No harm to any religion. It’s just a lamp ads by an Australian company. However, it’s funny!

QUESTION FOR MEZZOS: In the line "n'acqui all'affanno e al pianto," do you personally sing "e" on the A or the G#? No judgement, just curious. ❤ (Swipe to see the phrase I'm talking about.) #opera #mezzo #rossini #cenerentola #detailoriented #italian #belcanto #operasinger #operasingers #question #details #mezzos

I made a thing -- my own recipe -- and it's so delicious!!! 😍😍😍😍😍 Yams with maple syrup, coconut milk, cinnamon, and cayenne pepper poured over them, topped with bread crumbs. Yams take forking forever to bake, but this is SO WORTH IT. #yams #cooking #recipe #wingingit #coconutmilk #cayenne #cinnamon #breadcrumbs #delicious #yummy #foodie #gourmand #homecooking #madeitmyself #casserole #gratin #baking #ovenbaked

You know, one thing i like about Mulan is how Yao, Ling and Chien Po don’t really seem to care about the fact that Mulan is a girl.

I mean, when they find out, they are visibly perplexed

But even so, they rush and try to help her when she’s about to get killed

After this, they all seem quite depressed about having to leave her behind (and when Shang ignores her)

And when she shows up and takes action, they gladly follow her lead

And they even rock some crossdressing, like she did

(btw they just missed a great opportunity to make Shang crossdress here, shame on you movie)

Honestly, i just think this needs more appreciation. Because to them, Mulan didn’t have to prove herself again, just because she is a girl. She already earned their friendship and respect when she was ‘Ping’, and that was enough.

Still relevant

Some people say performers live for the applause. Me, I live for making people sob. And/or laugh until they pee a little.

Also opera: Lol let’s crossdress and get drunk.
