If I see a non-passing t woman in the women's bathroom I feel the need to compliment her, even if I don't love her hair or what she's wearing all that much, because I cried the first time I heard somebody on a show use they/them pronouns and if I can make somebody in real life feel a fraction of that safety and acceptance, I will

@pyrose-the-flame close enough right
[ID: Two images. The first is a recreation of the flag of Bhutan from memory. It features a background split diagonally from lower left to upper right; the upper part is orange and the lower part is yellow. In the center is a poorly-drawn white Chinese-style dragon. It has horns curved upward, eyes looking at the viewer, and a closed mouth, as well as a wavy tail pointed up. In each of its four talons is a sphere. Small half-loops around the body suggest scales.
The second image is the actual flag. The main differences are that the orange and yellow are swapped, and the dragon is much more detailed, with its body more aligning with the diagonal line of the color split. It also has horns curved back instead of up, whiskers, and an open mouth, looking off to the side in a 3/4ths view instead of at the viewer.
End ID.]

I'll forever find it amusing how yellow and green t-shirts with BRAZIL written in the front became a fashion trend abroad. I've seen some with BELO HORIZONTE written too (Belo Horizonte is the capital of the state Minas Gerais), like, is there any thing more random to trend?
Edit: for reference, a pic taken somewhere in Germany I've found on twitter

Do you think Taylor’s a better lyricist than Beyoncé?
I don’t think they’re comparable. They write completely different songs that each cater to their strengths.
Taylor is a small scale, diaristic storyteller that predominantly sings about angsty relationship and dating dynamics with a youthful or first blush skew (even as she ages) and within the confines of middle class white girl/woman experiences and pop or singer/songwriter sounds. Her lyrical style is the kind of white American/euro literary prose and poetic style, which has become the pop music style of those same groups, and she writes within that framework and standard and subject matter. Given her Perfectly Fine voice and inability to deliver the triple threat choreographed show as other pop stars, this is her main appeal, what she focuses on, and what she has honed above all other talents she has.
Beyoncé doesn’t write all of her songs, and is rarely the only songwriter and the songs she writes and chooses cater less to telling a story at all and more to highlighting her incredible voice. She also sings and writes in general about Adult life and adult emotional stakes like marriage and the pleasures of sex and aging and things like that. She also leans towards the hiphop and r&b genre more, with a lyricism that works within the unique style and cadence and frequent subject matter of those genres, specifically singing and writing from the intersectional experiences of being a black woman from the south. Because of that, she’s also able to explore darker and more nuanced themes like misogynior, but also showcase the broader experiences of the black community across gender, sexuality and economic status.
There is crossover of course in the general topic of love and family and general womanhood, but neither of them could do what the other does or tackle the subject matters the other one does with as refined a pen as the other. They have careers build around their own strengths. One may feel like a better songwriter to you because of who’s experiences you understand and relate to more, but also simply what genre of music you like and appreciate more. That’s a biased opinion and it’s fine to have that, if you’re aware of your own bias. But objectively they’re both masters in their given lanes and show that talent in music takes many forms and serves different subjective groups.

I don't get people getting mad over how many flags for sexualities n genders there are
Like
There's like 200 world flags, and I'm pretty sure half of them ain't real
Like, France definitely isn't real, that is 100% a country everyone made up and I refuse to believe otherwise
