When your partner misgenders you 😁😁😁😁😁

(Trigger Warning: rape) Well, I couldn’t find any statistics on what percent of interactions in which a woman turns down sexual advances by a man end in violence. However, I did find a study on what percent of men are rapists. (http://www.davidlisak.com/wp-content/uploads/pdf/RepeatRapeinUndetectedRapists.pdf) It found that (roughly) 6.3% of men have raped or attempted to rape someone. The majority of those had done so more than once, and averaged 5.8 times. The rapists had also committed an average of roughly 10 “acts of interpersonal violence, including rape, battery, and child physical and sexual abuse.” 6.3% might not seem like a lot, but it’s definitely enough to justify trust issues.

too true.

Spotted on campus today.

I know that sometimes a door will say it has an alarm when it does not really have an alarm, and instead just serves a rebellious and convenient shortcut. [In bold and all caps:] THIS DOOR 100% ACTUALLY HAS AN ALARM. [End bold and caps.] Don’t open it! It’s extremely annoying! [Bold and caps again:] THE ALARM IS REAL AND WILL MAKE A LOUD SOUND. [End bold and caps.] Thanks. [End image description.]]

*transgender but otherwise this is a nice list. Off the top of my head, I can also add Fires of the Faithful/ Turning the Storm to the fantasy section -- it’s mostly a fantasy novel, but it has two very prominent lesbian characters.

This is a list I made for YALSA’s The Hub on the wide range of YA literature featuring LGBTQ characters. See the full post and a downloadable pdf here. 

Unpopular Opinion

I enjoyed reading Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.

For the record the ACLU considers enforcing dress codes differently based on gender to be a violation of Title IX. If you do this again and they send home girls but not boys for the same dress code violation you can threaten to sue them, that’s usually pretty effective.

MY SCHOOL DRESS CODE IS FUCKING SEXIST AND WE STARTED A MOVEMENT

SOOO I go to Bangor High School in the state of Maine and yesterday our assistant principal told us “to the ladies we don’t want to see you’re bodies, no bra straps, no short shorts, and no crop tops, it’s a distraction” So my friend Cat started a movement at our highschool asking everyone to participate in breaking the sexist dress code and wear spaghetti straps, and crop tops, and short shorts. Even the male student body made bra strap bracelets to support our cause and wore cut open muscle tanks. ONLY FEMALE STUDENTS WERE SENT HOME. BOYS ENTIRE CHESTS WERE SHOWING BUT OUR MIDDRIFTS GOT US IN TROUBLE. WE HAD TO MISS OUT ON OUR EDUCATION TO MAKE SURE THE MALE STUDENT BODY GOT THEIRS. TO MY SCHOOL IM SAYING FUCK YOU. TO MY FOLLOWERS PLEASE HELP ME PUT THIS SHIT ON BLAST!!!!!!

If you are a non-Jewish person attempting to be inclusive of Jewish holidays and traditions, but your method of doing so starts from the assumption that Judaism is exactly like Christianity but with less Jesus, and/or that Hanukkah is just like Christmas but eight days long and harder to spell, you are doing it wrong.

(Hanukkah traditions: not actually Christmas traditions with a different color scheme! Including Jewish traditions: not actually talking about Hanukkah exactly like Christmas but with the name of the holiday switched around! Judaism and Christianity are different and their holidays are different. If you actually want to include Jewish people, recognizing these differences is an important step.)

I could probably hit up ye olde googleheim for this but I wonder how they chose the order for LGBTQIA like … what type of alphabet

Honestly the Hufflepuffs would probably leave their wifi unlocked intentionally so that if you were away from your tower you could use it.

Hogwarts WiFi Passwords

Let’s get real, it’s a school filled with wizards and controlled by wizarding adults. The Hogwarts Wifi password would be “password.” At best, it would be “hogwarts.”

But as for the individual houses…

Slytherin:

Network Name: The Dungeons

Password: 6FBb9w52 [changed monthly to protect from potential leaks]

Gryffindor:

Network Name: The Best House Ever

Password: Gryffindor1 [was “Gryffindor” for 6 years straight, but they changed it after too many unwelcome visitors]

Ravenclaw:

Network Name: Ravenclaw Tower Wifi

Password: fire [Prefects will only give the password in riddle form, it’s up to students to work out what the actual password is.The password is also changed frequently. In this case, the riddle is “Give me food, and I will live. Give me water, and I will die. What am I?”]

Hufflepuff:

Network Name: PuffPuff

Password: Pass

In seventh grade, there was this girl in my class that was convinced that I was dating a tenth grader -- not any specific tenth grader, just one of them. One day, she saw me talking to another student (actually a ninth grader, but she didn’t know that).

 She then came up to me and said something to the effect of, “Suuuure you aren’t dating a tenth grader. I saw you and him talking in the hallway, obviously you must be dating.” 

“That doesn’t even make sense!” I said. “By that logic, you and I are dating, since we’re in the hallway and talking right now. Since we aren’t, there is clearly a flaw in your reasoning.”

Someone in my class overheard this and decided that this meant that she and I were actually dating.

This girl, who at the time was rather homophobic, was extremely bothered by this rumor, and vehemently denied it. This only served to convince our classmates that it was true.

In the end, the rumor stopped spreading because people became convinced I was dating a different person instead.
