kitten i have to be honest your misunderstanding of what 'death of the author' actually means is getting embarassing and mommy would prefer if you posted less or maybe attended some classes on literary analysis

kitten i think you might be stupid

My girlfriend is turning 32 soon… 

I’ve told her not to get her hopes up. “After all,” I say, “we’re only going to celebrate it for half a minute” when she asked what in the world I was talking about, I pointed out “This is your thirty-second birthday”

I wish more people understood how fucking hard Legend of Korra was actually censored. It's not "LGBT bait" it was CENSORED and the writers had to fight hard just for Korra and Asami to HOLD FUCKING HANDS

Korra was censored so hard they cut the budget to ribbons during the last couple seasons and banished it to online-only episodes

They hated it

Korrasami became canon about nine or ten years ago now I think? And back then there was so little queer rep in any media that I legitimately started bawling just because they held hands

It was the first time in my life I had seen a happy queer couple in a cartoon

A periodic reminder that mainstream acceptance of queers is still very recent, we have not had it for long, only almost a decade, that's why republicans are so committed to destroying them, they want to make our rights a blip

I'm old enough to remember when the progressive proposal for some kind of recognition of same-sex partnerships were civil unions starting on state/municipal levels which wouldn't be seen as the same as marriages but would at least allow people POA/hospital visits/family law and property protections, something that was VERY important and not possible during the worst of the AIDS crisis. This is still huge, it is recent, it is transformative and it can be taken away by people who hate that it passed in the first place. (See also the ACA) Please recognize how recent and hard-won progress like this is and fight like hell to defend it.

Queer rep is still being suppressed. Rebecca Sugar had to threaten to quit because Cartoon Network was going to end Steven Universe after Garnet’s wedding because it was a lesbian wedding. Rebecca also purposefully put Ruby in the dress because dubs in other languages would cast her with a male voice to make the couple seem heterosexual.

I just saw the track and field Olympics uniforms I keep hearing about and holy FUCK

Apparently there's a "shorts" option as well but wtf was Nike & the team officials ever thinking with this design???????

I initially was like "wow, that is an uncomfortable looking swimsuit" before realizing it was for TRACK AND FIELD. Can you imagine RUNNING in that?!?!

"Professional athletes should be able to compete without dedicating brain space to constant pube vigilance or the mental gymnastics of having every vulnerable piece of your body on display,” Lauren Fleshman, a former professional track and field athlete, wrote on Instagram. “Women’s kits should be in service to performance, mentally and physically. If this outfit was truly beneficial to physical performance, men would wear it. This is not an elite athletic kit for track and field. This is a costume born of patriarchal forces that are no longer welcome or needed to get eyes on women’s sports.”

That uniform would be flossing my vagina dentata what the fuck
