Conservatives from the 60s: I can’t watch Star Trek, I don’t want to watch an asian man or a black woman in a professional role on my TV! Damn liberals! I can’t watch a show that promotes integration!

Conservatives in 2017: I can’t watch Star Trek, I don’t want to watch an asian woman captain or a black lead actress on my TV! Damn sjws! I can’t watch a show that promotes racial diversity!

If your Star Trek isn’t offending conservatives, it isn’t doing it right.

DARTH VADER DEATH CULT DARTH VADER DEATH CULT DARTH VADER DEATH CULT DARTH VADER DEATH CULT

meanwhile the officers are like “who is this enormous spooky fucker and WHY DOES HE KEEP STRANGLING US TO DEATH.”

[pomrania]

Imagine stormtroopers painting Vader’s helmet on ships or on armour, wherever they can get away with it.

Imagine stormtroopers praying to Vader as He-Who-Brings-Death and entreating him to pass them by; at first in jest, but who knows what’s serious any more when half your unit is dead and you only barely survived.

Imagine stormtroopers swearing “May Vader take your soul!”

Imagine stormtroopers hearing of Vader, then seeing him in person, and being held back by their fellows, from kneeling in front of him.

Seriously, I am 100% here for “stormtroopers worshipping Vader as a god of death”.

Tomboy Swimwear: Tops and Boardshorts

This is a short novel about struggling to find that perfect ‘tomboy’ swimsuit. Just kidding! About the novel– not the struggling part. All the clothes mentioned are linked to an online shop in case you want to grab 'em right away!

Tomboys and women’s swimwear. An oxymoron? Feels like it. Women’s mainstream swimwear seems to go against what we like wearing, and feel comfortable in (what’s with that extra string? this will totally fall off if I do a cannonball). Firstly I have to say that I’ve seen tomboys/ butch-identifying women completely love and embrace wearing bikinis/ other feminine swimwear; I’m not saying tomboys don’t. But I am aware that a lot of tomboys, including me, prefer not to, and struggle to find alternatives to feminine swimwear that is still sold in the women’s section. Specifically, today I’m talking about the top + short combo, because it’s simple and comfortable for all swimming occasions–beach, pool, athletics, etc. 

Let’s start off with the types of swimwear available in the women’s section. here’s a screenshot I took from Kohl’s website:

As you can see, the most appealing in terms of tomboy style seem to be athletic, tankini, rash-guards, shorts, and one-pieces. Personally, I’m a fan of matching an athletic top with women’s board shorts (shorter and more form-fitting than men’s) Example of this simple combo:

1. Athletic bra/swim top by Nike, 2. Loose boardshort by Adidas, 3. Fitting boardshort by Hurley. 

My other favorite picks of tops and shorts: 1, 2, 3

Zappos.com is a good place to start browsing for stylish boardshorts. From there, you can look at swim/surf/skate brands like Volcom and Hurley, also personal favorites. Surprisingly, Adidas and Nike don’t have a lot of tomboy style swimwear on their websites, but you can find them elsewhere.

Alternative types of tops:

1. Long-sleeved rashguard by Tommy Bahama, 2. Short-sleeved rashguard by Body Glove, 3. Tankini by Nautica, 4. Striped tankini by Nautica.  And saving the best for last… I introduce you to Marimacho swimwear!! Swimwear for bois, tomboys, genderqueer fashion, and so on. I can go on about how much I like their mission, but you should check them out for yourself. Peek of their outfit:

Hope this gave you motivation to look for that right tomboy swimwear for you. While researching I’ve also found an outfit that I like and feel comfortable in–yay! Let me know if you particularly enjoyed this post/ if you know of any brands that cater to tomboy swimwear!

ITS BACK MY FAVORITE POST ON THIS FUCKING SITE IS BACK

[liberal-lesbophobia-deactivated]

Listen I know I don’t usually focus on a single person as opposed to an article/media platform, but Noah Michelson is literally THE EDITOR for huffington post lgbt content (ahem, *queer). 

