Women: Trans people have never attacked anyone in a restroom before – it’s really not something we’re worried about.
Republicans: It doesn’t matter! We need to keep WOMEN SAFE from SEXUAL ASSAULT at ALL COSTS!
Women: We need to do something about the disturbing number of rapes on college campuses.
Republicans: Have you tried not dressing like a slut?

As a white feminist who is trying every day not to be a White Feminist™, I want to do everything I can to be an ally to WOC without ever speaking over them.

So if I mistakenly reblog something that is not for me, please tell me (anon or not – whatever makes you comfortable), and I will take it down immediately.

my favorite part about stranger things is that one scene in the first episode where dustin brings the last slice of pizza to nancy’s room and is all like “hey you want it?” because at first i was like. here we go. we gotta deal with the trope of a kid having a crush on his friend’s older sister now again. oh joy.

but no. no that’s not what happened at all. he doesnt have a crush on her. it turns out dustin genuinely just wanted to know if nancy wanted the last slice of pizza because he’s just a nice kid. i love him.

Bake Off is not about the money, or even really about the winning. Bake Off is a magical world of bunting and scones and dapper lesbian comedians making ridiculous puns about buns and gentle, worried people getting in a flap about pastry. There are very few hysterics. Legend has it that if anybody has a real breakdown in the middle of a signature bake, presenters Mel Giedroyc and Sue Perkins stand next to them repeating brand names and swear-words so the cameramen can’t use the footage, and don’t you dare disabuse me of that fact, because I want it to be true.

Laurie Penny on why The Great British Bake Off is the best thing on television (obviously, as discussed on episode 12).

I’ve heard that too. That they just curse and repeat brand names until their faces are blue just to a) save the contestant the humiliation and b) make them laugh because who isn’t gonna laugh when you have Sue and Mel screaming “TESCO, ASDA, SAINSBURY’S” in front of an exasperated crew.

I dug up proof because I needed to know if this was true – so here is Sue talking about it
