… I should probably pack.
And for your amusement, here is a page from the comic “Homosexuality: Legitimate, Alternate DEATHSTYLE” (http://www.ep.tc/problems/28/01.html).

i love you. stay sassy (and classy!)
Psh, classy? I mean, I popped my punching-a-total-stranger-in-the-face cherry this year so I feel like it can only go downhill from here XD.
And I love you too :-D <3
Edit: I should probably say intentional punching a stranger in the face....

A CAMAB friend of mine who’s glam-goth and wears skinny-jeans and makeup got the shit kicked out of him on the way home from work and the people who did it got a minor fine. I’ve had people on here and in real life tell me my gender ID doesn’t exist and that...
Assimilated? Is that a word people would use for the situation in that last ask?
It’s not the most empowering word in the world but the way I’m seeing “transethnic” used is like appropriating transgender narratives and that makes me uncomfortable as fuck.
Anonymous asked: I am transethnic - my parents are black and south asian and i have dark brown skin and was born in sri lanka, but i consider myself culturally white and not a person of color (though ppl seem to like to call me a "poc" without my consent) because even though legally socially and genetically i am assigned "not white", i ID as white, therefore transethnic. :)

I’m just now catching up on all of this, and my brain is SO full of what the fuck right now, you have no idea.

wait what. Is this people trying to identify as another race or ethnicity? Aaaaah no.
That’s my understanding. It’s brilliant - if you’re white you can have social justice cred without any of the actual racial and ethnic oppression!
*facepalm*
Please tell me “transethnic” isn’t a real thing.
Please?

At what point does someone become so problematic that nothing they say is legitimate? Can you divorce a good (or bad) idea from the person who said it?

There were people! And they seemed engaged! It was a little preaching to the choir but still a good group. Maybe this is a little sad for me to say but it’s exciting when men come and participate in discussions of rape culture.

DADT didn’t do shit to combat the military-industrial complex. It didn’t combat US militarism or stop any wars. It kicked lesbian women of color out of the military, disproportionately.

My mom terrified me for a second just now
She gave me this look like “we need to talk” so I went over to her and she said, with this super serious look and tone, “I’ve been meaning to ask you something all week.”
With that look I thought she was going to ask me if I had ever killed someone or something so I mentally tried to prep myself for what she might ask.

Microsoft Word constantly telling you that intersectionality, heteronormativity, and phallocentric are not real words.

My neighbors were having a Christmas party, so I went and got awkwardly drunk. A few people asked me about school, where I was thinking of going to grad school. This one guy started talking to me about Philly and goes:
“There are some really rough areas. The blacks are real trouble-makers. They should just gather up the...

Exactly this. A big part of why I wanted to enlist was that I was guaranteed a job when (black, trans) I wouldn’t otherwise be. Criticize the military-industrial complex, sure, but don’t criticize folks who are doing the best they can for themselves.
Argh, right? When I hear radical queers talk about how...

I think it was coherent! I admit, when everyone was celebrating DADT being repealed, I was like great, more people can be in the military, barf. I had just started thinking about my privilege and didn’t get it. Your criticism is spot on, I think.
Yeah I mean in practice I don’t think more people are...

My brother's puppy (again)
I’m sure many of you have heard way too much about my brother’s shih tzu puppy, the adorable River (named after River Tam, naturally).
Well now my family is trickling in for Christmas and most of them (except my brother and I?) have accents so they keep saying River like “Reaver.” Which makes me chuckle.
