This week's episode of Glee was hideous and unredeemable.
If I still had trauma surrounding my own bullying issues, I would have been deeply triggered by it.

“ladyatheist: So, for those of you who are unaware, tomorrow marks the start of Black History Month. I am so not looking forward to this. Since this year is a leap year, I have 29 of whitewashed history and white people complaints and tears to look forward to. Hip hip hoo-fucking-ray. I fucking hate Black History Month with a god damn passion.
In school, it was nothing but a fucking joke. The history teacher would pull out a specialized lesson plan for a few weeks. We would do reports on the same few people and hear the same bullshit stories. If you were lucky, you might have watched a movie.
The media is even worse. McDonald’s has that “Black History 365” campaign that you suspiciously only see in February. The Disney channel will play the movie “The Color of Friendship”. Trust me, it will happen. February is the only time during the year you will see that movie. There will be more commercials featuring Black people, someone will show “The Color Purple”, and bullshit campaigns will come out of the woodwork saying they want to “help the Black community”.
I’m expecting twitter and tumblr to be out of fucking control when it comes to white whine. “Anti-racists” will misquote Martin Luther King Jr. in an attempt to show how “not racist” they are. White liberals will try to teach Black people about Black history. The “pro-life” community will go out of their fucking minds talking about “Black genocide”. White hipsters will complain about there being no W.E.T. and not being able to say n***er. Someone will (inevitably) pull out the black-face and say they “were only trying to honor our culture”. Last, but not least, someone will wave around a confederate flag while screaming “heritage not hate” and “why can’t I be proud to be white”.
I love Black history. Real Black history is a thing of beauty. When you learn about what Black people really had to face, you see that it’s a damn near miracle that we’re still in this country and surviving. The whitewashing that goes down during Black History Month is a damn shame. It’s not bad enough that we have the shortest fucking month of the year, but you have to dilute our history too???
I just want this to be over already. If you’re Black in America, February is probably not a good month for you.” —

Not black myself, but reblogging because this is important.
“I swear to god I will lose my mind if I hear the “sex sells” fallacy one more time. Sex does not sell. If sex sold, we would see penises where we see boobs. Naked men would be on everything that naked women are on. Sex isn’t what they’re selling you. They’re selling you an impossible, pornographically fueled misogynistic idea of the perfect woman.”

Miranda from “Mass Effect” and Leeloo from “The Fifth Element” come to mind…

Cosigned! Even though I loved Leeloo and the fact that the perfect human was a woman…

I wrote to him “Just wanted to tell you that I love Dated and Sexist. It’s a great album.” and he replied “Thank you! really glad you like it.” :D

Oh, I have a few times. ;) But I think I just say silly things like “If you liked David Copperfield, try reading THIS obscure Dickens novel! It’s fabulous!” It’s totally OK that he doesn’t. But he’d make my year if he did.
Anyway, congratulations. Get that Tweet bronzed!

wow everyone on tumblr seems to be an INTJ
ESFJ anyone??
ENFJ, apparently.
Also, apparently, I am wasting my powers of great evil. Hm.
IN*F*J, here.
Apparently we’re a rarer type?
Oh no.
No. No. NO.
The clinical depression is officially back. I thought it was just a few bad days or a dysthymic episode (I get those even with medication), but this is official. It’s back.
Fuck.
I do not have time or spoons to fuck with this right now. Or to fuck with the medication I take to quiet it down.
