The LJ Exodus...  
So what with LJ's release 88 being a steaming pile of poo, my fandoms and flist being all but dead, and DW having open sign-ups until the end of the year... I've decided (like thousands of other LJers) to move to DW. I don't know how much I'll post here (I don't post in LJ all that much tbh), and I'll stick with LJ for the time being, but... well. LJ has been pretty shitty lately (DDOS attacks, [livejournal.com profile] igrick being a dick, ignoring their userbase) and release 88 and LJ's attitude to critisism has finally pushed me to move.

I'm kind of annnoyed because my paid time on LJ just updated a month ago for the entire year -.- Cancelling autopayments, anyhow. If I get along better with DW I may get a paid account here (I miss my icon space!)

Oh LJ, why are you being such a cock?

It's not like I just spent 20 minutes formatting that post for fun, you know. But no, you go ahead and eat all the formatting.

Grr.

Go die in a fire, you stupid fuckwit

US judge says lesbians can be "cured" by male sodiers.

Apparently, gay men shouldn't be allowed in the US military because "the overwhelmingly straight warriors who answer their county’s call [should] be spared the indignity of showering with other men who achieve lascivious enjoyment from the sight of those lithe naked bodies, and who may be tempted to seek more than the view". So to sum up - gay men are all oppertunistic rapists.

However, due to the fact that men are apparently naturally much more promiscuous than women (lolwhat? My personal experience begs to differ...) and historically "it fell to men to swing through the trees and scour the caves in search of as many women as possible to subdue and impregnate" - so basically, men naturally want to rape women - "straight male GIs [should have] a fair shot at converting lesbians and bringing them into the mainstream.”

So he thinks male GIs should correctively rape lesbians.

Jesus fucking Christ.

"Lets kill the gays! :D" - The UN  


Reposted from [livejournal.com profile] teleen_fiction:

Gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people were once again subject to the whims of homophobia and religious and cultural extremism this week, thanks to a United Nations vote that removed “sexual orientation” from a resolution that protects people from arbitrary executions. In other words, the UN General Assembly this week voted to allow LGBT people to be executed without cause. 

"UN General Assembly Votes To Execute Gays Without Cause". It's okay for a government to arbitrarily execute people on the basis of sexual orientation, which actually means ANYONE, period, because since these are executions without cause anyway, someone wouldn't have to be PROVEN GLBTQP in order to be executed.  The level of illogical stupidity here is so mind-boggling that I can't begin to fully express it, except to say - fuck the UN. 

That, and the UN should be disbanded immediately if this is their idea of preserving human rights. 

Fuck the UN.  I'm actually having to resist the urge to just keep typing that over and over.  One last time.

FUCK THE UN.

Major tl;dr post of anger. LGBTQ issues. Took about an hour to write.

LJ FUCKING ATE IT.

Fuck this, I'm having dinner. Will post afterwards.

EDIT: Oh, you don't eat that post, do you LJ?? When it took me all of ten seconds to write... GOOD CHOICE.

Faith in humanity is slipping...  

(Mostly taken from [livejournal.com profile] sf_drama. When the swearing starts, it's me.)

The Pepsi Refresh Project is a monthly grant program run by Pepsi.

From their FAQ:

We are looking for ideas from individuals, non-profits and pro-social businesses that can make a positive impact in the community. Ideas should be feasible and completed 12 months from the date you receive the first funds. Ideas must have impact within one of the 50 United States or the District of Columbia.


Each month, up to $1.3 million will be awarded as follows: 2 Grants at the $250,000 level; 10 Grants at the $50,000 level; 10 Grants at the $25,000 level; and 10 Grants at the $5,000 level.

I think we can all agree that it's a wonderful program.

Some of the ideas currently listed at the $25,000 level:
- Integrate arts with academics in a center for challenged children
- Offer reading and math after school programs to at-risk rural children
- Provide room makeovers for children with disabilities in San Diego
- FictionAlley, a Harry Potter fanfic archive has submitted a grant proposal for $25,000 in charitable funds to keep their website up.


I just... there are no words for how fucking angry I am. That money is for charity, not for your precious Snape/Harry pr0nz. How ignorant do you have to be to do something like this? And, of course, they're encouraging people to vote for them. A lot of fandom is outraged, but some people are still voting for them...

So head over to the Pepsi Refresh Project and vote. There are so many good causes, and you get 10 votes every day! Don't let some stupid fansite admins take $25,000 from someone who really needs the money. :(

LJ fail  

Okay, for everyone worried about the facebook/twitter thing, this code by [livejournal.com profile] xnguard will hide the facebook/twitter connect buttons when people comment on your journal. It won't stop them if they view your LJ in their own style, or if they have facebook/twitter automatically posting their comments, but at least it'll stop people accidently cross-posting, and hopefully deter people who haven't set it to automatically update.

Also, the LJ staff have finally responded, and there's a poll here to answer :)

Gay rights  

Thanks to [livejournal.com profile] teleen_fiction, who I snagged this from.



I'm in tears after watching this. I just... I can't understand how anyone could hate someone so much just for who they love.

I'm so lucky, much luckier than I realise. My friends support me, my family support me. I live in a country where I have equal rights, regardless of sexual orientation. Where I can be free in expressing who I love.

The most I've ever had to deal with was a few nasty words from a boy at school when I said I wouldn't have sex with him, and the fact that one of my friends can't tell her parents I'm queer or else they would try to stop her being friends with me. Both those things are unacceptable, but... Compared to the terrible things these people have suffered in that video... It's nothing.

I always kind of laughed at homophobes - I mean, how stupid do you have to be to judge someone on what gender the person they fall in love with is? Let's face it - gender isn't that big a deal. One different chromosome, a few different hormones, and a slight plumbing difference down below. It's not much. It doesn't change the person.

But homophobes aren't stupid. They're inhuman. We're supposed to be a civilised species - murdering someone on the bases of their sexuality - on the bases of something they can't change - isn't civilised.

If anyone can watch that video and still feel that being gay is "wrong", just defriend me. Now. I don't want to have anything to do with you.

LJ making me sad :(  

You'll probably see a lot of these kinds of posts in the next few days, but please can I ask that anyone commenting on my journal (including on f-locked posts) please not repost on Facebook or Twitter?

There's an almighty furora about the lack of opt-out on this new repost feature, because comments on a Real Life Facebook or Twitter account might give away people's more anonymous fandom identities.

I use this livejournal account for fandom only and don't want it associated with my Real Life facebook or any other account.

(Please repost this type message to your own account if necessary! Fight the man!)

EDIT: AND NOW TAGS WITH A "/" IN DON'T FUCKING WORK! WHAT THE FUCK, LJ?? DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND HOW MANY PEOPLE AND COMMS USE FORWARD SLASHES?

Fucking hell, my paid time is up soon and I'm not sure if I'm going to renew it. I AM NOT PAYING FOR THIS BULLSHIT, LJ.

Fuck  


So the Lib Dems have betrayed us - Nick Clegg is forming a coallition with the Tories, Gordon Brown has resigned, and David Fucking Cameron has just become Prime Minister. Fuck.

This means I as good as voted Tory - well, I'm never voted Lib Dem again. I think they're going to get slaughtered next election, political reform or not. People won't forgive them for this. Their grassroots are going to be pissed.

So, I'm off to burn my "Vote Lib Dem" poster... >:(


Edit: It didn't burn that well, it was sort of plastic-y, but here's my very singed Lib Dem poster:
