ugh so heads up to anyone who goes to see This Is The End: it’s pretty much a two-hour rape and violence-against-women joke. Explanation under the cut, massive TW for rape and violence.

Signal boosting as I’m sure many people…

Fuck. I was just going to watch Emma’s scenes once they were up on YouTube since she looks pretty cute in it, but Fuck.

Sometimes we’re on a collision course, and we just don’t know it. Whether it’s by accident or by design, there’s not a thing we can do about it.

Fuck special snowflakes who think like this.

Gurl bye

Your ass ain’t fucking special because you don’t wear makeup.

You’re not fucking better than the woman with large breasts who wears tank tops.

You’re a piece of shit because you are putting sexist stereotypes onto other women in some anti-feminine bullshit.

If you don’t like it, why’d you comment on it? I think it’s awesome and you’re probably one of the girls up there that wears makeup and shortshorts and tiny tanktops. And most kids today wear makeup because they think they aren’t pretty and need it. So deal with it. And get over yourself.

girl bye.

lemme tell you something: I wear tons of fucking make up. I wear short dresses. I walk around with a face that looks about as fake as it can get outside of a fucking barbie doll. and I like it that way. and, despite what you seem to think, no, it’s not because i think i’m ugly. i just fucking like makeup (and trust, i’ve spent years examining my own motivations and how they’re tied to internalized self-hated, fatphobia and misogyny so don’t EVEN cause you don’t know what you’re talking about).

I also read ravenously; engage in discourse regarding philosphy, art, economics, politics, race, gender, sexuality; make subversive art; and love comics and film and music. I’M A FUCKING PERSON IS WHAT I’M SAYING.

like how fucking deep is this goddamn image when the spine of the book JUST SAYS THE WORD ‘BOOK’.

this kind of bullshit narrative, other than furthering a misogynistic dichotomy that pits women against each other, is also a complete fucking fallacy. A huge majority of average women DON’T DO THIS. you aren’t the lone plain jane in an army of cake-faced, bottle blonde barbies—if you look around, you’ll see that most women just throw on jeans and tops and very little makeup.

I get that this kind of shit is an attempt to fight back against media-made images of what womanhood is supposed to be. I get it. (thought isn’t it interesting that the “weirdo” in the picture is still thin and conventionally attractive??)

but attacking other women who you perceive as being stupid or carbon copies because of their fucking appearance doesn’t fight back against shit. it actually does EXACTLY what the patriarchy wants us to do—engenders more hatred and competition between women.

but you know, whatever, continue to think you’re so goddamn special. i’ll be over here reading AND wearing hot pink lipstick and having a hell of a time doing it.

isawamberinyoureyes:

“What was it that made this human love so much more desirable to me than the love of my own kind? Was it because it was exclusive and capricious? The souls offered love and acceptance to all. Did I crave a greater challenge?…Or was it simply better somehow? Because these humans hate with so much fury, was the other end of the spectrum that they could love with more heart and zeal and fire?”

“There’s that old saying: the devil’s greatest trick is that he convinced people that he doesn’t exist. Well, white supremacy’s greatest trick is that it has convinced people that, if it exists at all, it exists always in other people, never in us.”

TW: Rape

thewaroffivequeens:

Everyone, please be warned that there is an extremely graphic photoset circulating tumblr of an Iraqi girl being gang-raped by American soldiers.

Shame on tumblr user androphilia for posting those photos to tumblr without even so much as a cut and a warning for graphic imagery, and shame on the people who are reblogging it. Show some more respect to the victim and to the rape survivors on tumblr.

Come back someday. Come and deliver us all.

I spent way more time on this than originally planned, but what can I say. I was having fun. I really enjoy drawing Toon-Tennant. Haha. I should just make him barge into a bunch of other fandoms. In fact, I might.

YA Books About Transgender Characters

There haven’t been a lot of young adult books published about transgender characters. This list is not meant to be a “best of” list — it is simply a list of the titles that we are aware of, and we are sure there are more we aren’t aware of. This list is limited to titles published specifically for a young adult audience, which means titles published for adults that teens might still enjoy aren’t included.

I am J by Cris Beam (Little, Brown)

One in Every Crowd by Ivan E. Coyote (Arsenal Pulp)

Beautiful Music for Ugly Children by Kirstin Cronn-Mills (Flux)

Happy Families by Tanita S. Davis (Knopf)

f2m: the boy within by Hazel Edwards and Ryan Kennedy (Ford Street Publishing, Australia)

Being Emily by Rachel Gold (Bella Books)

Jumpstart the World by Catherine Ryan Hyde (Knopf)

Almost Perfect by Brian Katcher (Delacorte)

Luna by Julie Anne Peters (Little, Brown)

Parrotfish by Ellen Wittlinger (Simon & Schuster)

Do you have a favorite YA book about a transgender character? Please tell us why you loved it!

I want to give special shout-outs to Luna and Parrotfish, two of my favorite YA novels.

I’d also add that Every Day by David Levithan is, in a way, a really good book about a non-binary character. Part of what makes A and Rhiannon’s love story so unique and compelling is that it exists outside of binary constructions of gender and sex identity.
