What being transgender after 50 looks like

neutrois:

I’m frequently asked, “are there older genderqueer / non-binary people out there?” Of course!

Many just aren’t as visible – the media doesn’t cover their stories, they aren’t online blogging and posting selfies, and more likely than not they’ve had to hide under a historically harsher LGBT-unfriendly climate.

Here’s to all my “older” wiser friends. It’s never too late to transition.

(PS: The photography also has a Kickstarter project that closes in a few days.)

Freddie Mercury loved his cats, so much so that while on tour he would periodically call home to talk to them. His one-time girlfriend and long-time close friend Mary Austin would hold the cats up to the phone so they could listen to him speak. [x]

Mr. Bad Guy, the first solo album from Freddie Mercury was dedicated to his cats. He said: “This album is dedicated to my cat Jerry – also Tom, Oscar and Tiffany, and all the cat lovers across the universe – screw everybody else!” [x]

Also, the song ‘Delilah’ is entirely about Freddie Mercury’s cat.

An Ancient Babylonian Customer Service Complaint Inscribed on a Clay Tablet Around 1750 BC

“0/10 stars burn their village and scatter their people”

so yelp started out weird

customers have sucked for 3,000 years

I’m just very confused by all the people who rt’d this from me on twitter and added ‘for when you’re pissed off enough to carve it into stone’.  I… it’s clay? you used a stylus to press letter sounds into it, it’s no more work than writing with a pencil.

While the angry customer would probably have gotten his scribe to do this, I am really amused by the image of a guy furiously stabbing his stylus into the clay and all his marks being angry and uneven.

The really fun part is that this isn’t the only complaint about this particular guy. Ea-nasir is well known to historians due to the dozens of surviving documents complaining about his shady business practices, spanning everything from household goods to real estate speculation to second-hand clothing. He’s literally gone down in history for being such a colossal asshole.
