Geek Girl Con 2012

My friends and I went to Geek Girl Con last year as the Teen Titans. We had such an amazing time! Its a fairly new Con, so it was pretty small, but it was fun to just hang out and be nerds with everyone. People loved our cosplays, it was so exciting. We even entered the costume contest, which is something I’d never have the guts to do.

When I went to Sakura-con this year, I discovered that they had used our picture for the business cards, and we were so excited.

Geek Girl Con is in Seattle, on October 19th and 20th this year, so I encourage anyone who can come to do so, because it’s a fantastic con. :)

heeeee! this makes me happy!

I love Solange! She keeps it 100, whether this thread above, or telling a racist off about her hair or calling out the lack of perspective involved in some music blogging, she brings the truth!

stvincentinexile:

If you are part of a privileged group and have to constantly demand that somebody in an oppressed group say “not all (insert privileged group here) are like that”

what you are really demanding is that they reassure you that you’re not like that and you’re not being held accountable

which is a cowardly thing to do and also shows the great lengths you will go to in order to avoid examining your role in a toxic system

callingoutbigotry:

Why the word “stupid” is considered ableist

queeroctopus:

neoptolemos:

Will someone explain to me why the word “stupid” is considered ableist? Because this seriously baffles me.

“Stupid” has been used by the medical community and the community at large to describe people with developmental disorders. My boyfriend was mocked by teachers and called “stupid” because he’s dyslexic. My doctor told my mother I was “stupid” because of various aspects of my autism. “Stupid” has been used to justify locking people like me in asylums, in basements. “Stupid” has been used to disavow testimony given by people like me. My grandmother is what is still medically classified in some places as “retarded” and as a child, was abused by various people in various ways, and when she spoke about it, nobody believed her because she was “stupid”. The eugenics movement is against us “stupid” people even existing, and I consider anyone who believes in always aborting Down Syndrome fetuses as part of this, by the way.

Intelligence is not a measure of character. Intelligence, in many ways, is also subjective. I cannot remember names or act in the usual social way. I cannot hold a pen My boyfriend cannot spell or pronounce things well. My autistic cousin Joe has been taught most of his life how to tie his shoes and he still cannot. Yet, we are all smart in various ways. My partner has a wide array of knowledge, as do I. And Joe is bloody smart for his age.

Insult someone by calling them ignorant, deliberately ill-informed, pig-headed, stubborn. Do not insult intelligence levels. Ignorance is a choice, intelligence… well, it just isn’t. Your capacity to learn, and your access to learning materials, aren’t always under your control, and have nothing to do with your character.

rosalarian:

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

Bob Benson is Bobby Draper from the future. The season finale will reveal that this was a sci-fi short story by Ken Cosgrove all along, à la the Roseanne series finale.

“Why do you live in your body like you will be given another? As if it were temporary. You starve it, you let anyone touch it, you berate it. Tell it that it should be completely different. You tug at your soft flesh, wish it thinner, wish it gone. You fall in love with those who praise the way it sighs under their hands, but who praises the way it holds up your weight, even when you are falling apart?”

Shout out to everyone who had to be their own mother/parent.

Just because your parents weren’t capable doesn’t mean you didn’t deserve love and security.

I’m proud of us, of the amazing humans we’ve raised.

props to ya’ll!!!

Sun, 12 May 2013 12:22:31 -0700

what you said was: "i don't respect women who don't respect themselves"
what you meant was: "i and society as a whole hold women up to ridiculous respectability standards directly relating to the "purity" of said women while hypersexualizing them at the same time and if you are a woman and don't fit my awkward monolith of criteria then i refuse to acknowledge your humanity"
what i heard was: "hi i'm a misogynist piece of shit, please punch me in my face"
