Lively [used the t-word again in another interview for the March issue of Elle magazine she’s on the cover of.

Streamified: Enter Streamified, Stage Right →
streamified:
Here in San Francisco, mecca of the tech industry, it is prudent to be able to package your idea into a single buzzword-laden sentence. “Streamified is a mobile social network aggregation app coming out of stealth and onto the iOS platform first,” I hear myself saying. It sounds so neat and tidy,…
I work with these guys :) Check us out if you’re looking for a sleek iOS...

This is what my pepper spray looks like. For the record, I didn’t buy it for myself, my parents got it for me. As I was walking out of Wal Mart tonight, without it, it donned on me on how fucked up it is. Not only the fact that I need the weapon...

Got 99 problems but Jay-Z ain't one →
otherstuffthatilike:
Jay-Z - a man who has made millions off of hits that contain less than progressive language about women - has sworn to stop saying bitch. He realizes it’s detrimental affect on women and as a father he can’t imagine someone saying that to his daughter. This is a slow-clap moment if there ever was one, one which deserves attention and adulation if he follows through on it. In...

fabraycohenchang:
Seriously, this has to be said.
The way this fandom treats Amber (and to a lesser extent, Jenna) sickens me. I’ve never seen a castmember treated so badly by people who claim to be “fans”. From people sending her hate for “breaking up their ship” (protip: RIB+ did that, not Amber. She has as much say in the storylines as you do - actually, considering how much the writers...

Imagine Albus Severus coming out to Harry:
Albus: Dad, I’m…gay.
Harry: Albus Severus Potter. You were named after two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them was gay and he was the wisest man I’ve ever knew.
Albus: Dad, you say this every time I tell you something. Stop. Just stop.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Albus: Dad, would you mind buying some conditioner? I think we’re out.
Harry: Albus Severus Potter. You were named for two Headmasters of Hogwarts. One of them never used conditioner and he was probably the greasiest man I ever knew.
Albus: Dad, this response is really getting old.
Harry: TWO HEADMASTERS.
Albus: Yes, I get it, two hea—
Harry: BRAVEST AND WISEST MEN.
Albus: Da—
Harry: THAT I EVER KNEW, BRAVEST AND WISEST, TWO OF THEM.

Reblog if you think gay marriage should be legal.
homosexualpride:
look at the notes. There’s something clearly wrong with the fact that in most of the world, it’s not even close to being legalized. Those who have been taught correctly about it understand it, and know there is no logical reason it should be against the law.

drshebloggo:
What makes it worse is that each photo’s matching statement involves Ryan Murphy talking about sexualization. Behold:
“I love Lea in this role: she gets that sexual thing and that ’50s style of action…”
“…it’s not afraid to be sexual.” [the film Naya is representing]
“This part […] is about sexual awakening…” [the film Heather is representing]
“The 50 Foot Woman was about...
