Now that the post is over 10k and my notes are straight-up unusable...

One thing I wish I'd spelled out more explicitly in the original post because I see this point getting lost on a lot of rebloggers who don't understand why the healthcare thing was such a big deal is like

The subtext I thought would be understood bc I lived back then but apparently has been lost today is that making sure queer employees and their partners had healthcare in the early 90s meant Disney was paying for a lot of AIDS treatment.

This is one reason fundie Christians were so upset and queer employees were so grateful. It's one reason why it was such a controversial decision. It was a major talking point amongst my family, who believed back then that AIDS was a punishment from God.

(Some still do, I think. We don't talk.)

I keep seeing people saying that Disney only chose that option "because of their bottom line" and it's like??? Were you listening??? Disney has been paying for that decision for literally decades, but they've stood by it.

Like... the 90s weren't like now! It wasn't profitable to cater to the queer population of the country back then. They weren't raking in money with this.

It's in no way a perfect company but I fully believe in criticizing people for the specific things they do wrong and praising them for the specific things they do right. Disney has fucked copyright, monopoly, and labor laws and I'm not about to defend that. But they are well known in FL for being friendly to both queer people and disabled people, and that is unambiguously a good thing.

(Like side note, I could talk about Disney and accessibility for days. I have traveled extensively while disabled and no one does it like Disney.)

I've had people reblogging the post like "I straight-up don't believe Disney is an industry leader in equal protections for queer employees" and it's like ??? do you think I just pulled this out of my ass? If you want more information, go look it up! You'll see that this is well-established history. It's not my fault y'all don't read! :|

First of all, how are these five years old already.

Sgaeyl: Hurry, Tairn, I need you.

Tairn *already on his way*: What happened? Is the Golden One in danger?

Sgaeyl: No, no, I have that covered. But my idiot of a rider is horny as fuck for this pint-sized woman here and if she gets herself killed before he can mate her, he'll mope around forever. So I need a way for her not to die too quickly.

Tairn:... you've got be kidding me...

I recall a Christmas dinner where I went to a restaurant and spent the afternoon with John and Yoko and Paul and Linda. We spent the day together. We had our meal and we returned to the Dakota. Interviewer: What was the chemistry like between John and Paul? Tempered. Measured. I don’t know why I was invited along. The only reason I could think of was as some kind of buffer. (The song “I Know (I Know)” begins to play) I know and I’m sorry but I never could speak my mind Yoko loved Linda McCartney. I mean the two of them were real friends. They spoke the same language. And they spent most of their time on that occasion talking to each other. John was talking primarily to Paul and I was talking primarily to the couch. But I had an opportunity to observe them and hear them, and there was no turmoil, no poor conduct. By the time that John was taken from us, all of his issues with Paul had been laid to rest. He loved Paul. Today I love you more than yesterday, right now I love you more right now They had their moments, you know, he described it as something like a marriage where there were disagreements and of course, in their case, played out in a public stage And I know it’s getting better all the time as we share in each other’s minds But he loved Paul dearly and by the time that it ended, Paul had that special place in his heart.

Elliot Mintz, spokesperson for John and Yoko in the 70’s, interviewed for LENNON 360, an audio docuseries produced by the Lennon estate. (Transcript includes lyrics to the song "I Know (I Know)" as they were featured in the interview)

The funniest part of this short has to be the fact that it proves Verosika was in no way, shape or form exaggerating when she said Blitzo was a shitty lover back in Ozzie's. If anything, it makes you wonder just how goddamned awful Stolas' sex life was with Stella for him to become so enamoured with Blitzo after that first time.

[archduchessgortash]

I wish there were more Durgetash fans who liked them softer. I'm not knocking those who want them full-blast evil and ruling Faerun because that is fun to imagine. But, am I the only one who doesn't buy Durge as a feral animal? Or Gortash as a completely irredeemable waste of flesh?

Eh, I probably am.

I just... I think the Gortash we get in-game is not the same person that he was with Durge, and truth be told, many Durge 'facts' are highly debatable as facts at all. What if they really were good together? And not in a 'I'll hold them while you gut them sort of way.' In a 'holy Hells, THIS is what it feels like to be happy' sort of way.

Yup, just me being crazy over here.

absolutely in love with how star trek is set in a near-utopian future where discrimination and inequality are almost non-existent and then you just have leonard “i will call you a slur without hesitating” mccoy looming in the corner like >:)

I'm so *tired* of trying to follow bigots down their rabbit holes of nonsense to scream reason at them. Showing them the logical fallacies, the contradictions, the lack of evidence, the misinformation in big block letters. I'm so so so tired of approaching hatred as though it is just ignorance, as though if you can walk them through the logic, they'll deradicalize.

You're hurting people and that's bad.

That's it. That's the whole debate. Attacks on reproductive freedom, attacks on queer folks, profit first health care, 2nd amendment nuts,all if it.

You're hurting people. That's bad. You've come up with a thousand buzzwords and talking points and twisted little arguments to tell yourself that it's good, but it's not and that's it.

It doesn't matter how you define a woman or if the founding fathers would have supported AR15 ownership or if the primary purpose of sex is conception or whatever dumb little arguments get thrown around. People are being hurt and thats bad. That's the whole issue and I'm so tired.
