Wow. I’m sure you’ve all seen this girl’s fantastic tardis dress floating around here the last week or so. She hand painted the inside and everything, and she just looks plain great. But of course, I see it posted on facebook, and the slew of comments begin.

I don’t think it’s a mystery as to why I, as a bigger girl, spend the week before a convention crying because I’m so nervous about what people are going to say about me just because I want to dress up and have fun like everyone else. And there is something really, really fucking wrong with that.

This girl is as beautiful as she is clever! If we on Tumblr are only good for one thing, it’s turning situations like this around! Let’s signal boost this and get it back to her so she knows how much we love it! ALLONZ-Y

I think my favorite fat-shamer here is Daniel Marquis, saying “Cool but not particularly attractive.” Remember, ladies: your pursuits are meaningless if you can’t express them in a way that’s sexually pleasing to all men.

[Lawyer Steve] Taylor questioned why the underage girl had not…

Gold star for the detective. Pitchforks and torches for the defense.

But it's art

You know, you can have a solid discussion about the value of art, and what gets to be categorized as art and what does not.

Or you can emerge from a swim trying to punch an octopus to death and call it art. It’s your call.

Voting in Arapaho County, CO

Not-white folks? In my polling place? It’s more likely than you’d think.

Or it’s some sort of conspiracy. Yeah, lets go with that one.

Oh, so I guess “It’s the White House for a reason” is a thing now.  Alex Zeagler’s is my favorite: “on the off chance this is racist, don’t worry ‘coz it’s not offensive.”

That reason is because, you know, it’s a house that is white.

God I hate people…but especially these people.

Because it’s totally not racist if you say it’s not racist…. bastards!

Casual racism is racism.

Racism rooted in ignorance is racism.

Ignoring that racism exists is racism.

Racism is racism.

The only rational response

Is a gay person joining your training program? Is it illegal to bar him on the basis of his gayness? The principal had no choice.
