Because every depiction of white people reflects back on all of you.

Probably not bomb testing, that appears to be some sort of small-scale sewage and water purification plant. Those round green spots appear to be underground solid waste separation tanks. Buried to keep the smell of sewage processing from getting out or perhaps to clean up byproducts of bomb related chemicals without…

This place is a Google Maps wet dream of interesting stuff.

Great big yard with a several feet tall stockade full of blow-ed up shit. And solar panels because we care about the future.

Maybe the fact that it sounds like he followed notes from Central Casting?

This just goes to show that allyship is something you do, not something you are. No amount of parading around, declaring yourself to be a good male feminist (or a good straight queer ally, or a good white anti-racist ally) actually makes you one.

"He is soft-spoken, gentle, and supportive—when he isn't being abusive. He loves the language of feelings, openly sharing his insecurities, his fears, and his emotional injuries. He hugs other men. He may speak out about the absurdity of war or the need for men to get in touch with their feminine side. Perhaps he…

Yes, the part about listening more than they talk is the most important. I have encountered countless male 'feminists' who think that because they're feminists, they can go ahead and act as if they know more about feminism and women's experience than women do.

Well, as for the dimmest of silver linings, at least this community seems supportive of and receptive to victims' voices. Unlike, say, alt-lit:

I have never experienced assault at the hands of a male feminist, but I have experienced Macktivism for sure. I only trust men who listen more than they talk about feminism (in a conversation with women), who are feminist in actions but not necessarily name. I look for nuances in conversation, reactions to real world…

Even the women of Fox News are pissed.

I think that's fine.

I was raised in an atheist household (I'm 25 now), and I'm always surprised at how uncommon it is. I know lots of atheists, but all of them came to their atheism as teenagers or adults. I don't know anyone else with atheist parents.

"An officer asked Geer to step out of the car. "He got out and they arrested him for drunk in public," says Stewart. "He learned he could have stayed in his car and he never would have been arrested."

It's not up to the individual school districts, which are subject to state laws. A school district cannot legally deny a child entrance into public school if the family meets the requirements in state law. Currently the only two states that require vaccination for children entering kindergarten (barring a medical…

im so upset right now

"Endangering:" is the key word there. This is about reckless endangerment of everyone's children, not just one's own. I find it really hard to believe that they're sincerely motivated by concern for their children as opposed to parenting as a selfish extension of one's own politics;

My twins are on the autism spectrum. They are verbal and high functioning so they don't have a lot of the "bad" traits people associate with autism. Still, I get so pissed when people say they don't want vaccines because "Autism!" because they rather risk their kids dying painful deaths then have kids like mine.

I have to say (as someone on the autism spectrum).
