gays dress like everyone from Jurassic Park tbh

Fair point

Not even sure if these are types of gay, but here we are

You forgot the T. Rex

Omg you’re right, I forgot the T-Rex!!!

@the-only-useful-lesbian

The dinosaur is an amazing punchline but Dennis Nedry not making it on this post is pure ‘Hawaiian Shirt Gay’ erasure.

This is also super competent, super over it lesbian erasure

romancelesbian:

love really is cooking. cooking for and with your friends is an act of love. cooking for and with your partner is an act of love. cooking for YOURSELF is especially an act of love. the care, the tenderness, and affection??? to nourish not only yourself but the ones you love??? those moments you spend??? god its just love thats all i can say

This is one of the points I attempt to make in basically every fic I write, lol

Anyway if you’re from the US and you ever wanted to know what tumblr feels like from a non-USAmerican perspective (please note that the rest of the world is not a monolith either and none of these apply without exception):

Everybody’s talking about brands and stores you’ve never seen in real life. You generally assume they exist, but they might as well be one giant prank the rest of the internet is in on. You find a post that just sounds wrong. It makes no sense. It’s like OP lives in a weird alternate reality. 9/10 times, it’s just some USAmerican Thing. You’re still not entirely sure how much an inch is. Or a foot. Or even how many of the former there are in the latter. You maybe know your height in feet and inches. You have no idea how much a pound is. You’d also like to know how the fuck pound shortens to lbs. What the fuck is “military time”Somebody talks about some legal process or something similar. They don’t mention which country’s legal system this pertains to. You know anyway. People talk about politics. None of it pertains to you. Many posts contain guilt tripping. “How can you not care about this?? Why won’t you reblog this?? People need to know this about x candidate for y position!” You’re busy trying to stay on top of the political landscape in your own country. You pick up some random slang from the internet. Monkey see monkey do. You’re called racist. You didn’t know it was AAVE. You learnt it from black letters on white background, not from the mouths of people whose faces you could see. How would you have known? You try to unlearn it. People tell you that you must publicly denounce Chick-fil-A or you’re homophobic. You don’t even know what a Chick-fil-A is. People say you don’t know LGBTQ+ history. What they mean is you don’t know USAmerican LGBTQ+ history. Nobody cares about your country’s history. You’re “called out” on using an “offensive” term. It’s (a direct translation of) a completely harmless word where you live. People expect you to have an idea of how far apart 2 USAmerican states are. You barely know geography past your country’s immediate neighbors. You randomly switch between British and American spellings. Nothing’s real and there are no rules. People talk about multiple hour car rides and you get twitchy just thinking about it. You suddenly understand why USAmerican cars are so big. Somebody talks about school shooting drills. You only ever had fire alarm drills. You see a cool statistic. The study’s only about the US. It’s unfortunately of no use to you. People misuse/misspell words and names from your native language. It’s tiring. (You feel sorry for the French. Nobody should be allowed to mangle the word déjà vu like that.)You’re still not over the fact that USAmerican school children are supposed to say that pledge thing every morning. You’re never getting over that. You still don’t know why the men are fresh or what the fuck a sophomore is. Who the fuck pays up first and then fills up gas??? That’s made up, right??Everybody has a weird obsession with some comfort food you’d never even heard of before you signed up here.

Fellow non-USAmericans, please add anything else you can think of.

Everyone’s obsessed with this bill guy and keeps chanting his nameMoreover people are getting excited about all these remakes of old cartoons you’ve never heard of much less seenYou still don’t get how people can eat that stuff for breakfastAnd you still don’t know how people can afford all that takeout when usually that means doubling the priceYou have no idea how to calculate a tip. When are you supposed to tip, anyway?You know more about the general layout of a typical USAmerican high school than the one you went toIt wasn’t that long ago that you realised that ‘cheer leading’ isn’t the leader of the cheering group, but the actual term for the sport itselfYou see a cool survey. It’s USA only.You see a cool competition or raffle. It’s USA only.You see a cool movie/series that’s supposed to be on Netflix. It’s USA only.You see a cool movie/series. It’s on Hulu/HBO/Prime.
You see a cool movie/series. It won’t be released on a platform you have access to, or in your country, for another 6 months.
People will guilt you for not “supporting the writer” of said movie or show.A friend links you a song on YouTube/Spotify. It’s not available in your country (unless you’re using a VPN).Your own Netflix has a 1/10 of the content and most of it is shitty old documentaries you have no interest in. You’ve seen it all already.
People keep talking about 1 day shipping??And then they complain if it takes a few days to arrive? Honey, I order my Halloween stuff in August out of necessity.Especially because local stores don’t sell Halloween things.And even then it’s like, $70 in shippingAnd Halloween is only something you celebrate in your own home. You’ve never carved a pumpkin, never gone trick-or-treating. You think hayriding is when you slide down a hill on a bale of hay and try not to fall off. 
You’ve been shamed by Uncle Roger who says you should get a rice cooker but they’re nearly $100You ask your friends what you should have for dinner and they hit you with a dozen really good ideas, all of which either include an ingredient you don’t have access to, or a crock pot.You’d have a lot more fandom related stuff like shirts and figures and posters, if they were actually physically sold anywhere near you and you didn’t have to order it online and pay $70 in shipping and wait a month and a half for it to (maybe) arrive and suddenly you’re not a ‘real fan’.You can name more USAmerican states than municipalities/counties/provinces in your own country because USAmericans always tell you which state they’re from rather than just the country itself, even in international chats.
You know the difference between cloths/clothes, breath/breathe and there/their/they’re and you can’t fathom how it’s possible to so consistently make those errors in one’s native tongueYou keep seeing all those neat promotional stuff and exclusives like those plastic cups you get at the movies with your favourite comic book character on them and you know that you’ll never see one with your own eyesARE YOU TELLING ME YOU CAN BUY IRON MAN PASTA?? Like, pasta, but in the shape of arc reactors and Iron Man helmets???Coffee Shop AUs are one of your fave fic tropes even though you’ve never been to oneYou shudder at the idea of washing your underwear in a public washing machine.While you’re having a heatstroke you’re being told that that’s not hot? THIS IS HOT. IT’S SO HOT THE STREETS ARE MELTING. WE LIVE IN A LITERAL DESERT.You’re then told how hot it is in the literal desert over in the USA and you have no idea how hot it is but you assume it’s a lot because it has three digits.

You make a post about an issue in your own country without mentioning where it is.You get multiple annoyed/confused comments from Americans, assuming that you were writing about the USA and complaining that you’ve misrepresented it.Next time you make a post about a your-country specific issue, you make sure to mention the country, give some basic cultural context and possibly even include explanations in brackets for certain concepts. You get multiple annoyed/confused comments from Americans, assuming that you were writing about the USA and complaining that you’ve misrepresented it.

-people talk about racism issues as though they play out the same way all over the world in every context as though they’re all the same as the American context

-same comment, but for LGBTQ2+ issues

-just the general ignorance that there is a world beyond the US’ borders in general. Americentrism is everywhere
