Today the cat and I learned that a drinking straw can be statically charged to stick to his back. Hilarious.
Hey people that know a lot about dying hair!

I’ve got dark brown/black hair, and I’ve been waiting for it to get longer to do some blue streaks in the underneath layers on the sides. I already have the blue dye, but I know since my hair is so dark I’ll have to bleach it first. What type of bleach is best for that purpose?
Depending on if you have access to professional products or not, I like Goldwell bleach....

Black Mother Jailed For Sending Kids to White School District
An Ohio mother of two was sentenced to 10 days in jail and placed on three years probation after sending her kids to a school district in which they did not live. Kelly Williams-Bolar was sentenced by Judge Patricia Cosgrove on Tuesday and will begin serving her sentence...

Let Us Say This Again, and With Clarity:
sadydoyle:
It does not matter whether the man who shot Giffords was schizophrenic. There are a lot of schizophrenics who don’t shoot people!
What matters is this: That if you create a culture of violence, if you inflame anger (that’s fine to do, and often necessary!) and direct it toward specific targets (that’s fine to do, and often necessary!) and then point people in the direction of...

Oh sorry for upsetting the bunch of people who just unfollowed me for suggesting that PERHAPS the shooting is not ALL ABOUT YOU.
I almost always assume “some people” refers to me in some way, whether that’s justified or not, but I’m not about to unfollow someone who I always enjoy reading and who makes me laugh because I think they disagree with a post or opinion...

On calling out and being called out.
thefeministhub:
Slurs are a major part of modern language. The list is endless: ableist, sexist, religious, racial; no word is to offensive to use. Some of the most common slurs I hear include:
Gay Fag Retard Tranny As an activist, I find myself dedicating a lot of time to calling people out for using slurs in their everyday language and I’m sure you can all relate. The problem is that people...
Tumblr cares more about ableism and gender issues...

noumenology:
seriously, every time I log on here, I see people talking about fucking first-world problems and how whether or not calling someone insane is abelist or whether because its a mental disability versus a physical one and people who don’t understand basic definitions combined with lots of mad pride, genderqueer definitions and indepth examiniations of every...
Some thoughts on the shooting today
rabbleprochoice:
I know this doesn’t have to do with abortion rights. I get that some of you may be bothered by that but I’m an American and I am disgusted with the events that have happened today.
Many of you pointed out in my previous post (the facebook screen cap, not the Q&A) that a real child died today. And you are absolutely correct and I wanted to make sure I reminded people of...

kiriamaya asked: Hi. I'm the original author of that "enough" post, and I am autistic too. I just saw your response, and I hope I didn't word my post in a way that hurt you. If I did, I apologize.
I'm in love with Richard Ayoade
Me too. I found everything after the first season of IT Crowd to be disappointing, though—it was like they ran out of ridiculous situatonal comedy and had to resort to sexism, ableism, and some bonus sexism.
Enough.

kiriamaya:
It is not anti-feminist to talk about transphobia in feminist writings and spaces.
It is not transphobic to object when a trans woman mocks your disability.
It is not ableist to ask an autistic person to call you by the correct pronouns for you.
It is not rape-apologist to have misgivings about donating to an organization that partners with transphobic...

GET IN MY MOUTH
My retainer for my nostril piercing came in the mail today, and it’s so small I’m worried I’ll flat-out lose it. However, it is very good at doing its job.

I love it when you order stuff from me.
I loathe going to the post office.

Like, say, for example, Huck Finn?
I listened to Kurt Andersen’s (of NPR’s Studio 360) briefly interview Professor Allen Gribben, the editor of NewSouth Book’s edited version of Huck Finn. Professor Gribben maintained that:
* He wants the book to made more accessible because the book is banned in many places. The feedback he has received from audience members at his talks...

rabblewriter answered your question:Um… I thought it was pretty well-known that Jake G. was gay?
I’m pretty sure he identifies as bisexual.
Is that official? He’s out?
Color me mistaken.
This makes him about twenty times more attractive to me. Bi men are fabulous.

Monstrous Regiment is a wonderful, wonderful book. And sort of super gay, like all the best books are.

ENCHANTED IS ON ABCFAM. I LOVE THIS MOVIE.
So these weren’t the results I was expecting. Huh. I found this test really interesting because some of these questions are nearly identical to adult autism spectrum assessments, especially the AQ, designed by Simon Baron-Cohen. Baron-Cohen is sort of an ass who believes that autism is an example of “extreme male brain” (oh hi, gender essentialism) based on the idea that men are...

Dear Family,
I don’t give a fuck if you think tattoos are stupid and everyone you’ve ever met ever in the history of ever regrets theirs. I like mine, and it’s my skin.
Bite me!
