we’re watching the new season of queer eye and my dad is actually crying over the ep with the trans dude, like he’s talking about his top surgery and my dad is in tears going “when you sculpt marble the sculpture is already inside, you’re just getting rid of what isn’t part of it! he’s just getting rid of what isn’t part of him!”
so from my oldass 70 year old dad to all my trans followers, y’all are marble sculptures and you’re perfect
I can’t tell you how much it means to watch the Women’s State of Origin Rugby League match, prime time, with big name commentators. It’s a match crowd of over 6,800 at North Sydney Oval, and they’re incredibly vocal, lots of women’s voices raised in support of the players. And it’s every inch as good and hard a game as I’ve seen the men play.
There are many horrible things about this world we live in, but every now and then, something happens that never would have happened twenty years ago, something positive for equality, and that makes me so incredibly proud.
In Scandinavian mythology there’s only one person who can beat the god Thor in a wrestling match: the elderly woman Elle.
When Thor was asked to wrestle her he laughed, thinking it would be the easiest win of his life, but he had to admit defeat within minutes because Elle is no ordinary old lady. She is the personification of aging itself, and no one can beat age.
