Queer is the label we used when we weren’t sure. Queer is the label we used when we were sure no other label would do. Queer is a gender that is my own and only my own. Queer is a sexuality that defies definition. 

Queer is the label which became genderqueer, and from which non-binary and genderfluid sprung. Queer is the label which is the un-box, in which everyone who is not cishet (including ace people!!) fits. Queer is community.

Queer is activist. Queer is in the streets screaming ‘we’re here, we’re queer, get used to it!’ Queer is not ashamed.

Queer was ours from the beginning. Queer was ours a century ago. Queer was used against us, and we said ‘fuck you,’ and we took it BACK. Queer is butches and bears with bats, protecting our community.

Queer is blue-collar. Queer is working-class. Queer is poor. Queer is people who can’t afford to sit out Stonewall quietly and then go fight for marriage equality when the tax bills come due. Queer is a distinct identity, and queer is the un-box.

Queer makes TERFs and exclusionists angry, because it doesn’t let them define people by gold stars and terms like 'SGA’ that come from conversion therapy. Queer doesn’t give a shit about historical revision to exclude members of the community who have always been here, because queer has always been here and always will be.

Queer is the life raft onto which we climb. Queer is community. Queer is important, and people will have to pry it from my cold dead hands. I’ve been queer for thirty years. My community is queer, and it is opt-in.

If you tag my fucking posts ‘q slur’ or any variant thereof I will immediately fucking block you. Don’t fucking do it. If you feel obligated to tag my posts ‘q slur,’ don’t interact with them. My identity is not a bad word and does not require censoring.

Were I in love, it would be a different thing, but I’ve never been in love - it is not my way, or my nature - and I don’t think I ever shall.

DID I JUST GET FUCKING KISSED BY thE MOST ADORABLE FUCKING POKEMON IN EXISTENCe?

[game84cube]

If you don’t have a Pikachu kissing you on your blog, then what blog are you running?

[officiallalexgaskarth-deactivat]

Not a very good one obviously.

[darlingsterns]

i’m watching an art theft documentary and they’re interviewing this art history professor from new york who was asked to go with the fbi to authenticate a rubens that had been stolen but it was a sting operation so they had to pretend like they weren’t the fbi, that they were some private buyer about to pay $3.5 million for it, and the fbi was like “this is a VERY delicate operation because you never know how they will react to what you have to say so let the agent do all of the talking, don’t say a word to anyone just nod if it’s the rubens, the last operation we did the guy in your position got shot because things went wrong in a second” and then it cuts to the professor’s interview and he says “i wasn’t going to fly down to miami to be a part of an undercover fbi sting operation to handle what could be rubens’s aurora and just NOT say anything. i was gonna have to ad lib a little” and then he tells the interviewer that when he & the fbi agent got to the hotel while he was examining the painting he started lecturing the other people, first on how badly they had wrapped it, and then about like how it had been painted, the history of it, what the subject was and what she was doing, etc etc, and he was like “i hadn’t taught a class on rubens in 15 years, so for me it was like being back in the classroom except my students couldn’t leave” 

[darlingsterns]

at one point during the deal the professor turned to the woman selling it and he said “isn’t this just the most beautiful rubens you’ve ever seen outside of a museum?” (because the fbi had told him earlier that this piece had been stolen from a museum) and THEN he said “where on earth did you get it from?” and the group of people the woman had with her was like taxidermy-fox.png but the woman was like “inheritance” can you IMAGINE the fbi agent about to have a fucking aneurysm when this random guy you’ve brought in just to nod if it’s the right painting not only starts giving an impromptu lecture but then he asks how they got it

SNL Weekend Update: May 18th 2019, Leslie Jones on the new abortion laws

[just-shower-thoughts]

“Guy that puts you to sleep and messes with your internal organs” is a creepy way to describe a surgeon.

[luismyname]

Ick. That’s creepy thing to read after my appendix surgery.

[one-time-i-dreamt]

Found this horrifying story on Twitter just now.

LaBlaq, the final Fantastic. on Twitter

“Men are absolutely horrifying creatures. I pray this sister sees this and flees. Immediately.”

Sincerely hoping she will see it and recognize herself and will

And the fact he still insists he was doing it for her own good! In what way?!?!?! How was that for her own good? Huh??? How?! Selfish prick.

