Gunpowder and Sass

what am i looking for in a male character? i’m personally partial to little freaks who have suffered more than jesus so write that down

this logic is so irrelevant. no one promoting this sort of bill actually cares about this. they know full well that drag performance and theatrical cross dressing is perfectly fine and a type of performance. the stupid lists of plays you can't do is absolutely 1000000% irrelevant to the discussion. And talking about this hurts trans people. I have well educated; well considered; liberal freinds who i had to sit down and talk through the ramifications of this step by step because they have no idea what its like to be gnc in this world. This is so they can criminalize being trans in public without running afoul of any thin claims of equal treatment and discrimination. Thats the point. The same way they used the drug war to criminalize being left or black; they are criminalizing drag to get at an ideology and a people they want to commit genocide on; but can't openly. Fascists do not care at all about the logic'd "gotcha" of the liberal thought. They don't care. They found a way to get the result they wanted (criminalizing queer people) and they don't care how silly they sound doing it so long as they have power. Spare me these absolute miss the point liberal ass takes and talk about how now; anyone who is deemed too gender nonconforming and is even potentially in proximity to a child can be charged with crimes.

What kind of terminal theater kid Hamilton-brain do you have to have to see something like this and immediately think "WE HAVE TO WARN PEOPLE, THE PLAYS!"

The reason you bring up the plays is in order to sway some judge somewhere, someways down the line, that this law violates some form of free speech. This is why you bring up the list of plays - because you are hoping that the system isn't broken enough that somewhere in all the litigation and apleals, you will encounter a judge that isnt fascist-poisoned enough to see how much this hurts the entire entire country to let laws like this stand, and overturn the law.

It’s true

LIghthouse keepers will never be memorialized like soldiers or cops because they didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job) but they’re like, heroes who saved untold lives through discipline and self-sacrifice doing an impossible lonely job and I’m worked up about  it 

Clinging to a swaying tower in freezing, driving rain, risking death by everything from pneumonia to a fall to a fucking lightning strike to keep the lantern going when you don’t even KNOW if someone is out on the water!! Working! Class! Heroes!

Love very much the sentiment of this post and also love the specific wording of “didn’t kill anyone (as part of their job)” because what lighthouse keepers did off hours is their own business

i thought nobody could be more blatantly obvious about being a misha simp than jensen but then danneel came in with her steel chair

Shipping isn't trying to explain why a relationship is actually canon. It's not even trying to explain why it should or could be canon. Shipping is saying "wouldn't it be funny if these two fucked" and everyone needs to remember that.

and sometimes it's "wouldn't it be fucked up if these two fucked"

once Alecto the Ninth is out somebody needs to make the whole series into a bible. Gilded page edges, leather cover, gold-embossed crucifix skull on the front. I want be able to say shit like “Well, as it says in Gideon 4:8 “Go choke on a dick.”” y’know? Would this be healthy? No. Probably really toxic and annoying actually. But it would be really fucking funny.
