*gorillaz feel good inc laugh*
just because a television show doesn’t actively address a specific issue doesn’t mean they’re actively avoiding it either. you know what happens when you try to stuff every possible social debate under the sun into one show?
you get glee.
that’s what happens.

YOU KNOW WHAT GRINDS MY GEARS?
WHEN POC SAY AMERICANS RUIN EVERYTHING AND THEY THEMSELVES ARE AMERICAN?????? LIKE OH MAN THAT GRINDS MY GEARS LIKE NOBODY’S BUSINESS.
Ya’ll yell that America is NOT a white country and yet when it comes to the faults in the country it’s like shit it’s not us,…
HELLO BOYS I HAVE A QUESTION CAN YOU FEEL OUR BOOBS WHEN WE DO THE HUG
WE CAN FEEL YOUR BOOBS WHEN YOU WE DO THE HUG SORRY
IS THAT WHY YOU HUG US
BITCH IT MIGHT BE
Throughout my life I’ve always been told that I’m overreacting or being too sensitive or whatever bullshit like that to make me discount and doubt my feelings.
But like, if you do something that makes me feel bad, I don’t really think it matters whether or not you think it’s okay to say. I think it matters that your comment hurt me, regardless of whether or not it would hurt someone else.
You see what I’m saying? Feelings are relative. If I feel like you’re being a condescending asshole, then I don’t care whether you feel that way, or other people feel that way. You hurt me.
“You held my hand, but you were too afraid to speak, you were too afraid to speak and I could never understand.
I remember when you leaned in quick to kiss me, and I swear,
That not a single force on earth could stop the trembling of my hand,
And I remember how you smiled through the smoke
In a crowded little coffeehouse and laughed at all my jokes.” —La Dispute (via falldogsbombthemoon)

I had a disturbing exchange with a high school-aged person today that prompted this…
- Beer, wine, mead, and cider are fermented beverages.
- Mead is made from honey.
- Cider is made from apples.
- Beer is made from grains.
- Beer tastes like beer because they flavor it with hops.
- They used to flavor beer with dandelions.
- Ain’t that cute?
- All beer is either ale or lager.
- Ale is fermented at room temperature.
- Lager is brewed and store cold.
- Barleywine, bitter, porter, and stout are ales.
- Pilsner and bock are lagers.
- Most of the crap people drink in America is pale lager.
- Mosft of the crap people drink in Ireland is dry stout.
- Butterbeer isn’t real.
- (Except actually I think it is, and I heard it tastes like cream soda)
- Miruvor isn’t real, either, but it probably would taste like squash.
- Ent-draught isn’t real, either, but shit, it would be awesome if it were.
- Wine is made from fermented fruit juice, usually grapes.
- Red wine is made from red grapes.
- White wine is made from green grapes.
- The name of the grape is the name of the wine (Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot are all varieties of grape)
- Unless you live in France.
- In which case, the name of the place supersedes the name of the grape.
- (for example: Burgundies are made in Burgundy, France, but Burgundy wine can be Pinot Noir or Chardonnay)
- Champagne is any sparkling white wine.
- However, Champagne can also be wine that comes from Champagne, France.
- Drink red wine with beef. Drink white wine with fish.
- Act like it tastes good.
- Keep a Diet Coke in your bag for later.
- You’ll be fine.
- Brandy is distilled wine.
- Cognac is brandy aged in oak barrels.
- Don’t fuck around with the French about their cognac.
- Fortified wine is wine with added alcohol.
- Sherry is fortified white wine made in Spain.
- Port is fortified red wine made in Portugal.
- Vermouth is fortified white wine plus grape spirits.
- Sweet vermouth has added sugar.
- Dry vermouth has added spices like nutmeg.
- Liquors are distilled spirits that contain ethanol.
- Liqueurs are liquors that have sugar and flavors added.
- Liquors can be made from grains, fruits, or vegetables.
- Grain alcohol is liquor made from grains. Duh.
- Gin, Vodka, and Whisky are grain alcohols.
- Vodka is grain alcohol and water.
- Be careful with vodka. Homemade vodka is poisonous.
- Gin is (basically vodka) flavored with juniper berries.
- Absinthe is (basically gin) flavored with anise.
- Whisky is grain alcohol aged in wood barrels.
- Malt whisky is made from barley.
- Grain whisky is made from all the other grains.
- Scotch is whisky made in Scotland.
- Bourbon is Kentucky whisky mostly made from corn.
- Don’t fuck around with the Scottish.
- Don’t fuck around with people from Kentucky, either.
- Tequila is liquor made from the blue agave plant.
- Rum is liquor made from sugarcane.
- Schnapps is liquor made from fruit “must” (smashed fruit that still contains seeds and skins).
- American schnapps is grain alcohol mixed with fruit flavors and sugar syrup.
- Drink apple schnapps only while playing Tekken 2.
- Sake is rice wine that’s brewed like beer. Or something.
- Avoid these cocktails: Grog, Long Island Iced Tea, Manhattan, Dark and Stormy, Jack and Coke, Piña Colada, Scorpion. They contain huge amounts of alcohol and/or a huge number of calories. That Long Island Ice Tea is the worst motherfucker of the bunch. Just avoid them. Have a lemon drop martini instead.
- Don’t drink on an empty stomach or you’ll puke.
- Don’t drink too fast or you’ll puke.
- Avoid Long Island Iced Teas. Like I said.
- Don’t drink and drive because you might kill my Mom. You fuckers.
- If your friend has had too much to drink and needs to crash, make sure she’s lying on her side so she doesn’t choke on her own vomit.
- Don’t leave a drunk friend alone.
- Passing out is a sign of being severely goddamn sick. If someone drinks and passes out? They are dying right now. Call 9-1-1.
- If you are drunk, don’t drink coffee or caffeine to get sober. Sip cold water and nibble some saltine crackers.
- Don’t be a fucking idiot. Don’t smash my mailbox.
- Now you know some stuff. Maybe.

Actually, ‘champagne’ isn’t a name for any sparkling wine, it’s only used for those made in Champagne, France. Everything else is either called ‘sparkling wine’ or ‘spumante’
“The basic problem is the following: why is the category of tolerance universalised to such an extent today? Have you noticed that problems - which twenty, thirty, or forty years ago were perceived not as problems of intolerance, but as problems of injustice, inequality, and so on - are today rephrased as problems of tolerance? Racism today is just “you don’t tolerate my way of life”. […] I made a simple experiment: go to the internet, put in some of his speeches and search for “tolerance” or “intolerance”. It’s practically absent. Martin Luther King didn’t fight for tolerance. He fought for the end of exploitation, injustice, and inequality. It would even be obscene and racist for him to say, “oh, we blacks want whites to tolerate us”. […] In our postmodern era, where the economy is more and more reduced to something experts do, the only conflicts that remain are perceived as conflicts of culture.”
