“flip it turn-ways”
“Hold onto your asses, assholders.” I FORGET is from BLGT. It is so beautiful and amazing it is a part of my cultural being.
My other favs are:

It’s a quick read and the whole thing is worth it.
I hate celebrity shit so much but this is a very public incident that is setting a terrible example to the general public. If you hit a woman, you’ll be defended and your...

FUCK NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN.
Of course it’s not dead, they won’t stop until they’ve pushed the public too far and Tyler Durden becomes a real person. It makes me wonder if the public outcry had been expected, and now that everyone feels grand for winning the First Internet War they can slide their new policies right...

wilwheaton:
The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has looked at tomorrow’s “Internet blackout” in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)—and it sees only a “gimmick,” a “stunt,” “hyperbole,” “a dangerous and troubling development,” an “irresponsible response,” and an “abuse of power.”

In the LGB and sometimes T and Q world, there is a rhetoric of identity stasis: I’ve always been this way. I was born gay and I will always be gay. It’s an understandable reaction to the dismissive phrase so often lobbed at us from the normative world: it’s just a phase.

On greatness and killing your ego.
dearcoketalk:
Dear Coquette,
How do I accept that I won’t ever be great or outstanding? I always thought I had talent, and maybe I’m not bad, but a great many people are far better. I can’t stop thinking this and it’s causing me great anxiety.
Kill your ego, because nothing you do will ever matter. That’s okay, though. It’s not just you. It’s all of us. It’s taken 100,000 years for our species...
