I’m pretty sure he’s trying to get a candy from Kim’s pocket... And The check was successful, I guess.

Until death, all defeat is psychological.

To butches who can’t or don’t work out, who can’t or don’t do sports, who can’t build, fix, or lift weight... who don’t have the physical strength that can be so romanticized in online, but not only, spaces...

To butches who need any type of mobility aid... butches with any type of mental disability or chronic condition...

To fat butches... the more shy, more reserved butches... the submissive butches... butches who desire to be sought out, butches who won’t make the first move... butches who still suffer with the predatory stigma... butches with softer personalities... butches with high-pitched voices and laughter...

To transfem butches, to transmasc butches... butches on E, butches on T, butches with long hair, butches who decided against or in favor of top surgery, butches who have chosen a new name for themselves...

To the butches who embrace their own brand of femininity or masculinity as it comes... to every butch who doesn’t fit into the stereotypes.

To every butch who feels they won’t ever find someone who truly sees them, loves them...

You will.

You haven’t met everyone who will love you yet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUTCHES 🖤

HAPPY BUTCH APPRECIATION DAY—EVERY DAY

This is a comment someone appended to a photo of two men apparently having sex in a very fancy room, but it’s also kind of an amazing two-line poem? “His Wife has filled his house with chintz” is a really elegant and beautiful counterbalancing of h, f, and s sounds, and “chintz” is a perfect word choice here—sonically pleasing and good at evoking nouveau riche tackiness. And then “to keep it real I fuck him on the floor” collapses that whole mood with short percussive sounds—but it’s still a perfect iambic pentameter line, robust and a lovely obscene contrast with the chintz in the first line. Well done, tumblr user jjbang8

I hate that my aesthetic sense agrees with this but everything you just said was correct

I went back to dig up this post because I was thinking about poetry.

This is one of those non-poem things that are among my favorite poems.

As the OP stated, the use of alliterative consonants is aesthetically just great, especially the placement of the strongest use at the end: “fuck him on the floor.” The use of “chintz” is indeed great word choice.

Because I’m insane, decided to scan the poem:

Not only is the second sentence, indeed, perfect iambic pentameter, the entire poem is perfectly metered, though the first sentence has four iambs rather than five.

There are further things I love about this poem, though: I like the casual connotations of “keep it real” juxtaposed with “chintz.” It causes me to interpret the “chintz” more strongly as meaning something fake, a facade. There is also of course the coarseness of “fuck,” which is a contrast with “chintz” but a different kind of contrast, gutsy and carnal where “chintz” is flimsy and inanimate.

And then there is the storytelling: there is SO MUCH storytelling in just these two lines. To break it down: The speaker is having sex with a married man, in the house he shares with his wife, which is “filled with chintz”—something that here connotes fakeness, in contrast with “keep it real.”

The illicit encounter in the poem takes place within a house filled with facade, the flimsy construction of the wife’s marriage and domestic sphere, but the encounter itself is a taste of something “real.” That’s a story, and it’s just two lines.

This is EIGHTEEN SYLLABLES, y’all. The amount of meaning condensed into these eighteen syllables is stunning, and it is so elegantly done.

From a technical standpoint (and ive taken 300- and 400-level poetry classes so I can say this) this is damn near flawless as a poem.

Kept thinking about this ever since I saw it and had to do something

there's art now

Ah dang to go further; the floor is framed as a refuge. As if there is literally no other space in this house that hasn't been populated by his wife with flimsy inanimate fakery. There is no space for this man in this house save for the floor. There is no space for him on the sofa, oon the counter tops, and most notably, no space for him in the marital bed.

I’d also like to point out the use of the word “has.” The wife has filled the house with chintz. She isn’t filling the house with chintz. She doesn’t fill the house with chintz. She has filled the house with chintz. Use of the past-tense makes the wife a subtly removed element in the story, someone whose presence we see in the environment, but who is blissfully distant during the actors throes of passion. There is an element of physical as well as emotional separation from the wife that is catalyzed by being fucked on the floor. Use of the past tense is an end to the wife presence in the actors life, a carnal catharsis amid cold fragility and emotional distance.

This is my new favourite post in the world

everyone cheer for the one (1) time tumblr had reading comprehension

And, predictably, it's because it was about gay sex

I’m pissed.

Just to name a few:

Oscar Piastri did A-levels in Maths, Physics and Computer Science

Arvid Lindblad either did or is currently doing A-levels in maths and chemistry

Carlos Sainz was forced by his dad to get to a uni entrance exam, meaning he has finished school and has the required qualifications.

Yuki Tsunoda WENT to uni and dropped out for racing.

Nico Rosberg rejected an offer from Imperial College London to study some sort of engineering.

While not having A-levels (which aren’t even compulsory so idk what Wolff is on about) Lewis Hamilton, Oliver Bearman and George Russell all have their GCSEs. Lando Norris is actually the only current British driver (Including Alex Albon) to NOT have his GCSEs. Pierre Gasly has the Baccalaureate. Charles did whatever they do in Monaco i don’t know. Fernando Alonso and Nico Hulkenberg both finished secondary education. Liam Lawson did education in NZ before moving to Europe. Lance Stroll did his education in Switzerland.

There are actually only 7 drivers who didn’t complete compulsory education. Lando Norris, Max Verstappen, Esteban Ocon, Sergio Perez, Gabriel Borteleto, Franco Colapinto and Isack Hadjar.

68.2% of the current grid completed compulsory education. And then there’s also Nico Rosberg cause i love that guy and wanted to bring him up!
