First off, the Catalan language is recognized as an official separate language by the Spanish government.

It's because they went for a similar theme rather than direct translation. The name of the song (and by extension the first line of the chorus) in French means "Liberated, Delivered" and in Japanese it's (kinda) "As I am" (the full line means "I'll show you as I truly am").

Most racist shit I've read in my life.

I don't get it. Beauty and the Beast has 3-5 better songs. This isn't even in the top 10 of Disney songs. What am I missing?

Why does this keep happening? Do they think that if they keep doing it it'll eventually become less racist?

Waaaaaat. "erotic anti-feminist cat memes" ???!!!

There is no aspect of the story that is not heartbreaking: this woman epitomizes how difficult it is to claw your way out of crippling poverty and the many "damned if you do, damned if you don't" choices one has to make in doing so. Her children were in real danger. Very real, very serious danger, and that should not

This. I've met several people who seem to romanticise being trans. And I'm just like... No. Please no. Go away.

This reminds of something a colleague of mine said about her sister; the colleague, "A" had just had a baby, and her sister "C" said something to the effect that "After x number of hours of labour, I am an aunt". Not "my sister had a baby after x number of hours of labour".

Yeah... it's like saying "I have always felt a strong and emotional connection to members of the black community. It was actually a huge disappointment for me, when I looked in the mirror and saw I was white." I like Dunham's TV series, I think she's a great director, but holy crap, way to hijack someone else's

It also troubles me immensely when someone of a privileged group romanticizes membership in a marginalized group. It usually occurs in those who misguidedly believe that just being black or gay or whatever automatically makes a person different and therefore interesting. And if there was any room for doubt, yes, I'm

I'm pretty anti-crotch-grabbing. For anyone.

I have always felt a strong and emotional connection to members of the LGBTQ community. It was actually a huge disappointment for me, when I came of age and realized that I was sexually attracted to men. So when my sister came out, Ithought, Thank God, someone in this family can truly represent my passions and

That's why I could never be an actor.

She got a haircut. Move over, Stonewall riots.

Story time: a fuckbuddy of mine was running for Congress here in my country last year. I barely ever use Twitter, but I wrote a supporting message once and the people in charge of his campaign retweeted it. Something like two hours later I got this email from a woman claiming to be his girlfriend for the past ten

If I see one more inspirational quote tacked onto a picture of a sunset I'm going to hang myself.
