This is probably exactly what I would look like if someone told me I couldn’t have anymore bacon. Bacon is serious shit, man.

Condom commercial written and directed by a woman. Condoms don’t need to be sexy, we just need to know that they’ll work! Fucking brilliant.
this is awesome
A++++
WAIT - A CONDOM COMMERCIAL THAT DOESN’T SEXUALIZE WOMEN
WHAAAAAAT?!
Actually the greatest
Oh my gosh, I am obsessed! This commercial is hysterical.

Is it terrible if, when someone posts something (especially on fb) that’s all ‘OMG GUYS READ THIS,’ but haven’t actually checked to see if it’s true, I question their intelligence? I mean, at least run it through Snopes. Or Google it. It takes 3 seconds.
No, there are not spiders hiding under toilets that will bite you and give you hallucinations (or whatever). No, Marty McFly did not set today as the date in Back to the Future (It’s October 21, 2015). No, a black man was not reassigned a seat on a plane in business class after a racist white woman threw a fit (although I do find that tale highly entertaining). And seriously, DO NOT PUT IN YOUR PIN NUMBER BACKWARD IF YOU ARE BEING HELD AT GUNPOINT. Most banks have daily withdrawal limits and if you do not usually take out that much cash, it can be flagged internally as fraud.
So, please, research before you post. Don’t be the girl on that one commercial who goes on a date with a slobby liar because he says he’s a French model and ‘they can’t post anything on the Internet that isn’t true.’
This has been a Public Service Announcement from your (eh, I’m not really all that) friendly, local Kristen.
Yup. Disney sure was racist before they added a black woman.
Because everyone knows that the only races there are in the world is black and not black.
Silly Disney.
While I love Princess and the frog, the idea that Disney hadn’t done any other racial differences is mindblowing. I mean really?
Add to that the “Ooh, mixed race couple! How inclusive!” argument.
Because Disney
Has never
Done that
The last one isn’t even the same fucking species.
I think this was the whole point of that last one.
I doon’t think there was a white person in this movie.

Isa is definitely in explorer mode tonight. She will not stop moving!
I seriously just had to teach my mother some basics of parenting.
Both photos are of my daughter in October, the first in 2011, the second in 2012. I let her pick out her own clothes, shoes, haircuts, hair colors, anything superficial, really. She’s too young to understand the permanence of piercings, so she doesn’t have any. But hair grows, shoes get grown out of, clothes go threadbare. These things don’t really matter—shouldn’t really matter—but anyone raising a gender-variant child knows the world isn’t that kind.
My daughter recently requested a haircut like mine. A long flop on top, pixie-length fade on the back and sides. She’s been bugging me for weeks to color her hair again, I just haven’t had the time. But today she came to me with the same shyness she keeps developing when outside our home; she’s being pressured by peers and family to look “normal,” to grow her hair long and uncolored, to dress a certain way (she hates to match), to indulge in self-consciousness, and alter or not alter her appearance to gain the approval of others, and society at large.
THIS FUCKING INFURIATES ME.
I called my mother tonight, because my daughter had become shy again, and didn’t want to color her hair anymore, and she said it was because of what her Nana had said to her. My mother told me we should get that spray-on Halloween hair colors, so it wouldn’t be so “permanent” and my daughter could be “normal” again to avoid being bullied.
IT IS NOT THE JOB OF THE VICTIM TO STOP BEING BULLIED. IT IS THE BULLY’S JOB TO STOP BULLYING.
I know she gets teased sometimes, and we always talk about it. She stays strong and confident, so long as she has the support of those around her. But what that support falters, or pulls a 180, she’s left to crash.
She also gets teased for liking dinosaurs and not dolls. She gets teased for preferring roughhousing to playing house. She gets teased for liking Lightning McQueen and not Cinderella. Where do we draw the line?
My mother thinks this is a “minor” thing, that it’s better to just blend in. But it would plant the seed of doubt, it forms the foundation for queer kids staying in the closet, for disabled kids to feel worthless, for young girls accepting abusive partners. This is not “minor,” it is fucking MAJOR, because this is my daughter’s foundation, and it will shape her life.
Support your fucking kids. Let them be who they want to be, look how they want to look, and play how they want to play. And make sure they know that you will love them no matter what.
Will always beblog this.
This girl has a hundred thousand people behind her
Parenting: You’re doing it right.
I liked Hot Wheels and short hair and baggy clothes and I would like to think that I turned out fucking great.

Oh, hey. Definitely graduated with a kid who went 3rd round to the Jets. Good luck, Brian!
This is a really interesting short film about a heterosexual girl in a world where homosexuality is the norm.
It hits home with me, based on my experiences growing up in a (relatively) small town with a homosexual sister. Some of these things happened to both her and me.
- what she says: im fine
- what she means: im doug dimmadome, owner of the dimmsdale dimmadome
