That's not even my biggest issue. The people responding to this post with "but now we get to meet the Sand Snakes!" I'm just...

I'm sad you don't watch Game of Thrones. If you watch the episodes in reverse order, all the beloved characters come back to life!

There is nothing snotty about that reply. I'm genuinely asking whether they want me to reveal a little bit of information about whether or not they should be concerned going forward.

Beautifully written, as always. You touch on such an important point of bi-erasure - the complete lack of actual, real role models, and the seeming acceptance society has towards this. RIP Oberyn, you beautiful man, we cannot thank you enough for just being you. <3

Bowie is HUGELY problematic, because he's basically recanted his bisexuality and referred to it as a phase that he went through because it seemed cool. Bowie does WAY more harm for us than good.

Great article, CA Pinkham. And it is true—people don't realize how important and real it makes you feel to see yourself represented on screen which is why characters like Oberyn is so important.

it sure is... How does Mark not know that a cinnabon doesn't have any honey on it.

My dad regularly wears a sweatsuit with JUICY across the ass.

When I was 8, we didn't have the internet at home. It was only at school and I had no one to email :( ... Jesus, I feel old all of a sudden.

Not being in the classroom I would say that what matters is whether the teacher properly introduced the lesson and set up guidelines so that the students could feel like they were in a safe space and could react accordingly. It's less of an issue for me that he actually showed videos depicting racism because, wait for…

I cannot even begin to tell you how much of a tragedy this was for me. If they would just make a fucking bag of pink Starburst, you know that would sell better than any other Starburst product ever. Stop giving me juice-filled Starburst - we already have Gushers. I want pink. (That sounds naughty.)
