Everyone get on Twitter. Everybody start boosting here on Tumblr. All across social media.
They are cutting communications. They won’t let journalists or reporters in.
They need us. Make noise. Be heard.
So I only just now got a notice that I have a grand total of four flagged explicit posts. And they were so old!! But of the four two had dicks and one just “said” dick in the caption of a drawing of two guys almost kissing and the other was homoerotic cowboy pictures I found at the thrift store. So two were Very Gay and one was Hint of Gay.
….I see where this is going.
So my roommate often uses bleach on clothing and forgets to run a rinse afterward which results in weak bleach on my very dark clothing. Tonight I put in a load and then saw he had whites in the dryer. When I told him about them I mentioned that I better not get bleach on my shit again and he was slow to respond that he did not run a rinse.
And now he’s sore AT ME bc I called him a fucker to his face.
On the plus side, it gave me the spoons to do the dishes in record time.
On this day, 24 December 1913, the worst mass killing in Michigan in the 20th century took place as 73 people, mostly the children of striking miners, were killed when bosses’ thugs yelled “Fire!” at a crowded union Christmas party, then held the exit doors shut so panicking children and their parents on the stairs were crushed by others who tried to flee. This is a short history of this terrible massacre: http://bit.ly/2fvRGIp http://bit.ly/2EMGBzq
Thought I’d share this for anyone who wants more asexual characters in their reading this year. I’m ecstatic to see Our Bloody Pearl included in this list, and I can’t wait to check out some of the other titles.
This should have a lot more notes guys.
Asexual characters in YA literature are SUPER important; they’re often the first time a young person hears about asexuality and realizes that they aren’t broken or alone, and we need to make sure books that do it right are supported so that the representation becomes mainstream!
The single greatest and most fascinating “futurist” architecture movement in the world right now is happening in Bolivia, where national prosperity and a dedication to works for the poor and public housing led to an explosion of colorful styles inspired by Aymara Indian art. There should be more articles about this, the interiors are just as amazing. Incidentally, most of these buildings are not for the rich or in trendy neighborhoods, but are public housing. I’ve heard this style referred to as “Neo-Andean” but like most currently thriving styles it doesn’t have a universally agreed on name yet.
