My Chinese class tonight had us translating the characters rather than the phonetic versions and I did not terribly!

This sequence of posts sums it up, really. Men are the problem - cis men, who don’t need to change anything about themselves to do harm - but trans people are the scapegoat because tackling men would require a total dismantling of societal structure.

It wouldn't have exactly impeded Leto's performance to keep him hidden behind CGI the entire time.

I bet its suggestions were also the most basic stuff, like "go to the beach" or "enjoy yourself."

In 2008, Hannah Montana was a mega-hit for Disney that introduced to the world a young talent named Miley Cyrus. Vanity Fair covered the story but it was a highly controversial photo that grabbed the headlines.

I wrote about it for the Gossip Reading Club!

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

They want their 500 year old vampires to forever look 25. Seems unimaginative to me.

It's so funny watching certain corners of the IWTV fandom be ageist about Daniel/Armand when Assad Zaman has been bellowing from the rooftops for years that he is dying to get his hands on that old man.

"Daddy to Daniel" and they both laugh and Eric Bogosian blushes when Assad says he likes that 😂

Me and a friend once co-wrote a romance novel and published it under a pseudonym (and a photo of my sister.) We made about £250 each off it but I wouldn't say the book was our greatest work.

They banned A Clockwork Orange, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Wicked, Crank and many more because free minds scare them.

So read louder.
Share harder.

Pass the stories they’re desperate to erase.
Rebellion starts on the page.

At the very least, surely this stunt is legally iffy? The branding looks a lot like some very popular protein bars so you just know some lawyers are being called.

Everything this dude says or does just confirms my suspicion that he's got seriously disordered eating but can't separate it from his brand. He said he "relapsed" from sugar by eating a Jaffa Cake!

My friend literally wrote the book on John Boorman so I made this for him during lockdown.
