So I’ve been seeing things on-line lately that amount to thin derailment regarding fat oppression and fat liberation posts - basically comments like “but this happens to thin people too!” and “everyone’s body is judged like this.” This is a difficult thing to address because on one level, yes body policing is pervasive, and a variety of people get harangued re: whether...

“And yet a woman’s weight is seen by American culture as an outward manifestation...”
– Everybody, Every Body: the Media’s Erasure of Fat Girls
this is a really articulate way of describing why despite being a cisgendered woman with 100% cisgender privilege, I still have extreme issues with seeing myself as a woman.

Oh my goodness, when people are complaining about how Kurt is presented in the narrative over and over as unattractive and undesirable whereas Blaine is presented as attractive and desirable, the conclusion that you draw from it isn’t that people hate Blaine and want Kurt to be pursued by someone else so that Kurt dumps his clearly loving boyfriend and goes out with that someone...

Anonymous asked: Um..Blaine has called Kurt adorable, constantly heart eyes him and also has given him lustful stares, admitted to masturbating to thoughts of Kurt, told Kurt "I want you so bad..." Never referenced that Kurt's attractive? Does he has to scream it from the rooftops for it to count?

Where, exactly, are all of these people who are after Blaine while Kurt languishes in the corner, forgotten and alone??
People who have shown interest in Blaine:
Kurt Rachel Sebastian
People who have shown interest in Kurt: Mercedes Brittany Blaine Karofsky
What exactly have these people who feel Kurt is so unloved and unnoticed and Blaine is oh-so-wanted seen...

“I do not trust people who don’t love themselves and yet tell me, ‘I love you.’...”
– Maya Angelou (via eedyeh)
I kind of really dislike this quote. Because people who don’t love themselves can have a lot of reasons for that-like depression-but that doesn’t make them some sort of unemotional robots, or that their love is somehow less or faulty.
“Every time I read an article about conservatives being “pro- life” I am reminded...”

Steps to deciding to follow someone.
1. See a thoughtful, quality post of theirs reblogged by someone else on my dash.
2. Say to self, “Hey, that is a thoughtful, quality post. I wonder if the rest of their blog is similarly thoughtful and quality?”
3. Go to blog. Scroll, see a few good posts.
4. Continue scrolling. See that first post that makes me go “oh.”
5. Become increasingly incensed as their...

Drag queens are awesome. Drag (as in the kind on RuPaul’s Drag Race, the art form) isn’t about being actual women, it’s about being something that’s purely theatrical and ridiculous. I mean, there are cisgender women out there who do drag and are fantastic at it. However, when the punch line is lol a man degrading himself by wearing a dress, yeah, that’s not cool because the...

No one is as fun to be around as my mother. And by “fun to be around” I mean likely to trigger depression and anxiety.

hey writers in case you forgot, Kurt actually has a really kick ass singing voice and has some amazing talent so maybe you should let him sing because you know, he’s sort of graduating in 7 episodes so perhaps you should take advantage of having him in a choir room while you still can and by sing I mean have an entire song to himself, a solo, a song that’s just for him, an...

Do you remember when we met in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless, and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing you, when we were young, and blushed with youth like bruised fruit. Did we care then what our neighbors did in the dark?
When our first daughter was born on the River Jordan, when our second cracked her pink head from my body like a...
