, takes one look at this letter, and is like “That is 1000% my aunt.”

So now it’s 20 to midnight, Steff’s aunt has obviously not yet seen the excited message to put Twitter out of their misery, and my mother-in-law is currently on the phone gleefully telling us that when that letter was written her sister had never sat on a horse in her life before, and she’d lied to an American pen pal for clout before the internet even existed.

I'm kind of obsessed with how Patrick Stewart is Not gay. He's literally straight he just acts like that. Ian McKellen is gay so it's easy to think logically that so is Patrick Stewart but he's not. Unparalleled. Don't call yourself an ally unless you kiss your gay friends on the mouth

In case you haven't been keeping up with the latest in Reddit drama:

CEO backhandedly threatens to seize control of shuttered subreddits that are protesting, by replacing the mods with more pliable/amenable ones

He couches this as the need to respect the will of the people, because the entire narrative he's been spinning is that only a few people are ruining the site for everyone

He also de-legitmizes all the hard work mods have done cultivating and maintaining popular subreddits by equating them to "landed gentry"

Some subreddits (like r/apple) reopen under duress, because they don't want to have their hard-earned communities stolen from them

Others (r/gifs, r/aww, r/pics) decide to go the malicious compliance route. After all, if this is all about respecting the will of the people, then let's by all means give them the same sort of narrow pathway forward that the CEO himself is offering

They put up polls with 2 choices: Either everything goes back to the way it was before the protests, or every post must be John-Oliver-related (i.e., sexy pics of John Oliver, gifsets of John Oliver, etc etc etc)

I mean after all, let's give the people choice, just the sort of choice you're offering mister CEO?

John Oliver wins in a landslide

Meanwhile, John Oliver - who has been conspicuously silent on Twitter since May1st (as he respects the writer's strike) - breaks his silence to give blessing.

He doesn't just give blessing though - he starts supplying embarrassing photos of himself to stoke things

The people have spoken

Hey, just so anyone whose mind isn't rotted by video essayists knows: The anti-LGBT film Lady Ballers produced by the Daily Wire was supposed to be a documentary. The original plan behind the film was that they were going to actually get a bunch of men to dress in drag and enter into women's sports, then record the results.

However, the barrier of entry for trans women to qualify for admission into women's sports proved to be prohibitively high, and they couldn't find any men willing to go the extra mile in undergoing hormone therapy and transitioning to the point they met the criteria for admission.

The Daily Wire accidentally disproved and discredited the entire concept of "men in women's sports", and were forced to turn the film into a shitty piece of comedy fiction instead.
