“when people get mad at other people saying that something they did was...”
– tooth&nail: (via wewantrevolutiongirlstylenow)
My laptop broke and took everything with it
including my senior thesis. I have 24 hours of work to redo and that is a low estimate.
Anyway i’ll be blogging from my cell for two weeks until my new laptop arrives.
Don’t send me emails about how much my blog sucks until then. Thanks!

baddominicana:
that is one of the most common ways to rape women: while theyre drunk.
if you want to have sex with women while theyre drunk because its “easier” than when theyre sober,
you are a rapist in the making, if not one already.
thats the fucking truth.
Dropping truth bombs.

I am calling tomorrow. That is complete bull shit.
Prejudice: [PoC calls white person a cracker].
Racism: Two centuries of PoC being stolen from their homelands, driven out of their native lands, tricked, raped, infected with disease, and otherwise downtrodden so as to remove them from any chance of being the dominant race.
Prejudice: [PoC gives a white person a nickname playing on the fact that they're white].
Racism: PoC must, from the moment they realize a baby is on the way, worry about whether giving a child a name reflecting their heritage will affect their chances at a good life in the future. Hint: it will.
Not racism: Calling out that slavery lasted for two centuries, and civil rights did not happen for PoC until the 20th Century (you know, the century which only ended TWELVE YEARS AGO).
Racism: We should not talk about it, because it makes [non-PoC] feel bad.
Not racism: A non-PoC actor can get pretty much any role s/he wnats.
Racism: ... including roles that were originally written as PoC. PoC actors must settle for roles making them servants, sassy women, jive turkey men, criminals, drug addicts, or abused downtrodden prostitutes, the better to reinforce the negative mental image of PoC in the minds of the zeitgeist, and hold up the excuse that "they bring it on themselves".
Not Racism: Flattering pictures of people used to represent them on the web.
Racism: Flattering pictures of Sarah Palin, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Bachman. But the most unflattering pic available of Michelle Obama is used for the same article.
Not Racism: Articles about women's features.
Racism: Article purporting to have scientific "proof" that Black women are uglier than women of any other race.
Not Racism: America is where everyone is supposed to have equal chance.
Racism: Equal chance? Freed slaves were lucky if they got 40 Acres and a Mule, after working for free for generations for people who are now wealthy and offered no other reparations.
Not Racism: Irish History Month, Italian History Month, French History Month, German History Month, etc. All of which would, technically, qualify, btw, as White History Months.
Racism: It's not Cameroon History Month, Nigerian History Month, Egyptian History Month, Zimbabwean History Month, Zaire History Month, Somalian History Month, etc. It's BLACK History Month. Doesn't matter what country in Africa you come from. If you're Black you just all get lumped in together.
Not Racism: PoC describe their experiences.
Racism: Non-PoC interrupt, derail, silence, mock, deride, or cite "oversensitivity" because it makes them feel uncomfortable to know that PoC have endured this, and to have to acknowledge their privilege -- and their responsibility to do something about it if they really are as anti-racist as they profess.
...add your own examples.

what?
I don't like girls who wear slutty clothes
turbanswag:
If they’re actually beautiful, they don’t have to wear that clothing to show off their attractiveness.
And we don’t like men who tell us that we should dress a certain way to gain their approval. No matter what they’re saying. I will wear make up, slutty clothes, high heels, ugly boots, holey undies, a padded bra, no bra, sweats or a goddamn snuggie and no one will...

My new blog about life in Utah →
I’m going to post everyday observations and stories about life in Utah. Expect to be fascinated and amused. Where else will you read about encounters with polygamous people, judgements about coffee consumption and those awkward moments when someone tries to explain why they are getting into the top level of heaven and you are not? Submissions will be appreciated. Tell us about all the good,...

The Walk for Choice Turns One: A Look Back →
stfusexists:
This has not been a good week, month, or year for reproductive rights. But a year ago today, the Walk for Choice happened, and that was an incredible victory (due mainly to the organizing superpowers of Raven).
It’s important to look back and remember what an incredible statement and victory that day was. We have a lot more battles to fight, but we are not in it alone. We stand...

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this before, but I though I’d submit it anyway. There are so many ridiculous things in here that I can’t even…. I think my favorite is probably “In the classroom you can teach that homosexuality is OK, but you better not use the word God in the process.” What a gem.

The more I read this the more confused I get.
I learned something really neat today
The Mirena IUD can prevent cervical cancer from doing what it does best; growing in your cervix.
There is one instance of a contraceptive preventing cancer.
Take that birth control haters!
I went to visit my obgyn today
And I think I stumbled into the twilight zone.
I expected to see a lot of pregnant patients (and I did) but I didn’t expect to be treated by a team of pregnant women.
The doctor, the nurse, the receptionist, and the lab tech = All pregnant.
I don’t know how I feel about being in a building full of pregnant women. Talk about being the odd one out.

In response to the Mormon practice of baptising dead Jews — including those who died in the Holocaust — Stephen Colbert circumcised all the dead Mormons by proxy on his show last night.
“Mormon tov!”
May Yaweh bless you, Stephen Colbert.
Most of them were already circumcised. Love, a slut in Utah

The seven women below are just a small representation of the countless women who have died because they did not have access to safe and legal abortions. Most of these women died before Roe v. Wade offered them a safe alternative. However, women continue to die and suffer injury due to current restrictions that particularly affect young women and poor women.
