This is the best tag I've ever received on a post, I think
Cory Booker has been talking in the senate for over 20 hours now
He’s not filibustering. He’s protesting the current administration.
For those of you from outside the US or those of you who didn’t pay attention in government class, in the US senate there’s really no limit to the amount of time a senator can speak. So sometimes if they don’t want a bill to pass they just. Don’t stop talking. To hopefully get past the deadline to vote on a bill. This is called filibustering.
Senator Cory Booker isn’t doing that. He’s disrupting “the normal business of the United States Senate for as long as I am physically able”. Just in protest. This doesn’t usually happen.
He’s less than 20 minutes away from breaking the record of the longest speech given on the senate floor
Cory Booker has officially broken Strom Thurmond’s record for longest speech on the senate floor and he’s still going
For those of you wondering what he’s been talking about this whole time, his staff wrote down a bunch of stuff for him to read like stories from people across the political spectrum opposed to what the administration is doing. He’s also been telling personal anecdotes about meeting important civil rights leaders and other democratic senators have been pausing him for “questions” but the questions have been as long as a small speech and have both served the purpose of giving him a second to sit down and updating him on the news that he’s been missing while he’s been talking.
He has yielded the floor at 25 hrs and 4 mins. His eyes are so wide they look like they’re going to bug out of his skull so I don’t blame him for stopping. He said to go out and get in some good trouble.
white queers are always so damned certain that "true" queerness is for them & them alone. expressions of queerness from Black people (most notably, Black women & those percieved as women) that don't center whiteness & aren't tailored for white audiences are always, always pegged as being unbelievable. all this plus a heaping dose of thay classic "all bi women are dirty attention seeking liars" brand of biphobia. fuck off man
#truly go to helllll#i have NOT forgotten nor forgiven the white dykes losing their minds over that clip of megan flirting with lil miami#literally looked at another woman giggling and kicking her feet and said “i'd top if we had sex”#and all these demons in the replies were like “no queer woman would ever talk about sex this way!!!!”#and do you all recall the suspicion aimed @ janelle 'appropriating' queerness when they dropped dirty computer?#I think about it every damn day#AND cardi having to clap some kid on twitter about how she was eating pussy before they were born?#y'all truly hate queer black women who don't fit the mold of soft uwu cottagecore white girl pining so much ( @batmanisagatewaydrug )
I’m gonna talk my shit rq:
The idea of bi women’s queerness is a state of limbo between lesbian and straight is some weird ass shit. Last month, I saw someone on twitter/shitter/x that Billie Ellish’s songs about admiring women felt forced and objectifying. It seems that the queer community has a tendency to view bisexuality in women has a nonexistent plane or forced like straight women have to walk to please men. Yall will scream from the roof tops “Sexuality and queerness are a journey of self discovery” until the person is a bi women and it gets worse if she’s BIPOC. Yall can’t seem to free yourself from the notion that bisexuality in women is dangerous or just a form of temptation for queer women and straight men. Yall are weird.
And another thing:
the purity culture shit in the sapphic community gotta stop. Idk bout yall but I’ve heard queer women talking about wanting to fuck. Not this hyper romanticized image of braiding flower crowns and frolicking in the grass. Like full blown, raunchy, kinky sex. Sapphic & lesbian sex arent these dirty concepts only meant for men’s viewing pleasure. Queer women like to fuck each other and they like to talk about it. That Megan and Lil Miami clip did LAPS in the blk community. We love Megan as a sapphic artist over here.
This is the most satisfying story I've read in a long time
i just fucking rickrolled myself because i forgot this was my post and i wanted to see mitt romney shit his pants
always remember my first attempt at an april fools prank
Long hair chuck because I need to learn how to objectify my favorite middle age man
