Hello Wikipedia, I would like to confirm that the thing in question is indeed bananas. Regards a cite able source.

So convincing, my dream of waking, i attribute morning hunger to lunchtime.

How are unicorns fake, but giraffes are real. Like what's more believable, a horse with a horn, or a leopard-moose-camel with a 40-foot neck?

Ready to hear me file my weekly complaint about Tom? 

Well, too bad. 

But I will file one on Tom’s story in general: 

It’s boring. 

Seriously. Apparently Kirk is a small fish. Kinda disappointing, but okay. The thing I liked about the idea that Kirk was a big fish and Tom’s other employer was two-fold:

1) It turned this into more of an actual redemption story for Tom. Explained his attitude and a lot of other things. And made him actually redeemable. 

2) It was interesting. 

This? This thing where Tom is boy scout Agnes-daddy? Unless you’re Keen2, this is not at all interesting. 

Seriously, it still feels like it felt in 3b when all of a sudden they’re getting re-married. Like,... what? Did I skip two seasons or something? I missed something. This maketh no senseth.

So, i had this huge facebook argument tonight, those of you who didn't see my shocked and awed post earlier. 

And this was an hour long back and forth, with a large amount of discussion, mostly very respectful, until the odd family friend/devotee decided to call me a 'twat' that was 'throwing a hissy fit' because i was calling someone out on their homophobic stereotyping bullshit. 

BUT. BUT. this conversation was about to end, about to come to it's fairly acceptable conclusion when this person said, in response to my talking about ignorance vs. outright homophobic hate - they said -

'there is no such thing as subtle homophobia. just like there is no such thing as subtle racism. you are either against something or you're not' 

and naturally i lost all ability to think for a second because there were about 800 different things racing through my head in astonishment. 

1) yes there fucking is. 

2) yes there fucking is.

3) since when is homophobia something where you are simply for/against gay people. it's a little more fucking complicated than that you piece of duck poop.

4) apparently it's the same for racism!?!?!?!

5) Do you just look at anyone who is not white as a huge group and saY YES OR NO WTF DO YOU MEAN BY THAT!? THAT IS RACIST IN AND OF ITSELF.

6) Microaggressions. You have clearly never heard of them.

7) There's a suggestion that all homophobia is the same.

8) Would you consider someone calling a 15 year old kid 'gaaaaaay!' from across the room equal to stabbing an out gay man in the chest, equal? Because i fucking don't.

9) SAme with RaCISM?? Really? So wearing a 'tribal outift' for halloween is the same as shooting a guy because you think he 'doesn't belong here' BOTH RACIST. VERY DIFFERENT.

10) WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU

11) YOU HAVE CLEARLY NEVER GROWN UP HEARING PEOPLE TALK ABOUT GAY PEOPLE, I.E. YOU, WITH THAT SLIGHT TONE IN THEIR VOICE AND WE ALL KNOW WHAT THAT SOUNDS LIKE. No such thing as subtle homophobia...

12) CLEARLY NEVER HAD A CONVERSATION WHERE YOU HAVE PEOPLE SNIGGER AND DISMISS FACTORS OF A PERSON'S LIFE BECAUSE THEY ARE GAY AND THEN WHEN YOU BECOME DEFENSIVE AND COME OUT TO THESE PEOPLE THEY TRY AND BACKTRACK AS IF THEY NEVER SAID IT. No such thing as subtle homophobia...

13) NEVER HEARD SOMEONE REFER TO US AS 'THEM'.

14) NEVER HEARD SOMEONE ASSUME THAT SOMEONE IS GAY BECAUSE OF WHAT THEY ARE WEARING.

15) NEVER SEEN SOMEONE DO A DOUBLE TAKE AT A GAY COUPLE HOLDING HANDS AND FROWN.

16) NEVER ASKED YOU IDIOTIC QUESTIONS THAT THEY THINK ARE PERFECTLY POLITE.

17) NEVER JUDGE YOU IMMEDIATELY ACCORDING TO STEREOTYPES BEFORE THEY EVEN KNEW YOU.

18) NEVER GO INTO A NEW WORKPLACE OR SCHOOL AND WONDER WHETHER IT'S OKAY TO BE OUT HERE.

19) NEVER LOOK AROUND A CROWDED ROOM AND WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE ARE GAY TOO BUT KNOW THAT HALF OF THEM WILL BE IN THE CLOSET.

20) HETERONORMATIVE BULLSHIT EVERYWHERE WE LOOK.

21) IS THAT ENOUGH

22) Against something or you're not. against something or you're not.

23) THIS IS NOT A YES/NO ARGUMENT

24) CLASSIFYING GAY PEOPLE OR NOT-WHITE PEOPLE  AS SINGULAR GROUPS THAT YOU EITHER AGREE WITH OR NOT!?!?

25) SO HOMOPHOBIC PARENTS OF GAY KIDS, DO THEY JUST FLIP A SWITCH ONE DAY? ONE NIGHT THEY'RE AGAINST IT AND THE NEXT THEY'RE NOT?

26) NO, THEY FUCKING EDUCATE THEMSELVES AND LEARN HOW TO NOT BE SHITTY PEOPLE.

27) SUGGESTING THAT SOMEONE CAN ONLY BE RACIST IF THEY ARE COMPLETELY 100% 'RACIST' WHATEVER THAT CAN EVEN FUCKING MEAN?! 

28) AND NOT THAT THEY FORM BULLSHIT OPINIONS BASED ON CULTURAL AND/OR RACIAL STEREOTYPES AND DECIDE NOT TO BE AWARE OF ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS

29) YOU LITERALLY MANAGED TO CONVINCE ME THAT YOU WERE NOT HOMOPHOBIC BEFORE YOU SAID THIS BUT OH BOY AM I GLAD YOU DID OH MY GOOD GOD.

30) WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?
