I just wanted to say that I’m tired of this constant fighting between autistics and non-autistics. Why can’t we just get along and have respectful discussions from both parties? I hate it when my fellow…

So, you want to help a group of which you are not part? They are likely suffering from a plague of dogooders. Do not join the onslaught. Here are tips on being helpful:
Educate yourself. Do not go to members of the group with a barrage of obvious questions. If you can find the answer through…

"Don't You Want Me, Baby?" - Blaine, identity, and...
Darren Criss is half Pinoy. He has almond eyes with extravagant lashes, medium gold toned skin, and thick black curls, but there have been a lot of accusations lately of the production team trying to whitewash him in season 3. Do I think Blaine is being whitewashed? Yes. But I think HE is doing it as a character choice.

The title is really fancy but this is just a feelings dump about Animorphs. My Animorphs tag is #Animorphs was my childhood which isn’t an exaggeration. I’ve been wanting to buy them for a year now but thankfully that post went up so I was able to acquire them. But anyway, I wasn’t kidding. I…

There are no hospitals in space. The closest E.R. is back on Earth, and astronauts can’t exactly jump in a cab to get there. So what happens if the sun burps out a massive blast of radiation while an astronaut is space-amblin’ by?

One more thing I have to add about Rachel’s staggering presumption of her customary special snowflake status: EVEN IF Kurt and Blaine were equals in civil rights, they would not be equivalent levels of stupid if they both respectively said yes to proposals from their boyfriends.

Maybe it's the Prop 8 thing today...
But it seems like everyone else saw Kurt’s reaction to Rachel’s “what if Blaine proposed” as tacit agreement that he’d have done the same. It didn’t read that way to me AT ALL. Very much in keeping with Santana’s well-deserved smackdown of Will for his privilege later, it looked to me like shock and hurt that she would even ask that. Rachel, a girl with...

The Susan B. Komen/Planned Parenthood Debacle
The SBK foundation is about breast cancer: prevention, treatment, awareness, support, the whole shebang. Or at least I hope it is, and with the millions of pink products it sells every year telling people it is, it had better be. It has never presented itself in any meaningful way as being about anything else.

Yes, I’ve been absent from Tumblr. I’m having a hard time personally on an emotional front, and there’s just too much triggery stuff that pops up on my dash. I’ve also started a new job. I’ll try to be back soon.
