The Glass Girl From Outer Space

You will have to listen to 2-3 minutes of blatant lies and propaganda, but it’s worth it to tell this monster that he’s got it all wrong on ACA.

Reblog this if your blog is a safe haven for ALL non-white, disabled, trans, queer, and/or women, and your ask box is open to anyone who needs it tonight, or anytime, for the next few years.

THE LOOK ON MY PRESIDENTS FACE

OH MY GOD CAN WE PLS KEEP HIM

i just want to be a stereotypical fall gay and wear doc martens and sweaters and drink hot drinks and carve pumpkins and watch horror movies with my gf

i feel like ‘passing privilege’ is a term that needs to be replaced by ‘conditional acceptance’ and i want to write about it but i just don’t have the spoons

My family calls it ‘probationary privilege’– like, you can be accepted into the privileged group as long as you ‘know your place’ and act according to their standards and gloss over your actual identity/experiences.

For my fellow bisexuals, trans folxs, Ashkenazi Jews, white Muslims, biracial or multiracial folks….

#probationary privilege#thank you for putting what i’ve been feeling for years into words#remember this#it’s terrifying as if you’re in an never ending ‘test’ and you don’t exactly know what’ll happen if you ‘fail’ but you’re darn certain#you don’t want to find out#or that could be my anxiety talking

Finally, a term that encompasses the fear I feel should I ever present as anything other than the straight cis woman everyone presumes me to be.

Preach!

I’ve been ready for October since last October

Go full on Xena. All of history happened at the same time. Get your legs broken by Caesar and find out Lao Tzu didn’t write that book, his wife did, and she hitting on you…all 10 years before you go meet up with Helen at Troy. Fight with Beowulf and commission Sappho within a few months of each other. Abraham and Issac? Only like 2 years before Jesus. Invent CPR and the kite during the bronze age. Watch your gal pal teach Homer how to be a better bard. Have a fucking battle of the bands in Ancient Greece. TIME IS MEANINGLESS.

Go Full On Xena

Look, I think that’s just good life advice: When in doubt, just Go Full On Xena.

Well, it worked for me.

Yea it’s clearly our “generation that’s making homosexuality a trend.” Seriously, pisses me off when people say that. look at this! It’s always been around, it’s not a trend, it’s real. It’s beautiful.

These are really beautiful images.

History Lesson: In America from about 1700-1920 there was a social rule that said that women did not have a sex drive. According to men, all women ever were asexual and only ever had sex because their husbands wanted it and as a good doting wife they would open up for him. That said, lesbians flourished in this time! Because it was believed that women did not have sex, when two women would share a house and finances together (called a Boston Marriage, look it up!) nobody thought anything of it. Because clearly they werent homosexuals since clearly women were incapable of being independently sexual. The more you know!

<3 VINTAGE LESBIAN HISTORY <3

“communist countries have propaganda everywhere!!” meanwhile in the us there’s an american flag within every square mile, kids pledge their allegiance to that flag every day at school, and the us military attempts to recruit people before theyve reached the age of 13

i told my dad about the pledge of allegiance and he said this sort of shit wouldn’t fly even at his old school and he did kinda grow up in communist poland so like

and in texas we have a SECOND pledge we have to say every morning because we also need to pledge to the flag of texas (just in case we secede again) 

wait what the fuck texas

Uh, I remember taking the Indiana History class in elementary school. Is that not a thing in each state?

I definitely had to learn Michigan history in school, though it wasn’t a separate class, just a couple weeks out of US history.

Tennessee History, 8th Grade

California history was like 4th grade. And some of 3rd

North Carolina, yup history in 4th grade. We all had to make powerpoints and do tons of other bullshit. I hate this state with a passion.

Missouri…I know they did when my mom was in school…but the most I had to do was a short unit one year in elementary school and some Missouri-specific facts during the Civil War unit. They were surprisingly good at reminding us we’d been a slave state. 

Kansas. 7th grade history was Kansas History.

Massachusetts, but a big amount of American history involves our state history too, so I don’t remember ever really having separate time spent on it.

Texas History (7th grade, btw) kind of ignores the rest of America and assumes nothing important happened until we arrived, fresh from Mexico. Then left again. Then came back. And have been talking about leaving again ever since. Texas is like a bad ex.

Also after Texas history in middle school, I had a mandatory Texas government class in college for a Computer Science degree.
