you've all gotta stop acting like "overweight" is a gentle PC alternative for the word fat and not itself an assertion of the ontological wrongness of being large. Over What Weight Precisely

it's such a sadness to me that kids eventually lose that 'no filter' thing when they grow up. my niece asked what 9/11 is and someone explained it to her and her unfiltered conclusion was "bro. is that it"

The eyes are what got me.
Yesterday my wife, sister-in-law and I went to our usual karaoke spot. The spot famously doesn’t have Coke products but the near-by pizza place sells bottles the bar doesn’t mind us bringing in. And let’s be honest here: Coke is better than Pepsi.
And while we were there, a collection of clearly queer people were sitting at one of the tables. They were quiet, but one made plenty of noise without saying a word.
He was glaring at me, only me, with a burning anger I am all too familiar with. Every time I turned around, there he was, burning holes in my back.
My sister-in-law noticed, and confused, wasn’t sure quite what to say. Honestly I didn’t either.
When they finally left, we shared words about the experience, and Baruch Hashem for that, it made me feel not crazy.
It hurts.
It hurts to know that my brilliantly gold Magen David and my features (the nose, the hair, the beard, I can’t really be mistaken) make this experience unavoidable.
The antisemitism on the American left is out of control and in queer spaces in particular, pushes out queer Jews like me. This experience itself was far from the worst of it, and other Jews have attested as such. But it makes the warnings of my elders ring ever louder in my ears.
I am a staunch critic of Israel. A fierce advocate for peace. A union organizer. A husband. An artist. A scientist. An avid consumer of fiction. A skilled cook. A queer man.
But none of that was in his eyes.
I was just a Jew, even if he spelled it Zionist.

Realizations from a Gen Z lesbian…






Principal Perry from Disney’s Lab Rats was a lesbian caricature. She was an antagonist/anti-hero (think Principal Laritate from Wizards of Waverly Place and Mr. Moseby from The Suite Life) and a lot of the jokes about her revolve around her being unfeminine and her being single/wanting to be with men but unable to attract them.
I can’t find a good quality pic but she wore a tux in one episode.
