The “Gay Rights” Movement
When President Clinton suggested allowing open homosexuals to serve in the U.S. military and later when he signed the Defense of Marriage Act, he was reacting to a rising political force in America, the “gay rights” movement. Openly practicing homosexuals sought ways…
Ughhh. Sounds so familiar >_<
From the Doctor Who Series 7 Teaser Trailer, released this morning.
So, all I can think of is Westworld. I mean, really:
There’s no way this is not a reference, is there? Or is this entirely in my head? I mean, all gunslingers look kinda the sameish… *ponders*
I put a video up on my second channel because I couldn’t make it into a vlogbrothers video…too hard. Also, it has a couple of F$*ks in it.
@theoodcast: Karen just explained Inspector Spacetime to Moffat. His response “Let’s take the rip out of THEM on OUR show.” #DoctorWho #Community #dwcuk
Hey, remember when I did a make-up tutorial for the Katniss Everdeen look? Now that we’ve actually seen her make-up, how do you think I did?
So I still haven’t seen The Hunger Games and have no idea how he did, but brb dying a little bit. Also, Hank, I kind of hate how good you are at eyeliner considering you claim to have only done this twice before.
Any Christchurch people who want to see this place, please contact Robert at antoniohall.org.nz to arrange a tour. We’ve received word that most of the building is likely to be demolished soon, so there’s no time to mess around. Go! See the place! Take photos! Srsly, it’s beautiful.
Awww, but I love Ulysses! It is very probably my favourite poem!It’s mine too! But it didn’t fit the context, so I didn’t go there.
Hahaha. Fair enough then. Highfive for sharing a favourite poem though!
Jeffrey Eugenides, The Marriage Plot (via anaees)
I’m pretty sure there aren’t ANY people who take English “by default.” I’m pretty sure it’s a VERY conscious decision.
In conclusion, Eugenides confuses the English majors with the business majors.
(via lettersforburning)
I’m not planning on majoring in English, but I still think it’s pretty ridiculous to say that people major in it just because they have no other option. Or to imply that people with English majors aren’t smart.
This is a fairly accurate description of why I took Classics though.
(via aliquid-aliquis)
Hey now, I object! I’m an English major, Classics and History minor. Yes, I read a lot of stories, but I don’t do it because I don’t know what else to, or because the other things are too dry or too difficult. I do it because I think stories are the most important thing. I learn Latin to get to the stories. I learn History to learn the stories. Story is how we relate to each other in so many ways. There’s a reason we were reading them in first grade and are still reading them now. They stick with you. And English majors don’t only read stories, we analyse them. Stories mean something. They tell us about ourselves and about our world and about the way we see things and think about things. The relationships woven all throughout our culture and every culture. Stories matter.
One of the “awareness materials” that 70% of Invisible Childrem donations go to pay for—a music video featuring a dancing and singing Jason Russell, director of the Kony 2012 film. Being that it lacks any significant content about Joseph Kony or the situation in Uganda, what does it raise awareness of? Jason Russell, of course. And his reprehensible work.
Invisible Children removed this video from their YouTube channel after recent criticism, along with several other videos, many of which had elaborate sets, painted vehicles, digital effects, and must have cost tens of thousands of dollars to make.*blink blink*
Accurate video is accurate.
- Guys show movie.
- Teenagers say “well that’s sad and all, but [insert valid questions here]”
- Guys admit they have no idea what they’re doing but WHITE AMERICAN SAVIOUR, YO!
- Teenagers look skeptical, guys go “Oh, well, instead of taking your questions srsly and actually like, researching this stuff and figuring it all out, we will DAZZLE YOU with a DANCE!”
- Everybody suddenly forgets all the questions because all of the sudden, the Kony guys have a cool video/dance and therefore MUST BE ABLE TO SAVE THE WORLD.
Yep. I’m more aware.
Have you seen the one where they’re riding around on vans? It’s been taken down, but it’s literally a video of IC roadies riding around in black vans, lip-syncing to Muse. In several shots, they’ve got kids (TEENAGERS) sitting ON TOP of the vans while they ride over rough dirt roads.* It appears to be a trailer for one of their tours, but it tells you literally nothing about what IC is or does. One might get the impression that IC is a group of 40 teens who like to live dangerously.
I apologize to the IC roadies/former roadies are following me, but that’s an unjustifiable expense.
*This bothered me more than the average person because a kid at Brookings high school in South Dakota DIED doing a similar stunt - he was trying to “car surf” his friend’s car in the parking lot and they were only going 10 or so MPH. So, yeah, I don’t take well to people using such activity for “effect.”
I haven’t seen it, but wtf? Ugh, that’s so dangerous and pointless.
