listen y'all
janedoe225:
we don’t live in a vacuum. our ideas, our lexicon, and our beliefs are shaped by outside forces like society, culture, environment, and religion. fields like sociology, anthropology prove that.
words matter , ok? you said something heterosexist because your parents, the media, and your religion told you; you weren’t born a bigot. forces like that reflect and shape your ideas. when...

Honestly, that's why I fight so hard about words...
genderbitch:
Most of the time it doesn’t offend me. I don’t take a lot of things personally. Conflict freaks me out more than words offend me, so if it was about offense, I’d never talk about words cuz everyone seems to wanna fight me on it.
No, words have a real and serious effect on how we think and how we think has a real and serious effect on how we act. I have literally watched the flow of...

Dear people rioting in Egypt right now,

hedwigthefeminist:
I hope as many of you possible today remain safe. I admire your courage to fight for the freedoms you deserve. So many of us are too afraid to fight for that, and so many of you are fighting for that today. I wish I could do something to help you directly, but as of today I will keep you in my mind and heart, stay updated on your struggle, and hope for your...

By Parvez Sharma
January 28, 2011
Cairo is burning. So is Egypt. Twitter is exploding. Everyone seems to have an opinion—many who do have never even been to Egypt but feel a strong sense of solidarity with the most remarkable revolution in a generation, perhaps. A revolution which importantly is not really caused by Twitter or by Facebook—as much as the self...

DON'T INCLUDE THE T UNLESS YOU ARE ACTUALLY...
contrajackson:
“T” is not an orientation. “T” has nothing at all to do with the “L,” the “G” or the “B.”
Being an ally of and an advocate for LGB rights is not the same thing as being a trans* ally. Not even close. Barely in the same universe.
This never fails to piss me off.
Some people think adding the T makes them more inclusive or some shit. Yeah, that’s not how it works.

On The Argument That Trans Women Are Triggering

This would be behind a cut - if I could make tumblr’s ‘cut’ button work reliably without deleting half the post forever. If anyone knows how to do these in html, please reply and let me know - this is driving me to distraction!

Call your representatives today
rabbleprochoice:
Tell them that ALL rape is forcible. If you have a daughter, a sister, a mother, an aunt, a girlfriend, please call your representatives to remind them just WHAT this redefinition of rape will mean for them. Saying “no” will not be enough, under this new redefinition, to give them BASIC CARE to help pay for their abortions.
Do some research on your representatives and appeal...

Making "fetch" happen
rosalarian:
I hear a lot of grammatically-inclined people constantly bemoaning the use of singular “they”. Though there are many grammar scholars who say that singular “they” is a legitimate use of the word, and has been used in such a way throughout the history of the language and by many respected writers, most of the people debating grammar on the internet aren’t grammar scholars and instead...

A group of middle-class Mexican women on pink motorcycles is handing out food and medicine to the poor in one of the world’s deadliest cities to both protest and allay the widespread deprivation it says is fueling the violence. Braving drug gang turf wars in Ciudad Juarez that have killed some 6,700 people since 2008, including hundreds of...

There is so much fail in this, I can’t even.

For anyone with privacy concerns.
calixti:
There’s a website you need to know about. It’s called spokeo.com and functions as a search database. It probably has your name, address, and phone number at the very least, and possibly your photos, relationship status, hobbies, estimated income, and other information about you. You can remove yourself from their directory, but it can be a little tricky so I’ve put together this...

– P!nk (via -dylan)
I don’t know why but this rubs me off in all the wrong ways. I can’t quite put my finger on it… maybe that it’s not the same underlying problem what leads people to self-injure and/or take their own lives? You can’t just group all self-injurers and...
