‘straight people have it easier than lesbians’: a controversial statement, apparently

[lesbiansforjohnnymarr]

reblog if you have some sorta bias towards lesbians

[lesbitchka]

it's now a rule within an lgbt community at my school that you can't flirt with people because it might make aroace people uncomfortable...

id get banned immediately because i have no concept of flirting

[femmephobiaofficial-deactivated]

Jokes aside, this is honestly so harmful for sga people because that might be the only place where they can find a partner and they can’t even search for one??

[acecringe]

Cory Bernardi, Liberal Senator for South Australia, plans to split off and form his own political party.

“The Liberals weren’t crackpot enough for me,” Bernardi said. “Therefore I will break off from the pack and establish my own far-right fringe group where we’ll hate on gays, minorities, Islam, and science! That’ll totally work perfectly instead of backfire and fall apart like nearly everyone else’s attempts to do so!”

“No longer will I be held back by the likes of moderates like Tony Abbott and Malcolm Turnbull! I, alone, will make Australia great again!” He laughed.

Thus far no one has voiced support for Bernardi.

Still my favorite story from the Lord of the Rings set: Viggo Mortensen bonded so much with the horse he rode in the movies that after filming was over he bought it from its owner. If that doesn’t warm your heart I don’t know what could.

[terecita-deactivated20201128]

don’t forget that he also bought arwen’s horse for her stunt rider when she couldn’t afford it awww

[1nksplotched-deactivated2014020]

#also don’t forget that for the rohirrim they put a call out for locals #bring a horse show us you can ride it and get a part in the battle scenes #and one women went out roped a wild horse and rode for a few days to set #and got to be a rider of rohan

[retaliatesfirst]

also sort of relevant viggo also bought the horse that costarred with him in the movie hidalgo and subsequently took the horse (tj) with him to the red carpet premier. 

[thefeathercloak]

Also most of the Riders of Rohan are actually women because when they put out that call mostly women showed up with their horses and the costume team just stuck beards on them.

[cremblr]

if this isn’t the best post i don’t

[lilyrose225writes]

So you’re saying the entire Rohan army could have killed the Witch-King of Angmar.

Anderson Cooper saving a boy in Haiti during a shooting. A slab of concrete was dropped of the boys head.

[the-awful-rowing]

Anderson fucking Cooper, everyone. 

Some journalists like to be strictly observers. they don’t intervene, they don’t participate. they just document what they see, even if what they see is terrible. But the way I see it, journalists don’t exist in a vacuum. They are human beings, living and working in a very human environment. And that humanity is essential in relating to their stories. When you lose your humanity, you lose any kind of journalistic integrity you have left.

my friend angella was doing a comedy gig, and as soon as she came out a guy shouted ‘can i give you my number?’ and all the crowd groaned cause it was so inappropriate but angella was like ‘yeah sure’. the guy started shouting out his number and she started entering it into her phone. the whole crowd was like woaaah. she got the whole number and then dialled it and it rang. everyone lost their shit. finally the guy answered and angella just said “hello? shut the fuck up” and it was the most incredible thing i’ve ever seen

Lawblr side of Tumblr, here. I don’t think anybody even understands how terrifying this is. If the Executive can ignore the Judiciary, then we have a full-on Constitutional Crisis on our hands. Our country immediately falls apart. The only options for enforcement of judicial orders are 1) U.S. Marshals (which are ordered around by the Judiciary but ultimately still a part of the Executive as part of the Department of Justice), in which case we have an ACTUAL ARMED CONFLICT BETWEEN TWO BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT, or if the Marshals refuse to comply, 2) the Governor of the state, say Virginia, sends in the National Guard of the state, which leads to AN ARMED CONFLICT BETWEEN A STATE MILITIA AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT In case you weren’t getting the picture, let me be blunt and dramatic: this is literally Civil War-level shit right here. And Trump has been in office a week. This is fucking terrifying.

I spent the day at SeaTac (Seattle-Tacoma International Airport). We got very little done because CBP refused to talk to us at all. When one of the attorneys with us annoyed them so much that they finally answered their office door (she literally knocked on it for 10 minutes straight), they directed her to the press release on their website (side note: I don’t know if there even is a press release on the CBP website). They told her they don’t care how many attorneys show up, they don’t take orders from attorneys or judges. Senator Patty Murray showed up just after 4:00 & CBP refused to talk to her, too. I will repeat that: Customs and Border Patrol refused to talk to a sitting United States Senator. They refused other senators at other airports, too, according to a WaPo article I read earlier.

I had to return to Portland tonight because I have work tomorrow. ACLU & International Refugee Assistance Project attorneys will be back at SeaTac tomorrow at 5:30 a.m. (including my law school bestie, I am so proud). 

There were 13 people detained at SeaTac yesterday who were secretly transferred to a detention facility in Tacoma, so the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project is working with attorneys to straighten that right out. 

Basically: Shit is going down, y’all. The women I went up with today? Both were Arabs. One was from Pakistan, the other was from Lebanon (a Christian, a Muslim and a Jew walk into an airport…). When I asked them if I was overreacting by feeling like this was a coup-in-progress, they said no. That’s precisely what this is.

I thought we had a coup-proof system. I was mistaken.

Keep fighting the good fight, lawyers. And if you’re in Portland, I’ll see you at Perkins-Coie tomorrow at 5:30 for the L4GG meeting.

At Dulles, CBP has been stonewalling four members of the US House of Representatives, the governer and attorney general of Virginia, and Senators Cory Booker (NJ) and Mark Warner (VA)–the latter of whom chewed out the head of CBP in person. No dice. Not even with a federal court order telling CBP at Dulles, only them, and them in particular to give detainees access to lawyers.

And they’re pulling an old trick from the national-security handbook that’s been used to evade the courts on issues like domestic surveillance: “Lawyers and advocates still didn’t know how many people were being held in the secondary inspection area at Dulles or what their immigration status was, which led to a catch-22: Attorneys couldn’t file for contempt of court without having proof that legal residents were being detained and not being given access to lawyers, but they couldn’t get proof without getting access.” (x)

At least two VA reps have found out (via friends and family) about constituents being detained at Dulles, at which point CBP released them in order to dodge the access-to-lawyers issue. The representative for my district is on the warpath–and also on the House Oversight Committee. Here’s hoping these fuckers get slapped with contempt of court so hard their ears ring, then get hauled in front of a committee hearing to see if they want to try their chances with contempt of Congress.

All of which doesn’t even get into the Monday Night Massacre clusterfuck inside the executive branch, when the acting attorney general of the United States refused to make the DoJ defend the lawfulness of the immigration order in court. And was summarily fired and replaced with someone more compliant. So here’s also hoping the Senate puts Jeff Sessions through absolute hell on his role in all this before they vote to confirm him as AG.

It’s like the civics lesson from hell.

The psychiatrist who wrote the criteria for narcissism just made an extremely important point about what’s wrong with diagnosing Trump with mental disorders

Dr. Allen Frances says in speculating about Trump’s mental health, we are doing a disservice to those who do suffer from mental illness. In a series of tweets, he explained why he doesn’t think Trump is a narcissist — and how harmful it can be for us to keep assuming that he is.

in a whiney ass voice:“i dont understand, like… youre bi. so you should know whats its like to have your identity invalidated by certain parts of the com-” me: cishets aren’t LGBT regardless of what kind of discrimination I may face from fellow LGBT members and it’s gross of you to try to use my sexuality to feel guilty

@windfill

[fakecalliecucumber-deactivated2]

ok so, surely we all know by now that wanting your partner to be a specific race at the exclusion of others is fetishization and racist and gross, right?

so i have to ask: honestly, why is it ok to want your partner to be a specific gender at the exclusion of others? like, how is monosexuality not totally gross fetishization in an exact parallel to the race issue?

it seems to me like either you’re attracted to people (bi/pan) or you aren’t (ace), and we’re all good! that is all of the information i require to understand you! you are a sensible individual.

but this whole concept of being attracted to only one gender just feels absurd to me - just as absurd as being attracted to only one race… ???

Aro/ace Tumblr is trying SO HARD to use the bi/pan community to give itself legitimacy.

The worst part?

So many bi/pan people buy into it.

People *cough*cishetaces*cough* need to understand that there's a difference between literal systemic oppression and being "judged" by individuals. LGBT+ people can lose their jobs and their homes for being openly LGBT+. An asexual person is never going to be fired from a job or be refused an apartment on the basis of their asexuality.

Yup
