When I heard about the New Orleans mother day parade shooting I thought why hasn’t it got mass media coverage? But unfortunately ”Black on Black” violence does not get the same coverage as a white person killing a bunch of white people. There’s a huge double standard in the media.

I’m perpetually disappointed in the way white America holds no value for the lives of POC.

sad-teeth:

So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.

Tell me again how men see us as whole and complete human beings?

Horrible ~~hilarious~~ accidental pun in my history exam;

“Henry VIII’s marriage to Catherine Howard was cut short in February 1542”

I am a terrible person

No you’re not a bad person, that’s nothing worth losing your head over.

It was a decent enough pun, but a lack-luster execution.

Nice job, guys. I’m laughing my head off.

every time I see someone post the dictionary definition of sexism as if it means anything, I die a little more on the inside.

Same with the dictionary definition of racism.

^truth. This too

Y’all my own flesh and blood did this.

And I wept.

June, 1964. Black children integrate the swimming pool of the Monson Motel. To force them out, the owner pours acid into the water.

And white folk wonder why

My mom was born in ‘64, kay? So, what that means is… THIS SHIT WASN’T THAT LONG AGO AND Y’ALL NEED TO STOP ACTING LIKE THE SHIT WE TALK ABOUT IS ARCHAIC AND OLD-HAT.

my mom was still in trinidad when this happened but seriously it could’ve happened to either my aunt or uncle who were 12 and 15/16 respectively

I think photos like this need to exist, not because I like the subject matter, but because it helps immortalize events that many people want to forget ever happened (and work pretty hard to make it so). It makes us face it. I’ve seen this picture before, but don’t know all the details. I hope the children in this photo were okay.

I’m always going to reblog photos like this. People are always like “Oh just get over it already”. Well, no.

No.

Reblogging this picture AGAIN. Because NEVER FORGET.

Really sorry if this is upsetting to anyone, but *this* is why white people complaining about “reverse racism” is not okay. The legacy of slavery and Jim Crow laws has not faded.

If you’re white and say you’ve experienced racism, you’re robbing that word of all its meaning and making it useless. So congrats.

I had to do this once with Privateer II: The Darkening. It gained a bit when he said “I bet you didn’t play it through, I bet somebody just told you how…” and I was able to smile gently and say “God, possibly, since I wrote the game.” And plainly the Deity was with me that day, as I happened to be carrying docs from my UK agent (who’d done the deal) that showed not only that I was the writer, but the five-figure sum I had been paid. …It was a happy day for me. Not so much for him. I’d never had a referent for the word “slink” for a full grown male before. As in “slink away in utter dejection.” I smiled for at least three days without stopping. And am smiling now… I had completely forgotten about this.

(ETA: you have to understand that I felt, and still feel, very possessive about that game. It wasn’t my first [Star Trek: The Kobayashi Alternative was] but it was the first time I worked with a really big team [all of whom I liked] and it gave me the opportunity to write for the most amazing cast: Clive Owen, David Warner, John Hurt, Brian Blessed, many other lovely people. [Try getting them all in a movie now.] For this work, though, I got to suffer the pains of Hell in that I spent nearly six weeks [in a couple of tranches] away from Peter, immured near EA UK in a Holiday Inn in Slough. [“OH LOVELY BOMBS COME FALL ON SLOUGH”, etc.] It was fun and happy work, but I missed Peter like oxygen. And then — remembering the pains that work cost me — to have some snotnosed baby-boy gamer in a shiny suit and a cheap tie come try to tell me that I did not understand the game structure that I can still remember whiteboarding for Erin Roberts and the rest of the team…? I. Think. Not.)

It’s such a relief when a male tells me what and who I shouldn’t do in my bed.

He’s a fucking Pastor, it’s his freaking religion not to sleep with people when unbetrothed. He’s not antagonizing or commanding women, he’s spreading his beliefs in a social way. Calm down you sensitive blowhard.

A) I can criticize one of the more tired aspects of Christianity. And lawd jesus is it tired.

B) He didn’t say “Dear flock/ congregation/people of my faith…” he said “Dear Sisters”. Soooo just the women. Not the men. Just women.

So pls bb,

Still wondering why the Boston/MIT situation didn’t merit reckless, blind drone strikes for the sake of security, freedom, etc. Maybe because innocent civilians would’ve been blown to pieces in the process. American lives are precious, aren’t they.

A 7.8 magnitude earthquake hit Iran, leaving dozens dead, within 24 hours of the Boston marathon bombing. What is the connection? Well, there isn’t one…

…that is, unless you’re a big asshole:

(The person above deleted their account. But that won’t stop me from finding her shitty tweets and posting them here.)

Yeah, that was some “deep thinking.”

Iranians and Pakistanis were killed in that earthquake, and this is all you could’ve come up with. Fascinating.
