Those NRA bitches sure sound whiny and petulant and scared, for a pack of purported warriors. Wah wah wah, children are speaking out against us and they’re all getting a bigger audience than we are, wah wah wah, why didn’t that anti-gun rally invite any pro-gun speakers?

“exploiting children as part of their plan to DESTROY the Second Amendment and strip us of our right to defend ourselves and our loved ones.”

I’m sobbing. This woman is so brave. To be thrown into to this and handle it with such strength and poise. Last I heard she’s attending my Alma Mata in the fall and I don’t feel worthy.

So because you don’t enjoy it, you don’t believe it’s possible anyone else can? And those who do enjoy BDSM are cheap and easy? That’s a pretty fucked up worldview.

If you don’t like BDSM, don’t do it. And if someone tries to shame you for it, they’re giant assholes. But this?

This is how to be an ally. Recognizing one’s privilege, and not feeling guilty and defensive about , but using it to help bring some other people’s truths to the light, and calling out the ignorance at the same time.

And an 11-yr old shall lead us.

What a sad sack of shit you are.

Yes, her! When she was talking about all life not being valued the same, it made me so sad that she understands that awful truth at such a young age.

 Well friends, this article was horrifically timely. Just took this image at my local Hyvee. This shit is out of control and we cannot get distracted by the WHY until we have the HOW on lock down.

People of color in this country, in this culture, tend to not matter as much as those who are white; that is the truth of America. In the Black Lives Matter movement, young black people have been shouting from the rooftops until their voices are raw and hoarse, and America hasn’t listened. But now that it’s white kids…

“Gun fatalism” reminds me of a mindset that I hear in a lot of conversations with people raised in and around Appalachia: that life is hard and the forces of nature are set against you and cruelly indifferent. Shit happens to people. It happens a lot. It’s fire and flood and mudslides and tornados, and now it’s guns…

Trump will try to ignore this event until someone in his circle points out that this march drew way more people than his inauguration. Then it will be all “Fake NEWS!” and “HER EMAILS!” rage tweets for the next several days or till someone stops feeding him Trucker Speed.

How can you expect Fox News to focus on such a frivolous non-story when Crooked Hillary is still out there, running free, sending emails all willy-nilly?

BDSM is not for everyone. It has never pretended to be. It isn’t some ‘cool girl’ thing. It isn’t about throwing on a bit of rubber for a thrill. It is a deep and vital need for a lot of people. Denigrating other people’s sexual needs as a ‘gimmick’ isn’t helpful. At all.

No, I’m sick of people practicing purity politics because they are impatient toddlers who are not acquainted with real, messy life.

Abuse isn’t the sole driver of women in porn. Women like sex! Women like performing! Porn isn’t 100% bad all the time, but it does require a lot more work than most people are willing to put into it, to find porn that is good for all the participants.

Ehhh I can see why some people find the industry suspect (bc of the James Dean and abusers like him) and maybe don’t engage in watching it but I do think there’s a fuckload of misinformation about sex work and usually it’s centered around women/LGBTQ community and not the actual people who should be providing a safe…

Luckily your anecdata is not backed up by existing industry data.
