The real problem with books-turned-movies isn’t “omg they didn’t include every single word in the book” it’s “omg they completely overlooked the main theme, threw out any significant allegories, took away all the emotional pull, an turned it into a boring action movie with a love triangle in it”

“Still, the evocation of religion as a veil for intolerance remains. In February, a lesbian couple took their newborn daughter to her first appointment with a Michigan pediatrician they’d chosen months earlier. When they arrived, they were told that the doctor, after “much prayer,” decided she could not treat a child of lesbians. The couple called the experience “humiliating,” but it was also legal, since there is no federal or Michigan law that explicitly prohibits discrimination against LGBT people. (All New England states have laws prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation.)
Several generations ago, black people were denied service at Southern lunch counters. Now, under a cloak of religious liberty, some business owners and lawmakers want to do the same to lesbians and gays. And such bans likely wouldn’t stop there. Could they next deny service to single mothers or followers of religions that differ from their own? Such a law isn’t a slippery slope; it’s a bottomless pit. What they are proposing is nothing more than archaic Jim Crow-era tactics covered in stained glass.”

but what about bisexual peggy carter getting super involved with queer activism in the 60s & inspiring steve rogers to explore his own bisexuality when he reads about it on her wikipedia page 40+ years later

NASA just found strong evidence of life on Mars
On Tuesday, NASA announced that its one-ton Curiosity rover made a surprising discovery on Mars: “burps” of organic methane gas that very well may be evidence of living microbes beneath the planet’s surface.

Instead of me having to explain why I don’t like rape jokes, how about you explain why you find them funny.
Dear people (especially other girls),
Do not criticize or tease a girl if she uses pads. Not everyone is comfortable using tampons. It’s not a big deal. You’re not better or more mature if you use tampons and someone else doesn’t. So knock it off.
Sincerely,
A girl who has seen this judgmental behavior happen more often than I would like
PSA to all my friends who jokingly ask if I’m still in junior high when I ask for a pad.
why can’t there be a boob transfer system for all women?? like, a girl can be like “I have an F cup and I really want to go down a couple of sizes because my back hurts” and a girl with an A cup could be like “Oh could you transfer some of ur boob tissue to me because I’d like to go up a size” and it would be done
do you have any idea how great that would be
ok but imagine if trans boys could donate their boobs to trans girls
