I put on green lipstick and scowled at a stranger today. It’s a good start to the weekend.

Hi jam I want your opinion on something.. So I keep seeing “cisgender opinions don’t matter” and I saw something today that literally said “reblog if dog poop matters to you more than cis opinions” and it’s like.. I’m cisgendered, and I’m the first one to speak out against family and friends when they say something homophobic or transphobic.. Don’t they want and need support from cisgendered people? Like, we can help this world be a better place for them and they want us to support and help them
StandardBut then our opinions just “don’t matter?” I’m just tired of the hate.. I understand the frustration but I just think it’s messed up to flat out say cis people’s opinions don’t matter. I’m really trying to be supportive and I don’t want to bother you but I’m tired of people getting annoyed with me speaking out just because I’m not trans.
this is so fucking YIKES. listen, if you were truly an ally, you’d shut up about it. i get that it’s personally offensive to hear that your opinions really don’t matter but they don’t. i mean obviously saying cis peoples opinions on ANY subject is dog shit is hyperbolic but seriously you don’t sound like an ally right now. allies are there to use their privilege and platforms to uplift the voices of the oppressed, not have similar weight. so please bye
an imaginary person named deez nuts polled 9% on an actual presidential poll and it was reported nationwide and people have to be told not to write him in and throw away their vote because it might mean donald fucking trump, a man who everyone hates with a toupee that looks like it was photoshopped on, actually does get elected because he is actually running. oh and despite a general lack of recent campaigning, let us not forget: wocka flocka flame also very much did declare his candidacy. wocka flocka fucking flame
and then, amongst this political farce, banksy is building a theme park. a real, actual theme park. a man who became famous originally due to his street art. is building a theme park. can you think of a single thing less street art than a fucking theme park??? how many people have signed off on this?????? how much money??? fucking
also there is a website where people can vote on the names for planets outside our solar system and some are legit sounding and some are like?? “descending fish” or whatever??? actual planets in actual space what the fuck
oh, right, and then in the only political news that seems like a genuinely good idea i’ve heard in months, there was that whole thing where, due to how dismally bad their economy has been for so long, they have started a kickstarter for the country of greece. that sounds so fake! that doesn’t sound like a real thing none of these do they sound like onion articles but when i heard about it i was like that’s a great idea i hope it works bc i’ve got a friend in greece and i know how bad it is there and it’s not getting the attention it needs
at this point i feel like no news item could surprise me, you could be like “florida has literally broken off of the continent due to popular vote and is now chillin with the bahamas and it is messing up the american economy which secretly is heavily reliant on citrus export and the daytona 500″ and i’d be like sure that sounds reasonable! absolutely!
i’d believe if if scientists were like “new study proves that birds control the weather” at this point and it would probably not be the weirdest shit i heard that week
when the fuck did our universe start being a performance art piece co-written by monty python and the firesign theatre

R&B singer Janelle Monáe released a blistering 6 ½-minute protest song on Friday called “Hell You Talmbout.” The song’s premise is simple, and that simplicity is the source of its power. The lyrics are the chanted names of black Americans killed by police and vigilantes, followed by the phrase “say his name” or “say her name.” The chorus is an anthemic, gospel-leaning repetition of the song’s title. Monáe is joined on the track by a drum line and the members of her Wondaland Arts Society collective: Jidenna, Roman GianArthur, Deep Cotton, St. Beauty and George 2.0. All of the vocals are raw, several to the point of breaking. None of the names are sung.

You guys seem to really like this photoset!

I want an inverse spy flick. The spy is a woman. Her whole team is made up of diverse women. All the villains are women. There is only one man in the entire movie and he is a Strong Male Character who is like 25 and decently ripped and has a scene where he slowly steps out of a pool wearing speedos because he is Confident and In Control of His Sexuality. We see his ass when he has to tug down his pants to get at the knife strapped to his thigh. His nipples are always erect for no fucking reason.
They are undercover in a nightclub. In order to keep their cover from being blown, he has to kiss another man.
He knits to relieve stress and to keep his mind sharp. It is never discussed by any of the characters.
Someone asks him how he knows how to do Traditionally Feminine Thing. “I have four sisters,” he answers.
This is also how he knows how to fight while armed with nothing but a purse, a high heel shoe, and a can of hair spray. During this fight, he is, for no apparent reason, shirtless.
