i didn’t know how much i needed andy samberg and seth meyers poking fun at john mulaneys speech pattern but now i don’t know how i lived without it (x)
The truth hurts so much, but it cannot be denied - 2 minutes after you leave my line of sight, I have no idea who you are, you’re just another arm I’ve stabbed with a needle
Dude was trans, and pioneered a lot of gynecology. Turns out there’s a movie currently being made about him, except:
Hmm.
Hmm.
HMM.
this crosses the line of plausibly deniable ignorance and careens straight into the territory of intentionally erasing our stories and our history.
im still on this actually. doctor barry’s personal notes and journals describe him feeling what we would now be able to easily identify as dysphoria and he did not work as hard as he did to be recognized as a man just to be played by a cis actress and have everything he did written off as “a woman pretending to be a man.” between this and the narrowly avoided disaster that would have been rub and tug, hollywood seems to be systematically dismantling the history of trans people and erasing our heroes, saying that the whole time, they really were just their agab. you know, the same thing that has been said about every trans person throughout history.
give this the same uproar that rub and tug got. don’t let this rest until everything about this movie is either scrapped or changed. do not let a million cis people’s introduction to doctor barry be that he was a woman when he spent so much of his life escaping that very perception.
but I would like to point out this is not just about this money, this is not just about the wall, this shutdown and this protesting against the wall is a statement against trump’s white supremacy.
The reason people are fighting it is because the fear-mongering alone is damaging to relations between people. It’s a statement of hate, and to reduce it to just a cost thing is to ignore why trump wants the wall in the first place
this isn’t representative of the people, this is a representation of the white supremacists that govern our country despite not winning the people’s vote.
they continue to make laws and structures that terrorize people
In fact, pretty much everything the GOP does is against the will of the people.
Most Americans support Obamacare, yet the GOP has repeatedly tried to overturn it.
Most support Net Neutrality, yet the GOP overturned it.
Even most gun owners believe we need better gun control regulations and don’t belong to the NRA, yet the GOP is busy sucking the NRA’s collective dicks.
When polled, most Americans are overwhelmingly in favor of most of the social welfare programs that the GOP devotes their time to trying to abolish.
Most support Mueller’s investigation, yet we all know how Trump and co. feel about that shit.
Most were opposed to the tax cuts and think we should do something about global warming.
And like you said, most Americans don’t want Trump’s fucking wall and want him to stop holding the country hostage to get it. Numerous news articles from people ACTUALLY living in these so-called besieged border towns have basically said we don’t want this wall nor do we need this wall.
If any of you were holding onto the idea that we live in a democracy, you should really let go of it.
This is why Pelosi knows she can’t cave in at any cost. If Trump wins this, it sets a precedent that any president, no matter which party, will use to hold the country hostage in order to get their way. It has to end here or it will never end.
My aunt’s cat is very shy and hides when there are guests in her house. She semi-trusts my parents and will at least be in the same room as them. Tonight, my dad made some progress:
me holding a gun to a mushroom: tell me the name of god you fungal piece of shit
mushroom: can you feel your heart burning? can you feel the struggle within? the fear within me is beyond anything your soul can make. you cannot kill me in a way that matters
me cocking the gun, tears streaming down my face: I’M NOT FUCKING SCARED OF YOU
