Clueless Little Mess by Nate Buccieri @ARTISTdirect →
This. song. tho.
Saw this guy at Don’t Tell Mama when I was in NYC. Bought his CD. The Broadway sounding, more lively tracks are what he’s best at. This is my fav.
so le1f, a cis gay c list celeb, posted some transphobic shit talking abt how much his feelings were hurt that he got called trans (and also equated that with being called ugly) and when I asked why he was saying that was an insult he MELTED THE FUCK DOWN and went thru my twitter to come up w personal attacks and creeped on me after deleting all his tweets to me
too bad, I liked his music
what in the holy fuck. god dammit
im so done
God fucking damn it.
Stop pretending like your shit matters. Le1f is amazing and has real respect and love for trans communities. Not equating trans with ugly. Simply calling anyone who WOULD say he’s trans or ugly seriously out of touch with who he is as an artist.
Ok but can you unfollow me doe? What he said and did was fucked up no matter what his actual intent was
He literally said being called trans* is an insult like how is that not transmisogyny?!
“I hang out w trans* folks and take stuff from ball culture but it is an insult for you to think I’m trans*”, literally what’s going on here. He could’ve just said naw I’m not trans* but no he had to shit all over trans* folx. Like literally shitting on his friends and saying their identity is so below his it’s considered an insult.Bye with all that transmisogynistic bullshit.
He may not have meant it as an insult, but it’s obvious that he thinks being mistaken as trans is a bad thing. I can’t believe he actually said, “go after ppl who are actually transphobic, not the ones who are hanging out with trans friends in videos,” like being in a video with someone means you can’t oppress them! That level of nonsense is usually reserved for white folk. Le1f, you’re fucking up, hard.

What makes the non-South Asian person’s use of the bindi problematic is the fact that a pop star like Selena Gomez wearing one is guaranteed to be better received than I would if I were to step out of the house rocking a dot on my forehead. On her, it’s a bold new look; on me, it’s a symbol of my failure to assimilate. On her, it’s unquestionably cool; on me, it’s yet another marker of my Otherness, another thing that makes me different from other American girls.
Rarely do trans women of color ask for help in such a public way. Let's uplift Ja'briel Walthour with our voices, resources and money! →
I’ve known Ja’briel via email for the past two years, and in each email she sends me positivity, love and light. She consistently tells me stories of being one of the only out trans women in her community of Hinesville, Georgia, where she drives a school bus for special needs students and consistently educates people on trans issues. She is always positive, always educating, always doing the work.
It’s our turn to lift her up. She needs us.
“Honey Boo Boo’s Mama, June Shannon weds Sugar Bear 9 years after meeting online”
I have seen many articles and TV segments about this lately. There are a few things that are really bothering me about how the press is conveying this story:
- They met in an online chat room. The amount of people today who meet significant others online is higher than it ever has been. I think this is awesome! Why would we not want other people to connect with someone they enjoy talking to. This also helps to take physical appearance out of the picture. People are falling in love because they enjoy the conversations they are having.
- People have been raging on the wedding attire and decor. I think every bride should feel beautiful on her wedding day. There are many typical bridal dresses I think are ugly, but a bride needs to wear what she feels beautiful in. I don’t mind her dress at all and I think it is a very flattering cut on her. Why does anyone feel it is acceptable to say negative things about what she is wearing. Every bride has the right to feel beautiful, hop off!
- Appearance vs words. I REALLY bothers me how people feel it is ok to comment about how “gross” they feel the family is. I think the family is really fucking awesome! They have so much love for each other and it shows. These were the comments June Shannon had about her wedding:
- “The day was very special mostly because my girls were able to take part in it”
- “I felt like it was importnat for them to see this moment and celebrate my love for Sugar Bear”
- “We stayed true to our roots and made the focus on the family and my commitment to Sugar Bear. You can definitely plan an event on a budget!”
- “Never settle for a man who doesn’t treat you right,” she advised. “If a guy doesn’t love everything about you, move on! There are plenty of other fish in the sea.”
- “because I always want them to be themselves and surround themselves with people who love them for them.”
If every parent felt this way, we would have a much better world.
I REALLY REALLY hate when people say they are stupid. Lets all remember that she arranged for TLC to directly deposit all the money into 5 different trust funds she set up: 4 for her daughters and 1 for her granddaughter. The girls can not touch the money until they turn 21 with exceptions for school and medical emergencies.
The thin privilege comments that center around this family are disgusting. The only thing you have to comment on is their weight and how it is “unhealthy”? These comments are directly coming from the fact that people can’t find any other way to criticize her parenting style and it annoys them. I wish people focused as much about their own families as they do about this family. This family is happy. Go away and let them raise their children how they want to.
All of this. I love the way this family cares for each other. My next door neighbours just gave birth to their fifth child… the oldest (their daughter who is nine) is the one that always looks after the kids when they’re crying, the one who is ironing and the one who chases after the kids when they run off. The kids are all brats who have been brought up to think that the words ‘fucking c**t’ are okay to use (their second youngest is three and calls the parents it… because he learnt to do so from them), who think it’s acceptable to destroy their toys in the garden, to pee up my garden fence and to even stick their middle fingers up at me when I get in my car to go to work. They’ve grown up not knowing what respect is (and I never expected them to, with the mother yelling every name under the sun at my own mum and the dad telling mine he’s going to kick his head in… for no reason)… there is no respect in their household.. The kids are always well dressed and well fed, but there is no love in that house, which I can tell when the parents are yelling at each other or when she shouts at ‘the fucking bastard kids’ when they’re screaming their lungs off after beating the hell out of each other.
It pisses me off when people put this loving family in the same category as those families like my next door neighbours. They clearly care for the kids so much, there’s always love emanating from this household when shown on TV… they may not look ‘conventional’ for a family, but families come in all different combinations, appearances and what not. So why does it matter? They’re not harming anyone. They’re happy. Leave them be. And I think June looks wonderful. The dress isn’t my cup of tea but the shape is lovely, as is the smile on her face.
Congrats Mama June and Sugar Bear!
daily reminder not to reblog missing people posts unless you actually know who the person in the photo is and that they really are missing, there are shitheads out there who look for people hiding from them. an abusive husband found his wife and child through such a post. they were under protected identity but he found them through a missing person post online.
This is why I never reblog missing person posts. Not because I’m an uncaring jerk.
Shit. Signal boosting, I honestly didn’t think about this before.

did I mention that I give up
I’m starting running because it doesn’t take a lot of time but it expends a lot of energy, and I’m tired of my doctors telling me I’m too fat
I’m tired of not being considered sexually attractive, fuckable, let alone dateable
I’m tired of not fitting in not being…
You don’t have to do anything to fit in or make yourself more acceptable to other people. Your doctors should focus on your health and not how you look, they’re just bullshitting you because it’s easier for them to just look at you and your weight and make a fast judgement than actually evaluate your health and they just wanna get paid. :/
I mean, running is good for you but, do it for you. Not to please assholes. I know. it’s all easier said than done….seeing the average person at school also makes me want to turn into a rabbit and subsist on salad sometimes …but that’s kind of a miserable existence.
Just please don’t half starve yourself, whatever you do.
And btw, you’re gorgeous already!!
