in absolute tears about the pride module at my work
HOLY SHIT GUYS, I WAS INSPIRED BY THIS POST TO TRY MAKE THE SONG AND YOU WOULD NOT BELIEVE THE SCREAM I SCRUMPT WHEN I DRAGGED THE TRAINING AUDIO OVER THE BACKING TRACK AND IT LINED UP PERFECTLY
The slur songSLRSLR
Tempted to actually put this on spotify so I can secretly stream it at work…
Tagging @batshit-auspol because as an Australian you’re the only big account I know who might share (sorry).
I would like all Americans (and everyone else) who are excited for the Superbowl to know: Before the actual Superbowl there’s a live tournament on TV, here in Germany, called “American Ice Football”.
It is exactly what it sounds like: American Football but played on Ice, in shoes with entirely smooth soles.
It’s a tournament with 4 teams and they are called Eastside Ossis, Westside Wessis, Northcoast Naughties and Southside Smoothies and it’s just hilariously entertaining.
Here’s a video to show you how stupid it looks:
Also the players (who are all german celebs or pro athletes from other sports) and the commentator barely know the rules, which makes it even better.
Quite a few of them have little notes taped to their arms to remember the rules or next plays.
This is high quality entertainment.
If anyone cares: The Westside Wessis won the finale haha
Fun fact: this scene is a direct reference to a pretty common joke in Regency-era erotic cartoons:
Historically, English women did not wear any version of underwear under their dresses until the very late 1800s (unless they were menstruating). When dresses slimmed way down during the Regency era’s neoclassical movement, skirts became much easier to fully lift – apparently leading to many women warming their bare skin in this way.

[Strange metal clinks, like the sound of metal being hit by a hammer, or being hit with other pieces of metal in general, accompany each footstep, along with the general sound of metal rubbing over other pieces of metal. The room’s acoustics make it all sound hollow though, like a far off echo.]
Okay so for anyone who doesn’t know what this room is, this is the Memory Void, and it’s in the Jewish Museum in Berlin, Germany. This installation is actually something you’re SUPPOSED to walk on. That’s half the point of the installation. Each metal face is meant to represent the faces and voices that were silenced by the atrocities of the concentration camps in World War 2. Stepping on them and making them sound out is meant to give the voiceless a voice, to force us to remember them.
I’ve walked on this, it’s an eerie experience.
I can’t help but notice it sounds a little bit like how a train’s wheels clank over rails.
