Yes. Don’t come here. We’re a pariah nation now. Spend your money elsewhere. #usa #usapolitics
If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

A basket of plums never looked so aesthetically perfect as when painted, in 1629, by Louise Moillon of Paris. Today is her day.

Mannerist passion and drama, and a strangely small head on the horse in Parmigianino's Conversion of Saint Paul, 1527.

Yes, we should have. Pretty much every tech advancement beyond this has just ended up fucking us. Things aren’t getting easier, they’re harder, more inconvenient, and more expensive, with no end in sight.
Being able to ring two people on private number and hold the phones together was a golden era of technology use. We should have stopped there

How could so much glory fit into a single simple glass? It couldn't, of course: Clara Peeters made it up, in 1612, and it's her day.

26 December 1976, The Sex Pistols recorded 'God Save The Queen' at Wessex Studios London. The song was released during Queen Elizabeth's Silver Jubilee in 1977. The record's lyrics and the cover were controversial, and both the BBC and the IBA refused to play the song. I loved it. #SexPistols

It is December which means that it is once again time to share that the Yiddish word for marshmallow is “shney-kishele,” literally LITTLE SNOW PILLOW

If you’ve been staring at a costume for a tad too long, trying to figure out what it could be, then the chances are you’ve had a close encounter with Gay Halloween.
Who Won Gay Halloween This Year?
What’s more gay or queer than pushing that which is marginalized into the spotlight?
