To all the trans people who see this tonight, no matter what happens, we will survive. Trans people will still be here 4 years from now and 10 years from now and 100 years from now and tomorrow. We have always existed and we always will. The world cannot unlearn about us; we are too public, too loud, too beloved, too present. Ill be here tomorrow. Please stay here with me.

If Kamala wins I post cock

I lost a friend because I want to dye my hair “gay liberal colors” (her words) and it sent her on a homophobic tirade. If that’s not a summary of 2017 idk what is.

Guess who is definitely dying their hair “gay liberal colors” next week?

Someone else she estranged herself from has donated to the cause. 7 colors of the rainbow en route to my house so I can really gay it up.

She is now blaming my queer ass for the country’s deficit, ruining the sanctity of marriage, and threatening to sue me for defamation over this post.

I am about to RUIN CHRISTMAS!

Divided my hair like I’ve divided this country!

Now I’ve gone and done it!

It’s been six gay liberal years…

I mean this in the most polite way it can possibly be interpreted, facebook, but I would rather eat a spoonful of sand right off of the beach.

Look who has circumvented being blocked (again) to send me weird messages:

It’s like being stalked by Michael Myers only instead of getting stabbed to death with a knife, you get called a bunch of slurs. 🔪

Anyway, friendly reminder to never even bother opening messages that abusive people send, however long later, trying to bait you into acknowledging them.

They had their chance! You deserve better.

stop telling your teenage daughters who say they don't want kids that they'll change their mind

reblog the shit outta this

I haven't been a teenager in over a decade. Mind has yet to change on the subject.

So please, please stop telling girls (or really kids at all, but especially girls) that they will change their minds. Please don't tell them that meeting 'the right guy' will make them suddenly feel broody, that their potential future husband's desire to have children will make her reconsider and see things his way. For one, a couple should have had that conversation and decided if it was a deal breaker, LONG before they got hitched. For another, it's her body that gets to grow and birth another human being- her husband's desire to be a father doesn't supercede her autonomy.

Please, let girls make their own choices? Girls are forced to mature too fast as it is and are bombarded from all sides with SHOULD (you SHOULD be a size 2, you SHOULD wear this dress, you SHOULD have a boyfriend to be a normal teen, you SHOULD always smile), they don't need another judgement from someone who hasn't walked a mile in their particular shoes. Respect teenage girls and their ability to look at the world, themselves, their situation, and their future, and make an important choice.

*gets off soap box, slides it back under the sofa, lets out a sigh*

Thanks for attending my TED talk. G'night.

God I love “We’re enemies, but we’ve been enemies for a long time, which is sort of like being friends.” Great trope.

Especially when it comes with a side of “this OTHER enemy isn’t being your enemy in the right way. I will help you defeat them, so that I can go back to being your primary enemy, your correct enemy.”

there is always some kind of crazy bullshit happening to my friend mr spock. spores. mating cycles. amoeba thing. blindness. painful mind melds. brain theft. babygirl has been thru it all

No, but for real. Rhys Darby. Stede Bonnet is not an easy character to play. He's extreme. He's ridiculous. He's sweet. He's kind. He's full of barely suppressed rage. He's generous and loving. He's deeply bitchy. He's incredibly intelligent. His stupidity is mind-boggling. He's unhinged. He has remarkable self-control.

Rhys Darby gets at the depths of a character who could have been obnoxious and pretentious, the butt of the joke, a protagonist we didn't even want to root for. He gives us a Stede who will plausibly ask if the Spaniards about to attack them speak ecclesiastical Latin, and will build a secret other wardrobe in addition to his regular wardrobe, who will convince Blackbeard to go on a treasure hunt and seduce him with the overwhelming force of his sincerity and genuine kindness. He's incandescently gay and has no goddamn idea that he's gay even after Ed kisses him.

Stede Bonnet is hot. He fucks. He was also in a loveless marriage for years, and it takes his own wife explaining to him what love feels like to make him realize he's gay and in love with his best friend.

Rhys Darby plays him with this deep, abiding truth and empathy and care. Stede is never the joke; he's the hero. I cannot imagine another actor hitting all the beats right, getting every joke and mannerism and nuance of emotion, making us fucking cry as he begs Ed to come back, turning into a mermaid, and then an episode later swanning around in a bright red suit like he's baiting an invisible bull. Every shift feels real to the character; there's no discrepancy there, no point where it's as though Stede has become someone different.

I really and truly hope that Rhys gets how amazing his performance is and fully embraces the fact that he's a fantastic actor and that this role has made people's lives better. He's done something really remarkable.

Gonna bring back this post because I do really hope Rhys knows what a fantastic performance he gave.

[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying

“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]

I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware

but!

if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public

it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)

ALSO : 

you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.

south africa was banned in the olympics in 1964, 1968, 1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988 & 1992. a total of 8 times. for 28 years they didn't set foot in the olympics. you know why? apartheid. apparently the olympics disagreed with the apartheid regime in south africa. russia & belarus aren't allowed to take part in the olympics this year. you know why? because of their involvement in the war in ukraine. several countries throughout history haven't been allowed to participate in the olympics because of various reason from their involvement in war to human rights abuses. now if the olympics aren't blind to all that... why in the world are they blind to what israel has been doing to gaza for the past 10 months? why is a genocidal apartheid nation allowed to participate in the olympics when any other country in its place would've been banned?
