ladymalchav: threestories: weareallmedie: sheppardmckay: katycatt: bricesander: Miley speaks for us all.  the face omg Yeah, because Miley Cyrus should be throwing stones. Not that I don’t agree that was a superb diss. Eh. It’s Justin “Anne Frank would’ve been a Bieliber” Bieber. After that one, Miley’s going to have to work pretty hard to be a worse mess than that little asshole. I like Miley Cyrus a lot and always have. Her public persona has always been one of confidence, empowerment, facing your fears and following your passions. Her music may not be everyone’s cup of tea (I’m a pop music fan and I think she has a cool voice but YMMV), but since she was a wee teenager, she’s written consistently positive songs about how it’s okay to be flawed and be scared or worried that you’re not good enough and that it doesn’t make you less of a person to fail to live up to other people’s ideals. Generally speaking, she’s articulate, outspoken, funny, and largely unconcerned with the media’s creepy micro-criticism of her style, her body and her decision-making.  I think that is a valuable message to send to young girls. She is also passionate about LGBT rights, to the extent that she got a tattoo in support of marriage equality last year and rallies her fans to not support companies that donate to anti-gay lobbyists. Soooo I kinda do think she can afford to throw a stone or two. :)

  • (I’m running errands for my pregnant wife. While walking to a nearby store, I see two teenagers harassing a child that is only four or five years old. I shoo them away from the boy, and he introduces himself.)

  • Me:

    “So, where’s your mom at?”

  • Boy:

    “She’s in the store. Do you have kids?”

  • Me:

    “Not yet. We’re expecting a baby girl soon, though.”

  • Boy:

    “Well, she’s going to turn out nice, like you! So, I’m going to marry her someday!”

  • (I laugh, and play along while I bring him to the service desk, and wait until his mom picks him up. Six years later, my daughter comes home from school and introduces us to a friend that defended her against a bully on the playground. I didn’t recognize him, but he certainly knew who I was!)
