Another thing that I hate is the idea that my identity isn’t “age appropriate” for children. Like, my mom described my girlfriend as “a friend of mine” to my 10 year old sister (who unbeknownst to my mom, knows that I am gay have a gf). That shit hurts! It’s really fucking hurtful that people I love think of my being gay as something that children “wouldn’t understand” and should therefore be shielded from. Surprise: children are generally uninterested in the particulars of adult dating/relationships. So if you tell them two people are together they will just take your word for it and not immediately launch into questions about gay sex. Incredible!

Seriously, dismantle the harmful misconception that same gender relationships are somehow more “adult” than different gender ones

One of my 11 year old campers came out as bisexual one night at camp. “Oh, yeah, I’ve known I like boys since I was nine,” he said. “It’s not big deal. Not like it was back in YOUR day.”

Another 12 year old camper came out as trans one night. All my kids immediately switched to using her chosen name as soon as she explained herself, and then went back to playing Magic.

Oh, yeah, this so freaking hard to explain.

Me, to my 9 and 12 year old boys: Your cousin Alicia is marrying her girlfriend, Alice.
My boys: Okay.

Me, when another cousin came out: Hey kids, go clean up your rooms. Josh and his new boyfriend, Jeremy are coming over.
Kids: But I don’t WANT to clean my room!

Me, when their bisexual cousin John proposed to his girlfriend: Hey kids, John and Jill are getting married.
Kids: Okay.

Kids: Mom, why doesn’t Sarah date?
Me: Because she doesn’t want to.

I’ll admit, the conversation about their friend’s dad becoming a woman was a more complex conversation, because it was a great opportunity to talk about gender and biology as separate things, but it ended with:

Hey kids, Katie’s dad, Carl, is now a woman, and she’s called “Charlotte.”
Kids: “Cool.”

It’s not that hard, people.

Seriously.

My daughter (age 13) Mum I’m a lesbian and I’m dating Katie.

My son (age 15) ok so I’m asexual and I’m non binary and I really need people to use the right pronouns.

Me: no worries **emails teachers to request they use the correct pronouns**

THIS IS NOT HARD PEOPLE JUST TREAT CHILDREN LIKE HUMAN PEOPLES THEY GET THIS SHIT AND UNDERSTAND IT BETTER THAN YOU DO.

Kids won’t even learn to act weird about this stuff unless adults model that for them. Using children who have no reason to even care as an excuse is several extra levels of messed up.

(See also: “Children are cruel!” Yeah, some of them learn fast. Especially when nasty behavior gets excused and encouraged.)

the term judeo-christian is antisemitic.

judaism and christianity aren’t similar. at all. their view of god, of morality, of what being religious means, of conversion, of anything are so far apart from each other, they’re not only in a different ballpark, they’re playing a different game. Islam is much more similar to judaism, and even then, it shares a lot more with christianity than judaism ever will. the term is almost always used to appropriate our culture and twist it until it’s unrecognizable. it’s almost always used by christians who simply assume that their reading of their old testament is equal to our reading of the tanach.

but it’s not just the inaccuracy and inability to do any research on judaism that makes it antisemitic. no, it’s the fact that for two thousand years, one of the maining defining characteristics of christianity was its hatred of jewish people.

antisemitism didn’t start and end with the holocaust. it involved the labeling of jewish people as christ-killers, it involved blood libels, it involved pogroms, it involved putting us in ghettos, it involved expelling us from almost every country in europe, it involved limiting us to one profession and then villainizing us for it. for a long time, christians didn’t bathe because jewish people did. it’s one of the reasons for the quick and easy spread of the black plague.

jewish people were seen as lesser, and were often forced to convert or lose everything - even at times their lives. they’d be advisors to royalty one moment, and thrown out of their houses the next. the spanish inquisition was no joke for the people who went through it.

judeo-christian ignores the fact that the bible isn’t our tanach, that the old testament isn’t our term for our holy text but instead incredibly demeaning, that for two thousand years the church branded itself “the true jews” and treated us worse than anybody else because of it. judeo-christian connects the oppressor with the oppressed, coopts a tradition that doesn’t belong to christians. easter isn’t passover. channukah isn’t christmas. our holidays, our traditions, our beliefs, aren’t only different from christian ones, but are also separate from them - incompatible, disconnected, unrelated, and not yours to claim.

I am… Ridiculously glad that this post is making the rounds again, because it’s one of my favorites and also one of my first really big posts (as in, over a thousand notes).

This is the most German comic I have ever seen. And it’s not even about Germans.

Ok I just now noticed the birds. I thought this was just a comic about bread and respectful distance. I stand with my point though.

Or any teens really. Let them fucking dye their hair crazy colours and listen to BTS and learn all the Fortnite dances. They might never be this carefree again, and the joy these things bring them will be so-SO important to them in rough patches of their life later on, let them have this.

ppl are like “we have to protect minors” but then in the same breath will fucking dunk on minors as hard as possible when the minors don’t conform to whatever standards they’ve set as acceptable. depression robbed me of my teenhood and early adulthood, and i want nothing more than for teens to have a better experience than i did having fun.

the appeal of pride and prejudice isn’t “mysterious brooding gentleman sweeps average smart girl off her feet”. It’s “hot rich man argues with woman for months, eventually tells her she was right” like winning arguments against hot people is the greatest victory

I had a dream I was able to time travel and I went like 10,20,100,1000,2000 years into the future but the instant I went to 4,000 I got stuck in a time dilation jail set up by the American government in the year 3,877 in which anyone that tried to time travel back or forth across May 23, 3877 while on Earth would end up stuck in this time dilation chamber trap to stop time travelers but like it was so crazy and mismanaged because it was legit capturing like every single time traveler ever and the place had only been open for 12 minutes and was already getting overpopulated with nonstop multiple recursive instances of this one other guy trying to break previous versions of himself out of this god damn time traveler jail

that is fucking hysterical and absolutely sounds like something the American Government would set up.

Can’t believe Bram Stoker once sent a 2000-word fan letter to Walt Whitman which included his exact height, weight and how much he loved his poems and wanted to be friends with him, and that Whitman wrote back saying he liked his letter and hoped they could meet some day, how cute is that

And then he finally got to meet him and Stoker said “I found him all that I had ever dreamed of, or wished for in him” HOW CUTE IS THAT

bram stroker just mailed walt whitman his grindr profile just like that huh

A woman who is 3 months pregnant falls into a deep coma. Six months later she awakes, and asks the doctor about her baby.

Doctor: You had twins, a boy and a girl, they’re both fine. Luckily, your brother was here to name them for you

Woman: Oh no! Not my brother, he’s an idiot! What did he name the girl?

Doctor: Denise

Woman: Well that isn’t so bad, and what did he name the boy?

Doctor: Denephew

“You don’t suffer on the same scale as us so I’m just going to ignore your problems” is not and never will be a good argument.

Like, stop pretending that suffering is a contest. Everybody experiences it differently.

vampireapologist:

I would jump at the opportunity to meet and talk to Pliny the Elder. I need to know more about his process. He really just said whatever he wanted and then defended it to the end. The guy thought a snake could be so venomous that if it bit the horse you were on you’d die too.

I just want to sit down with him and tell him that we know for a fact that the moon doesn’t affect the water in our body like tides and see how he reacts. I wanna tell him he could just counted teeth the whole time. He didn’t need to guess about the number of teeth we have.
