hieronymouscock: i don’t care about the premise of this post but this was funny so im posting it out of context

tododeku-or-bust: jodielandons: Remember The Blind Side starring Sandra Bullock? The movie showed how a kid who had an extremely rough upbringing got help from the family of a school friend, found success in football and ultimately ended up being adopted by the family. Turns out he was never adopted. Michael Oher says that he was tricked by the Tuohy family into signing documents that made them his conservators. Since he was already 18 at the time the family told him, “that it means pretty much the exact same thing as ‘adoptive parents,’ but that the laws were just written in a way that took [his] age into account.” Oher also says that papers were signed so that his story and likeness were given away for free to use in The Blind Side. He also never got a single royalty check for the hugely successful, Oscar nominated film in the 14 years since its release. 'Blind Side' subject Oher alleges adoption was lie In a 14-page court petition, the former NFL star alleges that Sean and Leigh Anne Tuohy never adopted him, instead tricking him into signing ESPN.com It just continues to baffle me that they essentially purchased a young Black man’s life to make football money off of, like buying a racing horse, except a person. Like, I don’t know how else to say it. And then made everyone think it was something wonderful they did to “save” an “impoverished, Black boy”, and he’s been saying it for years to no avail that they took advantage of him!

nosafeanchorage: i know i’ve already cried about theon being a literal dog-kicking villain who later becomes a kicked dog and the dogs now are good dogs who are fond of him etc, but actually he aims an ineffectual kick at the dog, meaning he tries to be a dog-kicking villain but actually fails at being that 😭 a character

spacemonkeyg78: Meet Cherish and Kelly. They’re here, and they’re the most queer. Cherish is a lesbian woman who is subverting society’s expectations of what it means to be a lesbian, “I don’t feel the need to shave, take HRT or have any kind of surgery to be a woman because feminism is about living naturally as a woman without ascribing to oppressive beauty standards.” says Cherish in her stunning button down shirt she found in the men’s department. Her decision to keep her beard, wear pants and men’s shoes are an absolutely fabulous way to tell the world how gnc she is. Kelly on the other hand feels no need to call themself a man OR a woman because those binary ideas are a social construct, “Sex is pseudoscience, it’s something created to oppress non-white people.” Kelly says in a moment of pure wisdom. I sat down with this queer couple in a trendy coffee bar close to where Cherish works as an editor for a publishing firm. No one around us takes notice of this couple who bravely face the world everyday, they know their queerness isn’t accepted by everyone but this doesn’t stop them from letting anyone who mistakes them for heterosexual know that they aren’t, this takes guts. “Kelly is finding it difficult to find a senior position even though she has a higher degree than I do, people are just so bigoted against non-binary people.” Cherish knows if Kelly, wearing a floral print dress and gender bending sneakers on their feet, would just identify as a woman then they’d be much further in life. Kelly and Cherish plan on getting married soon but worry about finding a church accepting of a lesbian marrying a non-binary female, “Religious institutions are still so homophobic and it’s probably going to limit our options. They’ll take one look at Cherish in her tuxedo she wants to wear and flip, it SCREAMS butch!” cries Kelly. They go on to tell me how other lesbian couples seem to avoid them and know it’s because transphobia runs rampant in lesbian circles, “They’re just jealous that Cherish is more of a woman than they’ll ever be and she has an organic strap-on.” Meanwhile they ensure they’re on the frontlines at Pride and do their utmost to make sure lesbians know that people like Cherish are the future lesbians can look forward to. The couple wants children but doesn’t quite know yet which one is going to carry. Those of us at QueerPride Weekly wish this very queer couple good luck in their future.
