What is a tum blur???

Matthew Shepard was tortured and pistol whipped and then tied to a fence, where he was left by the side of the road to slowly die. After six days in hospital, he passed away from his extensive head injuries.

At his funeral, Westboro Baptist Church as well as other hate groups protested his funeral with signs saying “F*gs go to hell” as well as signs saying “No tears for queers.”

This happened in my life time. I am 25 years old and in my life, a gay funeral was protested by people screaming about queers deserving violent death.

LGBT people saying that the word queer hurts them, triggers them, and traumatizes them is not comparable to the offense meant by cishets using that word to hurt, humiliate, and dehumanize us.

This is like if you walked around with a sword by your side all the time and said it was your “comfort” item. Sure, good for you. I’m glad you found some comfort. But if other people are threatened by it, harmed by it, you gotta leave your sword at home. Which means most of the time you gotta leave it at home when you’re in public because most people see swords as a threat, implicitly. That’s how queer as a slur works–we see it as a threat first.

He blocked me. lol

Looks like this one blocked me too.

Seriously, of all the things to get the gendershits on my ass, it’s this? Let it be known: gendershits really don’t like it when you list facts about fungi. LMFAO

You know what’s a seriously under-appreciated yet common mushroom? dryad’s saddles/pheasant backs. They smell like watermelon rind, and have a kind of sweet taste to them. They’re good in soup, on pizza, in pasta sauce, with rice, and if you can find a young one in just the right shape they are wonderful stuffed.

You do want to find them young, though. They can have this rubbery toughness otherwise. Still edible but you have to cut them into very small pieces which is kind of a pain in the ass. When they’re just right though, they are so tender, and the taste is kind of hard to describe, but it’s very good. Some people find it bland. I don’t really understand that, but maybe they’re cooking them in oil rather than butter or something. Then again, I tend to need a lot less salt in my food than a lot of people do in order to enjoy it, so maybe it’s just my tastebuds.

But I’m about to tell you something crazy. So you know how I said it has a somewhat sweet taste, yeah? Well I made jam out of it, and it’s fucking good. It has a very sweet, somewhat smoky flavour, and one day I may just make a dryad’s saddle pie. Not many mushrooms work well as dessert foods, but dryad’s saddle is definitely one of them.

You know what? As long as people are still going to get silly over this post, I might as well include pictures along with my descriptions.

Why are mammograms used if when you show signs of breast cancer, they give you an ultrasound to get a better look?

Like….what is the point of squishing boobies painfully into pancakes if…a painfree ultrasound does a better job..?????????????/

Word coming from a comrade out of Ohio that fascists are putting up explicitly anti-LGBT posters referencing and encouraging suicide of LGBT people at Cleveland State University and that the administration is allowing this blatant hate speech as “free speech.” There is currently a massive emboldening happening on the far right- these people are not afraid to speak out as they once were, and we need to bash back and put these people back in their place- online forums and 6 feet under. Pictures attached, please be aware they are potentially upsetting:

Ronald M. Berkman can take his free speech and shove it up his homophobe-embracing asshole.

Here is his twitter. Blow it the hell up: https://twitter.com/PresBerkman

Here is his email. Flood his inbox so that he sees nothing else for pages: [email protected] 

Here is the address of his office where you can send letters or news stories about the tons of LGBT people being murdered and killing themselves and ask him how he supports speech encouraging that kind of violence:

2. I mean she was betrothed which would require a divorce to get out of, she was closer to “married” than “single”.

But that argument–that God would choose an unwed pregnant woman to be the vessel for his Earthly incarnation, and that therefore he truly does value those society holds as outcast and sinful–falls a bit flat when you consider that this very same God was the one who said that an engaged woman who has sex outside of wedlock (as Mary would have been presumed to have done) should be stoned to death.

