A Severe Summary of the Arizona Republican Debate →
Moment most reminiscent of a Flight of the Chonchords dialogue: ”What we’re seeing is a problem in our culture with respect to children being raised by children, children being raised out of wedlock.” – Rick Santorum. “Actually, Bret. When I think about your children, and your children’s children, I actually think your children are too young to be having children. And as far as your children’s...
Ten members of Congress pose for NOH8 →
gaywrites:
Adam Bouska’s iconic NOH8 photography campaign against Prop 8 has 10 new supporters: members of Congress who recently posed for photos for the campaign. Only one of them identifies as LGBT; the rest are allies.
Bouska set up an exclusive “NOH8 on the Hill” event for members of Congress, and ten members of Congress took photos and submitted statements of support for the campaign. The...

NOoooo/YEssssss
Glee made my emotions do wonderful/horrible things tonight [which is great, because Glee had been lacking up until a few weeks ago], and now it’s going to go all Dawson’s Creek on us and i’ll cry BECAUSE I ALREADY FUCKING AM, and it is beyond encouraging/depressing.
I’M IN A GLASS CASE OF EMOTION.

Going to a film school was all super important for me [according to my parental units], and that means I would somehow graduate this intense film prodigy and be something, and all these scholarships and shit, and now I don’t care, because community college is fine, because I will meet Jeff and Abed and everyone because I am special and SLCC has these amazing courses, and there is nothing...

I just typed a text post and it didn’t save, and it was all emotional and deep and shit and now I’m crying crocodile tears and drinking herbal tea and cutting my flanks while I masturbate to pictures of Frank Miller.
Jesus.
I’m going to try and recreate it in a second, hang on the one person who secretly stalks me on dis machine.
Research, no motion: How the BlackBerry CEOs lost... →
journo-geekery:
Last April, Mike Lazaridis sat in a BBC studio, holding his company’s future in his hands: a svelte seven-inch tablet, black, with the word “BlackBerry” emblazoned across its front. The PlayBook.
The company was Research In Motion, the Canadian firm whose BlackBerry virtually created the smartphone market. Success had come almost naturally to the company, until five years ago,...

When Your 7-Year-Old Son Announces, 'I'm Gay' →
itscandidlycara:
Huffington Post:
Considering that my son has a longstanding crush on Glee’s Blaine and regularly refers to him as “my boyfriend,” I thought there was a fair chance that he would someday say, “I’m gay.” But my kid is only 7 years old. I figured I had a few years before we crossed that threshold (if we ever did), probably when he was 14 or 15. I never thought it would happen...

When I think that I might move out or be homeless for awhile, because I am young, and have dumb ideas about how to find myself, I do feel better, but then I remember money and I want to kill myself.
And I found camera + accessories for minor amounts of moneys and will buy them and finally be able to make movies on my own time.
Also, I hate everything and why do i have to do anything, I am...

Young Chinese people OK with homosexuality →
gaywrites:
More than 80 percent of Chinese people ages 30ish and younger are accepting of homosexuality, according to a new study.
A major Chinese dating website conducted a survey and found that “83 percent of respondents born between 1980 and 1989, as well as 82 percent of those born after 1990, do not disapprove of homosexuality.” The same survey, however, found interesting statistics about...
Oscars: Cinematography nominees discuss film... →
directingfilm:
The technological debate matters to me much less than the technique (especially because film is still undoubtedly superior). Janusz Kaminski, nominated for Steven Spielberg’s War Horse and cinematographer of Oscar-winning films Schindler’s List and Saving Private Ryan, discusses the “mystery” of shooting film. I love shooting film because it endears a level of simplicity and...

gaywrites:
As more and more states join the discussion about marriage equality (what up, Washington and hopefully Maryland?) it’s important to think about how we talk about the issues at hand. More specifically: why do we use the language we do?
For a while, we referred to the overall political topic of people of the same sex getting married as “gay marriage.” But that’s never been right. Why?...
