Monday evening, gay men on Twitter took the media — especially gay-centric media like Out and The Advocate — to task for what they deemed a lack of inclusion and diversity regarding representation. The conversation began when black queer rapper Mykki Blanco retweeted Sony music songwriter Jesse Saint John. Many users called out the gay media for its criminal and tragic depiction of gay men of color.
I notice on tumblr there is always a long ass debate going on about something that quite frankly, is terrifying that it’s even considered debatable. I’m gonna assume the demographics is between 17-30 here, and assume (hopefully) most of us aren’t having kids without being emotionally and financially ready. That said…listen. Maybe this next generation will be less bitter if we pass on and/or eliminate some things. –Don’t rape. Don’t catcall. Stop calling women hoes and thots and bitches. Girls, you too. It’s old. Teach your kiddos to respect all bodies. No body is ugly. Only a personality can be ugly. Fact. –Don’t be racist. White people, I’m talking to you. –Don’t assume “all ______ people do ______.” (This goes for all races however.) –Don’t assume if X, then Y. If one likes Sharpova it doesn’t mean they’re racist against Serena. (I’m team Serena though) –Stop shitting on new ideas because they scare you. Change is good. Change is needed. Especially now. –Don’t assume if it’s on tumblr with 100,000 notes it’s true. It’s very possible 100,000 ill informed/stupid people reposted something. –Tumblr is just tumblr. Reposting something doesn’t make you a revolutionary–so stay the fuck in school. Complain about it ON tumblr, but don’t think you’re Rosa Parks because you reblogged a picture with a deep caption you didn’t write. –If you wanna “shut it down” for ANY cause, write emails, get your ass in the streets, harass your city representatives…reblogging with a hashtag is rarely gonna fix anything. –Be nice. –Stop buying Iggy Azelia records. She’ll go away. –Rihanna is not the queen. Aretha Franklin is. –Stop talking about Trump and he’ll disappear. I promise. Just like Iggy. –The Kardashians are only famous because you want and allow them to be. –Kanye is not the greatest of all time. Jimi is. –You can say “all lives matter” AFTER we solve the white supremacy problem and aliens declare war on us as a human race. Until then, no. No. No.
Three cheers for these guys [x]
In 1997, 14-year-old Nathan Zohner got 43 out of 50 9th graders to vote in favor of banning dihydrogen monoxide, also known as water. The hoax was a science fair project, which he titled ‘How Gullible Are We?’ He not only won the science fair, but also inspired the term 'Zohnerism,’ defined as 'the use of a fact to lead a scientifically ignorant public to a false conclusion.’ Source Source 2 Source 3
