mechatiles said: My little sister taught me this one. :U It’s a lovely term.
I’d never considered that there might be a word for how i tend to function sexually. It’s not that I don’t have a desire for, or don’t enjoy sex, but the parameters in which I do are rather narrow. It’s always nice to find out there are others like yourself.

Learned a new term today… Gray-A
This actually describes me pretty well. Particularly “people who can enjoy and desire sex, but only under very limited and specific circumstances”.

The Confederate flag wasn't always popular.
stfuconfederates:
After the Civil War, you pretty much got shot for having one.

It was gone for a long time, and guess when it came back. It came...

I’m giving this woman flowers every single day that she is alive to let her know that cradling Malcolm X in her arms as he lay dying is the most powerful thing she could have done for him in that moment, in that historical moment in our lives.
You see because she was still is an ardent social rights/social justice activist—on the behalf of Japanese Americans and for the...

Supreme Court To Revisit Affirmative Action In... →
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court will once again confront the issue of race in university admissions in a case brought by a white student denied a spot at the flagship campus of the University of Texas.

But can we also talk about how Marshall Mathers is awful and no one cares to still talk the shit he also deserves? No, okay, probably because he is white just saying.
I wonder if shitting on Kanye and Chris Brown will die as quickly as shitting on Eminem did. Because Kanye will forever be shamed for taking a microphone from a rich white woman but...

Just had a lovely conversation with an older black lesbian woman who had no idea I was trans* (despite us having been Facebook friends for quite some time).

I love days like this.
