It’s the BEST when this happens.

Nothing beats the feeling when you start getting comments on every fic in a fandom or ship from one person, and it’s clear that they’re going on a fic-binge.

The inherent fucking racism/xenophobia in the “Save Christmas” rhetoric????? They imposed lockdowns twice right before Eid, countless Hindu, Jewish, Buddhist and more holidays went by in lockdown and now that its Christmas it’s somehow more important? People out there telling all of us that our holidays and religions don’t matter and we have to step up for society (which we did btw) are now going “oh no not Christmas whatever will we do??” Now that it’s YOUR holiday you finally pay attention? Fuck off. We could have been careful and ended this months ago but y’all decided to play around until it came to Christmas. The government deciding to not give a shit about Eid but decide to “protect Christmas” tells you everything you need to know.

As another Twitter user put it, “I did not have ‘nuanced political analysis from Edward Norton’ on my bingo card, but here we are.”

Truth vs. Twilight

In collaboration with the Quileute Tribe, this site seeks to inform Twilight fans, parents, teachers, and others about the real Quileute culture, which indeed has a wolf origin story, a historic relationship with the wolf as demonstrated in songs, stories, and various art forms, as well as a modern, multi-dimensional community with a sophisticated governance system. We also hope to offer a counter narrative to The Twilight Saga’s stereotypical representations of race, class, and gender, and offer resources for a more meaningful understanding of Native American life and cultures.

Nothing is funnier to me than all of Donald’s immediate neighbors unanimously going “you’re fucking intolerable, goodbye”

I want to mourn her death. I want to honor her. I want to pay tribute to who she was as a woman, as a mother, as a lawyer, as a fighter, as a wife, as a justice, as a patriot. 

I want to mourn her and celebrate her and thank her for everything that she did, all the decisions that she made that helped me grow up in an America where I was safe to pursue all the things I wanted. 

Instead the first emotion I felt wasn’t sadness, or humility, or solemnity. It was fear. Chill down the spine, tears in the eyes, heart racing, muscle clenching fear.  

And I will never forgive them for that.

Since many people seem not to be aware of Kamala Harris’ actual record on LGBT issues, or are getting their information solely from sources determined to distort it, I’d recommend looking at this thread on twitter, which has a lot of information with links and context. Some highlights:

-She refused to defend Prop 8 (ban on same sex marriage), officiated the first same-sex wedding after the ruling, and instructed clerks to marry same-sex couples seeking a license with “no exceptions” 

- In 2000, she opposed California Proposition 22, which stated that only marriages between a man and a woman are to be considered valid or recognized in California

- As AG, she refused to certify a CA “Kill the Gays” ballot initiative that would have (unconstitutionally) imposed the death penalty for “homosexual acts”

- In Congress she’s co-sponsored various pieces of pro-LGBT legislation, including the Equality Act, the Do No Harm Act, the Census Equality Act, the Gay and Trans Panic Defense Prohibition Act, and the Therapeutic Fraud Prevention Act to ban conversion therapy

- Her work on eliminating the ‘’gay and trans panic” defense goes back well over a decade. In 2006, as DA, she convened a national conference of prosecutors to undermine the “gay or trans panic” defense. Later, she co-sponsored a bill in CA Legislature to eliminate the “gay panic” defense in cases of murder or violent crime against LGBT people. The bill was signed in 2014, making California one of only 2 states in the country to ban the plea

-As AG, she filed briefs in favor of Obama administration guidance supporting transgender students, and against North Carolina’s anti-LGBT House Bill 2. As Senator, she signed an amicus brief before the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of transgender student Gavin Grimm’s case

The thread also discusses the litigation over SRS for transgender prison inmates, and includes a link to this article, which mentions that she learned about the appeal only by reading about it in the news (because her office has over 1000 DAs) and when she got involved, the process changed dramatically. “The California AG’s office shifted its handling of these cases significantly after now-Sen. Harris took over[…]initially there was language in briefing for the state that glaringly misunderstood the medical necessity of transition-related medical care and was patently offensive. But then, there was a dramatic change, which seems to have gone along with important policy shifts.”

“People aren’t affected by Trump anymore. They’re affected by reality. They are worried about the virus. They’re worried about their jobs. They’re worried that they can’t travel to visit their relatives. They’re worried about their rent and their mortgages. They’re worried about losing federal unemployment benefits, which ended this week. They’re worried about whether or not to send their children back to school. The things people have done to protect themselves aren’t working. Being a citizen of a red state doesn’t work. Living in suburbia rather than an inner city doesn’t work. Private schools are as vulnerable as public schools. Corporate jobs are as vulnerable as blue-collar or gig economy jobs. Graduating from Harvard won’t keep you from getting sick. Being a politician or a professional athlete or a famous entertainer won’t protect you. People want to know when they’re going to get their lives back, and Donald Trump doesn’t have an answer for them. What’s going to happen over the next 95 days? What’s happening right now gives us a pretty good answer. The virus is out of control and will continue to spread. Trump is desperate and will continue to act in increasingly unstable ways. He will reward his friends and use the levers of power, such as the Department of Justice, against his enemies. He will continue to act like a fascist because he is a fascist. Trump is losing it because he is losing. He doesn’t know anything else. It’s who he is.”

Everything we suspected about Donald Trump has come true
