this is stupid. what? just because you’re black you’re going to be mistaken as a worker? Excuse me, I may not be white but my skin sure is and people ask me if i’m an associate of any store I’m in. This honestly has nothing to do with race and if you turn everything into a race issue you’re going to lead a...

Hey, if anyone is after ANOTHER super-special, incredibly rare, wildly marginalised, TOTALLY MISUNDERSTOOD “identity on the inside” to collect, my friends and I have come up with GLAMOURKIN.
You may be sitting at home in a stained tracksuit with unbrushed hair and on a bare mattress but ON THE INSIDE you’re wearing a Liberace rhinestoned jumpsuit with a towering...

daniellemertina replied to your post: Why would you say that you’re uncomfortable with folks who ID as black feminist on here?
I’m thinking of doing my next serious undergrad research venture on the limitations of black fem bc of its almost hyped up connection to black men. (which im guilty of myself)
That’ll be an interesting topic.
I think there’s been a sort of… yea, you’re...
ok gonna stop using celebrities as examples of how society works from now on. patterns in pop culture yeah, but how we perceive celebrities, no. WHO IS WITH ME?

cool. obviously I’m a little bit mean: ‘BLACK FEMINISMS FOR BLACK WOMEN!’, lol. Oh yeah and I’m not down with it over where I am; I don’t even believe in interracial coalition work at the moment—although I can support what other WOC/POC groups do.
How do you all see Black feminism? xx
Me personally, or...

transfats are those gross things in food that make you die quicker or something. so the name is unfortunate. i mean a lot of us eat them…but yeah i think it’s kinda funny.

also, yeah, i was angry at you and other people for being so oppressive about transabled and transethnic identities. i am angry at a lot of people, at the general ~consensus~ as it seems to be, to have this instant reaction of oppressive revulsion and anger. i don’t think it’s right that this is…

no, what will happen is I will kick him in the bits because I’ve yet to meet one ‘male feminist’ who wasn’t a manipulative misogynist wanker. this quote rly upsets me, because it’s bullshit; leaving aside whether men can call themselves feminists (they could if...

Yeah, that’s a common thought: hitting kids makes them respect you. But I disagree. Ask me how much respect I have today for the man who raised me with blows. (I don’t talk to him anymore, nor care much about that, so maybe that gives you an idea.)
Hitting kids might make them shut up; it might make them toe the line. But respect? No.
Or maybe it is just that the word means different...

Quinn got into Yale. Rory Gilmore starts to think that she wasted all of her years studying so hard, doing extracurricular school activities, going to a private school (her granparentes paid that school because they were rich… Lorelai and Rory didn’t have all of that money) when she could just go in a public Ohio school, spent 4 years of her life being a cheerleader and out of blue,...

all this keep calm and carry on shit…and i give zero fucks…i say that shit too…but i do give a fuck! i do! (not about everything and everyone and i let others’ shit be their shit and strive to look at my own behaviour)…
but yeah is this called sincerity or something?

“once, someone shared a wise sentiment with me: they’re not always out to get you, they just don’t care. “of course, the result might be similar or the same, but that perspective cuts through a lot of paranoia and fear. in a world full of ever-present boogeypeople, you can scare yourself right into apathy or inaction if you aren’t careful…”

(Preface: This is relevant to so many convos around marginalizations, I just happen to be talking about a racism situation right now. I’d appreciate it if we could talk about race right now, in this conversation. I’m acknowledging that this crosses various marginalizations, so you don’t have to reblog and tell me how this is “just like” something else. Let’s talk about race...
The kind of individualist responses that permeate a lot of subjects:
like nezua wrote something about what being hit as a child does, and people are responding BUT I NEED TO BE ABLE TO DEFINE WHAT HITTING DID FOR ME.
I’m not sure why your interpretation needs to be validated by every single person you meet online when how you define your experience is continually reinforced by the status...

being hit as a child teaches you many things, i’d guess. mostly, it teaches you that might makes right. and as a child, you will have no argument against that. and so it is likely that you will learn it well.
being hit as a child may teach other things. but below and beyond intellect and language, it teaches you rage. because as a child, in the...

‘I’m not a woman and I am a womanist but personal experience is only relevant when talking about personal experience even though when I was arguing about a social, familial and community issue I was bringing up my personal experiences.’
I want Black people who are not Black women and who claim to be sticking up for us—to shut the fuck up and listen to us when our analyses of our experiences diverge from your crap party line. Like I am sick of this narcissistic ‘ooooh my experiences mirror the world’ crap that is supposed to count for some sort of critical analysis when in reality, the analysis is usually...

Rudd has completely seized the initiative here and played an incredibly smart hand. It’s obvious from comments made in the media earlier today that Gillard was going to announce a leadership showdown on Tuesday and Rudd had absolutely no chance.
By resigning and then making Gillard look like she was trying to oust him/stab him in the back a second time, Rudd has improved...
