Hello friends,
You might be as surprised as I am to learn that Team StarKid has officially started an official tumblr, and that this is our first official post. We’ve avoided it thus far because of rumors told to us by fans and friends. Rumors of unsavory shipping, bizarre role-play (Nick Lang’s Legs), and fanfics that would chill us to the bone.

Why do women hate cat calls so much?
This is a serious question, I’ve seen a lot of backlash against them and I would like to know the reason.
A cat call is a quick way of saying “Girl u lookin fine”. Personally, if I a group of random girls told me how fine I looked I would stand taller and feel better about myself throughout the rest of...

I just really want to start a gym for geeks where you’d have to like run away from Daleks or GET TO ENGINEERING through some ducts or like compete in a Tri-Wizard Tournament or train with lightsabers and it would just be hilarious nerdy wonderful fun.

I’ve been checking out the #biphobia tag, and so many mean comments thrown at bisexuals are along the lines of “Stop being so greedy,” and it got me to thinking… You folks remember in The L Word, when Dana’s mom said that all women have feelings for their friends, but they didn’t have to act on them? And it sounds super homophobic, but we also know that...

once i had a guy tell me that he doesnt like girls who are overweight with big boobs because “theyre boobs are made of fat not real boobs”
(submitted by anonymous)
I’m sorry, I laughed so hard at this one. Because real boobs are made of kittens and duct tape.

Refusing to dialog with a community you supposedly represent/are a part of is a really really good way to loose that communities support come book buying time and word spreads FAST about people who are cissexist binarist douche canoes.
Don’t say I didn’t warn you kateordie.
I definitely hope we can spread it far and wide.

I find it really weird that we’re expected to be aroused and excited about the idea of seeing two strangers fuck, but hardly a soul in a hundred knows what ‘compersion’ means.
Lovely observation!

It is cisheteronormative as fuck and pathologizes LGBT people. It makes our acceptance conditional on being unable to avoid being queer. “I tried to be a good boy, I tried soooo hard to be straight, but I just couldn’t help myself and turned out queer. I know I failed at being straight, but please don’t be mean about it”.

This morning my daughter, who is nearly four, saw the stretch marks on my hips and stomach. She ran her hands over them and asked what they were.
“I got them when I grew up,” I said, “and a few more when I had you.” I grinned down at her. “They’re my stripes. You’ll get stripes too when you grow up.”
She was overjoyed. “Really?”
I think she’s in her room...
