Religious liberty works both ways

I have read the full text of 45's Executive Order Promoting Free Speech and Religious Liberty. It is one long dog whistle that translates as, "It's okay to discriminate against women who have sex and anyone gay, as long as you say it's about your religion. Oh, and if your church wants to endorse me or give money to my campaign, the IRS will look the other way."

The thing is, though, that the wording - thanks to the actual First Amendment of the Constitution - is not about any specific religion. Therefore this EO could be the perfect opportunity to hoist the Christian Extremists/Christian Supremacists behind it (like Pence) on their own petard. You see, there are thousands of officially recognized, non-profit religious organizations in the US *that aren't Christian*. This means that the Church of Satan is now just as free to finance and promote a candidate as the Westboro Baptist Church. I sincerely hope that some of these non-Christian organizations will be brave enough to thoroughly test this EO. If not, I'll have to found one myself.

I am sick of the girl being pretty once her glasses come off. I’m sick of the boy suddenly staring at her because she’s taken her hair out of a bun. I’m sick of the dances that she said she didn’t want to attend suddenly being the place where she shows up and learns to live.    I want a movie where she gets kissed because her lab goggles left circles around her eye sockets. Where she doesn’t go to the dance and isn’t ashamed of it. Where she wins the science fair and the way the blue ribbon looks on her makes somebody’s knees weak.   I want a movie where the girl doesn’t get tamed. Where she’s still a badass bitch at the end of it. Where she doesn’t need a man because she has a killer girlfriend who is a cute nerdy radio technician. Where her freckles don’t get concealed on the big night. Where she shows up to prom in a suit and a model on her arm.   I want a movie where the queen bee is also a 4.0 student. Where she wears makeup and styles her hair and gets her work done. Where the pretty girl is also pure of heart, works on the weekends at soup kitchens, shows up with heels on. Where the queen bee lets the new girl have the boy because she doesn’t see the point in trying to compete. Where they end up friends at the end and the boy ends up with nothing.    I want a movie where girls are art without having to be painted over. Where we are beautiful without reason, where we don’t need to prove ourselves as being worth a boy’s affections. I want a movie where we don’t have to be secretly fuckable in order to get a happy ending.

We look good in a red ballgown and also while reading a book and also while burning this whole thing down. // r.i.d (via inkskinned)

My favorite one is, “come on Star Wars be original,” as if putting a man in the lead would be cutting edge stuff. Anyway…

Look at it this way, since including female and lgbt characters in hero films their theater sales have been up. How about you add some Black and POC leads too and watch the sales keep going up!

Anything that makes Men’s Rights Activists mad automatically gets my support! These stories are about a galaxy, which would, you know, be full of all sorts of beings, of all shapes, sizes, colors, and cultures. Star Wars should be for everyone!

The Shepherd’s Crown

Last night, I finished The Shepherd’s Crown, Terry Pratchett's final novel. The witch books in his Discworld series have always been my favorite, and I'm so sad that there won't be any more. A great mind was taken from us far too soon. Alzheimer's sucks!

Well, there's nothing for it but to read all the Discworld novels again.
