Time to pirate all the things

Is there a specific word to describe someone who is bi or pansexual, but leans towards a certain fuzzy range of gender expression? To give an example, being attracted to girls and feminine men, but not traditionally “masculine” men.

I guess that would count as omnisexual, but I’m not entirely sure.

I think this building is right near where the CIA bombed a yacht club in the 90’s to try to damage Cuba’s tourism industry. A lot of people have never heard of that, and I didn’t know about it until recently. One of the same CIA agents who was involved with that (among others) was also responsible for blowing up a Cuban airliner in the 70’s killing 73 innocent people. He was on trial in the US a couple of times but got off each time and never ended up facing any punishment for his crimes:

Leftists really should embrace monster trucks. I've been saying this for awhile.

I once had this idea to crowd source buying this giant Lenin head and mounting it to a monster truck frame:

Would be even cooler if you added custom laser eyes and flames shooting out of his nose or something.

As someone who managed to get themselves kicked out of the military, I’m so so so glad they’re getting this info out there and thank you for posting this. When I was going through that, I was threatened with an OTH (other than honorable) discharge which would supposedly ruin my life. I ended up just fine thanks to resources like the GI Rights Hotline and a particularly helpful JAG lawyer. Even if I did get that, I now know it doesn’t matter much anyways and it’s certainly not the huge deal command makes it out to be. There might be a lot of people wanting to leave who just need to know it’s going to be ok, and helping them do so is important praxis imo. Every soldier kicked out is one less cog in the war machine, a potential life (or multiple lives?) saved, and they might even end up being a new comradewith the right help.

That NED money must be pretty good

Thanks for the overview on this! This has been on my reading list for awhile, along with My Brother’s Husband. I had no idea the mangaka behind this is so cool (but it makes sense of course). I read The Bride was a Boy awhile back (I highly recommend this, it’s a relatively short read) and it also had periodic explanations/criticisms of LGBTQ rights in Japan and especially the marriage laws, which I found interesting.

Sort of related, I think it would be neat to have a dedicated LGBTQ manga/anime thread at some point to share more content like this.

Bizarre that he’s even publicly engaging other users in this way. Like, if you’re the CEO, it’s maybe not the best idea to be getting into arguments, shitposting, telling the world your shitty opinions, etc.

I don’t think Utah would fare so well in a Balkanization scenario.

Thanks for the summary! This anime just might be the kinda weird shit I'd be into, so I'll have to at least check it out when I get the chance.

The nautilus is absolutely amazing and I'm extremely disappointed you feel this way about it

So Kurt Cobain was right all along

 

Was watching Attack of the Killer Tomatoes on https://live.hexbear.net/c/movies and came across this weird segment.

 

Looks like one of the transphobic shit stains in Utah went too far and pissed off ordinary Mormon soccer moms. I hope this is a wake up call for some of these people, but probably not.

 

anya-heh

 

Pwetty pwease? crush
