He's Even Got Hands!

The thing is nobody at pride is evaluating you to determine if you’re queer enough to be there because they’re too busy thinking “it’s so hot out” and “why is this lemonade 12 dollars?”

"Racialised" is much better than PoC but I've been leaning a lot on the concept of racial markedness. Because that allows us to make statements like "the name Jamal is racially marked in USA". Rather than saying something like "Jamal is a PoC name", a nonsense statement, saying it's racially marked in USA allows us to contrast with societies like Albania or the Arab countries where the name Jamal is ordinary, thus unmarked.

It's a concept I've kind of imported from linguistic analysis; saying a speech pattern is more or less marked does not really allow us to avoid the subject of who's doing the marking. A statement like "womens' speech is more marked in Lakota" necessitates that we understand that it's the Lakota who are marking womens' speech. A foreigner can't tell the difference and probably doesn't understand why it would thus be weird to see a man using speech patterns associated with women, in the same way an Albanian wouldn't understand why USA people would think Jamal is a Black name.

This one might be controversial but it must be said, Hikaru and Haruhi were cuter together than Haruhi and Tamaki. THE CHURCH EPISODE⁉️⁉️‼️ HELLOOO Tamaki should have gotten with Kyoya cause Kyoya was obv crushing on Tamaki.

This website is too mobile focused these days. Reblog and tell me what your desktop/laptop background is.

Girl help people in the notes are calling me rich and privileged for owning a computer.

Guys if your definition of wealth is "owning a computer" then I'm sorry but you're not ready for the revolution. Listen, when the lord of the land makes his subjects stand in the open rain, their enemy is not the man who wore a hat.

another fire ass line from a random ass tumblr post lets go

I will lock in tomorrow like nobody has ever locked in before

"Why does Superman have to be so built? Why is he so large?" "Why does he have to be so huge and imposing? Doesn't that look intimidating?" Um, bitch he's just cuddly and he needs big tits to protect his gentle heart?
