Dear followers, new and old, this blog is very very dead. I will not be deleting it for my own reasons, but I can’t understand how people are still hitting “follow” when I’ve written all over the popup and my page that I’m not using it.
I am more than happy for any of you to follow my new blog if you want to.

I accidentally posted this a couple of days ago instead of just saving it, so now it’s done. I started working on an answer to this a little while ago, and it will be the last post I make on this blog. For a lot of reasons, I can no longer justify updating it anymore. I feel very strongly that it’s reached an end. I do have a new blog that I will be using from now on, and the link is on the left. I plan on using it a little differently (hopefully more mutuals rather than just followers, definitely more Aaliyah songs).
I would like to also say that I’m very glad the last meme of 2014 was making fun of Iggy Azalea instead of me having to end the year seeing Pepe and Feels Guy climbing 90 degree angles because they crave that mineral. Thanks for not letting me down, internet. It’s been a good run.
This is a suicide prevention hotline for trans folks, by trans folks. I’m REALLY concerned about “suicide contagion” after the tragic death of Leelah Alcorn, so please reblog this as vigorously as you can.
it makes me so disgusted how people in america are so quick to make fun of someones foreign accent without realizing that multilingualism is an unremarkable necessity of everyday life for the majority of the world’s population and that being monolingual and ignorant is a lot more embarrassing than any accent ever will be
White men make up approximately 36% of the population, but commit 75% of mass shootings. What would be called terrorism by any other skin tone is suddenly some mysterious unnamed disease. We as a society are perfectly happy to further stigmatize mentally ill people, who are far more likely to be victims of violence than commit violence, in the service of protecting white supremacy and male entitlement.
