Hi! I’d like to clarify something about the accreditation of this comic.

It’s by Matthew Inman, and you can find the original comic at his blog, “The Oatmeal”, and I’m posting it below as well.

Reblog if you want to flatten Christian values with the gayroller 2000

Love her

They left out the part of her not claiming the covid lockdown years either (which she's right to).

I skimmed wikipedia and apparently she tried to kill someone????? if i'm reading right

why do you hate women

Men lick each others balls

mutuals show me your dick challenge

THE BIRDCAGE (1996) dir. Mike Nichols

men only have two choices in life look like a lesbian when theyre 20 or look like an older lesbian when theyre 50

bruce springsteen for example chose to do both

been stuck with a terrible feeling that one of the episodes in the new black mirror season is gonna end with a title card like "the program you just watched was written by artificial intelligence" and they're going to be so smug about it and we'll all have to talk about it for weeks

oh hey apollo

lol

I love being queer, reblog if you too love being queer

Can't stress enough that if you think the USA is as bad as it is because not enough people got out to vote in 2016, you have so little idea how things work as to disqualify you from any serious political discussion. Go away.

2016 has become the defining mythology for liberals in regards to American collapse. It has nothing to do with worsening material conditions, reactionary trends that have been growing for decades, or the reliance of capitalism on ongoing crises. It's your fault. You didn't vote hard enough. You didn't scold hard enough. But if you keep voting, and scolding people for not voting, forever, maybe things will get better. That's the liberal explanation for the state of things. That's their north star. That's all they have.

I guess if we ignore the fact that abortion is being banned because of trump appointed Supreme court justices then sure

Damn that's crazy 8/9 of those judges just basically banned striking and maybe a system where 9 unelected priest kings in stupid fucking robes decide people's bodily legal rights isn't one worth upholding huh?

All we have to do is participate in a rigged system and win in order to elect people who don't give a shit about any of it to maybe hopefully have a chance to try to appoint enough less-evil priest kings who maybe hopefully won't decide to strip hundreds of millions of people of the right to control their own body and we have to keep participating and always winning forever or else it all falls apart. Simple! Not worth talking about alternatives to this system. If you do you're not a team player.

God, conservative politicians and lobbyists fucking looooooove people like you.

Because what’s your answer then?

You have two options in this world; participate and vote, or sit on the sidelines and contribute to things getting worse through your pretentious sense of superiority.

You think you’re better because you ‘get it’, when in truth you’ve been got.

They love how easy it’s becoming to cultivate people like you, to make you step away. They love how you think that not participating will change things, because it means they’ll gain more and more of a majority and will be able to do whatever they want. While you sit there, feeling smug, the Proper Intelligent Politically Savvy Person, not realising your smugness got you fucking played.

I’m sorry to tell you, but the system has won. The system was built and designed to work the way it’s working and trap people the way that it does, and you aren’t going to change it by sitting on the sidelines smugly rolling your eyes at the people who are still participating in its rules.

But sure, go on, continue your little keyboard rebellion, I’m sure that if enough people stop voting and instead sit on tumblr talking about how dumb the people still rallying are then the world will magically fix itself and upright itself.

Unless you’re going to grab up a rifle and a flag and blow up a court house or twenty, instead of just feel smug in the comfort of your home, shut the fuck up about what it means to let a system collapse.

“Isn’t worth upholding” Guess what, you don’t have a fucking choice. Welcome to the system, you are NOT stronger than it.

And you’re only saying “let it burn, we can find another way” because you know, in your heart, that you’re not going to suffer much for it if things do collapse. When systems collapse, government support systems crumble and fracture, people starve and end up on the streets and die.

But you know you’ll be fine. You’ve got nothing to lose from feeling good about yourself, standing on your high horse out of reach of any flames if your ego was to get its way.

Shut the fuck up. You’re not a god. You’re not bigger than the system. You’re not changing the world from outside of it, movies and shows and books lied to you about revolution and societal change and they were encouraged to lie to you and you fucking bought it because it fed your ego and tasted delicious.

Jesus Christ above.

New copypasta just dropped

what’s the pink they put in pink lemonade that makes it so poppin

that’s pussy babe!

now THIS is a world heritage post

The LGBTQ community has seen controversy regarding acceptance of different groups (bisexual and transgender individuals have sometimes been marginalized by the larger community), but the term LGBT has been a positive symbol of inclusion and reflects the embrace of different identities and that we’re stronger together and need each other. While there are differences, we all face many of the same challenges from broader society.

In the 1960′s, in wider society the meaning of the word gay transitioned from ‘happy’ or ‘carefree’ to predominantly mean ‘homosexual’ and was an umbrella term that meant anyone who wasn’t cisgender or heterosexual. The community embraced the word ‘gay’ as a mark of pride.

The modern fight for queer rights is considered to have begun with The Stonewall Riots in 1969 and was called the Gay Liberation Movement and the Gay Rights Movement.

The acronym GLB surfaced around this time to also include Lesbian and Bisexual people who felt “gay” wasn’t inclusive of their identities. 

Early in the gay rights movement, gay men were largely the ones running the show and there was a focus on men’s issues. Lesbians were unhappy that gay men dominated the leadership and ignored their needs and the feminist fight. As a result, lesbians tended to focus their attention on the Women’s Rights Movement which was happening at the same time. This dominance by gay men was seen as yet one more example of patriarchy and sexism. 

In the 1970′s, sexism and homophobia existed in more virulent forms and those biases against lesbians also made it hard for them to find their voices within women’s liberation movements. Betty Friedman, the founder of the National Organization for Women (NOW), commented that lesbians were a “lavender menace” that threatened the political efficacy of the organization and of feminism and many women felt including lesbians was a detriment.

In the 80s and 90s, a huge portion of gay men were suffering from AIDS while the lesbian community was largely unaffected. Lesbians helped gay men with medical care and were a massive part of the activism surrounding the gay community and AIDS. This willingness to support gay men in their time of need sparked a closer, more supportive relationship between both groups, and the gay community became more receptive to feminist ideals and goals. 

Approaching the 1990′s it was clear that GLB referred to sexual identity and wasn’t inclusive of gender identity and T should be added, especially since trans activist have long been at the forefront of the community’s fight for rights and acceptance, from Stonewall onward. Some argued that T should not be added, but many gay, lesbian and bisexual people pointed out that they also transgress established gender norms and therefore the GLB acronym should include gender identities and they pushed to include T in the acronym. 

GLBT became LGBT as a way to honor the tremendous work the lesbian community did during the AIDS crisis. 

Towards the end of the 1990s and into the 2000s, movements took place to add additional letters to the acronym to recognize Intersex, Asexual, Aromantic, Agender, and others. As the acronym grew to LGBTIQ, LGBTQIA, LGBTQIAA, many complained this was becoming unwieldy and started using a ‘+’ to show LGBT aren’t the only identities in the community and this became more common, whether as LGBT+ or LGBTQ+. 

In the 2010′s, the process of reclaiming the word “queer” that began in the 1980′s was largely accomplished. In the 2020′s the LGBTQ+ acronym is used less often as Queer is becoming the more common term to represent the community.
