The return of the flip phone. I am starting to like it! (Taken with instagram)

How does this sorcery work? Does the flip screen just protect the touch screen?

What’s not to like about Ron Paul?

His racism.
His horrible economic plan.
His awful views on civil liberties.

Let me add to that:
• He doesn’t believe in the separation of church and state.
• He believes abortion should be illegal.
• He doesn’t support the repeal of DOMA and didn’t support the repeal of DADT.
• He doesn’t support putting more money into inner-city schools, but does support vouchers for religious schools.
• He believes creationism should be taught alongside evolution in public schools.
• He doesn’t believe HIV causes AIDS.
• While he doesn’t support a federal ban on gay marriage, he also doesn’t support a federal law legalizing gay marriage. Some see this as a states’ rights issue, and this is how he frames it, but he does support other federal legalization movements (drugs, for example).
• His newsletter spouted horrible racist content for twenty years. 
• He believes in reinstating the gold standard, which most economists believe was one of the major causes of several financial crises during the early part of the 20th Century, including the Great Depression.
• He believes in free market Capitalism.
• He wants to get rid of Affirmative Action.

This picture of him makes me laugh. 

I have a few reasons I’d like to contribute…
He voted to ban same-sex couples from adopting children (in DC)
He wants to eliminate the department of education
He is against raising taxes on the 1%
He wants to get rid of income tax all together
He wants to deregulate Wall St.
He thinks climate change is a hoax
He is against the EPA- even after the Gulf Oil spill of 2010 he was advocating deregulating big business and oil companies
He wants to repeal The Affordable Healthcare Act
He would do away with medicaid, medicare, food stamps, welfare, and social security.
He was against the Civil Rights Act & the Americans with Disabilities Act
He has been in government for about 14 years and has only gotten ONE of his bills passed (out of 464)
He is against increasing airport security, proposing that instead we just give pilots guns (no joke).
Against the Auto-Industry restructuring which saved 2 million jobs and put our car industry back on top
He supports a state’s right to imprison people for having consensual anal sex in the privacy of their bedrooms





Also it’s worth noting that the person that coined that phrase didn’t really win all that much.

Seriously, fuck Ron Paul.

^Oh look, a post that says it all so that I don’t have to. Get over your Ron Paul boners, folks. He’s a frightening man.

I’ve had librarians say to me, “People in my school don’t agree with homosexuality, so it’s difficult to have your book on the shelves.” Here’s the thing: Being gay is not an issue, it is an identity. It is not something that you can agree or disagree with. It is a fact, and must be defended and represented as a fact.

To use another part of my identity as an example: if someone said to me, “I’m sorry, but we can’t carry that book because it’s so Jewish and some people in my school don’t agree with Jewish culture,” I would protest until I reached my last gasp. Prohibiting gay books is just as abhorrent…

Discrimination is not a legitimate point of view. Silencing books silences the readers who need them most. And silencing these readers can have dire, tragic consequences. Never forget who these readers are. They are just as curious and anxious about life as any other teenager.

David Levithan, Supporting Gay Teen Literature (via cake-light)

Being gay is not an issue, it is an identity. It is not something that you can agree or disagree with.

I hate how fucking often people seem to think that identities are an opinion that they can just say they don’t agree with or don’t believe in. It’s probably the one “argument” that drives me craziest

David Levithan’s book, Boy Meets Boy, is one of the best YA fictions I read as a teen. End of Story.

That final paragraph is glorious. “Discrimination is not a legitimate point of view”—precisely. Society should look after its citizens, not its citizens’ supposed right to prejudice.

david levithan you give me more and more reasons to adore you