This guy claims that the “queer umbrella” includes any “non-normative” experience of sex (and explicitly includes fetishes), retweets about how Straight Kinksters are “queerer” than homonormative gays, and prioritized the feelings of cishets who sexualize infants over the concerns of lgbt people

So yeah, calling for the person who runs the huffpostqueer twitter to be fired, for the guy who wrote the abdl article to be fired - it’s just not gonna happen. He’s it. He’s the main guy.

@everyone who says that Thomas Jefferson wasn't racist bc he had kids with

[ironfoxe]

say it with me, one more time: queer is not an umbrella term. queer cannot be applied to the entire LGBT community. queer is not a substitute word for “gay” or “lesbian”.

queer is a SLUR that SOME people have reclaimed FOR THEMSELVES and when you apply it to everyone without their consent or use it as a blanket-term for every non-hetero person, you are being an asshole. you cannot force someone to reclaim a slur and you cannot call the entire community by a slur. and when you call it “the queer community” or refer to LGBT individuals as “queers”, you are excluding anyone who doesn’t want to be lumped in under a hate word they might not be comfortable with at all. don’t do this.

Straight girls love to pretend like they can be intimate with other girls without things being weird as if their behavior doesn’t literally rely on the assumption that the other girls they’re being intimate with are straight too. As if as soon as they find out a girl is attracted to other girls they don’t completely change their behavior and refuse to be anywhere near them. As if their refusal to invite sapphic girls to sleepovers or to get dressed in the locker room near them isn’t an even bigger “no homo” than actually saying it would be.

[taavot-deactivated20170404]

once straight girls learn of ur sexuality, platonic physical affection that was status quo from both parties before (arm linking, hair braiding, hugging or sleeping in the same bed on a sleepover) becomes taboo to them. they think it’s ok for them to sexualize every one of their lesbian/bi friends’ actions without consent. in my experience, physically affectionate friendship is fine and normal between me and my straight friends - until they find out I like girls. then every time I come anywhere near them I get sexualized jokes like “omg I didn’t know you were into me that way”, “do you secretly want to have sex with me, Avi?”, or critical attacks like “can you stop acting like I’m gonna go lesbian for you? it’s creepy” - all this over friendly gestures that were no big deal before my sexuality was made public. it’s made me feel disgusting from a young age to go near any girl even with no romantic context.

some straight ppl who wanna act like they’re good and not homophobic in this regard will say that touching between gay/bi women and their straight friends is alright, but only “as long as you’re 200% sure you’re not attracted to them” even though that logic is also super harsh?? tons of straight girls have friendships with their unrequited guy crushes and are still close enough to hug or jokingly touch or be affectionate and they aren’t deemed predatory for it. I remember having a crush on a straight friend in middle school and I knew it was unrequited so I never tried to act on it, I just continued to interact with her in normal friendship ways (which for us included things like linking arms and hair braiding, but since I knew she didn’t know about or return my feelings I never sexualized it in my head at all), and when I confided in my other (also straight) friend about my feelings for this person she yelled at me and said that if I knew she was straight I should never touch her again because that’s creepy and invasive. the next time the girl I liked asked me to braid her hair or wanted to link arms with me I teared up and pushed her away. 

there’s just no forgiveness for young lesbians and bi women for normal things. having platonic female friends apparently unacceptable because that’s “not possible”, but when we do end up with unrequited feelings for a close friend, which is completely normal, it’s framed as though we did it on purpose and were intentionally sexualizing that friend, and we’re then expected to atone for that attraction by making ourselves completely physically inaccessible and separate from that friend so there’s no question that we aren’t “being creepy”. put up a wall and be paranoid to ever touch them again in any way. unrequited crush on a straight friend = you’re never supposed to come in any physical contact with that straight friend again or else you’re a predator and sexualizing her and you’re gonna be talked about that way behind your back or to your face. and to add insult to injury straight women speak on this as though friendships between young lesbian/bi girls and straight ones primarily harm the straight girls involved, when in reality it’s the mental health of the lesbian/bi girls involved that is ultimately damaged.

[lesmiserablesbians]

And even if you do manage to have a physically affectionate female friendship, people around you will constantly portray it in a sexual light, making both of you and your straight friend uncomfortable.
