Why do people consistently throw away precious hours of their life delivering well-reasoned arguments to assholes who aren’t listening anyway?

Conservatives: Free speech is under assault!

I agree with your reasoning. I don’t like either of them, and I do think it’s likely they’re both abusive. But the behaviour of Depp’s supporters is repulsive. You can disbelieve someone without being misogynistic to an insane degree.

“I soon discovered that we connected sexually in a way I’d never experienced.”

I was wondering why she thought it would be an issue (because I know and she has to know she is popular in gay and drag communities, but worrying about a well-paying regular corporate gig makes a lot more sense.

Good for her. She has been a sex symbol, and prop so long for a male dominated industry. She just shattered the male gaze and can use her celebrity to further rights for more women who are viewed as “vamps” to come out and be who they want to be.

Hmm, two ways to take that. First one: A is Asexual, not Ally. That’s the hopeful one, that you thought it was Ally and rightly though that didn’t count.

This only confirms my long running belief that Elvira is the real deal. She transcends the mere mortal pin-up lover of the weird and spooky but is truly the Mistress of the Dark and our hearts.

I’m very aware that there will be some who will be disappointed and maybe even angry

The fans that wouldn't accept this weren't fans to begin with.  She's happy, that's all that matters.  

We’ve sort of hit a point in queer discourse where B and P are entirely interchangeable anyhow. That’s not to say there aren’t reams of arguments about that hundreds of forums long, but ask a bi person and a pan person what they’re into, you’re usually gonna get two extremely close answers. I think a lot of people…

I’m all about QUILTBAG as an easy-to-remember, easy-to-say, all-encompassing acronym.

I was once charging something to a hotel room, and when the cashier (who was Indian) saw the very Indian name the room was under and I (who am rull white) explained it was my fiancee’s, she started quietly chanting “One of us! One of us!”

More like Tod Browning’s Freaks, whenever I find out someone I like is actually jewish I’m like ONE OF US ONE OF US

Fucking love this.

Awesome, great!

Also: from a Pierson to a Wierson? 

I wonder if her annual Halloween amusement park gig hosting “knotts scary farm” was a big factor in staying in the closet. I can imagine theme park execs being less than thrilled to have to deal with offended bigot parents.

Agree with sentiment (and the acknowledgement that the article is perfectly fine.) I’m not criticizing the article or the advice. But in practice it can sound like a too-common refrain:

For anything in written in the last hundred years my least favorite book is, “I’m an alienated modern middle to upper class (white) man, simultaneously propped up by and yet saddened by the very systems that were specifically designed to benefit me at the expense of all others. I harbor a secret self-loathing and despa…
