I legitimately hate how comfortable cultural christians have gotten with reblogging and making all those jokes about how non cultural christians love christmas. There absolutely are some people who do love it, but cultural christians (yes including culturally christian atheists and pagans and whatnot) making all these jokes about how Jews or Muslims or people of any other religion love christmas food or music or even the holiday itself, just makes it feel like the whole “christmas is secular!!!” thing again. It’s not, and for many people who aren’t culturally christian (including myself) christmas season is isolating and irritating as hell. This is just the same assimilationist rhetoric again and again, but this time it’s fine because it’s a meme.

Anyways to any people who aren’t culturally christian, you’re allowed to hate christmas and the holiday season, you’re allowed to feel alienated and angry. You don’t have to pretend to like it, or pretend it’s secular. It isn’t and your feelings are perfectly valid. You don’t have to assimilate to be whole.

Cultural Christians can and should reblog but don’t fucking try anything in the comments.

November 13th is International Day of Kindness, and Autism Speaks has been promoting it by encouraging others to be kinder to autistic people, and the hypocrisy is just palpable. They do so much harm to autistic people and yet feel like they are in the position to tell others to be kind to us. I’d be laughable if it wasn’t so frustrating.

since we’re in that season, here’s your reminder not to donate money to the Salvation Army because they are super homophobic, racist, transphobic, etc etc. don’t give money to bigotry.

leftist antisemites are really everywhere on this hellsite making & reblogging their posts like “the Jews have too much power and privilege and actually their very recent genocide was not that bad compared to what my group experiences and antisemitism doesn’t even exist in my country and especially not in liberal spaces”

Good morning anarchist bitches, bisexuals conning the system, gays tearing down capitalism, trans optimistic nihilists, enby revolutionaries, and queer fairy ravers.

The only thing I love more than this show is all the interviews with Sarah and Cynthia and how loudly and clearly they talk about their characters’ relationship & why it matters.

Largely because of her childhood, Mildred has this ability to disconnect from people, which becomes a big hurdle for her as an adult with intimate relationships. In breaking all of that down the creative team as well as Sarah, what was your main goal in the portrayal of their relationship?

When you start thinking about how few lesbians there are depicted on screen, and then how many fewer lesbian couples that are depicted on screen and then lesbian couples that are actually played by real-life lesbians, it becomes a very small pool. Even just doing it was major. But there were things that we, particularly when we got into the later episodes [and saw where] they had the romance going, we sat down and said, “We can’t have this, we have to have this,” and they listened to us. That was really great. There wasn’t even going to be an onscreen kiss. We were like, we’ve got to have some physical component to this.

When you have these two queer characters and have two queer actresses playing them, that kind of speaks for itself. We’re at a point in Hollywood where we’re trying to be of greater representation to people who have been left out of the narrative, so I think it’s really important that when you’re telling people stories that either the writers or the actors actually have that experience. So in this case, they had me and Sarah and we spoke up when things didn’t seem genuine to us.

SAY THANK YOU SARAH PAULSON AND CYNTHIA NIXON FOR GIVING US THE REPRESENTATION WE NEEDED
