Goodbye, losers!
And by "goodbye" I mean "I'm moving back in with my parents for the summer and those fuckers live so deep in the woods that they're still on dial-up."
Stay fabulous, my fluffy ducklings! I'll see you in the fall!
Warren Evans, an openly bisexual student at Calvert High School, was suspended for wearing a skirt, [allegedly] violating the school’s dress code.
Evans says the school is discriminating against him and does not believe he violated any dress code.
“I don’t think so. Why not? It didn’t say anywhere in the code of conduct or dress code that says boys can’t dress like girls,” Evans commented.
The school district’s dress code policy states schools can regulate dress or even hair lengths.
Students at the school told News4’s Shomari Stone that female students wear skirts of the same length that Evans wore, but they were not suspended.
School officials will not comment on the suspension. They did say the dress code applies to all students, regardless of gender.
Public schools being used for taxpayer-sponsored gender policing. Just warms your heart, don’t it?
Clearly, all those teachers and administrators and shit were just jealous that he was the most stylish motherfucker in the whole damn district.
Seriously, though, I still don't get why society makes such a big deal out of this shit. To the point of creating and enforcing harsh, life-ruining environments for young people. Who's he hurting? I mean, really, who's the victim here?
And if you say "the student body" is at risk, just because one guy is wearing a skirt, that the one guy in the skirt could do more harm to the crowd than the crowd could do to him, you clearly were never the "weird kid" in high school.

I needed this on my blog. The best response to anon hate I have ever read.
Queer (English Version) Alright friends, I got the English version online! I just wanted the first day’s worth of hits to go straight to Projet 17 mai, since they’re the ones who asked me to contribute, y’know? /:)
DISCLAIMER: Since this comic is addressing sexual identity, I only included sexualities under the Queer umbrella— although, obviously, queer also encompasses many gender identities as well.
As I said in my post debuting the French version,
Projet 17 mai contacted me several months ago about creating a comic on the theme of homophobia, and though it is definitely something I’ve experienced (being denied service in shops, having people throw garbage, being followed by howling gangs of men, etc. just for holding my girlfriend’s hand), I actually have been more hurt and upset by the biphobia I’ve experienced from the LGBT “community” for falling in love with and marrying a cisgender man. Even bisexuals have been needlessly mean because I feel the term “queer” is a better fit for me instead of “bi” (it’s totally cool if “bisexual” is the term that works for you!! It’s just not the one for me). Basically, the Identity Police have been very hurtful to me (and others who are attracted to multiple genders), so that’s what I did my comic on.
The English version of that comic I posted earlier.
can i just say that
this magnificent moment
is my favorite
And done! So this is my attempt at a steampunk Indian character. I was irritated into it by bad depictions of Western-aesthetic-pretty Indian Girlies in fake saris. Her hair is partly “inspired” by the Indian-rapunzels, because like Battameez, I cannot imagine an Indian woman with that much hair left unbraided.
I’ve tentatively named her Amrita Bai, but that’s probably not period-accurate so it’s subject to change as I do more research. Her family’s from Tamilnadu, & are Vishwakarma caste (specifically metalsmiths, I assume), but they moved to one of the forts under Shivaji’s control, and she’s training under a mechanical artificer there. — All subject to change as I do more research. (Plz do tell me if this is faily somehow…)
Real saris are hard. And group-specific; this is a Tamil-brahmin 9-yard sari, and probably not quite period accurate but I’m not sure how it’d be different. No blouse, because this is from my no-British-Raj alternate India. I haven’t actually worn a 9-yard sari myself, so I’m not at all sure I have the folds right on this one. But I did get input from my mother, who has.
Anyway ya know what’s not hard? Making her skin dark. I find that dark skin is so much easier to get looking human rather than zombie than pale skin is, so extra wtf to those whitewashers who say it’s haaaard.
And now I run off to the doctor.
OH MY GOD SHWETA THIS IS PERFECT. CAN I WRITE FIC TO GO ALONG WITH IT. OH MY GOD *BREATHLESS*
:D
But, ontological question, if you write fic of my original character before I manage to write my story about her, which one is the fic?
(I want to run thoughts about that story by you if that’s okay sometime btw, not that I’m well enough to write yet but hey! Apparently I’m well enough to draw again, which is HUGE, so maybe soon!)
ETA: Name and sari do need more work — they are not caste-period accurate (hmm, must chew this over)
BUT OH MY GOD.
Yeah the earliest sari reference I could find is early 1900s, which is of course way too late. But *something* like it seems eminently practical for engineering work. Must make use of university libraries. & problem with Tamil names that are actually period will be getting Anglophones to parse them at all - but that is also true for those foreign Maharashtrans XD So her name could get shortened, as mine & my brother’s did, because these northerners can’t pronounce proper Tamil names only (I was Shwetambari, he was Saratchandra, we became Sharad & Shweta).
btw I invented the changeable-size wrench because the pipe wrench is a) Western and b) not invented yet XD
She needs her own TV series. Seriously. I feel like this is the type of character that can revolutionize the entertainment industry.
I almost started crying here.
don’t even watch the show but DAMN
This reminds me way too much of the end of my last relationship. I don’t watch this show either, but it made me cry. A lot.
I don’t know where this is from, but this scene is powerful.
I will ALWAYS REBLOG THIS. FUCKING ALWAYS.
Don't much like Glee, but for being shallow as hell most of the time, holy fuck, does it have its moments.
Beiste, girl, you rock.
