I finally caught up on Torchwood and Miracle Day is driving me up a wall.
Mostly because I don’t like most of the new people.
Danes for obvious reasons, though maybe they’re not so obvious because what the hell was the music playing during his speech in the hospital? Was it supposed to be uplifting because that’s what it sounded like to me and it was really gross.

Alternative title: “why most rapists aren’t any kind of ‘mentally deficient’ and you’re a fucking asshole”
[Trigger warning: rape, victim-blaming, slurs for people with mental illness]
It’s especially ironic that the same act can be construed as a manifestation of mental illness or just a perfectly normal reaction, depending on who the perpetrator is.

"Baby, you were born this way"...or maybe not....
et-tu-dionyse:
I never understood the point of saying you were “born this way.” It’s like, so if being gay as the forth of July was a choice then it’d be all right to discriminate? I just…don’t see it that way.
I do think I was born a flaming little queer. I knew something was up when I was four years old and wanted to hold my best female friend’s hand the same way I wanted to hold the hand of...

Gah more on pathologizing bigotry.
pocketfullofpoesy:
Seriously? This isn’t about words. This isn’t about “-phobia” words (homophobia, islamophobia, etc). This is about the attitude that usually follows their use.
This is about how people’s first instinct, when someone creates a hate crime, is to say they’re “crazy”, they “need help”, they’re “sick”. When you do this, in one fell swoop, you manage to both lift some of the...

oh god, my laptop is literally coming apart. the glass (?) thing on the front of the screen is coming off. I had the screen leaning forward and it was hanging. I’ve had this thing for about 5 or 6 years but ugh I don’t want to deal with this.
though it’d be really cool to get a new one since this thing can’t play dvds/cds anymore. but still, what a pain. my dad’s...

had another appointment with my psych (tw for skin picking)
and a week or so ago I had an appt with my therapist during which I told her about the med thing and she too was confused about why lamictal. so during this appt I told my psych I was confused and she said she does not think I’m bipolar and that lamictal is used off label as an add on for anxiety.
I’m trying to believe her...

Apparently my supervisor and coworkers were fine with it, but the HR representative, who I never even got to meet, was not.
They first had the person from my staffing agency contact me (instead of speaking to me personally) requesting that I not use the correct bathroom, because I might make people uncomfortable. When I asked him to please find out if there...

If I choose to make porn (which I am choosing to do, incidentally), or if I choose to be an escort (which I did, once upon a time), I am not ‘selling myself’. I am not for sale. My body, my mind, my personality… these things are not for sale. What is for sale, is the option to look at my body, or interact with it. If I fuck somebody, or somebody takes a naked picture of me,...

Gays against Gaga: A note from a reader

somedayimightdie:
I doubt you’ll accept this post but really, this is too much. Lady Gaga is said to be a gay superstar not because she is said to be gay, but because she represents them. And for you to be turning down support from someone with such a big name is fucking stupid. Consider this: even if you don’t like her...
