Every time some flannel-wearing old man dies and all his good clothes get dumped to a thrift shop, it's like a whalefall for the local masc-presenting thrift-shoppers.

AITA for not telling my fiancé I know he’s queer? 

I 20s (F) have a 20s (M) fiancé, V, and he’s been talking about this terrible secret he cannot tell me and he keeps almost starting to come out and then backing out. The issue is V and I were raised together by his parents, and my surrogate 40s (M) father and (now deceased) surrogate mother arranged for our marriage back when we were both children. They thought it was the best for us and at the time we were too young to realize the implications and had no reason to reject to the match. When we were teenagers our mother was on her deathbed and she told us again that she wished for us to marry, and of course we both agreed. However, V is also best friends with a 20s (M) guy called H, and they were nearly inseparable as boys and teens. They also went to university together and shared an apartment but V had to come home due to family reasons. Lately he’s been going out all day and coming home at night hours later. He insists that he’s fine and that we all leave him alone and not worry for him, but I think he and H have been sneaking around. He even delayed our wedding day by arranging a trip to go to England alone with H. It’s exhausting for all of us and I think I should just tell V I know and support him and that we can call off the marriage, but I’m not sure that’s the best course of action? I’m completely fine with not marrying him - he always felt more like a brother to me anyway - but I worry it might come off wrong. The worst part is he’s really beating himself up about it. He’s so guilty it’s beginning to take a toll on his health. I don’t care if he has a boyfriend I just want him to be happy.

im inventing a new bechdel test that you can only pass if your movie has two butches alone together smoking and maybe one of them grabs the other by the belt loops and then one of them puts a cigarette out on the other and then they start making out against a truck and maybe there's a little bit of teeth and tracy chapman is playing on the radio and we can hear them breathing and cut to black. or not. maybe not cut to black. i will leave that up to you but remember there is a right answer

Leslie Feinberg | Anti-war Rally | Washington DC | 26th October 2002

The group A.N.S.W.E.R. (Act Now to End War and Racism) sponsored a rally at the Vietnam Veterans' Memorial to protest the Bush administration and its foreign policy in Iraq. Over 100,000 people took part in a protest in Washington and 50,000 people took part in a demonstration in San Francisco

[lixuii]

Transcript:

35 years ago, an activist handed me a leaflet for an anti-Vietnam War protest, and I thought, "What can I do about it? I'm a teenaged, gay, factory worker. I have no power in this society." Well, I was wrong. Behold, the power of the people!

[applause]

It's not just our huge numbers today that makes us powerful, it's our unity. It's that we're Muslims and Jews together. We're women and men together. We're gay and straight together! We are-

[pause, applause continues]

We are able-bodied and disabled together. We are older generations who know a lot, but not everything - and youth, who have a lot to learn, and a lot to teach.

[applause]

Solidarity - Solidarity is what cements us together. It's our strength - and Bush and Ashcroft know that too. That's why they'll try to divide us, to pit us against each other. The way McCarthy in the 1950's used red-baiting, and gay-baiting, and antisemitism during the 1950's anti-communist witch hunt. The way Nixon and the FBI unleashed a dirty war to break up the movement in the 1960's and 1970's. So here is my pledge for unity! As a US anti-war activist, I stand up for the people of Iraq against the Pentagon.

[applause]

As a Jewish revolutionary, I continue to fight for Palestinian freedom.

[applause continues, louder]

Zionism is my enemy, too! As a leader in the lesbian, gay, bi, and trans movement, I stand shoulder to shoulder with my Muslim, Arab, and south Asian sisters and brothers against Ashcroft's racist roundups and trampling of civil liberties. As a militant trade unionist, I stand with my longshore sisters and brothers against Bush.

[pause, as applauding continues in background]

Bush wants to use to his weapons of mass distraction, to divert us from the capitalist economic crisis. He doesn't want us to realize that we're the ones that do the work of the world everyday, and we have the power to stop work and shut down the system to halt the war - so I end! Now it's your turn - all of you here! And the millions who are watching around the world- will we stand up for unity?

[the crowd shouts "Yes!" in response]

Then behold, the emerging power of the people!

[applause, end transcript]

[suddenrundown]

i have a very specific problem, which is that i thought a league of their own and yellowjackets were the same show. they are not.

[suddenrundown]

i dont know, maybe i saw “yellowjackets” and thought “oh yes, the name of the lesbian’s baseball team…why are they eating people.”

[suddenrundown]
