It may not be your job and you may not like it, but the only way forward is through helping each other. Even if that means having to do the shitty job of educating oblivious white people. When you’re a white person living in a culture that’s predominantly white I think there isn’t much use in hoping people will figure…

I am a huge slut and YES this is the season for it. Gonna trust this playlist to increase my success rate. Signed, an unrepentant man whore (why does it need “man” in there? I revel in being a white, male, straight slut. A whore, whatever. Come to think of it, it’s really easy to be me)

The only thing less necessary than twitter threads would be a blogger pretending to be annoyed by them so she can imply there is some sort of feminist point to be made about it - without actually making it.

It’s short for Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie, aka the Dutch name :)

I guess Grotius’ God didn’t care much for peasants. Our Dutch philosopher did write up the first legal framework for defining international waters though... on behalf of the VOC who needed an argument for why robbing a Portugese ship carrying insane amounts of gold wasn’t illegal. The VOC as you know was the first…

Oh, I’m sorry if it seemed like I implied you didn’t get it, that wasn’t my intent. I just thought a historical aside might be interesting. I was blown away to learn that eminent domain is still a thing.

frozenincarbonite’s explanation is very interesting if you look at this definition of land ownership in a historical context. This is contracted and an extremely rough outline of how the concept of eminent domain first got started:

Actually, this is Obama’s America. Do you think he gives two shits about anyone but his donors?

Did he pass the purity test? Also, good on him for shitting on MDE. I used to think they were being satirical, but turns out they’re alt-right, white nationalist, misogynist, homophobic, anti-semetic shitbags.

Bad at sexting, just like guys are.

So are most women, unfortunately :(

Thanks! Geoblocking is infuriating. And what a great response that was, this guy’s on fire. And he’s really fucking funny.

Artists should absolutely not be given free pass. Art is either appreciated or not, but is inherently subject to judgment, one way or the other. If you make bad art, you get called out on it.

“white people are afforded the range of motion to adopt black hairstyles such as dreads and rows without the punishment that black women get for wearing natural or protective hairstyles in society, but most especially in the workplace.”

Cooper is a joke like the rest of CNN, but I’ll give him credit for this coverage.

No, you just seemed to imply it. And I (also) said no side was blameless. Ah well.

He is right to make the comparison. However, mass deportations are already happening under the current administration. The scary part is that Obama has already deported over 2,5 million people already, and not a lot of people seem to know and/or care. It’s without the authoritarian, racist rhetoric, but much good that…

I don’t understand this mentality. Hillary clinton supporters have gotten me pretty riled up at times, but then I remember that this is the internet and that the most negative posts are the ones that generate more replies, thus get more attention and presents a seemingly polarized field with mouth breathers on both…

You really think Hillary supporters haven’t been trashing Bernie since day one? I mean, if all you read is her fb page, I can see how you might live under that assumption but it goes both ways. On an interesting side note, Hillary is the only Democratic candidate who’s spent 1 million $ on online trolls to harass…

Whether out of spite or not (obviously not, in my opinion), it’s important that he continues to hammer it home until the convention. His voters want to see some of the campaign’s progressive policies being part of the general election platform. I don’t think Hillary or the DNC are going to give them an inch however,…
