mapoftheproblematique--deactiva asked: Saying that this guy is overweight was a simple statement. I mean, I'm overweight too. Hence why some people wouldn't be attracted to me. How am I conforming to some unrealistic standard when all I want is a healthy-looking guy? Jesus.

Every day, I hear about, “Real Americans,” and how this is the, “Greatest country in the world,” and all kinds of jingoistic flag-waving, ignorant crap.
Real Americans: Performed experiments on people against their will or without their consent, often unto death. Including on BABIES.
The Greatest Country in the World: Financed these experiments, conducted them, and hid...

Dear GOP, Go eat a fucking wasp's nest. Seriously.... →
In a stellar have-his-cake-and-eat-it-too, move, Rick Lazio has decided to both pander to those who insist that the Muslim community center, (the not-mosque,) located in Tribeca, blocks away from the former site of the WTCs, (not-ground zero,) by feeding into the frenzy of anti-Muslim sentiment AND USING footage of first responders from 9/11 against their wishes.
Sleazoid fuckery from the GOP...

Read the whole link, it’s really good and really important, but I wanted to point out the quote because it unravels the specious argument that binary-identified transpeople perpetuate the binary. The binary perpetuates itself and people who live...

Sadly, I actually DO all of those damn things, and it exhausts me, and I go to bed at like, 9:30pm, and feel very, very boring because of it.
I fucking hate being an adult. About the only good thing is that people take me seriously instead of patting me on the head and pinching my cheeks the way they did when I was 12.
AND I WAS TALLER THAN THEM. They had to REACH UP to pat...

If you thought BP was evil before, brace yourself →
(link via @geekgirldiva)
Note: I’d like a lot more verifiable information in this, and photos would help. However, since BP effectively locked down all access, that may be hard to come by.
I’ve said from pretty much day one: Putting criminals in charge of the crime scene, and allowing them to deny access to a free press, is some of the biggest failfuckery possible.
This is the...
