They removed bisexuals from the stonewall monument website. How long until the website is just “stonewall is something that happened. I guess” because they cut every group out.

In the midst of that amazing time in my life came the worst, and that was when my friends just started dropping dead. They were sick today and dead tomorrow. And when you would go to the hospital to look for you friend they would be out in the hallway on a gurney pushed up against a wall dying for help, dying for love, dying to be saved. And some of them with that sign on their gurney that said "do not touch". And they suffered, and people wanted to act like they weren't good people, kind people, wonderful people, somebody's son, somebody's daughter, somebody. // SHERYL LEE RALPH receiving the Human Rights Campaign's National Ally for Equality Award 2022.

here's the thing about the "almost every (white) kid goes thru a racist phase" logic
while you were doing that you were using it to dehumanize and harass POC. i went to elementary school from about 2002-2011 and other students called my mother the hard R to my face. any attempts i made to push back or defend my family was met with punishment by the white teachers and principle.
i went to highschool from 2011-2014 and while reading "american classics" in school had to sit there while the 20+ white kids in my english class were chomping at the bit to be the ones who read the foulest most racist lines aloud and the teacher saying "it's just the language that was used back then"
and so while you, white person, were on your "learning journey" you were perpetuating violence and hatred over and over, and doing it with a smile and a giggle while people like me and my family are expected to just put up with it and then forgive you when you "learn it was wrong". i was harassed by most of my school's gay-straight alliance for posting on my private facebook account that i was tired of only seeing YA movies with "sad white kids" (in regards the the john greene adaptations coming out at the time).
and after all that you expect us to just wipe the slate clean and trust you? no fucking way.

Tourists are fucking up the Giants Causeway in Ireland by wedging coins between the rocks which are then eroding and staining everything and in some cases causing the rocks to crack. For any Americans on here planning to visit Ireland: There is a mystical and ancient Irish tradition says that when you visit any of our places of natural beauty you should speak at a normal volume, leave no trace you were there and fuck off home. Tell your friends and family.
Stop ruining fucking everything.
#I think a good rule of thumb for nature or cities is leave it better than when you found it#One of the only places where it's cool to leave your mark is the Cadillac Ranch#That's the whole point of it#But if they say leave no trace they fucking mean it#Take a photo and pick up your trash#And if you gotta leave a penny somewhere go to a cemetary

Best Lois and Clark dynamic is two bozos who are good at their jobs, but horrible at feelings, but specifically their feelings about each other, and somehow the feelings, their jobs, and superhero bullshit all collide and they figure something out. They're both insane, never had a normal day in their lives, so it tracks that their relationship and its evolution proceeds to happen in the wildest manner ever. The most mundane thing to ever happen to them is waiting in line at Starbucks and they're having the most insane conversation about some episode of Psych, and anyone in the vicinity is deeply concerned but trying their best to mind their own damn business.

Watching Jurassic Park and I have Opinions on this place as a zoo. Feeding the predators live prey?? There's other ways to provide enrichment! Also that enclosure is way too small for multiple large animals like that! Electric fences? Ha! Electric fences won't stop a fucking goat! Where's the zoo experts? Who designed these enclosures?? Were all zoos this shitty in the 90s???
#The book really helps clarify some of the films points more#But it is interesting to note that while Hammond in the movie is vastly friendlier he does fixate on the theme park thing a lot#Note that he mentions Disneyland a few times#Usually in the sense of 'there were a lot of problems opening day'#Which yeah there were A LOT (too many to even list here. It's called Black Sunday in Disney Lore for a reason)#But like Disneyland's issues were vastly different because it was a theme park#And to paraphrase the movie a bit#If Pirates breaks down the animatronics don't eat the tourists#And that's where the flaw in the entire plan starts to become obvious#Hammond does recognize the dinosaurs as living creatures#But he doesn't recognize them as being exactly like any other animal in captivity#They don't perform on command#They do what they want on their shedule#He keeps repeating his line about sparing no expense without realizing he didn't hire people he actually needed#Jurassic World in a way ups the ante on this because they clearly have the people they need#But there's a certain higher level of arrogance involved than even in the orignal film#Because most of the characters forget the simple fact that its a zoo#not a theme park
