My URL Speaks For Itself

HELLO YES HOW DO YOU DO CHUM!!!

I am alive and well!

Having fallen SO FAR behind with SPN and not wanting to be spoilered and ALL my tumblr dash being SPN related, and me with a novel to work on and a new job and shit, I decided to just retire from Tumblring (except my affirmation blog) until I can binge all of S13 in one go.

(Note: TELL ME NOTHING - I know literally nothing about it, and that’s how I like it)

But I’ve got a job two days a week, and another two days I’m interning, and getting course credit for it (suckers! I’d do this shit for nothing! It’s so fun!) It’s very exhausting, though.

I’ll be back in May? June? I do miss all my Tumblr peeps. If you’re on Facebook, feel free to send me a message here and if we’re mutuals and I know you I’m happy to FB friend you too, so we can connect that way.

Me: Why am I still watching?

Also Me: Bitch, there's a love triangle!

Me: Yes, but is that enough?

Also Me: How dare you!!! Shut your damn mouth!!!

Me: Don't worry, I keep plastic spoons in my car.

Brother: Thanks.

Brother: Why though?

Me: Why what?

Brother: Why are there spoons?

Me: I'm a compulsive binge eater who sneak-guzzles icecream in my car.

But I feel like I have my life pretty together and I’m doing well!

My Mother: *tries to talk me out of it*

My Mother: "See what your father thinks you should do."

My Father: "Grrrrrrl this class sounds bullshit, ditch it sister yaaaaaas."

i need an app to track what i eat, like not meals necessarily but the binges. like when i binge and how much and what i’m feeling and if something triggers it

Thankyou, fronds. I appreciate your support.

It is a terrible time to be queer in this country. Maybe y’all know that Australia is having a postal vote on marriage equality. This isn’t necessary. The parliament has the power to change the law themselves.

In fact, they did.

In 2004, the parliament passed a law changing the Marriage Act to specifically exclude us. It defines marriage as between a man and a woman. Only 13 years ago they changed it, without any need for public consultation.

If a marriage equality bill was put to parliament today, with all members free to vote their conscience, not along party lines, it would pass.

Polling has been done. Australia is 75% in favour of marriage equality.

The government tried to put it to public vote, but the opposition parties wouldn’t allow it, on the basis that it would be an expensive process that was not binding on parliament, and that it would mean anti-equality campaigners would be given a platform to denigrate and abuse queer people in the public forum.

The other parties demanded a free vote in parliament.

Members of the Government demanded a free vote in parliament.

But nope.

Instead of a regular vote-in-person plebiscite, we get a “Postal Plebiscite” - a non-binding vote, not subject to electoral law, that deliberately disenfranchises young people, people without a fixed postal address and Indigenous Australians - and loads of others.

Oh! And guess what - if the result is a “No” to ME, the Government will consider the matter resolved and no bill will be put to parliament. If it’s a “Yes” result, it will not be binding - essentially, the result only counts if it’s a “No”.

And that. That pisses me off.

But you know what I’m really furious about? Why I rage posted earlier? Prepare yourself before you click the link below. If you are likely to be triggered by slurs, and queerphobic words and imagery, do not look, friend.

I live in a country where the Prime Minister called THIS a necessary part of democratic debate.
