I thought herzog's nosferatu was basically a sound-and-colour version of the original but the sequence where jonathan walks up the mountain to the castle with the swelling dramatic but hopeful music?? mein gott

I hate how in America a) there are Nazis roaming about and b) if one of them assaults you, you are suddenly in 30k of debt. Anyway, help out a comrade.

are you fucking kidding me, the woman i call auntie who is like a second mother to me is my mum's cousin, her children's children call me uncle, this is normal in every culture i have ever encountered

Joel S. @joelhs.bsky.social · 7d

Wait, are people really upset that Mamdani spoke about his “aunt,” and it was actually his father’s cousin and not his father’s sibling?

Because that is an extremely normal thing a lot of cultures do. Including a lot of large Jewish families!

Chris Sommerfeldt @c-sommerfeldt.bsky.social · 7d

In a bit of a tense moment, one of the La Mega co-hosts presses Mamdani on why he "lied" about his "aunt" having been scared to ride the subway after 9/11 while wearing a hijab.

Mamdani says it was "not a lie" because he refers to his father's cousin as his "aunt."

was the only out queer kid in my secondary school to my knowledge, got less shit for it than you'd expect for the early 2000s but people kept trying to blackmail me by threatening to tell my mum, like go ahead mate have you seen me? she's a normie straight woman but she's not an idiot!

jo @quadwaxel.bsky.social · 7d

don't think i ever formally came out to my parents as queer (i told them i was trans when i was like 26) but i also never hid it, constantly talked about how i wanted to marry the goalie on the norwegian handball team

Queer BlueSky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now?

Always knew I was queer but assumed everyone was for a long time, came out at 14 because someone was being a dick about bi people and i was like "i'm bi, do you wanna fucking fight"

I’m 35 now.

liz @ziusik.bsky.social · 7d

Queer BlueSky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now?

Realized I was queer at 13 & went into hardcore denial. Came out to some at 19-20. To my parents at 25.

I’m 43 now.

Queer BlueSky: how old were you when you came out and how old are you now?

Tried to come out in high school, my very queer friends group literally told me to stop faking to fit in with them better, didn't come out again until my late 20s, didn't date a woman until wifey
