“If Hamilton’s response to loss is to go as fast as he can, Burr’s response to loss is, ‘I’m not going to do anything until I know it’s the right move. I’m alive. Other people I love are dead. There’s a reason for that.’” - Lin-Manuel Miranda

Harry Potter had a crush on Cho specifically because she was good at Quidditch, and could go toe to toe with him as a seeker. Harry Potter started developing feelings for Ginny after she joined the Quidditch Team, and their first kiss happen as a celebration of winning a important match for the house cup, and she will later become a freaking professional quidditch player.

Harry Potter is into jocks. Harry Potter is into jocks that, specifically, could kick his ass at his favorite sport.

I feel like this is an important thing to know about the guy.

Absolutely. The programmer must develop code to work within the expected parameters. A less heated example is left vs right handed. Most hotkeys are really geared towards right handed people. It is simply a byproduct of not looking beyond your experience. Software isn’t from God.

Actual conversation I just had

[jessicamiriamdrew]

My 7 year old son: So if a boy likes another boy, he’s gay?

Me: Maybe. But it’s not just gay or straight. There’s lots of things a person can be.

My son, nodding wisely: Like Jewish.

DONT FORGET THE ACTUAL BRAINWASHING

[kaijulovingfreak-moved]

Not to mention that the wall didn’t do jack shit because guess what? Azula still got in and took down the government, using the corrupt system to aid her, allowing the fire nation to take over the city. The wall didn’t protect them from that.

Okay….big jump….NOW!

OH MY GOD

[lesbianfreyja]

what’s with the weird stigma that being closeted is okay but only if it would be physically unsafe for you to come out? coming out is YOUR business, if you know it would be fine & nothing would happen to you & nobody would care, but you don’t want to anyway, that’s your choice and it’s perfectly valid.

[landunderthewave]

Also this is not binary. It can be physically safe, but endanger your job/education, your living situation, your professional or personal contacts. And sometimes you just don’t know if it does.

[sylviasybil]

Do you ever just stop and think about how just being queer is immediately considered an action of deception and hiding? How weird is that, right? If a stranger walks into the room, suddenly I’m no longer out of the closet. I’ve taken no action to declare my identity one way or the other, but now I’m considered responsible for this stranger’s mis-assumption.

Coming out is continuous. You know that thing where two mirrors face each other and you can see infinite mirrors? Coming out is like walking down that mirror passage - there’s always another closet door after the one you’ve just opened, there’s always another person waiting to hold you responsible for their assumptions.

Fuck that noise. If it’s unsafe in any way for you to open the closet door, you don’t have to. If it’s completely and perfectly safe, you still don’t have to. You didn’t put that door there, you’re not responsible for anyone else’s judgments of you. Fuck that noise.

In her essay Tik Tok the great philosopher Ke$ha declared that ‘the party don’t start till I walk in.’ which is clearly meant to convey that any recreational gathering is not truly a party until Ke$ha herself arrives.

But what if Ke$ha were to leave the party for some period of time only to then walk in again? This paradoxical scenario in which a party must simultaneously already exist and not exist yet is known as Ke$ha’s Quantum Party and has stumped theoretical physicists for decades.

[terpsikeraunos]

Ke$ha clearly states that “when I leave for the night I ain’t comin’ back” (Animal 2.4), and furthermore, that “Tonight, Imma fight/‘Til we see the sunlight” (2.13-14), implying that she will neither depart nor desist from celebration until the following solar recurrence; moreover, she asserts in the refrain that “…the party don’t stop, no” (2.16), sagely reassuring us that no spacetime-rending event will occur.
