It’s also easy to dehumanize strangers by “lumping” them with their web sites or their demographics: “the Jezebel girls are all so X,” “gay dads are always complaining about Y,” “everybody on Tumblr is Z.” I think part of making things “personal” involves remembering that the people who put things on the Internet are individuals, both in the sense that they have feelings and that they’re not all elected representatives, sent to Internet Congress to speak on behalf of all Asians or alcoholics or teen detectives or Klingons.
Where do I put all of this excitement for camp? It doesn’t quite fit inside of me.
maybe try painting, or drawing with markers
I FINALLY GOT PAYPAL. now can you please get your “straddle this” shirts back? prettyyyy please? :((
We are getting the A-Team shirts back! You have to ask Alex about the “Straddle This” shirts.
Did Autostraddle coin the term “alternative lifestyle hairuct?” Need to know who to cite. Thank youuuu!
yes, we did, but i think technically it was actually johnny mcgovern who said it for the first time, describing me and carly’s hairstyles when we did the gay pimp podcast back in like june 2009:

well then
i want to believe the things that i tell everyone about myself. i want to actually believe that i am going to be successful, that i deserve anything in this world, that i am beautiful or smart or funny or anything. i want to believe that i can be happy without the help of some ridiculous pill, that it’s all in my control, i just have to be better in one way or another, stop being so obsessive, or overanalytical, or anti-social, or whatever it is. and then, also, i’m absolutely petrified of being “fixed,” so to speak, because, in many ways, depression is my closest friend, closer to me than anyone else has ever gotten, will ever get. it’s the only real friend i have ever had.
via one long longing (2003) [someone mentioned this to me tonight, b/c i linked to it from the glee recap. sometimes it’s good to read these things and feel like i’ve made some progress on something]
any article that begins with “The National Organization for Marriage has run out of appeals ” wins my heart automatically
