this and that. @makastuey - Tumblr Blog

tonight i did a show where a bunch of men kept telling me to quiet down and made it a joke to yell about my microphone being too loud. of course their bits and nonsense was dragging out the entire show which was annoying for a lot of the rest of us. no one would call them out on it. by the end of the show they were just ignoring the script and beckoned me on to do my last line and i was like “oh sorry, didn’t know it was my line because its been a lot of long bits. don’t worry i know i sound different now because my friends told me how to adjust my audio settings after a room full of men yelled at me.” to which one guy kept saying “its not always about gender, its not always about gender” i mean.. i’m pretty sure i just stated a fact but whatever. then i flipped them off with a smile and got off camera. but wow. i am riled. the. fuck. up.

telling women to be quiet as a “joke” isn’t funny. it is about gender. it is harder for one women to stand up against a group of 6 men all ragging on her to quiet down. and after the show ended multiple women reached out to say they had my back and were really glad i called out their nonsense.

its really hard to know if i’m being passed over because i’m not talented, or if i’m being passed over because i’m being put in a tiny boxy. its hard to know if anything i think about myself is real, or if its just bullshit in my head.

i’ve put so much into this silly sketch team for a year and a half and i’m not sure i’ve gotten anything out of it. my soul feels sucked dry and i’m so sad and disappointed.

i’ve been told you shouldn’t be on teams or hang out with people who make you feel like you’re not funny. how do you do that when you’re on a “house team” and that holds more status and you have no say over anything.

I’m writing this post about the upcoming midterm elections on November 6th, in which I’ll be voting in the state of Tennessee. In the past I’ve been reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions, but due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now. I always have and always will cast my vote based on which candidate will protect and fight for the human rights I believe we all deserve in this country. I believe in the fight for LGBTQ rights, and that any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG. I believe that the systemic racism we still see in this country towards people of color is terrifying, sickening and prevalent.

I cannot vote for someone who will not be willing to fight for dignity for ALL Americans, no matter their skin color, gender or who they love. Running for Senate in the state of Tennessee is a woman named Marsha Blackburn. As much as I have in the past and would like to continue voting for women in office, I cannot support Marsha Blackburn. Her voting record in Congress appalls and terrifies me. She voted against equal pay for women. She voted against the Reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, which attempts to protect women from domestic violence, stalking, and date rape. She believes businesses have a right to refuse service to gay couples. She also believes they should not have the right to marry. These are not MY Tennessee values. I will be voting for Phil Bredesen for Senate and Jim Cooper for House of Representatives. Please, please educate yourself on the candidates running in your state and vote based on who most closely represents your values. For a lot of us, we may never find a candidate or party with whom we agree 100% on every issue, but we have to vote anyway.

So many intelligent, thoughtful, self-possessed people have turned 18 in the past two years and now have the right and privilege to make their vote count. But first you need to register, which is quick and easy to do. October 9th is the LAST DAY to register to vote in the state of TN. Go to vote.org and you can find all the info. Happy Voting! 🗳😃🌈

I wish you wouldn’t crush every thing I say. Sometimes it feels like you’re setting me up to tear me down and I don’t understand.
