strugglingtobeheard:
in regards to the HONY thing. i was wondering if maybe this is something that ties into the ability for him to go as far as demand all these people to take that image off the net. i guess many ultra orthodox jews have been harshly shunned for outting any kind of sexual assault/rape/molestation. i am sure this article has a possibility of creating a kind of stereotype and i...

Riley touched on this a long time ago with their Rules of a Whiteness-Free Discussion. However, I’m interested in digging a bit deeper to figure out a new way of talking about social justice online.
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking and reflecting, and I’m starting to believe that POCs need our own movement that comes at social justice from our ways of...

I’ve seen this shit before and have been meaning to write about it.
Imagine an abusive relationship (can work with romantic relationships and/or with family) and this is said by the abuser:
“Why do you want to leave me? I allowed you to live in my house, and I make all the money. You’re dependent on me. YOU need ME. Nobody will ever love you like I do, and I have everything you...

Mitt Romney Inadvertantly Teaches Us A Lesson... →
Consider the kind of man Romney is. He has not a bit of compassion, empathy, or regard for people other than himself and the people he holds dear1. He casually destroys people’s lives, makes their jobs disappear, then laughs and makes jokes about it. His ever-changing political stances prove that he doesn’t hold values, he pretends them, and says whatever is politically expedient no matter who it...

Maria in the comics
She may have been a white Russian woman at some points, and the cartoon did darken her noticeably, but in Civil War and Secret Invasion, the comic events where she played a pivotal role, she looks a hell of a lot like a light-skinned WoC to me.
And given that sometimes she’s white and sometimes she’s not, and that there was a full cast almost...

Mickey Smith is completely underrated
the-eleventh-blog:
The guy fucking saved the universe with a yellow truck.
He was loyal to a woman who fell in love with a man no one can compete with.
He went to another universe just to be with his Grandma.
He broke into a motherfucking school with a motherfucking metal dog in the backseat.
He has a god damn 80’s song dedicated to him.

On birth control.
cabell:
thisthat-and-liberalstuff:
So, I see a lot of arguments talking about how “but birth control isn’t JUST to prevent pregnancy, it’s health care X, Y, and Z!”
And I’m just sitting here like “is the prevention of unwanted pregnancy suddenly NOT legitimate healthcare?”
When people give reasons as to why birth control in its various forms should be provided cheap and affordable,...

Why I am Angry
golden-zephyr:
{I was asked to add a warning for an image of covered dead bodies—so warning}
I get told often that I am “angry” and I should just ‘chill out’ and ‘knock it off’…
No one ever listens to why I am angry, in fact, I don’t think anyone ever asks.
But, I’m going to tell you anyway.
This morning I was very upset by a tweet that Joey from A Softer World tweeted—something about...
