Why is it so hard to find SYTYCD gifs?

You should check out my subblog sytycdphotosets.tumblr.com. I make SYTYCD gifs and take requests. :)

I missed seeing ballroom; this is literally all the ballroom clips from the first episode. They better show at least one good ballroom/Latin audition before Vegas Week.

Agreed. I love ballroom.

There was a clip of Vard Margaryan and Kateryna Angelone doing their mambo (he was wearing all black and she was wearing this multicolor two-piece competition costume). Their clips were featured in the first episode and in a promo. Vard was the one that was auditioning. I believe he went through to choreography and then was given a ticket to Vegas.

Thank you! This makes up two clips and still less than a second of the show though. :( I want more! In the clip Kateryna was wearing a number tag. Do you know if she made it?

I have no idea. All I saw was Vard in the choreography and when he and the other people passed and were all “I’M GOING TO VEGAS!” I don’t remember seeing her. That’d be a shame if she didn’t make it. I’d be surprised since they’re both amazing dancers. I’m still kinda irked they weren’t interviewed or anything. It would’ve been nice to have at least one active representative of American Rhythm on the show from square one.

The judges have a tendency to send the female partners straight through to Vegas (if at all) and the males usually have to stay for choreography. Fingers crossed that that is the case this year and that they both made it. :)

a lot of people have been asking what certain songs are from the episode so instead of answering individually i’m going to post a list of all the songs from the episode and where they were located.

coming up soon.

To save yourself some work, redirect them to these websites: (1) and (2).


So glad midterms are over!



“Even if no substitution is obvious (Step 2), some inspiration or ingenuity (or even desperation) may suggest an appropriate substitution.”

Gee, thanks calc book. You’re so helpful.

do all american high school parties actually have those red plastic cups or is this a lie created by the movies

They actually use those red plastic SOLO cups.



You won’t allow me to go to school.
I won’t become a doctor.

Poem written by an 11 year old Afghan girl 

This poem was recorded in a NYT magazine article about female underground poetry groups in Afghanistan. An amazing article about the ways in which women are using a traditional two line poetry form to express their resistance to male oppression, their feelings about love (considered blasphemous), and their doubts about religion.

I’m gay, but Pasha, asdlkjaf. His control and ballroom skills are a huge turn on.

The speech I gave last Thursday at the Diversity Walk/Candle Light Vigil for the Laramie Project at Sinclair. It was broadcasted on the local NPR culture segment this Sunday.

Transcript

In between the time that I was born to right now, we have come to matter. Before 1969, there were no laws protecting LGBT people and no national organizations supporting us. In 1993 Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell became law. A year later I was born. In 1996 the Defense of Marriage Act was signed by President Bill Clinton. It wasn’t until 2009, that sexual and gender minorities became protected under the Matthew Shepard Hate Crimes Prevention Act. Yet here we are in 2012, openly celebrating diversity, mourning our losses, and reflecting on the hard path it took to get here. I may be too young to enter Club Masque (our local gay club), but I am finally old enough to give a voice to those who are afraid to come out of the closet. Figuring out that you are different, and then having to announce it to everyone can seem scary, especially when you are young. Sometimes it feels like nobody understands, but take a look around you. Everyone you see here is an ally and we are all here for you. We want to give you a place where you can feel at home and belong. You will always find somewhere in UD’s Spectrum, Sinclair’s BriTe siGnaL Alliance, and Wright State’s Rainbow Alliance (our local college-level GLBTQIA alliances). You have PFLAG, youthFirst, and the Trevor Project. You have Dayton. Hate is not a Dayton value and bigotry will not be tolerated.

And to those, to those who say we need to change, I say to you, you’re right. We do need to change. We need to change how the public sees us. To people that think they can ask a girl like me, to a man like that, that happy same-sex couple over there that we need to change, I say to you, we are here. But we’re staying. No longer in hiding, no longer in the closet, and no longer ashamed of who we are.

We live in a country now that has equal marriage rights in 8 states. If this can all happen in less than 8 years, imagine what will happen in the next 8. We have shown the world that we are here and we we are not stopping until we get equal rights for everybody.

It will get better. We matter.



My heart aches

foreverstar71:

I am not mad at Riker or hate Caitlynn.  She is very nice and quite pretty and she seems to make him happy, I think we’d be friends.  So if he decides to be with her my heart aches not because he likes her but because I know it would never be me.

It’s no fun when your fantasy is damaged by reality….

Caitlynn Lawson is dating Tadd Gadduang, not Riker.
