That archetype in the good old EssJay activist/advocate/etc community, the group that likes to play nice, educate educate educate and try to draw the privileged onto our side. What causes me the most trouble with them is their inclination to tell the folks that do activism a different way and…

I see you with your 5 o’clock shadows, your outfits held together with safety pins and strategically placed belts, your leather and your florals and the snarl on your faces and I can’t keep my heart from bursting.

So let me get this right.
Dan Savage:
- tells this girl a flat out gender essentialist lie about women’s sexuality being more fluid than men’s.
- says that he knows this lie to be true from his experience, which translates to “I know some women who said they were lesbians but they married men.” Never mind that this isn’t his experience, never mind that identifying as a lesbian has...

Hi Tumblr!
I’m currently working on my senior thesis, a critique of queer theory and queer studies that focuses on the ways in which these disciplines presume a singular queer person/experience, which ultimately centers white gay men and subsequently erases people of…

[TRIGGER WARNING for discussion of abusive parenting]

This is taking place at my school and I am furious. Under the American with Disabilities Act any school district (with the exception of a deaf school) that hires her will have to provide an interpreter.

spoons
distant-signals:
With your small legs tucked up tight against mine, the smooth skin of your back lapping like gentle waves against my lowest ribs in time with with your slow and easy breath, I of course think of spoons. The similarity in shape is an easy leap, but not the only one I make - I think of function, of purpose and of intent. Of this simple design but clever tool, the implement shaped...

1) There are endless, ENDLESS things that could go wrong with a CBS drama about Sherlock Holmes with Lucy Liu as Rule 63 Dr. Watson. From all the things that usually plague female characters and, especially, WoC characters in western entertainment to the show just being plain shitty.
2) None of these things is how now there won’t be pandering queer subtext. Literally...