Omar Khadr, a sixteen year old Guantanamo Bay detainee weeps uncontrollably, clutching at his face and hair as he calls out for his mother to save him from his torment. “Ya Ummi, Ya Ummi (Oh Mother, Oh Mother),” he wails repeatedly, hauntingly with each breath he takes.
The surveillance tapes, released by Khadr’s defence, show him left alone in an interrogation room for a “break” after he tried complaining to CSIS (Canadian Security Intelligence Service) officers about his poor health due to insufficient medical attention. Ignoring his complaints and trying to get him to make false confessions, the officers get frustrated with the sixteen year old’s tears and tell him to get himself together by the time they come back from their break.
“You don’t care about me. Nobody cares about me,” he sobs to them.
The tapes show how the officers manipulated Khadr into thinking that they were helping him because they were also Canadian and how they taunted him with the prospect of home (Canada), (good) food, and familial reunion.
Khadr, a Canadian, was taken into US custody at the age of fifteen, tortured and refused medical attention because he wouldn’t attest to being a member of Al Qaeda, even though he was shot three times in the chest and had shrapnel embedded in his eyes and right shoulder. As a result, Khadr’s left eye is now permanently blind, the vision in his right eye is deteriorating, he develops severe pain in his right shoulder when the temperature drops, and he suffers from extreme nightmares.
He has been incarcerated at Guantanamo Bay since 2002, suffering extremely harsh interrogations and torture (methods), and is now 25 years old.
How can they justify shooting and imprisoning a CHILD
normalized psycopathic behavior at the national level.
This is seriously serial-killer level torturing shit. If a single person did this, capturing a teenage boy and keeping them locked up and treating them like this, we’d call them a serial killer, a predator, a sociopath.
But when the government does it and has several individuals on a lot of levels making it happen, suddenly it’s okay.
Why the hell isn't this on front page news?
It is astounding how significantly one idea can shape a society and its policies. Consider this one. If taxes on the rich go up, job creation will go down. This idea is an article of faith for Republicans and seldom challenged by Democrats and has shaped much of today’s economic landscape. But sometimes the ideas that we know to be true are dead wrong. For thousands of years people were sure that earth was at the center of the universe. It’s not, and an astronomer who still believed that it was, would do some lousy astronomy. In the same way, a policy maker who believed that the rich and businesses are “job creators” and therefore should not be taxed, would make equally bad policy. I have started or helped start, dozens of businesses and initially hired lots of people. But if no one could have afforded to buy what we had to sell, my businesses would all have failed and all those jobs would have evaporated. That’s why I can say with confidence that rich people don’t create jobs, nor do businesses, large or small. What does lead to more employment is a “circle of life” like feedback loop between customers and businesses. And only consumers can set in motion this virtuous cycle of increasing demand and hiring. In this sense, an ordinary middle-class consumer is far more of a job creator than a capitalist like me.

Reporter: I have a question to Robert and to Scarlett. Firstly to Robert, throughout Iron Man 1 and 2, Tony Stark started off as a very egotistical character but learns how to fight as a team. And so how did you approach this role, bearing in mind that kind of maturity as a human being when it comes to the Tony Stark character, and did you learn anything throughout the three movies that you made?
And to Scarlett, to get into shape for Black Widow did you have anything special to do in terms of the diet, like did you have to eat any specific food, or that sort of thing?
Scarlett: How come you get the really interesting existential question, and I get the like, “rabbit food” question?
The respect given to you if you’re a man in the entertainment business, and the respect given to you if you’re a woman in the entertainment business: all perfectly summed up in one idiotically thought out line of questioning.
You know, I always did like Scarlett Johannson.
Dat side-eye.
Let me just hug you forever Miss Johannson.
That reporter should be sacked on the spot.
They just don’t realize she’s been eating comic books longer than they’ve been alive.
Scarjo. My nerdy heroine. <3
a comic about opinions, tolerance and pokemon.
I hate this scene, and this line encapsulates exactly why I hate it so much.
#the Thane Krios I met in Mass Effect 2 #would never have sat in a fucking hospital #and let Commander Shepard #the woman who woke him from his battle sleep #who reunited him with his son #who showed a lonely disconnected man that life was worth fighting for #beyond simple atonement for sins#he would not have abandoned her to fate #and been so fucking cheerful about it#the Thane Krios who wrote that letter #he would not have said this #the Thane Krios who vowed to make the galaxy a brighter place before he died #would never have sat in idle contentment watching the Reapers ravage that same galaxy #and the Thane Krios who swore to always watch over Shepard #who wept like a frustrated child because he was afraid that he would die and never see her again #who gladly followed her to hell and back #HE WOULD NOT HAVE SAID THIS #fuck you Bioware #and fuck whoever wrote Thane in ME3 #because this is not Thane.
You know, something was off about that scene, and it never occurred to me what it was...
Then, boom. It hits me.
"This may seem like a bad sci-fi movie or fear-mongering to some people..."
No, really?
Aaaaand they just pulled the "our world leaders are being controlled by aliens" card.
No, wait, they actually are aliens!
Nonononono, hybrids!
Or wait wait wait! The aliens are using our brains as portals!
Quick! Somebody hit me in the face with a guitar! I want to see if a robot comes out!
This UFO documentary has achieved maximum bullshit.
The aliens are actually trans-dimensional beings!
They posed as angels and demons and fairies in ancient times!
They created religion to pacify us so we don't rebel!
And they're having buttsex with our women and eating our children!
