Happy Birthday to the best girl in the world. And by that I mean Piper McLean.

Once when I was in undergrad, someone described something as “problematic” in class and our professor was like, “That’s cool, but ‘problematic’ doesn’t really mean anything. It means that the thing you’re describing has a problem, and in and of itself that’s not bad. Art, especially, should always have problems, or else it’s not interesting and not art, either. It sounds like you’re trying to say that this is bad, but you don’t want to say ‘bad.’ Is that right?”

So from then on whenever one of us called something problematic, he would make us talk it out until we could name the “bad” thing we were hinting at. In this particular class, 7/10 it was some type of oppression, and the remainder was like, “I’m uncomfortable because this is very new/confusing/pushing boundaries that made me feel safe.”

Once we stopped calling things “problematic” and stopping at that, class got way more interesting and... we all had to say, like, “that’s racist” or “that’s misogynistic” or “ew capitalism gross” out loud, which a lot of us had never done in a classroom before. Or we had to be like, “Uhhh... I’m not sure what’s so bad?” and confront our own beliefs and that was maybe even more useful.

Anyway. Whenever I see the word problematic, I can’t help but think of this professor being like, “Good starting point, now let’s get specific.” I think when we have to commit to saying “that’s ___” it requires a lot more careful thought about the truth and impact and complexities of whatever we’re claiming. Sometimes there really is some bullshit afoot, and also sometimes it’s art, and it should be full of problems, because that’s what art is.

Travis, what do you love most about Katie? :D

I HAVE BEEN WAITING YEARS FOR SOMEONE TO ASK ME THIS QUESTION!!!!!!

Well, she is very caring, she's so, so, so, so, so, so gentle with everything, she cares so much about her work and the good of camp, she's so loving and beautiful, she keeps me from doing stuff that would blow up on my face, she helps me with the tamer jokes and pranks, she has taught me so much and she has helped me be a better person, she's so nice to new campers and helps them find a place, she knows a lot about pretty flowers, she gives the best hugs...

“A kiss may be grand, but it won’t pay the rental, on your humble flat, or help you at the automat.”

Like literally the most famous song about how much girls love jewellry is just explaining the importance of getting jewellry for when your partner leaves you penniless and alone.

The founder of Girl Scouting in the US, Juliette Gordon Low, funded her first troop by selling her pearl necklace, which was her only belonging after her husband died and left everything to his mistress.

She founded Girl Scouts to teach girls self-sufficiency so they wouldn’t have to go through what she went through when her husband died and she didn’t know how to take care of herself.

While we’re on the subject, let’s please also remember that historically disenfranchised communities who had to worry about frequently being run out of town often bought expensive jewelry with their limited funds not because they were greedy or tacky or classless, but rather because you can’t sew a real estate investment into the lining of your coat, and the powers that be can’t freeze a diamond necklace the way that they can freeze a bank account.

writers really will spend twenty minutes pacing around the kitchen thinking “this scene is genius” and then sit down to type and suddenly remember approximately three words and one emotional vibe

Mute!Piper AU where leo and piper still be committing little crimes really be like "just remember, if we get caught, you're deaf and I don't speak english"

happyk44

Lol hyperverbal Leo and his silent partners, everytime he finishes a long-winded ramble about something or other, they just give him a gentle thumbs up because ew, talking, gross, and he just beams like the sun (before launching into another long-winded thing about something or other)

cabingold

pjo fan here, anyways i LOVE when people draw leo as actually dark-skinned and short and scrawny. when percy, annabeth, will, and thalia are all at least tan and not snow-white. when frank and clarisse actually have body fat, and nico has olive skin (if it's post-hoo or pre-labyrinth) and lester has the average sticklike paunchy teenage body and piper's nose is not unrealistically large (look at a picture of an actual cherokee woman please). when hazel is actually dark and ethan is not literally yellow, and reyna is at least brown skinned and!! bonus points if not all the girls look really snatched and someone remembers that shel exists. please and thank you <33

Not that I think all marriages are doomed but when deciding who to marry you should ask yourself “is this someone I’d want to divorce?” As in, is this someone I believe would be mature and fair, even when they’re upset and don’t particularly like me at the moment. Is this someone I could continue to trust while going through an adversarial process? And if the answer is no, don’t marry them.

awww the like button turns into a rainbow when you press it! that's so cute...hey staff what's with all the trans women you keep nuking?

manuciruja

i think we should be ridiculing them more for this. you don't get to try and go all "queer website" when your staff likes to go on nuking sprees targeting the trans fem users

smadsel

would be remiss not to mention that the rainbow notably straight up just removed the trans flag colors from it. like they’re gone. it’s the progress flag minus the trans flag colors.

smadsel

that’s not the whole flag, now is it
