COSIGN. ALSO GRAB THE BONG.

We are belles who like to jizz. It’s kinda perfect.

The vast majority of non-homeless people are pretty much one unforeseen tragedy, injury, or other life event away from homelessness. Providing cheap or free <gasp> housing should be the first thing municipalities do. Where I live, there’s a large homeless and transient community. We’re known as a place that’s

[If your prof brings up climate change,] you should “make sure to ask, ‘How many climate-related deaths occurred this year?’”

What a lovely “thing,” and so wonderful that you & your sisters got to have a special thing with your grandfather. I remember my older brothers taking me see the Globetrotters when I was little*. It was really fun! The wide-eyed little girl in me is so excited for Mo’ne. I just continue to be in awe of her.

I think it’s less that so many people would argue it’s proof that racism is over and more an issue of the extent to which the general population will be appeased, especially the extent to which it will function to assuage white guilt. The Charleston Massacre is an extreme manifestation of the racism that dwells deeply

Nah, it indicates either a) you didn’t pay attention, or b) your history curriculum was woefully whitewashed. Regardless, you should read more widely now that you’re (maybe) an adult and can choose what to learn. Or did you not learn how to think & read critically either?

And U Oregon in Eugene is working on building its feminist science fiction collection! LeGuin’s papers are already there, but she doesn’t want them fully accessible until after her death.

To elicit this question from you, apparently.

I posted this story on a pissing contest awhile back but it stayed way way waaaaaaay down in the grays. Since it features some classic goofy dad awesomeness, ima leave it here for y’all.

Heartbreakingly beautiful.

I think it’s also a rhetorical strategy. Just as there are feminists who will argue that sexism is a worse ill than racism, there are communists who will argue “it’s not about race, it’s about class.” A lot of marxist white men are especially guilty of this way of thinking that wants to rank oppressions. It’s possible

Seriously. I came down here all ready to talk about Larry King being a creepy condescending weirdo—that old man mixture of paternalism and objectification *shudder*—and instead the first thing I see is a bunch of self-identifying feminists proving her point. I just.

Top: G-pa

Seriously. Pretty much everything’s made me cry today, so when she got to “I’m not the only one / I hope someday you’ll join us,” I just lost it.

I may have posted this vid before, but it deserves another. Gaga & Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland) doing “You and I” as a duet. Both of these women kick ass, know how to use their voices as instruments, and just totally trust each other to inhabit the performance. It makes me happy. And not gonna lie, also a little

For a white 21 year-old American to have the knowledge of racial history this fucker had... yeah, unfortunately it’s far more likely that he’s some KKK, neo-nazi, aryan nation bullshit than just any angry racist entitled white kid.

We white ladies are a bit more passive in our aggression than our white brethren. So very passive, in fact, we just fucking sit here and fail to see that yet another white man evoked us as justification for his massacre.

The fact that people hear “shooting” + “AME church” and don’t immediately think of this country’s rich history of white supremacist violence against black people is a ginormous failure of American education. This is part of ongoing tradition of race-based domestic settler-colonialist practices that amount to fucking
