hypothesis: the salt & pepper diner experiment can no longer be conducted as it stands, because everyone is now fully attuned to the opening bars of tom jones’ “what’s new pussycat?”, classically conditioned into a fight-or-flight response. however, this experience can be replicated using 21 back-to-back plays of lou bega’s 1999 hit song “mambo no. 5″, as the general response to “mambo no. 5″ being played twice in a row is not, “hey someone’s playing “mambo no. 5″ again,” but rather, “hey, lou bega’s 1999 hit song “mambo no. 5″ is a lot longer than i first thought.”
@thesaltyace thank you for posting this.
A beautiful rendition of the old lesbian pride flag with trans symbols intentionally included to be sure no one thinks this is a TERF/SWERF symbol.

Triggered by another post I didn’t want to hijack:
Excalibur.
In the legends, Excalibur comes out of a lake (although some versions have Excalibur as the sword in the stone, those are later…the sword Arthur pulls from the stone breaks and he goes to get a better one).
From the “Lady of the Lake.”
Here’s the thing.
In northern Europe in the Iron Age all the way through to the early Medieval period, most iron came from bog iron. It was hard to smelt, because it was a rather low grade ore, but you didn’t have to mine it and it was a renewable resource (in about twenty years you could just come back and get more, because it formed constantly).
Meaning that the iron used to make a sword came…out of water.
In most fairy stories, fairies don’t like iron. So the vision of the Lady as some kind of fairy or elf? Not likely.
The idea of her as a druid? Maybe.
But what’s far more likely is this: The Lady of the Lake was a smith.
But….but…
The Celtic deity in charge of smiths and ironworking was Bridget, a goddess. The mystical associations with the Lady would fit with her being a priestess of Bridget…and thus, a smith.
IOW, Arthurian people, maybe we should not be visualizing the Lady of the Lake as a slender, graceful woman in a gown…
…but as a jacked smith in an apron.
as a college student, my favorite words are “canceled” and “free”
Free pizza is cancelled
Why would you even say something like that

Ok for this I’m going to rip off the segment, “Wife or Dog”. No one’s allowed to hate me for making Keith Sully in this, OKAY.
900 words, rated t,
Lance is the only one brave enough to ask.
“How was your weekend?” he asks Keith as Keith drops his satchel down on his desk. Keith grunts in return, shifting a couple of things around his desk.
“Good,” he says briskly as he sits down. “Yours?”
Lance blinks, surprised he was asked at all. Though to be fair, he and Keith did successfully complete a case together last week. Working with Keith is good; he’s sharp, attentive, and mostly good with the witnesses. Socializing with him is another thing.
“It was good,” Lance replies, and can sense Allura looking at him from the corner of her eye. “Did you spent time with Shiro this weekend?”
Keith raises an eyebrow, and somehow makes even that look intimidating. “Yeah, I went on a hike this weekend and took him along. He hasn’t been able to stretch his legs in a while.”
Lance nods, and tries to parse the information. He looks at Allura, and she shrugs. Hunk gives him the gesture from where he’s seated behind Keith, and Pidge pushes her glasses up her nose.
