“[White readers often believe they are colorblind.] Until they read books...”
– Zadie Smith, Their Eyes Were Watching God: What Does Soulful Mean? (via sluteatingtree)
Not to mention how outright hostile and defensive and delusional white readers get when a character is “revealed” to be chromatic. It’s as if they feel they’ve been tricked, because they relate to that...

This is your test.

Every path you have blogged through hiatus and ship war has led to this episode.

You’ve probably seen the claim going around that Blaine asking Burt to marry Kurt is insulting to Kurt. The claim is that Kurt’s choice in the matter is being taken away, as well as his free will, an he will inevitably be forced to marry Blaine.

You know what?
I don’t care if being a lesbian isn’t natural.
Its 2013. Oreos don’t have a single natural ingredient in them that isn’t distilled out of recognition. People get their vegetables from cans. They have made cruelty-free, lab-grown BACON. People fly around in big, metal machines.
I. AM. TALKING. TO SOMEONE. ACROSS THE WORLD. IN A MATTER OF SECONDS.

There’s all this talk all over my dash of how the inspiring event couldn’t be the mentors getting married because gay marriage is illegal in Ohio, and I’m wondering if like 95% of the people hear haven’t heard of commitment ceremonies?

Wow, feeling bad for the girls and women in ND. Hoping services in other states reach out to them. They are moving back in time. Hoping there are already legal beagles at work to change it.
Can Men Be Taught to Not Rape? →
substantialityou:
This woman is amazingly courageous for stating something so obvious. Hats off to you.
