bisexual people aren’t more likely to cheat in relationships but we are more likely to cheat at cards, while lesbians are most likely to cheat at jenga, and genderqueer people often cheat at mario kart
I won’t speak for all liberals, but I’d like to see a future where it isn’t a big deal for a woman in full modesty garb to sit next to a drag queen in NYC. It’s become a bit of a sensation, but her and I were just existing. The freedom to simply be yourself in a sea of people who aren’t like you is a freedom we all deserve.
The central irony is that this isn’t some hypothetical future–it’s just present day reality. This is a picture of two ordinary people going about their normal lives despite how haters want to politicize it lmao. So the underlying message is not “future liberals want” it’s “people conservatives want to eradicate”

Regular reminder that “faking it” is a conscious decision and that self doubt is hard to fight past but definitely possible.
If you think you’re faking it, you’re not! No one accidentally fakes being disabled/mentally ill/developmentally disabled/trans/nonbinary/queer/poor etc.
AND NO ONE WHO DOUBTS YOU SHOULD BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AS THEY ARE AN ASSHOLE!
“I’m Dale Hanson, it’s getting harder to enjoy the day” lord jebus have marsy!!!!
I love dale hansen so much
I FUCKING SCREAMED AT WORK I LOVE THIS MAN PREACH SIR PREACH
Remember, Dale Hansen is also the one who spoke up about African-Americans taking a knee during the national anthem/White privilege (hint: He’s pro-knee)
And also about rape on college campuses (how it’s not the woman’s fault – warning, very personal):
AND about Michael Sam coming out (hint: he’s calling homophobes out)
Dale knows what’s up. Take note: This is how to be an ally. Especially in Texas.
This man is amazing!!
Here’s one more for yall on trans athletes. I love this guy, especially for his clear willingness to work on his own areas of bias and ignorance
The next person who tries to correct me when I say “Happy Holidays” is going to be told Happy Hanukkah instead. Very tired of hearing, “No, it’s MERRY CHRISTMAS.” I’m pretty sure Judaism was around a lot longer than your Buckstar’s boycotting butt, Karen.
My boss once shared a great story about that. This happened when he was in a layover in North Carolina back when the “War on Christmas” bullshit was first becoming prominent. He had gone to get a pack of cigarettes, and after he paid for it:
“Merry Christmas.” “Happy holidays.” “No. I said Merry Christmas.” “Do you know what Hanukkah is about?” “No, what?” “Some people tried to make us worship their ways, so we rose up andkilled them. Happy Hanukkah.”
THIS
I’m fine with hearing “Merry Christmas”. But if you do say it to me, I’ll say “Happy Hanukkah”.
But 99.99999% of the time, I’ll hear “oh, I’m not Jewish”.
WELL GUESS WHAT ASSHOLE I’VE GOT A FUCKING STAR OF DAVID AROUND MY GODDAMN NECK THAT HASN’T STOPPED A SINGLE DAMN ONE OF YA FROM THINKING I WANT A FAT GUY TO BREAK INTO MY HOUSE AND STEAL MY COOKIES SO EAT MY JEWISH ASS
Usually, though, I just give them the smile of a horror movie serial killer and lift my necklace up very slowly. If they don’t get the idea… well.
Yep, if you get all prissy at me about saying “Merry Christmas” I reply, in my perfect Tel Aviv accent, “Chanukkah sameach.”
I’ve had people turn PALE. It’s beautiful.
I would like someone to wish me a Happy Hanukkah. I’m not Jewish, but that’s not what it’s about.
When I say Merry Christmas, I’m just wishing you a happy day. Come back with Happy Hanukkah and all I’m going to think is that you’re wishing me a happy 8 days. And of course I’m following that with a Happy Hanukkah right back.
People that get all prissy shouldn’t be allowed to celebrate Christmas, it’s about selflessly well wishing and giving to others, not forcing everyone to conform.
It’s sort of important for me to personally start with Merry Christmas, because it’s too irreverent to everyone to suggest that you can just wrap them up with a little bow and corporatize the well wishing. Not everyone celebrates Christmas, but I do and I do it by trying to give.
Happy Holidays just sounds so demeaning to everyone.
Look, no offense, but … . no.
If you say “happy holidays” to me, you are acknowledging that something that isn’t Christmas fucking exists.
You are saying “I’m not going to assume you’re a Christian.”
You are saying “people who are not like me are also of value.”
Anyway, I always say “have a good holiday” and if people give me shit I follow it with an answer in Hebrew, because seriously, fuck people who prioritize “merry christmas” as somehow more acceptable or culturally appropriate than acknowledging that not everybody celebrates a holiday the Christians stole wholesale from the Romans who stole it from the Greeks.
Cool so since this post went through let’s try this: we have $600 in unexpected vet bills bc Cap needs stitches (it’s ok, Mila caught his ear in exactly the wrong way, they’re still best friends).
