“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why are they...”
– - Dom Hélder Câmara, “Bishop of the Slums”
He’s also the author of 1971 tract “Spiral of Violence,” which is incredibly relevant now, as it was when it was written during the Vietnam War.

can I just say how much I hate the phrase “gender is fluid”

ugh I just hate everything
I think the common theme between all of my written works will be “Evan hates x”
gender is fluid because it is not a strict definition of the dichotomy of male vs female

Logic, how does it work.
How do these people not realise that a few instances of prejudice do not at all equal the systematic oppression of racism. The being called a cracker or honkey or whatever does not carry the weight of the many, many racist epithets. And if she thinks that those men didn’t treat WOC the...

Rick Santorum's Conflation of Gay Marriage and...
I don’t like to be accused of taking things out of context, so below is Santorum’s spiel from the Thanksgiving Family Forum, during which he described gay marriage as a “morally reprehensible and wrong thing” like slavery. I emphasized the portions pertinent to his conflation of legalized gay marriage and legalized slavery. Any commentary I could offer would be superfluous...
Einstein on Conflict Between Religion and Science
Here is an unedited article by Albert Einstein entitled “Personal God Concept Causes Science-Religion Conflict.” Within, Einstein explains his perception of the sources of conflict between religion and science, the merits of each, the incompatibility of a personal god with his worldview, and the harm in literal interpretation of religious texts. It was published fifteen years before...

stephensays asked: Wait, am I one of those four and a half people? I can't remember whether we were getting married or just raising an awesome child together.
apolloreincarnated asked: Hi. I don't know you. And meant no harm in saying Jesse did your costume better. But I would like to let you know that your answer made me laugh to no end.

music is so mainstream now i only listen to audiobooks of the dictionary
I have a set of Funk and Wagnalls Unabridged LPs. I used to like Webster’s, but then it became a genericized trademark, and their quality really dropped.
Life is tough.

stephensays asked: Mainstream scientific findings are overrated. It's all about the scientific findings that wear thick-rimmed, non-prescription glasses and sulk in coffee shops.
stephensays asked: You know, now that you've put it out there, you have an obligation to post pictures. It's right there in the United States Constitution. Also, "sometimes like guys?" Is this a new development, or has it always been this way?

I'm working on a hat for my Halloween costume....
It’s a Mario hat, but not the traditional Mario hat, because I’m not dressing as traditional Mario. Pictures to come. Be excited. Or don’t. Probably don’t. Yeah, you know what, forget I mentioned pictures altogether. Also, I’m tired. It’s a Sunday/Monday night, which makes my tiredness ridiculous. Also, also, my needlepoint has gotten very sloppy. I probably...

There’s always that one guy in your class who is horrified and offended by the very concept of John Cage’s 4’33
I performed it once on the flugelhorn for a class. Some people said it “wasn’t music”. I disagree. The audience listened and heard what Cage wanted them to hear. I had a stand with music on it, and a flugelhorn to my mouth. And I must say, I...

If your objection to Starfire’s new treatment is that she’s being objectified, then say that. If your objection is that her writing was fucking terrible, then say that. If your objection is that she seems to be completely divorced from the character she used to be, then say that.
If your objection to Catwoman #1 is that the art was male-gazey, then say that....

gaywrites:
Outraged at the presidential candidate’s claim that a person chooses to be gay, columnist Dan Savage has challenged Herman Cain to prove that this is a choice by turning gay himself.
He posted the following open letter to Cain on his blog:
Dear Herman, If being gay is a choice, show us the proof. Choose it. Choose to be gay yourself. Show America how that’s done, Herman, show us...

“And just like that, you invalidated everything I ever learned about economics.”

When did “resulting from choice” come to mean immoral?
I realize there’s more to it than this, but come on, most people act as if the “choice” (non-choice) argument is the essence of LGBPAQ* activism. It frustrates me, because people act as if “It’s a choice” is the worst thing that can be said about an orientation, preference or action.
When...