[iwilleatyourenglish]

this man is literally abusive. he is putting things in her body without her knowledge and consent.

if he wanted to eat like a fucking toddler, he could cook for his own damn self, but he’s human garbage who would rather betray the woman he claims to love do shit himself

[agent-fun]

Oh my god if he didn’t like her cooking he could have cooked his own dinner. He was probably just too lazy so he thought betraying his girlfriends trust and changing things about her body without her consent was more convenient for him which lets you know what a dumpster fire of a person he is. “I did it for her own good” what a sociopath. I wish I could tell her he disrespected her body, her morals, her intelligence and poisoned her. Where does he get off trying to discipline her like she’s a toddler who doesn’t want to eat her broccoli? He fucking needs to learn respect. She is an adult and the way he thinks of her is degrading. He is an abuser.

Her boyfriend doesnt repect her and women in general. I hope she fucking dumps him and never speaks to him ever again.

[blackswallowtailbutterfly]

How on earth does he think he was doing it for her own good? How in the fuck does that even compute?

She was vegan before they met. He knew exactly what he was getting into. If he couldn’t be bothered to cook his own meals and wasn’t going to be satisfied with a vegan diet, he shouldn’t have fucking dated her. But no. A man sees a woman he finds attractive and nothing else matters. If something about her personality or life choices annoys him, he’ll simply abuse her until it changes.

[ms-hells-bells]

reason 36588535 why i don’t date men. i have to worry, as a vegan, that they’ll think it’s “funny” or “proving a point” to trick me into eating animal products. my male relatives have already tried that shit but i clocked it.

[ms-hells-bells]

this comment sums it up perfectly

[just-shower-thoughts]

Someone in your life has likely had a sexual thought about you, wanted or unwanted at one point

[luismyname]

Oh my.. I’m blushing. But also eww.

[just-shower-thoughts]

There’s a high chance one of our ancestors were gay and were forced to get married and have kids because of the strict rules pre 1900

Theatre Tips and Tricks:

Doors!

More accurately, how to keep doors where you want them:

So you’ve got a set, and it has a Door. But. Your stage isn’t level, or your flat isn’t square, or there’s a strong airflow current or any number of things. And the door just won’t stay Shut/Open/Ajar/In Place.

Paint brushes!

As you can see in the photo above, paint brushes secured to the back of the bottom corner of a door will work like a movable wedge.

They’re flexible enough to slide against the floor when an actor moves the door intentionally, but if secured properly, will provide resistance against whatever gravitational or structural forces might conspire to swing the door when unattended.

For example:

This door wants to swing towards me, which has pushed the brush back as it attempts to settle. The pressure of the bristle mass, however, are gripping against the riser and pinning the door in place.

You can increase or decrease the ‘hold’ by moving the brush up or down the door panel.

And it’s virtually undetectable from the front.

Just a tiny blob in the bottom corner of the door.

Hope that helps!

Remember this the next time you want to complain about GMO’s, we may not have done it in a lab but they still are that.

[art-angelsz-deactivated20170721]

Bananas looked like lemons wtf

[thatsmidnight]

Isn’t this more of a combination of selective breeding and GMOs? Not just GMOs?

[thespectacularspider-girl]

Yes.  But people talk about how GMO’s are “unnatural”, yet for centuries humanity has been exploiting mutations in animals and plants to produce food for themselves.

GMO’s are simply the process of inducing these mutations reliably.

People hear “Lettuce being modified with scorpion DNA” and think that we’re now eating scorpions.  But, in reality, they’re taking a tiny bit of scorpion DNA and splicing it into the plant.  Why?  So the plant will produce poison that is not harmful to humans but will deter insects, reducing the use of pesticide, which CAN be harmful to humans and the environment.

GMOs are producing rice that can survive flooding, which makes rice more reliable yields and will prevent food shortages in poor nations that rely on said crops for staple food.

GMOs are also creating spider-goat hybrids.  Why? So we can splice web production into the goat’s udders.  We’ll be able to spin huge quantities of spider silk, enough to reliably create spider silk cables and ropes, which have more tensile strength than steel.

[drewbern]

I for one am glad I live in a time where watermelons aren’t giant tomato abominations

[writingaboutmyrapists]

The issue with GMOs is that corporations like Monsanto are patenting GMOs and arresting indigenous farmers for cross pollinating with they seeds. But there is nothing dangerous about the science.

[wordnerdworld]

^This.

The problem isn’t the science, it’s what capitalism does with that science.

[afishtrap]

this should be in the largest letters we’ve got, plastered everywhere until it gets through people’s heads:

The problem isn’t the science, it’s what capitalism does with that science.

Did you just say spider goats? He said spider goats. Did you all read him talking about spider goats or am I hallucinating
