Now Playing Tracks

This song changed my life. Ha. 

I had just had my car stereo stolen for the like 5th time in 3 years from in front of my house, and I couldn’t afford to replace it. It was really lame, because I was driving around 35 minutes to and from college every day (sometimes twice a day). After about 4 months of not having a stereo, my small group leader showed me a stereo that he had recently acquired that would fit my car and gave it to me when he heard the story of how no matter how hard I try, people keep stealing shit out of my car. After 3 hours of splicing wires together and failing to get the speakers to work, etc, this song came on. It started my love affair with Sufjan that basically saved my life during my closeted years. 

Life. You so silly sometimes.

This sums my feelings about the school district. 

So, some guy invited me to his church’s conference about how they should minister to “Homosexuals”

Of course it was a former youth pastor, and of course it was probably a facebook-wide invite (read:Not intended for me) but now I’m conflicted about what to do. Do I post facts about how trying to change your sexuality doesn’t work? Do I suggest that you are doing more harm by attending one of these conferences? Do I just leave it (which, letsbehonest, that’s what I’ll probably do)? 

Moral of the story: People are stupid.

Stats Pr0n of the Day: U.S. Map of Hate Speech on Twitter

Since June 2012, Dr. Monica Stevens of Humboldt State University in California has been mapping more than 150,000 geotagged tweets that contain homophobic, racist or abliest language. The result is the Geography of Hate, an interactive map of the U.S. which reveals the hotspots of “hate tweets” across the country. A deeper analysis of the project is available at Floating Sheep.
