NY Times: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
NY Times: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
NY Times: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion? I don’t play poker on the Internet, either.

Because I love my fan friends on tumblr - y’all make the best gifs ever.
Come talk fan fic with me?
Also this article has amaaaazing naughty photos of Kirk, McCoy and Spock figures getting it on.
I honestly think “Sometimes, when three Star Fleet officers love each other very much…” is my favorite caption that I have ever written.

I was kinda wary about the series at first, because while it or something like it made by the Saami about/for the Saami was desperately needed in television, I’m not the biggest fan of the ladies fronting it and to be honest they have in the past come across as vacant bimboes more than anything.
But people do grow, and the show makes a point of...

– Holly over at The Pervocracy with an excellent 101 post on Consent Culture. Read the whole thing.
I used to want people to chide me into doing things because in some twisted way it meant that they really did want me around (because otherwise they were just being polite). I’ve started to get past...

This was never meant to be a fun and enjoyable activity. It was never meant to be one of those “LOOK BEYOND OUR DIFFERENCES, WE’RE ALL THE SAME” kind of things.
Why?
Because racism isn’t a fun thing. And unfortunately, we live in a society where we are not treated as equals. AND IT FEELS AWFUL. To the commenters who are up in arms about the treatment of the one white...

Look, I’m going to explain this as clearly as possible.
The exercise was to teach white people/white passing people about the daily racism that POC face by putting them in a position to be discriminated against constantly. This was the point of the “A Class Divided” exercise.

Personal disclosure time.
Some 3 years ago, I brought up racism in a discussion about a communal living space I was part of, and one of the White folks running the show said, “We already know this stuff.”
It was the only time I ever cried about racism in public. I was…

Five facts:
1. ACTA isn’t the “European” SOPA. It’s nearly GLOBAL, and will apply to every country that signs the treaty.
2. ACTA is far more aggressive. ACTA will not simply affect websites and have them blocked out of the internet - its measures go as far as surveillance of…
ACTA is really, really bad news. We fought SOPA, now let’s fight this.

“The Way It Was”: Abortion in the US before Roe v. Wade.
I’m just going to post this as often as possible until pro-lifers read it: abortion rates are the same everywhere, whether abortion is legal or not. 70,000 pregnant people die every year from unsafe abortions, and 5 million more are permanently injured or mutilated by them. KEEP IT LEGAL. KEEP IT SAFE....
