A TIME TO BE SO SMALL - A STAGED READING
On June 24th, Lobster Flip Productions will be hosting a staged reading for a new LGBT play in New York City!
John Logan and Claude Landsberg are estranged former detectives who reunite to track down a serial killer from their past, while simultaneously trying to run away from their own past together. A homoerotic deconstruction of the buddy cop genre, this is a one-time staged reading of a new play from Jackie Forbes, writer and creator of the web series “J.M. Nells” and “Letters to Quentin”. All profits made from this reading will be donated to Services & Advocacy for GLBT Elders (SAGE). Tickets at the door will cost $10, so save 30% by buying your tickets on Eventbrite!

What does white male privilege look like in this country? Imagine this scenario: Hillary Clinton is president. It’s learned that she has deep ties to Putin. She puts utterly unqualified billionaires in cabinet posts. She puts her daughter Chelsea in a position of influence in the West Wing. And Chelsea’s husband is her chief advisor. She refuses to release any tax returns, she blocks access to the visitor logs in the White House and Bill refuses to live in the White House so our tax dollars are spent keeping him safe in Chappaqua. And Hillary spends almost every weekend lounging in a resort.
AND, in an interview, she names the wrong country she bombed while bragging about the chocolate cake she was eating while she ordered said bombing. I could go on and on. The point is that the outrage, the outcries, the screaming by Republicans would be heard around the world and impeachment proceedings would already be underway.
By the way, this is not about political party affiliation at all. Let’s face it, if Hillary–or any woman candidate–had five children from three husbands she would never have survived the primary.

ok this is “earring magic ken” who was introduced in 1992 (and discontinued shortly thereafter)
basically mattel had done a survey and discovered that girls didn’t think ken was “cool” enough
SO someone had the bright idea to research coolness by sending people to raves which, at the time, were mostly hosted & attended by gay men. so they went to these raves and took notes on what the fashions were and finally landed on this outfit, mesh shirt & all
this doll became the best selling ken doll in history, mostly because gay men bought it in droves. (many of them said his necklace was supposed to be a cockring) but mattel and a number of parents weren’t very amused and discontinued the doll

does no one realize that robin hood was a terrible role model for young kids? i mean you are stealing from people (illegal) and those people (usually) worked hard to get their wealth. it really demotivates people to succeed when they know they can get something someone else worked for.

is this what rich people worry about lmao

who knew the sheriff of nottingham had a blog
How does someone read Robin Hood and miss the part where it’s set in feudal England. He stole from people who got their wealth by exploiting the poor, incidentally that’s all rich people to this very day.
Tune in next week when they tell you the story of Ebeneezer Scrooge, a benevolent job creator, harassed during his sleeping hours by the hellish socialist dead.
When you’re depressed (or anxious, or triggered), staying in all weekend, not answering the phone, binge-watching TV, and not getting dressed sounds great. It might even sound like “self-care.” And aspects of it can be self-care. But self-care is not just about soothing yourself in the moment, it’s about setting up the supports and structures that let you be okay enough in your day-to-day life. So while depression says “let’s watch Buffy instead of doing the laundry” the reality is that tomorrow you’re going to wake up to clothes everywhere, nothing clean, and one more thing you haven’t done–which will add to the guilt and shame that seem to come hand-in-hand with depression.
On the other hand, depression-challenging behaviours are hard and not fun in the moment, but set you up to a) have small victories (SO important when dealing with mental health issues), b) have some structure and routine in your life, and c) set up the support and structure to let you deal with the root of your issues or cope with issues that aren’t going away anytime soon.

#This website is bad for the mental health of young people honestly#all social media is but this one in particular#The tone and attitude of this website is so unbelievably damaging I could literally write a dissertation on it#you think you’re progressive but actually this website is one of the most oppressive environments#you can’t have any opinion without immediately being attacked for it#regardless of what the opinion is; liberal or conservative or moderate#it literally doesn’t matter where your opinion falls#on this website your opinion is wrong and you’re an asshole for having it#even the attempts at social justice on here are questionable bc so many of u only know what this website has told you#and it’s so unbelievably polarising in its messages#social justice on here is extremist in its tone #and it’s just#so damaging to the way people think and feel and behave#and so many people spend significant portions of their life on here and this becomes their reality#but it’s not real it’s all a hyper inflated version of reality#u need to log off and check in with the real world away from this site#if ur offended by this ur exactly the person this post was targeted to
lordhellebore
In conclusion: tumblr is far far better at “normalising abuse” than any fictional story could ever be.
