This is my absolute favorite panel from Alison Bechdel’s Fun Home. This is the exact feeling I have when seeing other LGBT+ and gnc people out in the world. And needless to say, ‘Ring of Keys’ in the musical makes me bawl. I know you.
I always wondered why the Western Zodiac and the Chinese Zodiac were both called zodiacs if one was associated w astronomy and the other w time in general. Like what defines a zodiac that the word is only used to describe these two things? Looking up the word “zodiac” in the dictionary didnt help bc it only talked about the western one.
Well, I decided to look up the etymology for zodiac and it turns out it comes from the Greek for “circle of little animals.” I love humans
was unwilling to accept this outright so i checked etymonline and, truly:
showed this to my manager and he said “are you making fun of boomers” and i was like no im making fun of poisoning people with anthrax and he went “oh shit”
