Couldn’t pass up an opportunity for me to show off my cute as hell outfits. 🍦🍦
I’m living for all this melanin appreciation!! 💖💖💖
on occasion, i browse the clearance racks at overpriced hipster-y boutiques cause from time to time you can find amazing deals, but being in Rich People Places always makes me a little nervous– and today when i was picking up a layaway from one of these shops, my nerves resulted in a story the shopkeepers are probably gonna be telling for quite a while.
i’d just come from the feed store for lizard food (ie: bugs), and it was like 95F out so they were slowly being smothered to death in my backpack. so when the clerk, who i’d overheard was only on her second day working there, gave me my fancy sundress in a bag way too big for it, i pulled out two dozen crickets in a plastic bag and a tub full of mealworms from my pack and set them gently on the bag so they could breathe better till i got home.
this girl’s eyes go wide and she looks imploringly back at the equally startled-looking manager helping her through the transaction, and i realize that this might look a little weird to folks who aren’t reptile keepers. so, instead of doing the logical thing and explaining that i’m feeding leopard geckos, i sorta chuckled and shrugged apologetically, and just said “dinner, y’know?”
for the briefest of moments, there was an awkward silence so sweaty and suffocating you could drown in it, and then, in true daytime comedy fashion,
the fucking crickets started chirping.
so i guess i’m never going back there ever again.

I think the younger you are the more likely you are to be certain My Immortal was written as a joke, partially because it’s the progenitor of pretty much all modern Bad Fanfiction Tropes, so when you read it now you think “oh they were trying to use as many bad fanfic tropes as possible, it’s clearly a joke” even though those tropes exist to make fun of My Immortal. My Immortal could have been written as a parody of bad fanfiction but it made such an impact on that subculture that it’s entirely possible that it only seems like a satire because it’s the original thing being satired.
My Immortal could’ve been an intentionally bad fanfic but that’s not a given. The uncertainty comes from the fact that My Immortal was written in a pre-My Immortal world, and the only reason it seems like a parody now is because we already know about My Immortal.
The other reason is “nobody talks like this, nobody writes like this, it has to be someone making a joke” but the thing is, I was a moderator on a fanfic site when My Immortal dropped, and yes, they really really did talk like that. There is not a single line in My Immortal that would’ve been out of place in 2006.

Presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump has generated an unceasing torrent of press attention that some estimate to be worth roughly $2 billion. Yet the central mystery at the very core of his persona—his inscrutable hairdo—has somehow, impossibly, remained unsolved. Until, perhaps, now.
A tipster who claimed knowledge of Trump’s hair recently came to Gawker with a potential solution to the enigma: Trump’s hair is not his own, costs tens of thousands of dollars for installation and upkeep, and comes from a man as mysterious as Trump is bombastic.
This solution that Trump, our tipster says, sought for his hair woes is a little-known, patented hair restoration treatment called a “microcylinder intervention.” It’s only performed by one clinic that we know of—Ivari International—where our source once sought treatment, and where he says he learned of Trump’s apparent patronage. What’s more, Ivari’s New York location was inside Trump Tower—on the private floor reserved for Donald Trump’s own office.
Gawker was unable to independently confirm Trump’s connection to Ivari; both Trump and Ivari did not respond to multiple and persistent requests for comment. But after extensive research into Ivari’s history, Ivari’s treatments, and the photographic record of Donald Trump’s hair, this is a potential answer—perhaps the first plausible one—to the riddle of Donald Trump’s hair.
Gawker has published an incredibly well-researched piece of investigative journalism on Donald Trump’s hair and you need to read the whole thing, you just can’t make this shit up

ok im like irritated that people keep reblogging that old ass post about mexico legalizing same-sex marriage from last year so here is better information (with sources!! most of them are in spanish im sorry.)
- same-sex marriage has been legal in mexico city since 2009 (effective 2010) and it was later ruled in aug 2010 that these marriages are valid throughout the whole country, which is why a lot of people will say that same-sex marriage has been legalized in mexico since 2010
- in may 2012 the secretary of state of quintana roo (a state in southeastern mexico) allowed for same-sex marriages to be performed in the state– the first marriage was performed in 2011 because there was nothing in the civil code that said you COULDN’T, but then the mayor annulled it, and then the secretary of state reversed THAT. it was an exciting time
- also in 2012 there was a case in oaxaca (a state in the southwest) which ruled that laws limiting marriage to a man and a woman were discriminatory and therefore unconstitutional. this meant that marriages could be legally performed in any state and be federally recognized even if the state didn’t allow it. a little bit confusing but still important– i’m sorry if there’s something i’ve missed here though because it’s a lot of legal jargon that i still have a hard time parsing
- in jan 2014 there was a case in puebla (a state in the east) involving a couple who were married in mexico city in 2012. they applied for spousal benefits in puebla and were denied. one of the complaintants ultimately died and so the case was dismissed by a lower court BUT the supreme court picked it up and ordered the marriage to be recognized by both puebla AND the mexican social security institute which MEANS all marriages and civil unions now must ALL receive the same benefits. very exciting!!
- in june 2015 (which is what that post is referring to) the mexican supreme court ruled that state bans on same-sex marriages are unconstitutional. this basically meant that same-sex marriage is entirely legal in mexico but because there still wasn’t legislation to follow it up civil registrars still had to follow state laws. but still, it was effectively legalized
- PERO LA LUCHA SIGUE!!! recently last month in may 2016 the current president of mexico announced he had signed an initiative to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. this will amend the constitution, which requires 2/3 majority support from congress and ratification from majority of the states. and so we wait
i know this is a lot of text but i want everyone to understand that the fight for lgbtq+ rights in mexico has been going on for a while now (even beyond this! this is just in recent history) and is not a new development. the impression i’m getting from everyone is “oh wow good for mexico catching up with the rest of us” when that isn’t true and i’m tired of everyone acting like mexico is some dirty backwards country
