Chart of the Day: “Explicit Support for Same-Sex Marriage by State and Age” (pdf) by Jeff Lax and Justin Phillips of the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. Created using data collected for a joint paper on gay rights.
Prof. Lax breaks it down:
Seven states cross the 50% mark overall as of our current estimates, but the generation gap is huge. If policy were set by state-by-state majorities of those 65 or older, none would allow same-sex marriage. If policy were set by those under 30, only 12 states would not allow-same-sex marriage.

“the loss in Maine today was a big let down for LGBT rights, especially since so many activists thought it would pass. As a transman who cannot currently legally marry (to marry you need a copy of your birth certificate, in my state of birth the only way to change the legal sex on your birth certificate is after you’ve had a hysterectomy and bottom surgery, which I cannot currently receive due to financial constraints) I know firsthand that it is not only lesbians and gays who are impacted by marriage inequality, transpeople are too. Marriage inequality impacts ALL queer people. Despite this set back we need to keep working as a community towards achieving the rights we deserve.”
Shm-reduplication is a form of reduplication in which the original word or its first syllable (the base) is repeated with the copy (the reduplicant) beginning with shm- (sometimes schm-), pronounced [ʃm].
The construction is generally used to indicate irony, derision or scepticism with respect to comments about the discussed object:
He’s just a baby!
Baby-shmaby. He’s already 5 years old!

Automatic Linguistics Reblog (I get excited when I see the phonetic alphabet).
Aileen (and, for that matter, Erica!) is one of the smart and cool young women in the industry I’ve had the pleasure of meeting (around 2 years ago now, at 2 in the morning on a tour bus — where the most scandalous thing we all did was go find the Ghostbusters firehouse). I always enjoy reading her tumblr and hearing about life on the road since I’m on the desk-side of the industry, and probably always will be aside from a few mini tours. Scroll through some of her more recent entries for some Q&A about her experiences and advice for girls looking to get into the business.
Ladies, girls, youngins’ - peep the Q & A my homie Aileen put up on her blog. She is one of the most LEGIT humans around and has a great prospective on chicks in the music business.
It ain’t all glitz and glam my friend!




Seriously, my friends are awesome. HalloMeme 2009! Read the report and see more pictures (and a video in which I sound drunk) at Urlesque.
Reblogging because it makes me sad to see so many young girls who’ve reblogged this calling “bullshit” because the poster doesn’t have “proof.” Take the names and bands out if you like, but this sort of stuff does happen and everyone should have more self respect.
automatic reblog.
ladies, get some self respect and don’t let band dudes get away with this shit.
dudes, your laminate isn’t a free pass to being an asshole.
A beautiful find by a dear friend of BeGayLittleBird in some porn called “Emo Twinks.” We sent this over to Gabe Saporta and his reaction was, of course, “Holy Fuck!” There’s a whole video to go along with it, SFW-version, here.
