This week on the internet has lasted seven years and I am so tired and dehydrated! I have to call a bank today (I HAVE TO) so I’ve withheld all the great fun things I want to do — like read the new Kristen Arnett essay that I link to below or organizing my gift list — until AFTER I’ve called them, because I am a proper adult with impulse control and a healthy attitude toward responsibility.

I suppose that this is the post for this. Apparently Chloë Grace Moretz (Star of “The Miseducation of Cameron Post”) might now have a girlfriend.

I’m a historian of gender and sexuality, and these new tumblr rules make me very sad. If properly preserved, tumblr could have been an amaaaazing source for future historians, but now all of that will be lost.
Why even go to tumblr now?
Fried Green Tomatoes is totally a lesbian classic
I almost didn’t read that Fried Green Tomatoes article because I thought it’d be preaching to the choir (me, I’m the choir)bbut it was really interesting and also I’d forgotten some things about the book.
Yeah it was a great article and now I wanna read it again
So can next year be 20BITEEN ?
Let’s make this happen!
Fried Green Tomatoes! Saw it at the cinema with my dad when I was twelve, fell in love with Ruth and Idgie’s dungarees and later asked my mom (who hadn’t seen it) if she thought it possible/ realistic that two women lived together like them. She said „yes“ and I remember being not completely satisfied with both my question and her answer.
Such a great movie
I strongly suspect that Haley Kiyoko is a chaos magician who shapes the universe to her will. She creates musical rituals and then releases them to us, and we all sing along, thus exponentially magnifying her power.
Am I serious? Who knows. DOESNT MATTER IT’S STILL 20GAYTEEN.
