I love that Annie Golden used to front a punk band!
blackandwhitecaterinagerbasi asked: how is that everything you say on twitter is drowned by 1000 dudes making some follow-up joke to your joke? and worst, its usually the same one.
It is pretty much my hell. The day of nineteen thousand-ish “nothing is worse than Transformers” tweets was maddening.
Today it’s vegetarian jokes, because I mindlessly expressed a hyperbolized desire for Trader Joe’s “Meatless Meatballs.” Namely that I would raze the city with fire if the Queens branch was out (they often are). And, I find, it is *always* dudes who feel the need to interject their believe in the natural-ness of “carnivorism” whenever vegetarian food gets brought up. Or something about how tasty bacon is (did I say anything about bacon? Did I bring up goddamn fucking bacon?) And it is so tired, and it is so condescending. I don’t even have to proselytize (a thing I’ve never, ever done, even when prompted, because why I am a vegetarian is NONE OF YOUR GODDAMN BUSINESS) it’ll just be something like thinking aloud, “hmm, no vegetarian options” and it’s like I insulted their grandmother. Or, hell, maybe I’m just eating a goddamn veggie burger at work, minding my own business, and they’ll see that I got lunch at the vegetarian restaurant on the corner. And they just gots to say something. They just gots to.
“I better eat twice as much meat tonight to make up for you!”
“I could never do that - bacon is so tasty!” Did I ask you why you opted out of vegetarianism? Do you honestly think I give a shit?
“You know, that cow would eat you if it was in your position.” Fuck off.
This is basically tantamount to, say, being an atheist and getting a good-natured ribbing from your religious friend every time you, I dunno, opt out of going to church. Either it doesn’t occur to people how condescending it is, or they know and don’t care. It drives me insane.
Whoa, I kind of went off subject there, didn’t I?
So, yeah, same joke over and over again is pretty hellish, and they never seem to realize that a hundred other idiots just made the same joke, but mileage may vary.

My manager called and was like, ‘“You got a nomination.” And I was like, “You’re making fun of me.” I didn’t know why he would call to prank me at this hour. I was like, “I won’t believe it until I see it in writing.” And then Taylor [Schilling] called me and told me congratulations, and for some reason I believed her. Then I called everyone back and said, “Now I’m buying it.” She wasn’t going to toy with me at that level. - Natasha Lyonne on hearing the news of her Emmy Nomination for her role as Nicky Nichols in Orange is the New Black.
OKAY SO MAMA TITS IS MY NEW HERO!
Mama Tits, Seattle’s iconic tough as nails drag queen, confronted a group of anti-gay protesters attempting to disrupt the start of Seattle’s gay pride parade.
Mama Tits gave Seattle Gay Scene a breakdown of the confrontation:
“I saw them coming up the road pre-Parade and looked at Sylvia and DonnaTella and said, ‘Ladies, let’s make a wall!’ Before I knew it, I was standing tits to nose with the leader guy on the megaphone. It felt like I had the strength of all the people who had ever been hurt by these people standing right behind be me giving me power! I was almost in auto-pilot mode from my days as a Sister of Perpetual Indulgence. I planted myself in his path and wouldn’t move. When he walked around me, I got back in front of him again and again.I stared him in the eyes and could see the pain in his eyes, I could see he was scared and he should have been. He tried to hit me with his sign, but like Bianca Del Rio says ‘Not Today, Satan!’“I pushed his sign away from my face and hair, because you DO NOT TOUCH my hair. And, it was all I could do to NOT get violent, but I didn’t because once that happens, we all lose. They tried to surround me in an intimidation tactic, but let’s face it, I’m fucking HUGE and it didn’t work at all! The police came to me and asked to let them pass, and told me not to let them get me upset. I told the cops I wasn’t upset, but I WILL defend myself when assaulted, and they needed to remove them from our Parade. I then walked over and grabbed my mic and started to get the crowd involved. I wanted them to make so much joyful noise to drown out the hate… and, boy did they ever! The crowd made the walls rattle down on 4th and Pine!
“Shortly after I heard him quoting Leviticus, I just spouted back all the other parts he was leaving out to show how much of a hypocrite he was. It is always interesting how religious whack jobs misinterpret EVERYTHING in the Bible and bend it to their will to create HATE, when all they are doing is showing their ignorance. I yelled, ‘You have NO POWER here, be gone before someone drops a house on YOU!’ Once they were escorted off the parade route, I noticed how much it had affected me. I was trembling and on the verge of tears, because when people blindly hate and preach it in public like these people do, they have no regard for the people lives they are effecting.
“People take their lives because of HATE like this, people get KILLED because of HATE like this. I just want it all to stop! If the HATE mongers would put down their signs and open their minds and REPENT for their judgments, maybe then they too could find joy and happiness and be part of the fun, instead of being part of the Hell.”
I LOVE MAMA TITS
