Let me tell you a story:
- non-disabled people: I've never met you before; can you have sex?
- non-disabled people: But how do you have sex? Will you draw me a diagram?
- non-disabled people: Wow you're so gross and unusual, I think I'll post your picture on facebook without your permission, and people will admire me for being a Good Person
- non-disabled people: Here, let me touch you and violate your personal space without permission.
- non-disabled people: Do you need help? No? Ok let me help you.
- non-disabled people: Differently Abled
- non-disabled people: "The only disability in life is a bad attitude"
- non-disabled people: I'm taking disability studies this year. Let me tell you all about disability, and how you should feel about it.
- non-disabled people: Disabled people should not want to have sex, because it offends me on a personal level and I believe that I have the right to dictate what other people do with their lives.
- non-disabled people: But I have a disabled friend
- non-disabled people: But I have a disabled child (...that I'm probably abusing)
- non-disabled people: Disabled people are not productive members of society; they don't have a right to live.
- non-disabled people: I broke my foot once, I understand.
- non-disabled people: If I were you, I would want to be dead. You're so inspiring.
- non-disabled people: Why are you so angry all the time?
- non-disabled people: Why do you have a crowbar?

Anyway everyone should read this
Note that it says edited by… not written by.
It’s all primary sources, from Hume to Bacon, to be read on their own merits.
Oh shit. I need this in my arsenal. This is why we so often (rightly) call you racist when you are “just being reasonable!!!1!” Your concepts of reason, logic, nature, justice, HUMANITY etc. are all PROFOUNDLY racist and fundamentally antiblack.

Brian broke up with me.
THE BARTENDER?
Mixologist. He prefers to be called a mixologist.
SO … BARTENDER.
Yeah. Sorry. I guess I don’t ever have to use that word again. My bartender boyfriend left me for some other girl.
WELL THEN HE’S AN IDIOT, AND A CHEATER.
Infidelitist.
… WHAT?
Oh my god that cheating asshole.
Brian was obviously an English major.

Entertainment Weekly The Princess Bride Reunion (2011)
I’m just so happy Cary got less weird looking after Georgia Rule. He made me cry in that movie, because he used to be so hot.
LOVE!

”Only hang around people that are positive and make you feel good. Anybody who doesn’t make you feel good, kick them to the curb. And the earlier you start in your life the better. The minute anybody makes you feel weird and non-included or not supported, you know, either beat it or tell them to beat it.

AAAAAHHHHH!!! FEELINGS!!!
Okay. One afternoon of conversation with a perfect stranger just uncovered a whole mess of shit that 20 years of therapy barely scraped the surface of.
Mind.
Officially.
Blown.

“Your wails of soul-rending anguish are not in keeping with spirit of civil discourse!”
You don’t walk up to a man on fire and say, “Excuse me sir, your screaming is quite uncivil, would you please moderate your voice? It’s giving me quite the headache.” On second thought, seeing the bullshit POC here on tumblr have had to wade through tonight, I’m not so sure.
Jesus fucking Christ, fellow White people, what the mother of fuck?

It’s from the closing credits of the the second part of the cult episode. and it’s transcendent.

Saturday Night Live; March 10, 2012
I laughed. I cried. I squeed.
The world needs more Stefon.
Man, those SNL dudes sure do love to make out with each other.
Is it weird that two dudes kissing is considered comedy? I’m not knocking it, it’s just kinda interesting to me that typically the only time a kiss is played for laughs is when it’s two straight dudes.
I think it’s just another example of the (heterosexual) male gaze—but instead of over-sexualizing the female subject, here (and in similar comedy bits) it attempts to de-sexualize and render ridiculous the homoerotic male subject. (I say “attempts,” since I found this sketch both funny and hot).
