Ummm, drag kings get less play because they don’t play into our heteronormative ideas about gender.
Drag queen market themselves as challenging gender norms, but in reality, the perform “female” traits in a way that is defined by heternomative standards (a focus on frivolous things, cattiness, social aggression, etc.).

Charles Wallace has to be one of Madeliene L’Engle’s many nods to science, he’s clearly named after Charles Darwin and Alfred Wallace.

thank you! I’ve been saying this for years, and people treated me like I’m homophobic! I think Ru’s version of drag is offensive.

I think Drag Race is super fascinating as a cultural phenomenon. As in, I think drag has a more inclusive history, but the show itself somewhat panders to a heteronormative audience, despite marketing itself as otherwise. Like, the fact that they play up “femme types are catty” really plays to harmful stereotypes

well considering drag, in many many ways, doesn’t really aim to look like women, its more about camp and kitch, right?

Mindy Kaling showed up with BJ Novak.

I just wanted everyone to know.

yeah, again, but isn’t that like ... every movie?

birth control that allows me to skip my period?

Or don’t. The world is full of plastic products of which period related-products is just a tiny smidgen. If there is ONE product that we hang on to and just decide to do what ever it takes to handle that kind of trash/recyclable/compostable it should be period-related products. You can pry my tampons out of my cold

Yes, because a monarchy decided by ritual combat isn’t misogynistic at all. ;p

I guess? I was laughing to myself: if only wakanda wasnt a monarchy decided by ritual combat (there’s some toxic masculinity for ya) it might have fewer problems.

Honestly, it creates more jobs because you have to hire someone to fill the temporary vacancy.

Honestly, I think these are acts of suicide. You are right, they don’t care.

maybe its just the bangs, but for some reason this reads more blade runner than start wars to me. Can’t get it out of my head. Its too cool, not weird enough.

One cannot reconcile science and “there is a plan for everything”. Honestly, it doesn’t take science, just eyeballa and empathy.

What about the shibutani kids? Creepy incest vibe.

I love how unapologetically gay and sparkly the Olympic games are this year. It’s broadcast EVERWHERE.

First, I wasn’t sure if you knew that or not. Second, saying “it never happens...” I can’t think of a surer way to lose an opportunity to convince someone of something than by saying something that’s going to immediately ring untrue for them.

It’s toxic masculinity. But we haven’t fixed that in over 2 thousand years +, so I’m not waiting for that to happen in the near future.
(Suicidal males feel entitled to the lives of others when they want to end their own lives, either socially or literally).

I’m not defending them, but I’ve seen plenty of people sell food stamps (for a discounted rate) to buy... whatever you can’t buy with them. I would assume not all of that goes to drugs, and may (sadly) go to other needs like medication, or who knows what, but there is certainly a market for selling food stamps. Like,
