i love her

Remember, Debbie Reynolds was so much more than just Carrie’s mom. She was a beautiful, amazing, wickedly funny woman in her own right. She loved her daughter and she made her daughter who she was, but it is a disservice to her memory to shrink her down to just being Carrie’s mom.

Also, because it needs to be said, Debbie was a huge supporter of the mentally ill. She helped found The Thalians, a mental health charity in 1955 and served as chairwoman for the organization for fifty-six years. She was an amazing woman and will be missed.

AND she is the top witch bitch from Halloween Town and needs her good name spread during HER holiday.

Whoever made the decision to have Sex Education be set in modern times but have everyone dress like it's the 80s without any explanation whatsoever, thank you.

Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders’ exchange after the 7th Democratic presidential debate, now with audio. Transcript:

Warren: I think you called me a liar on national TV.
Sanders: What?
Warren:  I think you called me a liar on national TV.
Sanders: Let’s not do it right now. You want to have that discussion, we’ll have that discussion.
Warren: Anytime.
Sanders: You called me a liar, you told me—Alright, let’s not do it now.
Steyer: I don’t want to get in the middle of it—I just want to say hi Bernie.
Sanders: Yeah good, okay.

While I’m sure his politics are terrible, Steyer has surprisingly good comic timing. 

Sanders: You called me a liar, you told me—Alright, let’s not do it now.

Remember to do your research don’t just take the articles at face value.

It’s important all the time (and something we all fail at now and then) but it’s especially important with this kind of stuff.

foreshadowing done well makes me go feral like there’s NOTHING better than getting to the end a book or an important storyline moment and realising that the author laced information so intricately into their writing that weren’t noticeable upon first read but when you read back sections they’re light giant red flags like wow writing is amazing

the best stories contain two stories: the one you read the first time, and the one you read every time after that

[text: “Someone years ago said that cop cars in the UK are very visible and clearly marked so citizens can identify them when they need help. US cops do whatever they can to hide the fact that they’re a cop car because their purpose is to write tickets and generate revenue.”]

It’s crazy how the police force constantly does things like this designed to hide themselves and rule citizens with fear and then they cry about how everyone hates cops

i just saw someone completely seriously, without a hint of irony, refer to it as “Q-slur Eye” and my intestines started melting like so many Salvador Dalí clocks

I’ve seen “don’t call the show Qu**r Eye if you’re a cishet and can’t reclaim the q-slur” so nothing surprises me anymore.

“Don’t normalize this word that people fought really hard to normalize! Let it keep its oppressive power because I don’t understand queer history”

God I literally fucking hate this rhetoric. It’s exclusionary, gatekeepy, TERFy, and supports a totally revisionist queer history that erases so many marginalized people, especially people who are marginalized on multiple axes.

“LET IT KEEP ITS OPPRESSIVE POWER BECAUSE I DON’T UNDERSTAND QUEER HISTORY”

Wow that really sums it up.

I lived through the “take back the word queer” movement, so let me further sum it up

The entire point was to strip the word of the power to hurt us. We embraced it by refusing to be offended by it. We were saying “you can’t hurt us with that word, we now feel empowered when we hear it.” 

During this time I saw an interview with a gay man who’d been arrested while wearing a “We’re Here, We’re Queer, Get Used To It” t-shirt. He was put into a holding cell with other detainees who tried to verbally abuse him. They started out by calling him queer but after seeing his t-shirt, and him not reacting to that word, they started stumbling over their words trying to find a name to call him. They finally settled on repeatedly calling him a “sissy” which, by the late 90s, had become a very out-dated slur toward queer men and was a laughable effort by these hyper-masculine and sexist bullies

When they tried to call him a queer it had no power because embracing the word, no matter who said it, had taken away that power

tl;dr We took back the word Queer with the intent of it no longer having the power to hurt us, but people now calling it the Q-slur are giving power back to the people who hate us

i was talking to my coworker and mentioned my gf offhand and he looks at me and goes "oh well that makes sense" and when i was like whatchu mean, he said "i hope this doesnt come out the wrong way but people of your nature tend to speak about different things than straight ppl"

"???wait what do i talk about?"

"you know. smart things."

"...are you saying straight people are stupider?"

"honestly? yeah"
