Zola’s story here is a string of tweets about this wild story where these two girls, both sex workers, go to Florida for a weekend and it’s just… just read it. It’s absolutely wild.
And people on tumblr (and on tumblr only, I’ve noticed) are flipping out because “this story isn’t funny, it’s about sex workers, sex working isn’t funny” and it’s like.. that ain’t what’s funny about it. The way the story is told, so casually and with side comments from the author is what makes it funny. But teenagers on this website, with no concept of anything, are like “THIS STORY TALKS ABOUT SEX WORKERS! IT’S NOT FUNNY AT ALL! SEX WORK IS NOT FUNNY!” And while they are correct, sex work isn’t funny, THAT’S NOT WHAT THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE STORY IS. THAT’S NOT WHY PEOPLE THINK IT’S FUNNY. And some people on this website can’t grasp the concept that while a story contains serious undertones/topics, it can still be humorous.
POPE TWITTER IS FUCKING POPPIN
things heat up in the jesus fandom
SWEET POTATOES YES. I adore Fr. Martin.
Looked into it, and it’s real. Not only that, but if you look at his twitter account, he made some more awesome tweets that day that make me really happy to be a Catholic. I’ll include screenshots and text versions of them below.

It saddens me that a #trans student cannot choose what bathrooms to use. A basic need. It’s an affront to their dignity as human beings.

And who is harmed by a #trans student using a bathroom? I’ve seen women using men’s rooms when the ladies’ rooms were full. Who is harmed?

As usual, the one who is made to suffer indignities is the one on the margins, the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them.”

But for Jesus, there is no “other.” There is no “them.” There is only “us.” So we must be about openness, acceptance and inclusion. #trans

Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the confused, the outcast, the minority? The Christian should. #trans

Because Jesus did.
His Facebook post that day says something similar: Who should stand with the marginalized, the mocked, the bullied, the outcast, the confused, the hurt? Who should stand with the one seen as “different,” the one seen as “other,” the one seen as “them”? Who should stand with people who often stand alone? The Christian should. Because Jesus did.
This is how the positive versions of Christianity work.
okay not only is this twitter account fucking gold but its also so accurate i could cry
the fair trade latte fuckery hath slain me.
The only thing that can make this better are these two tweets from the girl behind Guy In Your MFA:


Alt-right blogger Jenna Abrams (@Jenn_Abrams) enjoyed a large following in Twitter, and her tweets were cited by Buzzfeed, the NY Times, and other news agencies. It turned out “she” was another creation of the Internet Research Agency, the Russian government-funded troll farm in St. Petersburg.

We’re really at this point of the dystopia, huh
I thought this was a joke but wow no Trump really actually did threaten to shut down Twitter because it “silences conservative voices,” a claim inspired by the fact that Twitter attached a fact-check to a couple of his tweets.
