Rocky Horror creator Richard O’Brien has caused controversy by speaking out against transgender women.

Understand, Rocky Horror has been making trans women ashamed and uncomfortable since it’s inception because the creator of it LITERALLY hates trans women. Please Sit The Fuck Down when you here us complain about this movie and LISTEN….

Rocky Horror- “A -Recursive, -Verbose Transvestite from a transsexual planet goes on violent rampage when their forced non-consensual sex to “tame people” is met with resistance’

The President charges his own Secret Service to use his golf carts.

The Secret Service also had to move out of their floors in Trump Tower because they couldn’t afford the lease.

THE PRESIDENT IS MAKING MONEY OFF OF HIS PRESIDENTIAL SECURITY DETAIL.

THEY ARE REQUIRED BY LAW TO PROTECT HIM AND HE’S CHARGING THEM AT HIS PRIVATE BUSINESSES TO DO SO.

The Secret Service is almost out of money. Trump spent in one year on travel what Obama spent in eight (not to mention profited off of it). They can’t afford to pay people their people to cover Trump’s huge family as they travel for work and go on vacation every week.

This is corruption. This is unethical. This is something we should all be mad as Hell about.

This was actually so insane to me that I figured I HAD to make sure it was real before reblogging it with no sources. It seems to be totally real.

sources: http://www.marketwatch.com/story/trumps-clubs-charge-60k-to-rent-carts-to-secret-service-as-agency-runs-out-of-money-2017-08-21 http://www.businessinsider.com/secret-service-trump-tower-rent-command-post-2017-8 (and there are many more if you googlefu, but most of them weren’t sources I particularly like or trust so I’m not linking them here.)

Anyway yes, this is like textbook corruption. This is our tax dollars at work, people!

If you throw one stone, it’s a punishable offence. If 1,000 stones are thrown, it’s political action. If you set a car on fire, it’s a punishable offence. If hundreds of cars are set on fire, it’s political action. Protest is when I say I don’t agree with something. Resistance is when I ensure that things with which I disagree no longer take place.

A new report fleshes out the controversial demand to defund police departments and reallocate those funds into healthcare, housing, jobs, and schools.

At the root of the report is a call to redefine community safety. The Center for Popular Democracy, Law for Black Lives, and Black Youth Project 100 worked with 27 grassroots and community-based organizations across the country to produce the 100-page document. Group members surveyed people in their communities—many of which are among those most beset by violence and over-policing—asking them to imagine what a truly free and safe neighborhood would look like. They found, unsurprisingly, that safety for these communities does not involve being regularly surveilled and monitored, but rather having better access to things like counseling for trauma and addiction. Community members said they felt safer with programs that help people overcome life’s challenges and coping with the stigmas that come with them.

There’s a large body of research on crime reduction that agrees with them:

A 2016 report from the Sentencing Project found that incarceration accounted for maybe 25 percent of the drop in crime since the 1990s. Meanwhile, research “demonstrates that investments in drug treatment, interventions with at-risk families, and school completion programs are more cost-effective than expanded incarceration as crime control measures,” reads the report.

A report from the (Obama) White House’s Council of Economic Advisers last year found that “a 10 percent increase in wages for non-college educated men results in approximately a 10 to 20 percent reduction in crime rates.”

On June 19, public health experts of the Pew Charitable Trust’s Public Safety Performance Project penned a letter stating that “there is no statistically significant relationship between state drug offender imprisonment rates and three measures of state drug problems: rates of illicit drug use, drug overdose deaths, and drug arrests.”

Horrible Girl and The Hot Mess - Gas Station Wine

You’ll make a Charleston City sinner out of me

Hailing from Greenville, South Carolina, Horrible Girl and The Hot Mess play disarming folk-punk with honesty and wit. “Gas Station Wine” recalls a summer of love and inebriation, an era of chasing self-acceptance in the face of a culture that labels queer youth as sinners.

Amelia, the band’s frontwoman, told QT more about the song’s narrative: “‘Gas Station Wine’ is based on the experiences of myself, and friends of mine, growing up in the normative, binary culture of the Deep South. During the reckless abandonment of summer, we found ourselves liberated to explore our truths of romance and identity, but having to reconcile those truths with a society that told us we were sinful and wrong for experiencing those truths. When I found myself unable to face that disconnect, initially, I ran. the song is about looking back at the anxiety and fear surrounding the exploration of our queer lives, and eventually embracing those lives despite that fear.”

Florist - Only a Prayer, Nothing More

I don’t know why I survived

The closing track on Florist’s debut LP The Birds Outside Sang is a quiet reflection on memory and survival. Emily Sprague’s voice cracks and lilts as they sing, over the gentle rhythm of guitars, about the confusing and beautiful landscape of life. Whether it’s 2 am or 2 pm, they’re “just dreaming … just floating in the light.”

A self-proclaimed “gear nerd” who also makes all the art for Florist, Sprague told Stereogum about their writing process and lyrical themes. “I like the idea of growing up and all the emotions around it. I don’t think of myself as somebody who’s trying to speak to an audience that’s growing up or anything like that. But I feel that any of the emotions you have in childhood can still be used as an adult. It’s a kind of life mentality.”
