“I specifically don’t want to think about his sexuality. I don’t think he has that down or actually really understands what that is, so I don’t want to understand it. There’s a good analogy I heard about a golf swing—I don’t fucking play golf so I don’t know—but there are nine very specific things you’re supposed to do in a golf swing. But if you want it to be perfect, you have to learn all of them and forget all of it. So I don’t want to have to learn every aspect of him and then work extra hard to not know… there’s something I intuitively sort of understand about his sexuality.” - Kieran Culkin
ROMAN ROY looking at men | Succession (2018 - 2023)
After almost a decade on this site, I found another Tumblr user in the wild. I stopped to tie my shoe with rainbow laces this morning outside the silversmith at Colonial Williamsburg, and I heard it.
“I like your shoelaces.”
Oh. Oh no.
I responded the only way I could. “Thanks.” And then I reluctantly added, “I stole them from the president…and if that makes sense to you, I’m very sorry.”
The poor man, in full Colonial dress, stared at me for a long moment. And then burst into laughter. And said, “I haven’t thought about that in YEARS and this has never happened to me before.”
why are apple users incapable of just saying “phone” “laptop” etc why is it always “my iphone my ipad my macbook” like is it a brand flexing thing or do they just not know the words? you dont hear me saying shit like “damn i misplaced my samsung again” “my acer sounds like a jet engine rn” who talks like that
Transphobes who say their pronouns are beep/boop or something else in their bio underestimate my willingness to adhere to those pronouns
I love the normalization of neopronouns for this reason. Transphobes are just gonna get their “ironic” pronouns used and respected lmao. Neopronouns users were so based for doing this.
A classmate in undergrad once tried to test me by claiming she would only agree to respect nonbinary pronouns if I used Her Majesty as pronouns for her.
She lasted 2 days before she realized I had absolutely zero problem doing exactly that and was too embarrassed to ever argue with me about pronouns in class again.
When I was working at the greenhouse, one of my coworkers was getting flustered because he was a Proper Gentleman who called everyone “Sir” or “Ma'am” and was getting genuinely heated that there wasn’t a gender-neutral honorific for nonbinary people like me.
“Well, you could always call me ‘Your Majesty’.” I said.
As a Joke.
Because in addition to looking and sounding like an older Yosemitie Sam, he took me Extremely Seriously and addressed me as “Your Majesty” for the rest of the summer. Which was hysterical because it was things like “Your Majesty? Where is the fungicide?” and *gestures at me* “You’ll have to as Their Majesty about the tomatoes.” He also would call every single person he could not immediately identify the gender of “Your Majesty” and also everyone that had neon hair.
So yes, you should absolutely rigorously adhere to someone’s pronouns (Especially if they’re unusual pronouns), because it’s respectful, because it’s clowning on assholes, and because it is fucking delightful.
My brother’s girlfriend had HPV, so he went to get himself the HPV vaccine. There is a fee to pay (nothing much, something like €87) but it’s completely free if you’re in one of the “at risk” groups.
“What does that mean,” he asks. “It’s free if you’re gay,” he’s told. “Ah. Would I have to like, prove it, or…?” “Just put in a check mark here.”
My brother is in no way, shape or form attracted to men, but also he’s stingy as it gets. So now he’s officially gay. Congrats bro.
“Doctor, give it to me straight” “You sure, there’s a fee” “… Give it to me gay”
