I feel like ever since the term shifted from “gay liberation” to “gay pride” it has hindered the movement in a lot of ways. Liberation tells you what this is about, pride tells you… You’re proud? Good for you. Lots of people are proud, but not all people need liberation (or, at least, not everyone thinks they need it).

I vote we go back to calling it Liberation, and instead of bickering over why people are at the queer event and not a workers event, we start organizing monthly or bimonthly events, a queer/LGBT liberation event, a women’s liberation event, a worker’s liberation event, Hispanic Liberation event… Let’s pepper the calendar with parties and parades and protests while drilling into people’s minds that we are all deserving of respect, autonomy, and liberation.

Not sure how well I said all that. I’m about 5 boozy horchatas in, and I hate to do the “as a gay man” thing, but I feel like I should mention I am, in fact, a gay, and I quite enjoy pride and what it stands for

Don’t forget the discrimination and frequent unreported assaults on queer folks and people of color!

Tennessee: The volunteer (to give up any reasonable expectation at a decent quality of life) state!

The scene with the wounds on his hands, something like:

“does it hurt?”

“Not really”

Pours salt in wounds “Does it now?”

“No”

Breaks thermometer into the wounds “how about now?”

“A little”

“Aww! Poor baby!” Bandages wounds

That scene has played on a loop in the back of my brain for decades. It’s fucking hilarious. That and when the evil master reveals his name is Betty, and plays Big Butts. I loved that movie before I started smoking weed, and I loved it even more the first time I watched it stoned.

Wasabee. Pronounced the same as wasabi. The logo can be a little bee carrying a backpack delivering the sushi. Wasabi is pretty concretely linked to sushi, spicy things are common/catchy app names, and I’m too lazy to look up registration stuff, but the websites aren’t active at least.

They’re tired and would like to take a nap. Do the right thing and make them a sandwich. Getting milked is exhausting, especially if it’s a power play thing with post milking overstim.

You say this, but you’ve never seen me try to math

I love the idea of an officiant with total free reign. “You may now kiss… The grooms mother on the cheek. … Just playing, y’all. They gonna dance. Dance, boys!”

Good use for it! My best friend is a former Baptist preacher who still occasionally preaches at different churches, and he likes to use it whenever that comes up.

Mind if I ask if it was a religious ceremony?

This. Exactly this. I’m dying to know.

Came here looking for someone to have quoted this. I quote it to bigots all the time and it straight pisses them off.

I save posts to check them the next day for this reason. Sorting by new gets boring pretty quick :/

Sweet! Thanks for the reco!

This would make an excellent recurring story on American dad wherein Jeff is secretly a Superman à la quailman from Doug.

I want a 3d printer so badly. I don’t have the money for it, or the set up where I currently live to have one. But I’m supposed to be moving soon, and I want to start saving for one. I’m a crafty/DIY(read: jury rig) person by nature. I love fixing shit, making shit, and creatively solving problems. If I had more money, I’m pretty much the exact target audience for a 3d printer. Lol

I don’t have an ew response here. There’s a long history of preserving body parts. There are books in libraries bound in human skin. Y’all will sit bare assed on a leather couch but get grossed out by this? I mean, I guess I understand it, but I just don’t have that reaction.

I do want to know why they chose those three tattoos to showcase, because there had to be something better…

I have genuinely no idea how any of that works. I’m a monkey with a smart phone. I just want to be able to connect all my shit. Lol. I have a mouse, keyboard, external drive, et cetera. I ended up getting Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, but I prefer my USB keyboard much more.

Worst part is, you can’t even really find a USB c hub that’s just USB c. Bunch of other shit you don’t need because everything uses A or C. I just want like 5 USB c ports and I’ll be happy. I updated everything I own to USB C, and I never have enough ports.

Are you in college, or do you have a friend who is? Often you can sign in through your college’s library for access.

That sounds pretty good, actually. Another I really like is ramen, cooked and drained, and homemade pimento cheese and fresh tomatoes. OMG, so good. Ramen is also excellent with poached eggs and sausage with cheese. It’s an all purpose carb.

Try it first, then report back. If you despise it, I’ll willingly give it up.
