Yes, it is really true. February 2013. Stephanie Figarelle & Lela McArthur. Married at the Empire State Building. 😁 Fox apparently thought “short hair = man.” Turns out, love breaks stereotypes — and so does poor photo research. #LGBTQ #Media #TruthMatters

Reminder

I read Carrie by Stephen King a long time ago, when I was still young. And the Carrie I remember was delicate, i, timid — a quiet girl, crushed by her fanatical mother and mocked by those around her. Her powers weren’t a sign of strength, but an expression of deep, buried pain. The image I see now — a blood-soaked warrior, determined, almost like a female Sylvester Stallone — has little to do with that character. It feels like a complete misunderstanding of the story. Carrie wasn’t an action hero. She was a tragedy.

If that were true, then America would be in even deeper trouble than I thought.

#fascism #usa #politics Fascism is back! Amid all legitimate concerns – the greatest immediate risk to our world is Trump and his oligarchs.

Sure, in a very broad sense, science is also based on assumptions. But unlike religion, it’s built to be questioned, tested, and revised. I respect that people find meaning in religious texts, but there’s a fundamental difference: scientific claims are open to evidence and correction. You don’t need faith to know the sun is a ball of gas – you just need physics.

Sorry i wrote it under the wrong post 😁

#usa #politics The US is not a democracy. It’s a plutocratic oligarchy. Few billionaires rule. The people don’t.

#resistance #freedom #LA This is how resistance begins, isn’t it? Nezza usually sings in Spanish. It’s her voice, her language, her culture – and that of her neighbors. And then they told her: Please sing it in English today. But she didn’t bow. There’s even an official Spanish version of the anthem – commissioned decades ago. She refused to be intimidated by authoritarian posturing or by those who think they get to decide who belongs. She sang. In Spanish. For everyone who’s so often unheard. With a clear stance. A voice. And courage. Maybe she was afraid – who wouldn’t be? But she had the courage to do it anyway. I don’t know if I would’ve had that courage. But she did. And that’s what matters.
