Shakespeare’s plays in the original accent they were written for. Not enough people have watched this. This requires rectifying.
Watch it.
I’VE BEEN SAYING THIS SO MANY TIMES, EModE IS ESSENTIALLY SCOTS/ULSTER SCOTS.
Also,
That sounds like some sort of odd mix between thick northern west country and thick Irish which is then diluted a bit.
Whoa,
Neat.

Ferrofluids are liquids which becomes strongly polarized in the presence of a magnetic field.
I’ve posted about this before…
…but I’m going to again because it’s super awesome!
So cool.
Hey neat, that’s my school. I’m intimately involved in the opposition to RPI honoring Scalia, the Pride Alliance released this statement about it, which I helped author.
"Transfeminism is primarily a movement by and for trans women who view their liberation to be intrinsically linked to the liberation of all women and beyond. It is also open to other queers, intersex people, trans men, non-trans [cis] women, non-trans [cis] men, and others who are sympathetic to the needs of trans women and consider their alliance with trans women to be essential for their own liberation. …
Transfeminism is not about taking over existing feminist institutions. Instead, it extends and advances feminism as a whole through our own liberation and coalition work with all others. It stands for trans and non-trans [cis] women alike and asks non-trans [cis] women to stand up for trans women in return. Transfeminism embodies feminist coalition politics in which women from different backgrounds stand up for each other, because if we do not stand for each other, nobody will."

Things that ‘activists’ who aren’t autistic should note:
- If you take the piss out of someone for not being able to understand or notice sarcasm, this is discriminatory!
- If you take the piss out of someone for not noticing a meaning you didn’t state explicitly, this is discriminatory!
- If you treat someone like they’re unreasonable for misinterpreting something ambiguous you said and reacting accordingly, this is discriminatory!
- If you think someone’s automatically not taking you seriously as a speaker because they’re not looking you in the eyes, this is discriminatory!
- If you say something that works on several levels and reckon anyone who doesn’t get the double meaning is automatically dim, this is discriminatory!
- If your way of disseminating your message is to show a video with no subtitles or transcript available, this is discriminatory!
- If you say a term with multiple possible meanings and then get pissed because someone asks you which one you meant, this is discriminatory!
I can’t even believe that I have to say any of this shit.
Bonus point:
- If you do any of the above and someone says ‘hold up, you’re being discriminatory’ and then you refuse to rectify the situation, this is super-discriminatory!
Seriously though, this one:
“If you treat someone like they’re unreasonable for misinterpreting something ambiguous you said and reacting accordingly, this is discriminatory!”
This happens to me a minimum of once a week.
"Trans men are MEN. Not special edition sparkly vampire fluffy unicorn womyn-space-compatible men-lite. It is utterly, utterly, utterly fucked up to even suggest that they should be allowed in womens’ spaces, especially at the expense of trans women."

I have never ever ever understood why any radical cis feminist would expect that I would consider being allowed into their spaces to be a good thing. Yeah, I’d love to go hang out with your transmisogynistic asses and get myself misgendered, sounds like a great time. And I’m not even a “man.”
