The Awkward and Inimitable Chelsea

Cultural Studies PhD student--focus on identity, power dynamics and discourse in human rights movements, and LGBTQ representation in media. Too much of post-structuralist queer feminist for polite company. She/her pronouns.

It’s my favorite thing when a lesbian is just like “I got extra fries with my meal, gay rights” or an enby is like “wow trans rights I just got a free gift card to the movies” or a bi dude is like “finally found a plant that won’t die, queer rights I guess.” Like that is the funniest shit I don’t care.

Even better than its negative counterpart, “it’s raining, this is homophobic,” or “real transphobia is that I can’t get past this level.”

This may be because I'm a homosexual, but I would very much like to learn how to fight with a sword.

Side note on this: all those college conservatives saying liberal professors are shutting them down because of their conservative ideas and refusing to hear otherwise? In my experience the “shut down” is just being asked to DEFEND their position for the first time and not accepting shitty half thought out “proofs” that fall apart on their own.

You can identify a fake redneck by their passionate support of “blue lives matter.” Real rednecks have been in at least one physical fight and/or high-speed chase with police officers and would do it again

“redneck” is a valid culture, not a euphemism for “bigot”

[castironjackelope]

So this has probably already been said on this post but I dont wanna scroll through 66k notes to find it.

The term Redneck gain prominence with striking coal miners in Appalachia. They wore red bandanas around their necks to express union solidarity.

And they fucking FOUGHT police and Pinkerton strike breaker forces. It was a period called The Coal Wars.

The poor and working classes have a long history of community support and rejecting police authority.

If you’re pro-cop, you’re not a redneck, you’re a bootlicker who based your personality on a played out Jeff Foxworthy caricature. Get bent. Your ancestors are ashamed of you.

Have ya ever been high and bored and gotten the urge to out your kinks on tumblr just to see the reaction/how many followers you lose or maybe gain 🤷‍♀️but then you remember that of all your followers, there are two that know you irl (who don't already know your kinks) and a small handful of people you've never met and probably never will but still weirdly value their opinion of you?
