Avacad-no At Law

Me: *Switches on bi lighting & hangs up pride flag*

Me: *Impatiently taps foot while looking at watch *

Where my fellow queers at??

Felt that it’s important to share videos like this too.

The world wants us to forget that they are people.

People who dance and play and smile just like you and I.

And it's important to share things like this, to remind them the world that they are human.

Could a homosexual lend me, an asexual, a single use of the word flaming?

YOU have obtained:

Perfectly executed joke, no notes

the thing about rhode island is that the locals are so absolutely out of their minds that these slogans from two well known and culturally significant restaurants dont register as something aliens would come up with

I can't not feel enraged when I see this. Gives a unique pain in the chest.

Me: I'm a cool adult who's in touch with the youth and won't denigrate their slang.

The Youth: *use 'pos' to mean 'positive'*

Me: The lord is testing me.

Add the author’s reply, cowards!

I scrolled through the notes on this post and my favorite has to be one mockingly accusing Madeline Miller (a Latin and Greek teacher with a Masters in Classics) of needing to do research and she wasn’t a real writer like them.

Honestly, the first time I saw this tweet, I laughed my tits straight into the ocean.

And a double thanks to the person I reblogged from for linking the articles.

The thread is perfect as it is, but just in case

I wrote this and then a couple of episodes comes the first time he fantasizes about buffy kissing him and it's literally just: spike says he wants her dead, spike gets beaten up and humiliated, spike fantasizes about getting beat up some more and the only difference is that then they make out

silly boy wanna be hurt

loves getting pinned and potentially penetrated from day 1

he continues asking her to hit him after this.....

GOSH I forgot how sexy this fucked up moment is
