Sweet Transvestite
Original Soundtrack
Tim Curry - Sweet Transvestite (From the Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack)
We’ll just say where we are, then go fuck in the car.
we should just play sports instead of fight wars. sports stir up more patriotism than wars, and we treat athletes better than we treat our own soldiers.
also on the upside: people don’t tend to DIE.

“Can I share with you my worldview? All of humankind has one thing in common: the sandwich. I believe that all anyone really wants in this life is to sit in peace and eat a sandwich.”

Listen
There I was in uniform
Looking at the art teacher
I was just a girl thenNever have I loved since then
He was not that much older than I was
He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum
He asked us what our favorite work of art was
But never could I tell him it was him
Oh, I wish I could tell himOh, I wish I could have told him
I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts
I liked the John Singer Sargents
He told me he liked Turner
And never have I turned since then
No, never have I turned to any other man
All this having been said,
I married an executive company head
All this having been done, a Turner - I own oneAnd here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,
Thinking of the art teacher
I was just a girl then
Never have I loved since thenNo, never have I loved any other man
Rufus Wainwright - The Art Teacher
“Evolutionary psychologist Satoshi Kanazawa at the the London School of Economics and Political Science correlated data on these behaviors with IQ from a large national U.S. sample and found that, on average, people who identified as liberal and atheist had higher IQs. This applied also to sexual exclusivity in men, but not in women. The findings will be published in the March 2010 issue of Social Psychology Quarterly.”

“Dress every day like you’re going to get murdered in those clothes.”

“This [earthquake in Chile] is much more powerful than the Haitian earthquake—1000 times more powerful, I’m hearing—but fortunately looks like it will be much less devastating thanks to Chile’s vastly superior infrastructure, government capacity, and general level of wealth.”
—Matt Yglesias, underlining the degree to which poverty amplifies the negative effects of pretty much anything, including natural disasters. (via abbyjean) (via dirtsky) (via clingtomymouth)
“Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything — all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”
—Steve Jobs (via suzannexie) (via cheneymabel) (via cocknbull)
“It also amuses me that in the presence of a gay man, a straight man might feel so uncomfortable because he’s suddenly the possible subject of someone’s sexual desire; something that women tend to suffer from all the time. Not all women feel as uncomfortable with it, but certainly, we’re encouraged to think it’s flattering when we’re gawked at and drooled over and objectified, rather than being creeped the fuck out by it. Of course, when the same thing might happened to a man, then they make a military law out of it.”

“I wondered, for the first time in my life, if life was worth all the work it took to live. What exactly made it worth it? What’s so horrible about being dead forever and not feeling anything, and not even dreaming? What’s so great about feeling and dreaming?”
—Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (via wahlros) (via wastemyself)
“I never really thought about women before, it kind of just happened with Samantha. It surprised me. … If I wasn’t with Samantha, I would probably be with a boy next. She’s the only woman I’ve been attracted to. … We love each other. We might reconcile the relationship, maybe. I don’t know.”
—Lindsay Lohan tells The Sun it’s Sam or bust boys. Ughhh…. (via girlfriendisahomo)
BEST PART OF BEING IN A SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIP
YOUR WARDROBE DOUBLES
SO MUCH PLAID
Proof that being happy doesn't mean you lose the Muse
From an Interview in the Guardian with Rufus Wainwright
He feared once or twice that his settled relationship with Jörn might have a debilitating effect on his gift for tainted love songs, the yearning, nuanced ballads, one part Morrissey, one part Mahler, with which he made his name.
“I wondered if not being in these fatalistic disasters with boys, I would lose this dark lake of pain to drink from. But I needn’t have worried too much,” he says, with his wild laugh. “In many ways, Songs for Lulu is a reaffirmation of that persona. Highly romantic, highly unstable. I mean, what I have found is that once you give up on a life, it doesn’t go away. You are always appeasing, or bargaining with, or neglecting that former self, the spirit who used to be behind the wheel, and would like to be still. I don’t cross to that side of the street any more. But it is important for me as a healthy person to acknowledge that the demons are still around.”
I don’t like this “Tumblr Saving Space By Cutting Off Blogs” thing this site has going on right now.
Ah, he’s just utterly wonderful and humble and brilliant.
