I mean that house is like 2 bedrooms right? 1200 square feet? Like what is he trying to prove with that photo anyways...what a putz.

Our favorite sign from today’s protest at an ICE detention center in the SF Bay Area:

You want to know what this one did? It give this bitter and exhausted immigration attorney a boost of energy to fight even harder for my clients.

This is great, there are TWO things in this article that people will sign in just to tell us they don't care about!

Yeah it definitely happened. Vanity Fair did an article on it.

I really, really, really wish that was a reality for the United States. 

I guess this is nice, but I feel like every woman has to learn to look a creep in the face and say “you’re creeping me out and I’m leaving.”

Fuck her, she should have retired January 2013.

I once passed Ron Perlman in the Austin airport prior to SXSW

It’s part of the recovery process. I might be getting too in the weeds here, but I find programs like AA/NA to be harmful because they’re hyper focused on clean time and not relapsing. So if people did slip, they’ll go on hardcore binges leading to hospitalization or death, which I’ve seen firsthand. Addiction should

Can we stop giving the Nazis credit for symbols they stole?

I’m afraid that just isn’t accurate. It was very clear at the time that the film was about a trans-man. If you presumed otherwise just from seeing who was cast, that’s cool, but the advertising, Oscar push, and everything around that was very focused on the fact that Hilary Swank was playing a trans character.

From what I understand, Brandon had not done any hormone treatment. Trans men that are pre-hormones, or elect to not take hormones live with more vulnerability. The more androgynous your features, like Swank, the more you can read ‘male’, but there is still a fragility to those that, like Brandon, are living ‘stealth’.

I think the idea was for the actor playing the role to resemble Teena. Hilary Swank did an astounding job and I think the role could have been played by either a trans man or a cis woman, but not by a cis man.

While I love the metaphor attempt, that’s a total insult to selkies, who are basically just doing the mythological “seals turning into humans and then back again” thing and most of the time are human only because some jerk literally coerces them.

My useless .02 would be they are a bunch of children who are figuring out who and what they are in the world, and without bullshit fundamentalism getting in the way of questioning gender/sexuality they have been freed to figure their shit out without having to hide feelings.

I guess all I can say is it’s her prerogative....it’s her...it’s her...it’s her...prerogative.

I think it’s just a natural progression. I identified as bi for a few years (and am probably still technically like a Kinsey 5 or something). For a lot of people, coming out means hacking through years of socialization to be attracted to the opposite gender, having people talk about a straight marriage in your future,

i don’t understand the vitriol this woman is receiving.

As if he doesn’t do that already
