This post is based off of my very limited knowledge of quantum theory
I had a thought
Nonbinaries’ gender is like the position of an electron’s orbit around the nucleus of an atom
It’s in all places at once until someone looks at it
Then the wave function collapses and it chooses just one
When someone looks away it can change again but it’s static while it’s being observed
Like — like Weeping Angels?

if you love Sooj dearly, reblog.
I want to follow all of you.
I LOVE THIS WOMAN. She is my favourite singer/songwriter in the universe.
Sooj is bright, shiny, musical love.
Her Music and Magic workshop at FoS this year was an experience I’ll never forget. Her entire discography is so perfect, and has had such a beautiful impact on me. I’m counting down the days ‘til next October when I can see her lovely face again.
I just love her. <3
Love her and her every growly look.
Just, y’know. Don’t lick her toes.
“I said to his physician assistant, I said, ‘That sounds foreign—not that I had anything against foreign doctors—but it sounded too foreign. She said, ‘He’s from Lebanon.’ Oh, Lebanon! My mind immediately started thinking, wait a minute, maybe his religious persuasion is different than mine! She could see the look on my face and she said, ‘Don’t worry, Mr. Cain, he’s a Christian from Lebanon.’”

Hermain Cain, after hearing that his former surgeon’s name was Dr. Abdallah.
Looks like Cain is still raking in those gratuitous GOP xenophobia points.

AUGH TWITCH AUGH.
What I hate is how many Christians-from-Lebanon would actually be pleased by this kind of pronouncement, this pat on the head for being a model minority that has put so much effort into assimilation. How many family members of the older generation would breathe a sigh of relief to not have been lumped in with the Muslims or Druze. Hate. Hatehatehate.

“Nonviolence declares that the American Indians could have fought off Columbus, George Washington, and all the other genocidal butchers with sit-ins; that Crazy Horse, by using violent resistance, became part of the cycle of violence, and “as bad as” Custer. Nonviolence declares that Africans could have stopped the slave trade with hunger strikes and petitions, and that those who mutinied were as bad as their captors; that mutiny, a form of violence, led to more violence, and thus, resistance led to more enslavement. Nonviolence refuses to recognize that it can only work for privileged people, who have a status protected by violence, as the perpetrators and beneficiaries of a violent hierarchy.”

I think about this in the context of Palestine a lot; how Palestinians who died while staging peaceful protests are virtuous, worthy, deserving of Western tears, and isn’t it all such a goshdarned fucking shame but oh well what can you do. How dying on camera is important, to add some sliver of a chance to the likelihood that someone in the US will be moved enough to sign a petition or re-think their stance on BDS. How nonviolent protests are hardly ever covered anyway, and how nonviolent measures like BDS taken by people outside of Palestine are labelled anti-semitic.
Client: “I don’t mean to sound racist, but…”
Me: “But what?”
Client: “But the site is too black.”
Me: “Like, literally too black?”
Client: “Yes. The background is too black.”
Me: “That’s not racist. That has nothing to do with race.”
Client: “Phew. I can never tell with you black people, what’s offensive and what’s not.”
Me: “I’m actually Lebanese. And, yeah, that one might be a bit racist.”This happens often, I see.
Snerrrrrk.

[misleading] Gay men blood donation ban lifted →
google.com
Gay men will now be able to give blood as Government restrictions are officially lifted, the Department of Health (DoH) said.
A lifetime ban on blood donation by men who had had sex with another man was put in place in the UK in the 1980s as a response to the spread of Aids and HIV.
But following a review by the Advisory Committee on the Safety of Blood, Tissues and Organs (Sabto), men who have not had homosexual sex within a year will be able to donate if they meet certain other criteria. The move will be implemented in England, Scotland and Wales.
People, please stop reblogging this uncritically. The ban has not been “lifted” - it has simply been altered from a lifetime ban. You still cannot donate if you’ve had sex with another guy within a year - even safe sex. (Also, it doesn’t only apply to “gay men”, but to any man who has had sex with another man.)
The delay of a year is supposedly to let HIV and Hep B be detectable in the blood. Because, of course, people who aren’t men who have sex with men NEVER GET THOSE ILLNESSES. And unprotected heterosexual sex the day before donation is fiiiiine but safe sex with another man 364 days ago is not.
It’s still a bigoted load of crap and it is NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
Yep.
