If you’ve never visited the (now dead, I’m pretty sure) RT Demotivational Posters group on the site, you should. Even though it’s no longer updated, there are some gems.
How much does Saudi Arabia hate women? So much so that 15 girls died in a school fire in Mecca in 2002, after “morality police” barred them from fleeing the burning building — and kept firefighters from rescuing them — because the girls were not wearing headscarves and cloaks required in public. And nothing happened. No one was put on trial. Parents were silenced.
I’m not one to push feminism, because I think we have it fucking great in the U.S. but I am completely, 100% against the way women are treated in other places. This is when I am a feminist. When women cry here because they don’t make as much as men, fuck you, because there are bigger things to worry about.
They say I’m half a man, but what does that make the lot of you? There’s another way out, I’ll show you. We’ll come out, and fuck them in their asses!…

My room after four to six hours of work. Not sure exactly because i forgot when i started exactly. Catastrophe, it is no longer. Disaster is more accurate, perhaps.
Vinny Santorini (Atlantis: the Lost Empire) // We done a lot of things we’re not proud of. Robbing graves, eh, plundering tombs, double parking. But, nobody got hurt. Well, maybe somebody got hurt, but nobody we knew.

I found my Monster. No maiming will occur. And now that I have and have been drinking it, I am much more productive because i am not as easily distracted and have more willpower to put down the distractions after a shorter period of time. With the exception of a break that was supposed to be a half hour and went an hour and a half beyond that…
I’ve had librarians say to me, “People in my school don’t agree with homosexuality, so it’s difficult to have your book on the shelves.” Here’s the thing: Being gay is not an issue, it is an identity. It is not something that you can agree or disagree with. It is a fact, and must be defended and represented as a fact.
To use another part of my identity as an example: if someone said to me, “I’m sorry, but we can’t carry that book because it’s so Jewish and some people in my school don’t agree with Jewish culture,” I would protest until I reached my last gasp. Prohibiting gay books is just as abhorrent…
Discrimination is not a legitimate point of view. Silencing books silences the readers who need them most. And silencing these readers can have dire, tragic consequences. Never forget who these readers are. They are just as curious and anxious about life as any other teenager.

SERIOUSLY! I’m sick of LGBTQ culture being treated as just some political issue. Queer people aren’t just a handful of people who want to get married, okay? We’re real, and we’re fucking important, and we need to be represented accurately and positively in the media and on the book shelf, especially in schools, where kids are still discovering who they are and maybe they feel really alone and they need a book they can relate to …

I wonder if anyone’s every paid this bridge a visit with a pair of bolt cutters…
