The Life and Tumbls of Patrick of the Bubble aka Irvine. You’ll find Rants, Links, but mostly information about me and my opinions. Many posts are big blog post style, so a “Read More” link is used to shorten posts for feeds. Some of my posts will be emotional or controversial. Always refer to the “Read More” sentence. Thanks. I write a lot about social/political/world issues and you may or may not agree with my opinions. I am not and do not claim to be an expert on any of the topics, and am only presenting my thoughts formed from knowledge gained through research or school. Feel free to let me know what you think, I am always open to new ideas and perspectives.

Someone raised a very interesting insight about heteronormativity at the k-12 level. Remember how during school trips and stuff, they would have separate hotel rooms for boys and girls? Well that&#8217;s assuming that boys are attracted to girls and girls to boys right? What if someone identified as LGBTQ? Interesting, huh?</p>http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23891766684http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23891766684Sun, 27 May 2012 15:41:57 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3o66uGg1p1qjk80ao1_400.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23874301963http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23874301963Sun, 27 May 2012 11:14:15 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4nekzpR1Z1rswuxxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23873616754http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23873616754Sun, 27 May 2012 11:02:55 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4erydgj6A1qh0b3jo1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4erydgj6A1qh0b3jo2_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://thetimpark.tumblr.com/post/23866384248" class="tumblr_blog">thetimpark</a>:</p> <blockquote><p>lul</p></blockquote>http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23866455700http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23866455700Sun, 27 May 2012 08:59:28 -0700<p>Will my parents understand that I care more about passing the Middle Class Scholarship Act, fixing campus climate issues, and advocating for institutional change, then I do about my future?

Found out that the Lab doesn&#8217;t even open until Noon. And no team members were there. Texted everyone repeatedly. Got no responses. Waited, went home. Got a text at 5:55pm that one team member had gone to the lab sometime during the day and no team members were there&#8230;</p> <p>Yesterday, scheduled a Saturday 8pm movie showing at the Spectrum. Got there at 7:56pm. Saw that the 8pm showing was sold out. Next showing at 9:45pm, far later than planned for. Waited, went home. </p> <p>Bleh</p>http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23840947164http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23840947164Sat, 26 May 2012 20:45:41 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4mfwhwMYS1qlt206o1_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4mfwhwMYS1qlt206o2_r1_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4mfwhwMYS1qlt206o3_250.gif"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4mfwhwMYS1qlt206o4_500.gif"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://simpledisneythings.com/post/23806518067">simpledisneythings</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>While the girls are away, the guys have their day.</p> </blockquote>http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23814740630http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23814740630Sat, 26 May 2012 13:04:58 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m45gp4lqtf1qa09cwo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://buttsbutts.tumblr.com/post/23213623822/get-it-because-its-a-cell-wall">buttsbutts</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Get it because it’s a <em><strong>CELL WALL</strong></em></p> </blockquote>http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23814728897http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23814728897Sat, 26 May 2012 13:04:45 -0700<p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://laserguidedcarebearmissile.tumblr.com/post/19627082423/reblog-if-you-think-the-next-disney-prince-should-be">laserguidedcarebearmissile</a>:</p> <blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p><img src="http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lls71eOmS01qfw4zy.jpg"/></p> <p><strong>4 million and counting</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>5 million</p> </blockquote> <p>I’m cool with that :))</p> </blockquote>http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23770459874http://baritonepats.tumblr.com/post/23770459874Fri, 25 May 2012 19:10:17 -0700“My mother said I must always be intolerant of ignorance but understanding of illiteracy.

We get to have moments of nostalgia. We get to reflect on how far we&#8217;ve come and changed and how much has stayed the same.
