‘cause paying a cover charge sucks
and then there’s apparently some J.A.C.K. get-together tomorrow, too?
So make good choices tonight, everyone!
and by that I mean don’t tag the pictures on Facebook tomorrow.
Happy New Year, everyone!

Why?
“Because if Harry Potter taught us anything, it’s that nobody deserves to live in a closet.”
Shouldn’t have started a new thing like this, not so close to the end of the semester. Bye ‘til about 10pm on the 22nd.

political viewpoints as fact
I’m reading the Vietnam page on the U.S. State Department website right now for a class project. It is a starting point for info on Vietnamese history, much like Wikipedia - except that the State Dept has more credibility and no links to outside sources.
Information about the country is presented as just that: information. Fact. Truth.
But I’ve noticed some subtle and a few...
Why Tom Brokaw Is Wrong on Covering Antigay... →
pansexualpride:
I bookmarked an article in the Advocate earlier this week wherein former NBC Nightly News anchor Tom Brokaw basically said it was fine to continue to air the views of hate groups like American Family Association and Family Research Council.
As is typical of the mainstream news media, Brokaw blathered about free speech, etc., as an excuse for not monitoring what lies and...

I was super-nervous about this when we started the chapter on relationships in Spanish. Damn the way they gender everything. The only way out is to say “mi pareja” which is “my partner,” but that sounds more serious and...

HEY, YOU! YES, YOU!
Recommend me books to read over winter break, especially anything LGBTQ, feminist, or graphic novel. Fiction preferred. [eta: you can submit your recs via the “ask me” button thingymajigger]

American Gods by Neil Gaiman (another fav)

I'm a homosexual. We lick everything.

LGBT Group Helps Deliver Gender-Neutral Housing to... →
pansexualpride:
This is pretty awesome. George Washington University is set to offer gender-neutral housing in all of its residence halls, with the exception of three. It isn’t the first time that a university has offered this option, but it is usually not an available choice for underclassmen. About 50 universities currently offer some sort of gender-neutral housing.
The LGBT student...
My body’s like,
“I think you’re 21 and you’re an idiot. You took a roofie from a priest. Look at your life. Look at your choices.”
microaggressions:
Older co-worker: How can you be the president of the PRIDE club, aren’t you straight? Me: I’m not. Older co-worker: Not the president? Me: I’m not straight. Older co-worker: No…. You’re straight, you have a boyfriend!
Made me feel upset and ignored. Why wouldn’t I know my own sexuality?
It’s ‘cause bisexuals are unicorns, doncha know.

This is from a youth theatre workshop I was in a few years back, and for some reason I thought of this monologue today.
Last night
…was not so much hot, but definitely mess. Lordy. That was honestly embarassing. Pregaming + wop = bad life decision.
This is why I'm a feminist. →

So I just spent a slightly embarassing amount of time trying to find the perfect theme to use. It was tough because I wanted something more fun, and from perusing the themes, I got the feeling that Tumblr isn’t so much about fun as about being pretentious.
I get the feeling Tumblr is much loved by hipsters. Bugger.
