Albertinho

BuzzFeed said I was a reason they were over Coachella, I once ate 40 McNuggets to impress a music channel into giving me a job interview, I've punched Theon Greyjoy of Game of Thrones, danced on-stage with the Flaming Lips, Thom Yorke owes me €20, and this blog is endorsed by Commander Shepard from Mass Effect.

I'm 21, from Australia, possibly dying but infinitely awesome.

Semi-regular re-post of my Lady Loki costume, because sewing all those green Spandex petals on the bodice nearly killed me.

trawling my archives for something and had to reblog this because Clem is a very important person in my life and also a BAMF and yes. <3

I am so lucky to have some amazing friends like Kate and Clem ^_^

Just had the weirdest personal epiphany that gender-segregated schools are horribly trans-phobic? I mean, it treats gender as a binary during adolescence when MOST CERTAINLY IS NOT.

Like, imagine being told as a trans* teen that your GENDER is defined by your EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION.

You know what’s funny?

Yahoo is going around randomly deleting Tumblr blogs due to DCMA. Ironically, all the reddit loving, mouthbreathing bros who cry about privacy on the internet are probably enjoying this because lol tumblr’s for girls amirite?

My “bed goes up, bed goes down” control doesn’t work :(

A neoliberal bro just posted this to my facebook.

I responded with “Speaking across issues to diminish progress: you are doing it right.”

If crohn’s disease were a person, I’d stab it in the stomach while whispering into its ear “The Lannisters send their regards”

Through online osmosis — tweets, Facebook reviews, links to recaps and interviews and analyses — I get to know the characters in shows I don’t watch; the showrunners, cast and other personnel. The mythology a show acquires on its journey through the peristaltic TV network system, from initial pitch to triumphant finale or shameful final axing. Even the following that a show acquires, and the tone and pitch of its online buzz, are informative. Most of all, I absorb key ‘moments’ in the narrative without understanding their original context within the episode. The screencap and animated GIF are especially good at enshrining characters’ gestures, glances, expressions, or key lines of dialogue. These are clearly shibboleths: viewing comprehension tests in which insiders will LOL, share, or knowingly mutate the meme. Outsiders will remain silent and confused. Bystanders half-get the jokes, and have to make tough calls about whether to join in.

I have never seen the relationship between Tumblr fandom shows and myself phrased so perfectly.

Thoughts while on pain-relief drugs #341

Sony capitalises on the bad publicity of the always-on camera and misogynist game marketing by suggesting microsoft are creeper in new ad “Use PlayStation Move, without a camera that’s connected to an online server!”

Actually, fuck, why did NO ONE make that connection. I mean, this could be a sick ploy to spy on the 47% instead of including them in their creative decisions.

I SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO THINK AT NIGHT

imnotcaradelevingne:

What a world where calling out sexism gets you accused of “playing the gender card” or “igniting a gender war”, but rampant sexism from males in politics is allowed to run wild, unscrutinised.

Just last night, a menu from a Liberal Party fundraising event came into the spotlight:

Yet this example of vile, horrendous sexism about our female Prime Minister, endorsed by the Liberal Party, gets not even a shred of the outrage that Julia Gillard’s comments did.

What hope do we have in achieving equality when such appalling double standards exist and are promoted by two of the most powerful forces in society: the media, and political figures.

These repulsive examples just prove why sexism needs to be called out.

And until we can do that without being accused of using it in some selfish way and “playing the gender card”, something is desperately fucking wrong.
