July 11th.
I made it to July 11th.
Everyone else was cracking early on, saying that 2016 was the weirdest year that they had ever experienced, wondering what even was 2016, asking how 2016 was even real…
And I?
Well…I made it to July 11th.
All of the headlines, the articles, the posts…
They fazed me, of course, but I did not crack.
Not until today.
Not until July 11th.
Not until about three minutes ago when I saw that the Westboro Baptist Church had recruited a Pokemon in orde...

i want to see more queer kids in childrens media i want to crush the idea that you have to be of a certain age before you’re allowed to know who you are
I don’t, but, before you freak, this is why:
Kids aren’t sexual. Not purposefully or with any knowledge.
They have so grasp of sexuality (their own or any others) though they have much more outward affection. Attaching sexuality based labels to children is distressing.being queer is not wholly sexua...

Fun fact
Native Americans weren’t allowed US citizenship until 1924.
Let that sink in. We lived here first…for thousands of years. And less than a hundred years ago we were finally given citizenship.
We also fought in WWI despite not being US citizens.
In Arizona, natives weren’t granted the right to vote until 1948. Think how that type...

Activists in Florida have begun what is planned to be a 49-hour sit in at the Orlando office of Senator (and former Republican presidential candidate) Marco Rubio.
They are calling for strong action on gun safety regulations and anti-discrimination policies protecting the LGBTQ community from further violence.
If you are in the area, you can join their sit-in at 201 S. Orange Ave, Orlando, Florida. You can also call Senator Rubio’s office to demand str...

20 years ago today, the Bosnian people faced the greatest genocide in Europe since the Holocaust in World War II. Over a period of 11 days, more than 8,000 of the men and boys were massacred while the women faced unspeakable torture. All this while the UN “peacekeepers” watched from the safety of the surrounding hills. According to some eyewitness testimonies Dutch peacekeepers were among the refugees watching as the Serbs raped and murdered them. Those same “peacekeepers”...
How to come up with names for your dystopian teen lit:
Try to say regular names with a bunch of Oreos in your mouth!
Examples: Jocelyn = Jorslun. Elizabeth = Lisbit. Daniel = Dannel.
You’re welcome.
Following up on this idea. I tried this method with a hamburger in my mouth, in lieu of Oreos. Results:
Alice = Allit. Mark = Marth. Tommy = Domi.
Confirmed: a mouth full of President Choice White Mac and Cheese produces a subset of names with a more badass tilt...
