I’d go with very sheltered religious school, probably Methodist given Duke’s prior affiliation. I was a fundie for a long time but decided that I couldn’t possibly mitigate my queerness for fundamentalist Christian ideology. Luckily my current uni’s religious affiliation is far more tolerant of LGBT+ individuals.

Yeah, I’m from Alabama and our urban dictionary definition is just too real. When I moved to DC they all pointed to West Virginia.

How did this kid graduate high school without reading a book that in some way/shape/form had even implied homosexuality? Ugh. I’m 90% angry at this constant fundie passive homophobia “for the Bible tells me so”, 10% salty because I didn’t get accepted into Duke tbh.

Even the most cunning of banner made by a woman to mock the frat bro would be snatched by Fox and turned in to “WAR ON MEN: THE (not-so) HIDDEN WORLD OF MISANDRY”. Ironically (?) the reporter would be a former fratstar. I feel like I’m bordering on fanfic.

Is Ohio the LCD of the Midwest? I’ve been conditioned my whole life to point the finger at Mississippi.

My uni guilted/threatened us into reading some boring ass drone of a memoir written by an alum my freshman year. This kid gets Alison Bechdel and acts as if it’s a negative. Usually the author does a workshop at the uni, so I’m jealous as hell. And if he hasn’t read the book, how does he know it has “graphic visual…

Lady Gaga is just returning her fashion to the earth, guys. It’s ARTPOP obv.

I guess I don’t want to admit that I am maybe but a few years older than those ol’ tweeter hooligans. Still, I can’t imagine not knowing Alanis (if that makes any sense).

I wouldn’t call him anything but a product/perpetuator of rape culture. He has a deplorable personality, but I would not just slap a disorder on him. I’ve seen people gravitate toward self-diagnosis and labelling themselves sociopaths to somehow justify their being a dick.

He admits he can’t “fully exploit” the Cherokee heritage because he’s white at the end of the day. At least he openly admits this. I’ve see this narrative way too much around here: bringing up Cherokee heritage because us white people can’t just say we’re fucking white. I’m still very upset that he’s taken up this…

He’s from Alabama? Ugh. I was about to eloquently type a PSA as how I disapprove of him. But, he’s one of my own. Time to go internalize his bigotry :/

What is that last piece of fuckery? All the other switch plates have inocuous titles.

I don’t know why but I approve.

Here’s the kicker: most of the more adept racists are obsessed with history (specifically the Civil War obvs) and glorify it to an extent where they research Confederate sympathy and act as if the government has a conspiracy wherein public schools’ employ “liberals” to write the history books. I feel sick just typing…

Yelawolf (notwithstanding the utter fuckness of that moniker): please, be quiet. As time goes by I feel it harder and harder to be proud of where I’m from because the typical bigot is performing silver metal-worthy mental gymnastics to justify racism.

I’ve been hooked since “All That” was released as a single a few months back. I was rooting against CRJ just because of how pretentiously stylized the album’s title is (I am a genuinely unpleasant human), but I find much to love <3

I honestly can’t tell if this is serious or problematic.

Ugh. Any time there’s any discussion on rape culture and people like you arrive, I always ask: why are you trying to pass your narrative off as truth?

Did you really just try and hijack an article about squirting to make a statement? At least be racist in an article about race.

Why do you feel the need to assert your own narrative?
