    Anti-LGBT Activists ‘Testing’ Target By Sending Men Into Women’s Rooms

    solarbird:

    The American Family Association, an anti-queer hate group, on the “bathroom panic” they’ve been helping raise against letting transgendered people use washrooms appropriate to their gender identity: “we’ve already had people testing this, going into Targets, and men going into bathrooms, there is absolutely no barrier”

    Once again: every part of this is an active construction by the fundamentalist right. Every single part of it. And one of the goals is to intimidate women and police femininity – as well as boost fundamentalist voter turnout in November, of course.

    There are still zero documented cases of transgendered people misbehaving in washrooms; there have still been more cases of Republican Senators doing so, and far more cases of Republican officeholders in a general sense; there is now an absolute wave of intentional, political intimidation of women in washrooms, by the fundamentalist movement, to create panic towards and violence against transgendered people.

    After Darsh’s photo was used in an Islamophobic joke, the internet rallied around him in love and respect. His response on MSNBC is the definition of poise and rising above the hate.

    Cheese Rolling at Cooper’s Hill, a centuries-old competition, is taken very seriously by those involved.

    The winner of the 2014 competition says he is very proud of himself, but doesn’t really like cheese.

    Yet another thing that you probably thought Pratchett made up ;)

    Ah, I’m so proud of my home country sometimes.

    Donald Trump actually defended Bernie Sanders as a fellow outsider against the ‘corrupt’ establishment

    Trump’s redemption arc begins.

    I’m thinking less redemption arc and more stopped clock is right twice a day

    fOR THE SINNER ON THE GO THE BLOOD AND BODY OF CHRIST IN ONE CONVENIENT TIDY PACKAGE 

    make sure not to store these too close to the K-cups or this will end badly.  eat the coffee grounds, drink the Jesus!

    Soooo, do they transubstantiate in the factory, or does that have to be done locally?

    Also: “But moooom, I thought it was going to be jell-o!”

    Just make sure you stop after opening the second seal. If you keep going, things get apocalyptic fast

    SERIOUSLY SERIOUS EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS

    i HATE doing this. I hate begging for money. But hopefully what I offer in exchange is something you’ll find of value.

    My husband has been working three jobs. In February, he lost one of them. Another one is barely giving him hours. I’m currently running a start-up jewelry business that barely pays for itself. I have $90USD in the bank right now. Another $50 comes out on Friday. My family has nothing but $40 to live on until May 15. Twelve days. And to be honest, when that next paycheck comes, it won’t be enough for us to live on, either.

    We haven’t paid our rent. I have no idea how we are going to do it. Heck, I don’t know how we are going to buy groceries and gas to get my husband to and from work. We’re drowning in credit card debt and don’t have any way to get a loan.

    I have a six-year-old son. I don’t know how I’m going to feed him.

    So I’m begging. Please consider helping me out. I’m offering sketch card commissions, 2.5×3.5 inches, Copic marker on cardstock.

    Pricing:

    • Line art, 1 character: $10 USD
    • Line art, 2 characters: $15 USD
    • Color, 1 character: $20 USD
    • Color, 2 characters: $30 USD
    • If you want the original, shipping costs apply.
    • Payments are through Paypal

    All commissions of this size will be bust up, and I need references for any OCs. If you want something different, something bigger, something more elaborate, send me an ask, and I’ll work with you.

    I ask for half payment up front, at which point I will begin a sketch for your approval. Once the sketch is approved, you can pay the rest.

    If you don’t like my art, I also make jewelry. That’s what my start-up business is. If you head on over to wickedqueensmirror.etsy.com, you can see some of the things I have to offer. Examples:

    I also write. If you want something written for you, contact me and I’ll work with you.

    And I’ve never, ever asked this before, but if you’re not interested in any of the above, please consider making a donation through Paypal to clsmailbox (a/t) yahoo.com. At this point, I’m not above groveling.

    Thanks so much. Signal boosts are HUGELY appreciated.

    Cherie is amazing.

    I have both art and jewelry from her, and her work is amazing, too.

    I cannot recommend her highly enough. She puts an immense amount of thought into small details and making sure you are happy with her work. You will not be disappointed.

    BEHOLD THE HORRID GLORY OF CRAW-BOB THE LAWN CRAYFISH HE LIVES HE HUNGERS HE IS ABOUT THREE AND A HALF INCHES LONG THEY SAID I WAS MAD WHEN I SPOKE OF LAWN CRAYFISH BUT WHO IS LAUGHING NOW!?

    (ahem)

    Hound went out in a rainstorm and poked something, which poked her back, and this sequence ended in me balancing a phone and a flashlight. I took a gazillion photos, of which two came out.

    Lawn Crayfish are a known phenomenon throughout the south and up through the Midwest to Ohio and Indiana and nobody knows they exist because nobody who knows thinks to mention it with the end result that a lot of people encounter one and start screaming hysterically because why is there a lobster in the flowerbed!?

    He is named Craw-Bob and I have met one like him before and tried to get him out of a hole with a piece of salami on a string and he took the salami away from me but I couldn’t get a photo and basically I’m very happy.
