Hmmmm, How About, Say, Sexist People?

soulmate au where instead of your soulmates first words to you written on your skin it’s their last words you ever hear them say so you don’t know who your soulmate is until you lose them

Here, have some recommendations of Advanced Gay literature!

1. Fires of the Faithful/ Turning the Storm by Naomi Kritzer. This duet is mostly a fantasy novel; the protagonist is also lesbian. There are some religious themes, but the protagonist could probably best be described as agnostic-ish. You can find the first one on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Fires-Faithful-Naomi-Kritzer/dp/0553585177

2. Proxy by Alex London. I’m not sure if it quite qualifies as Advanced Gay literature, as homophobia still exists in that universe and negatively affects one of the two protagonists, who is gay. I’m granting it a spot on the list mostly because the main problems are not the result of homophobia. It’s on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Proxy-Alex-London/dp/014751133X

3. The Just City by Jo Walton. This book is about a group of people trying to set up Plato’s Republic. If you don’t like philosophy, you’ll probably find it boring, but if you do, especially Plato’s works, you might like it. Several characters are mentioned to be in relationships with people of the same gender. Although sexual attraction to anyone is discouraged, this isn’t applied any more harshly to the same-gender-attracted characters. I will warn you that there are a few rape scenes, so if that bothers you you should probably stay away. It’s on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Just-City-Thessaly-Jo-Walton/dp/0765332663

Those are just the first few to come to mind; if you want more recommendations message me.

Yes, of course. Not letting boys wear skirts is still a form of sexism.

Reblog if you think it's ok for boys to wear skirts

How much support we got out there?

Thanks!

I believe Anita is @seriouslywhodidthis, though she hasn’t posted on that account recently, so she may have created another blog.

WHERE ARE YOU

okay but derby names are the best, and I shall I name some of my favorites:

You can't really say for all of American students how much homework they get, I'd also rephrase that bc it sounds like you're saying they're at fault for doing what kids do which is explore their world and learn through social interactions. Today it includes social media and Netflix and it may not be the best use of their time but most teens can't function the same way as adults.

Right, that’s why I tried to qualify it by saying “at most schools.” My school is known for giving a lot of homework, and that’s largely what I’m basing my observations off of since I don’t spend that much time with people at other schools. (Other American high school students are welcome to chime in here! I don’t claim to speak for everyone.)

You may be right that it sounds like I’m blaming them. If you have suggestions for rephrasing feel free to send me them.

the oompa loompas are a greek chorus

Doing a test

Reblog this if you would buy a book with an LGBTQ main character, whose sexuality was not the primary focus of the novel

If you would not, reblog this.

My favorite one is, “come on Star Wars be original,” as if putting a man in the lead would be cutting edge stuff. Anyway…

GOP: We must follow the Constitution THE THE LETTER ALL THE TIME NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE THE FOUNDING FATHERS!

Me: Oh, okay. Glad you mentioned that. See, here's this thing in the Constitution where it says that the president shall appoint Supreme Court Justices, and now that there's a vacancy on the Supreme Court, President Obama's Constitutional duty is to appoint a new justice.

GOP: But Obama is in his last year of office!

Me: You mean like Ronald Reagan was when he nominated Anthony Kennedy?

GOP: But

Me: Yeah, go ahead and say something critical of Ronald Reagan.

GOP: Well. He. It. See. Ronald Rrrrreee...

Me: I'll wait. Take your time.

GOP: RrRrrrOoooonnnnaLllddddddd.......

Me: Are you okay?

GOP: Rrrrrreeeaaagggg gggg gggg gggg ggbbzzt bzzt bzzzzzt

Me: Are ... are you having a system freeze?

GOP: (a)bort, (r)etry, (f)ail?

Me: Let's go with fail. That's what you're best at.
