â40 is good, 50 is great, 60 is fab, and 70 is fucking awesome!â ~ Helen Mirren đȘđ»
missed some greats!
I canât believe Julie Andrews is not on this list guys.
âItâs fucking outrageous. Itâs ridiculous. And âtwas ever thus. We all watched James Bond as he got more and more geriatric, and his girlfriends got younger and younger. Itâs so annoying.â – Helen Mirren on the bullshit that is (sexist) ageism (source)
Whenever you need a positive role model to help you remember that aging is NATURAL, aging is BEAUTIFUL, there is NOTHING WRONG with aging, and if youâre LUCKY will you live long enough to experience it â look long and hard at every single one of these these Queens.
LOOK. AT. THEM.Â
Go ladies!

Many women have talked about how amazing life is after your 40s. Some have their happiest years in their 70s. We need to stop believing society when it tells us our lives are over when we reach 35.
I turned 50 this year and itâs been my best year ever.
As a fandom grandma and the author of âarchive your fandom stuffâ, Iâm exhausted and cross. Torn between âfine, Tumblr, I never liked youâ and âbutâŠbutâŠTumblr friends!!!â Tumblr was never meant to work, but we made it work. Even though we did, it was never truly ours. So here we are.
Thank you to the people who have gone out there to make fandom spaces – even when others werenât very excited or appreciative. AO3. Dreamwidth. Pillowfort. Independent archives and discussion boards.
Thank you to the creators who filled Tumblr with the content that kept us here, brought us together. And to all the tricksters filling up my feed with dunes, noods, classical art, and every possible variety of nipple presentation.
I want to say thank you to the people who are creating positive spaces for discussion of free sexual expression. But do you know how few of these there are? This keeps getting shut down and blocked everywhere. Thatâs part of why this censorship on Tumblr is a big deal.
For young people, I really recommend the sex and gender education site Scarleteen: cutting-edge information and forums. Any other recommendations are welcome.
The Netherlands democratically puts a list of the 2000 best songs together every year around New Yearâs and the biggest mystery every time is whether Bohemian Rhapsody wins again
iâm serious, if it doesnât win, itâs second place
every winner before 2005 is Bohemian Rhapsody as well
why arent we talking about the constant presence of hotel california
