it is really cool that there is now an official maori word for autism, created with input from autistic maoris, and it was specifically coined to be nonjudgmental

quote from article:

“In my experience, people with autism tend to have their own timing, spacing, pacing and life-rhythm, so I interpreted autism as ‘takiwatanga’, meaning ‘his or her own time and space’,” [Keri Opai] told government-funded Maori Television.

Writing Advice: it doesn’t matter if an idea has been done before. It’s never been done by you. So long as you do it well, and in your own way, it’s a wonderful contribution.

the most important thing to me ever is bi kids knowing that it’s ok to be 10% attracted to women and 90% attracted to men or 10% attracted to men and 90% attracted to women and still feeling ok to identify as bi, and still feeling like their identity is valid, and still feeling like they can lead fulfilling lives with both (or other) genders. like that’s just so fricking important.

I’m a bi adult and you know what? I needed this. Thank you.

it’s also important to remember that it can be a fluid % like sometimes it’ll be 50/50 some times 10/90 and then drift into a 45/65 or even 2/98 and it’s still okay. It’s just where you are at that time in your life. 

You’re also still bi if there’s a gender you’re in theory attracted to but in practice can’t date because prior domestic violence, rape, or sexual abuse has made that gender Not Safe for you. You’re equally valid as someone who dates whoever they’re attracted to without trauma. Be kind to yourself, and don’t force yourself to date outside your comfort zone for the sake of meeting some kind of false standard.

who else is angry that lyrically and musically the black parade is a fucking masterpiece but it’s always going to be written off as “shitty emo music” because teenage girls liked it 

Black parade is the bohemian rhapsody of our generation and no one can take that away from me or us.

you know what, i literally started yelling this in the tags and got so mad I have to put it in the main post, here:

I WILL ACTUALLY FUCKING FIGHT AND DIE ON THIS HILL, THAT BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY COMPARISON BEING SO *APT,* BECAUSE OF THE FORMATIVE CLASSIC/GLAM ROCK INFLUENCES AND DIRECT REFERENCES IN BLACK PARADE, SPECIFICALLY QUEEN. LITERALLY JUST ‘BLACK PARADE’ ALONE, LISTEN TO THOSE FUCKING BRIAN MAY-ESQUE GUITAR ARPEGGIOS. WATCH THE VIDEO. LOOK AT WHAT GERARD WAY IS DOING WITH THE HALF MIC-STAND/GESTURES AND BLACK VERSION OF THE ICONIC YELLOW BUCKLE JACKET. LISTEN TO THE TEMPO SHIFTS IN ‘MAMA’ AND TELL ME THAT’S NOT A DIRECT STYLISTIC/ERA CONVENTION HOMAGE/ALSO JUST MUSICALLY THE TIGHTEST SHIT

THIS SHIT IS HIGHLY INTENTIONAL AND I KIND OF CAN’T BELIEVE MORE ROCK NERDS DON’T SEE IT except I do, we do know why

So. Today in class we assigned Macbeth roles to students to read. When I asked the class who wants to be Lady Macbeth, a young man raised his hand. I kind of stared at him like “Lady Macbeth,” and he nodded like “I know what I’m about ma’am.” So then the student who ended up as Macbeth raised his hand and said “HE’S THE ONE, HE’S MY WIFE!” So I said “yeah sure why not,” and the entire class period they were blowing kisses to each other and winking at each other, and every now and then Macbeth would say “I’m the luckiest man on Earth” and Lady Macbeth would put a hand to his chest, and be like “BABE!”.

I just stared at them, knowing that they CLEARLY have never read ‘Macbeth’ before, so… all this lovey dovey… I don’t know if I have the heart to tell them the truth.

Update:

  • Macbeth is absolutely willing to fucking throw down for Lady Macbeth. Has already threatened a wall, a desk, a few students, a textbook that was neither his nor Lady Macbeth’s, and me
  • Lady Macbeth is enjoying the attention and has begun to use this new connection to his advantage. I’m starting to suspect he’s read ahead in the play.
  • Macbeth is going to end up living in detention at this rate.
  • Macbeth has no idea that he is the tragedy of the story. Claims to be the hero of the play, fails to see the irony in this
  • Macbeth slowly scooted his desk across the classroom to hold hands with Lady Macbeth. He was not subtle.
  • Macbeth has proposed on several occasions. Lady Macbeth just laughs and says they’re already married.
  • Macbeth’s girlfriend is in the class with them and is “totally not jealous or anything just thinks this whole fucking play is a waste of time”
  • Lady Macbeth should probably be a theatre major at some point, he fucking rocked Act V scene I
  • Other teachers and staff are emailing me about the “lovely lords”. Lady Macbeth now refuses to answer to anything other than Lady Macbeth and is always very upset when people don’t call him by his proper title.
