Tumblr, I am going on tour. Come hang out!
panasonicyouth:
In an effort to promote my Mark Does Stuff Internet empire and the oncoming release of the first Mark Reads Harry Potter ebook (LIKE TWO DAYS OH MY GOD), I am going on the road in February to host a series of meet-ups and live readings of various things I’ve done on my sites!
I run Mark Reads and Mark Watches, where I pedantically write about the experience of discovering a new...

andromedalogic:
it frustrates me how awareness of vitally important disability issues, concepts and human rights violations is so unlikely to spread beyond the disability community
like, it’s gr8 that tumblr is there to defend me if someone says ‘oh my god, I’m so OCD!’ in my presence— but you know, that’s a minor annoyance. even last semester, when my lab instructor repeatedly said ‘don’t do...

robotamputee asked: Okay so I totally understand and agree with your stance on the word queer as it pertains to heterosexuals, but it made me think about the whole "are asexuals/demisexuals/grey-asexuals queer" debate. I identify as heteroromantic and asexual, and I've never been able to figure out whether that 'counts' as queer or not. So, yeah, I'd love your thoughts on this, since you...

sometimesalex asked: I only recently learned what queer meant, after joining my college's LGBT group. In my Women in Literature class, we spoke about Queer Theory, and our presenter mentioned how straight couples could be queer, because the acts they perform are not gendernormative (I think I'm using that right.) But then you said "oh my god straight people leave my queer alone it is mine not...
Anonymous asked: Mark, I just thought of another reason why you should visit Vancouver on your next tour. The Doctor Who tv movie was filmed here! So, keeping score, Vancouver is also home to the filming of the X-Files, Fringe, Battlestar Galactica, Twilight (but we don't talk about that), Supernatural and also Said the Whale. Plus we are awesome up here.

m-rningstar asked: Sorry to bother you, Mark, but I was hoping you could help spread the word about Sashi (yourdarlinglittlesammy). She's dying from endometrosis, and has no way to pay for the surgery that could save her life, or the emergency medical bills from trying to figure out what was wrong in the first place, costing upwards of $30,000. A donation tumblr's been started (donateforsashi) with more...

fandom-overload asked: hey yo, so, I'm gonna be at the Redwood City TFiOS event and I heard that there was maybe a Mark Reads event to go along with it? If there is I'm definitely interested in going and would really appreciate any information?

Cis straight white people are trying to shut Arkh...
thearkhproject:
Yesterday, notice was received from Kate at Indiegogo that part of #Arkh’s pitch on indiegogo was “unlawful”. Namely, that the lines about using the money to hire queer people and PoC artists were “breaking anti-discrimination laws”. Now Arkh’s goal is to not only make this game, but to use the money to support the community at the end of its goals, the queer community and the...

I just need you all to know this
I’m at Farley’s East in downtown Oakland, my favorite little coffee shop near my neighborhood. In their bathroom, they have a giant black chalkboard on one wall, and they always ask questions and encourage people to write or draw their answers. Today, the question is “What would you like to see in 2012?”
There are a lot of great responses. End corporate personhood. A...

prettybeingme:
I have read a lot of pro choice arguments today and I have to say the “If abortion becomes illegal women will do it anyway but they will have unsafe back alley abortions and possible die from it” argument is the most hilarious so far.
If someone decides to shove a coat hanger up their vagina to kill a baby then I could care less if she died too. Why should I give a fuck if you...

hey so
if you want to watch a movie that will never allow you to see michael gambon (dumbledore #2) in any other role ever
and if you want to watch a movie that is simultaneously gorgeous, brilliantly filmed, and full of vibrant colors
and if that same movie is also one of the most disgusting and nauseating and repulsive things you’ve ever witnessed
and if that same movie has hellen mirren,...

– “Iteration,” by Propagandhi, off of Potemkin City Limits (2006). One of my favorite songs, and some of the most powerful lyrics I’ve ever read. Good shit.

There’s a video here of Ron Paul in front of a Confederate flag making a speech about how the South was right in the Civil War.

Anonymous asked: Hi Mark! You answered a recent ask by saying that vegan food is responsible for the "oppression and murder of people of color around the world," and I would just like more information about that! I want to minimize the negative impact I have (I'm not a vegan, but I'm still concerned). Thanks!

Anonymous asked: just got a nice ask in my inbox that told be I am a "bloodmouth" for not being vegan what does that mean? do you ever heard of that before?
lesbrary asked: My favourite theory was that McGonnagal was a spy for Voldemort. I totally bought it. Read the beginning of the Philosopher's Stone with the idea that she's on Voldie's side and it totally adds up. (And how did she know Dumbledore was going to be there?! So mysterious!) I was relieved to be wrong, though.
msprufrock asked: My favorite crack theory is from the HP fandom: the "Knight2King" theory. It popped up after Order of the Phoenix, arguing that Dumbledore and Ron were the same person, and that Ronbledore had traveled back in time to help Harry. It also involved the idea (sometimes seen on its own) that the giant chess game in Sorcerer's Stone actually predicted all the major events/deaths of the...