(And that’s leaving aside the argument that an omnipotent, omniscient deity–which the Christian God is said to be–should be able to prevent all of the suffering in the world–and even taking into account the argument that God permits some suffering to happen to allow humanity free will, a deity who is, again, all-powerful and all-knowing should be able to work within those bounds to create a much kinder world than the one we live in.)

Saying that Mary consented to become pregnant, and that that justifies the whole affair, also falls kind of flat when you consider that the person doing the asking is God.

Mythologically, things don’t tend to work out very well for people who refuse an order given to them by a god… and it’s not like God couldn’t have gone ahead whether she said yes or no.

I don’t think I’ve ever read anything this ignorant, self-contradictory and racist in my whole life. How you gonna forget to put your Klansman robe on and then shit yourself because you didn’t expect your face to go viral?

Can we do him a favor and make him even more famous? He deserves to be expelled from university and never find a job because he really is a threat to society. 

…heard this on Twitter yesterday 😁

Like, if I fall and break my arm, should that have to be paid out of pocket? If I end up with lung cancer due to smoking, should that have to be paid out of pocket?

Do you feel that any treatment for avoidable conditions should be paid out of pocket?

Suffer consequences… Why does having sex mean one must suffer? Sex isn’t a crime. And children certainly shouldn’t be thrust upon someone as a form of punishment.

I mean, my son recently had the flu. It was avoidable (we just didn’t get his shot in time). So I guess we probably should’ve had to pay for all of his care out of pocket, right? According to your logic?

As someone else pointed out, applying your logic, insurance companies shouldn’t pay for prenatal care either, right? Gotta suffer those consequences.

You do realize birth control can and does fail? It’s failed me before.

“Children are a punishment for having sex.”

is Wonder Woman.

Imagine you’re raised in this utopian, women only warrior society (this part isn’t fucked up) and you’re taught all about how outside of your society which is magically shielded by super-science/magic there lies “man’s world.”

Man’s world is just horrible and fucked and violent place you hear stories about and the people who inhabit it and you reach a point growing up where you probably think “okay mom, it’s probably not that bad. Shit I bet men don’t even really exist you’re just fucking with me.”

And then a fucking man shows up on your island. He’s not at all like the ones that you’ve heard about. He’s not some violent monster who wants to ruin everything he touches. He’s a good dude. You decide you want to go see man’s world, you fight for the right to become your peoples champion and ambassador. It’s your job to share with man’s world the wonders of Amazonian society.

You get to man’s world and it’s fucking astounding. There are crazy tall buildings and cars and ice cream and all these different cultures  and music and it’s just fucking mind blowing.

And there are lots of men. They’re walking down the street side by side with women. They aren’t murdering them, they aren’t reducing things to cinders. Obviously all the stories your mother told you were horse shit.

But then you start to pull back the curtain. You hear and see men disrespect women on the street. You go to the mall and wonder why all the mannequins are the same size if all the women clearly aren’t. You see all these magazines telling women what’s wrong with them, what they have to do to please men. That’s when you start wondering what’s up with this world.

You find out women are paid less then men, that no woman has ever been the leader of the United States, you see crime statistics, and you find out that this Steve Trevor, who you really thought was a good person, is an agent of a government that has declared the assaults on female soldiers “occupational hazards.”

Then you realize it’s not just the United States, it’s all over “man’s world.”

It hits you that this place is even worse than all the stories you heard.

And the worst part about it is: the gods that you’ve been raised to worship and fear, the gods that you know fucking exist, don’t want to do shit about it.

Imagine what that would do to you?

I wanna read about that Wonder Woman, the Year One Wonder Woman who’s like jesus in the temple flipping shit over. I wanna read about the Wonder Woman who’s so appalled by the conditions of man’s world she marches into the UN and tells everyone off. The Wonder Woman who meets a crying girl on a street corner, finds out that her boyfriend just laid hands on her and then goes and cuts off his hands.

Writers too often fall back on all that mythology shit as if Medusa and hydras and gorgons are the worst monsters that Diana can fight.
