For all my deaf / mute LGBTQ followers or anyone trying to learn
This is such a great post! Deaf and hard of hearing people are members of our community, so let’s show them some love. You can learn ASL online using the resources in this post: http://mashable.com/2014/04/21/how-to-sign/#SdHJ06gZ1Zqy
I will never not reblog this. It’s so hard to come across this post and this ain’t something ASL class will teach you. Sign language is spectrum of widely used languages (they differ country to country) and you never know when you’re going to need it.
I’m deaf & haven’t been able to find queer signs, thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
canada’s pride and joy is a
doughnut shop named after and founded by a hockey player in the 1960s
for all you non-canadian’s who think I’m exaggerating:
“Tim Hortons holds 62% of the Canadian coffee market (compared to Starbucks, in the number two position, at 7%)
“Canadians eat more doughnuts per capita and have more doughnut outlets per capita than any other nation“
“The company [Tim Hortons] opened twice as many Canadian outlets as McDonald's and system-wide sales also surpassed those of McDonald’s Canadian operations as of 2002”
“The chain accounted for 22.6% of all fast food industry revenues in Canada in 2005.”
there is more to this story and it actually gets better
tim horton the hockey player’s signature move was literally picking opposing players up and hugging them. the guy was like 6′5 on skates, built like a tank, would have come out on top in every hockey fight except that he absolutely refused to punch. someone would hit him and he’d just pick them up in a giant, angry bear hug.
this one time he broke his jaw and leg in a collision and was off the ice for years, and this freaked him tf out, because dude bro do i like…….have value behind all this muscle? what if this like……happens again, bro? what if i can’t play hockey, bro? huh? bro. basically he broke his face and had an existential crisis. happens to the best of us.
so he started a donut shop because he figured he’d need something to do when the next injury rolled around, seeing as oblivion lurks around every corner and none of us have a purpose. he started it in hamilton, ontario.coffee was ten cents.
anyways, when his face got better, he invited a police officer to come run his company so he could go play more hockey. which he did.
so: canada’s pride and joy is a donut shop named after and founded by a touch-starved hockey player in the midst of an existential crisis, that was later run by a cop when the aforementioned hockey player left to play more hockey, that then somehow ate up 62% of the canadian coffee biz. god bless.
A hockey player who hugs his way out of fights is perhaps the most Canadian thing I can imagine.
It just occurred to me, as I’m going through the Harry Potter books again, that whenever Harry has visions through Voldemorts eyes that he always, every single time, distinguishes between himself and Voldemort with the mention of “a white hand held a wand which was not his own”, or something to the effect of describing Voldemorts whiteness. While I’ve always taken this as a comment on how Voldemort is inhumanly, disgustingly pale, It occurred to me that a dark-skinned Harry Potter WOULD notice the stark, shocking difference in hands every single time without fail.
“ It’s armor. On a woman. It doesn’t have to look feminine.”
If I ever don’t reblog this, it’s because I’m dead.
game devs take note
What a weird impulse. Why would you need it to look feminine? Or masculine? It’s armor to protect your body from death. Not dying should be gender neutral.

The Sunday of Vegascon was my 21st birthday and my original plan was to buy a J2M and do this for that op but much to my disappointment; they were sold out when I got there so my friend and I decided to make our shared cockles op be my birthday op and do this.
So I walked up first and said enthusiastically “Today is my 21st birthday! So let’s celebrate!” now what they said in response is very vague because all I remember hearing was my friend Taylor yelling behind me “It’s her birthday! It’s her birthday!” but I think they both said happy birthday to me.
Anyways, I had one bag with two balloons and Taylor had a bag with two balloons. She wanted to be next to Jensen so she immediately went to his side. I had the party hats and handed the green to Jensen and blue to Misha cause..well..those colors are only fitting.
Flower-shop, Brussels, designed by Paul Hankar, XIX century.
This is literally the perfect, most fitting sort of thing to put in the window of an Art Nouveau front like this. One of the things I enjoyed about Brussels was the Art Nouveau architecture- not something you see in Britain much.
