hi welcome to our weekly LGBT Queermmunity meeting. today we’re going to re-hash the difference between gray asexual and demisexual again! and then we’re going to let Aiden yell at you until you concede to renaming the group QPADTAH (Queers, Pansexuals, Asexuals, Demisexuals, Transsexual folx :), and H*mosexuals and bisexuals who are too stuck up to identify as pansexual)

next week’s meeting is “straight people in open relationships: are they oppressed and how much more oppressed are they compared to you” and if you disagree Aiden will vague tweet “yikes… i guess queer unity doesn’t matter to some of you” on his main and tweet “[your name] is low key queerphobic honestly all [your sexuality] people are like that so…” on his private

South Carolina Is Lobbying to Allow Discrimination Against Jewish Parents

Yes, you read this correctly.

Americans, this is why it is SO IMPORTANT that you vote in the upcoming November election.

“Sorry lil Jimmy we can’t let you be fostered by this loving family because they’re Jewish. Stay put and keep attending our mandatory Bible study while we rake in more money until we can find a proper Christian family.”

Does this mean that Jewish kids who end up in foster care couldn’t be placed in Jewish homes? (Or Muslim or Catholic kids in Muslim or Catholic homes, etc.)

If the private foster agency in question takes them from the public system and places them in a group home, yes. And for all we know, those are exactly the kids they’re after, the young non-Protestant ones who they want to convert.

The first “religious freedom” lawsuits were never about baking cakes, they were about laying a foundation.

in high school my science class went on a field trip to a nuclear reactor and someone asked if it was safe to swim in the pool of water with all the cooling rods at the bottom and the tour guide answered “oh definitely not. you wouldn’t get cancer or anything, you’d just get shot before coming with 10 feet of it”

It’s neural net Halloween costume time

lewisandquark:

People use neural networks for translating languages, recommending movies, delivering ads, and more, but this here is one of my favorite applications: utter surrealism.

Last year I trained a neural network on 4,500 Halloween costumes that you readers helped me collect. This year, I teamed up with the New York Times to train a different neural network on over 7,100 costumes. Jessia Ma illustrated lots of the costumes, even the ones that make NO SENSE and they are all SO GOOD.

Please please go look at the rest of them. You will be so glad you did.

And yes, there will be ill-advised sexy costumes.

Thank you, everyone who contributed a costume! You can still contribute to the dataset (maybe I’ll revisit it next year) by filling out this form.

Want even more Halloween costumes? Costumes like Dr. Poop and Ms. Frizzle’s Robot? The answer is yes. Sign up here to get them, plus optionally more bonus material every time I post.
