“All the hate Tiffany gets? She deserves it. She’s selfish and annoying, and she doesn’t deserve not even a tiny bit of what she gets. She’s so hated for a reason, after all. ‘Cause she’s full of crap. And she’s loved only because she’s “pretty”, to be honest.”

I’m not interested in dedicating my feminist effort to making masculinity more comfortable for men, I could not care less; they created it, they uphold it, so they fix it. I’m not gonna wade through their toxic waste to try to awaken some core of softness and compassion in men. If men are supposedly as good at analysis and reflection as they like to claim then they can fix their own shit. Demanding that women use up our effort to do it for them in the name of feminism - a women’s movement - is just another facet of the same masculinity they supposedly disapprove of.

12,000-Year-Old Lion Cubs Discovered Perfectly Preserved Below The Ice

The ancient predators, named Uyan and Dina, were dug up from below the Siberian ice complete with whiskers still bristling, soft tissue and all their fur. The discovery was made following a sudden rise and fall in the level of the Uyandina River that flowed through the site where they were found.

The pair are believed to have only been two weeks old when they perished beneath a landslide that sealed off their escape to level ground. The airtight seal over the cave and the icy permafrost helped to protect the cubs from decay and degradation all this time. (Source)

before you ever even consider having a child you should be ready to handle a disabled child, you should be ready to handle twins, you should be ready to handle a gay child or a trans child

because if you’re not ready for your child to be anything other than one straight, cis, able bodied and able minded child, you’re going to end up neglecting and abusing somebody for years to come

and even if your child is all that, you might have a feminine boy or a masculine girl on your hands. so be fucking ready for your child to be a human being and not YOUR PRODUCT or PROPERTY or CREATION

fucking sort your shit out, i am so tired of shitty parental sob stories about how “hard” it is to “raise” (read: beat the divergency out of) an autistic child or whatever. do you know what’s harder? being the divergent child of parents who you’ve already let down by virtue of existing in a way they didn’t ask for. putting up with years of neglect and abuse because you’re just not good enough for them, you weren’t what they were planning for or expecting.

I found this parenting book for people whose kids have adhd that my mom bought when I was a kid and the whole first chapter was about “coping with the fact you didn’t get your dream child” and I felt devastated

Like it really messed me up

[isaacsapphire]

Um, I understand that this sucks from the kid end (and I’ve been living the kid end), but from the potential parent end, this ends up coming off as kinda… idk, classist and abelist?

Because it’s flat out saying that people who cannot afford for handle the most disabled of children are morally wrong to have children, which puts non-super-wealthy people who can personally handle non-disabled and even somewhat disabled, but not totally, will need round the clock care for the rest of their life that will cost a ton level disabled in the position of being immoral for ever having children.

[earthboundricochet]

It’s not about money I believe, as nothing in the above posts mentions money. It’s about responsibility. 

If anything but a cis, straight, mentally and physically abled child sounds like a huge burden to you and you’ll feel like they owe you just for granting them the grace of being decent to them, you shouldn’t have fucking children. Not even adopted ones. 

Having children isn’t a right, it’s an optional duty. 

[more-equal]

Except OP didn’t mention responsibility, but whether you’re able to ‘handle’ a kid who has disability or whatever. Money and time do play into that.

That’s absolutely not to say that kids should feel that they are a burden on their parents, or that they’re not a ‘dream child.’ That’s not okay at all. But it does mean that parents of disabled kids will have more on their shoulders that they may not have expected, and they do have to cope with that. They will face challenges financially and emotionally and physically. If you’re kid needs a wheel-chair, you need to alter your house or move to one that is accessible for them.  If your kid has autism, one parent may have to quit work to provide them proper care, which has emotional and financial consequences; if you wind up being a single parent, you may struggle to find care for your kid while you work. You may love your kid completely, and accept them unconditionally, but you’re going to have challenges that you may not be prepared for, even if you thought you were.

I agree with OP that these kids shouldn’t be forced to be anything they’re not, that they should be loved unconditionally and supported whole-heartedly, and if that’s all OP is referring to and I’m just reading more into this than intended, great. But I do think it’s important to remember that parents have to cope, and talking about that isn’t inherently bad. It’s just that the coping needs to be addressed as coping with the financial, emotional, and physical challenges. It shouldn’t be looked at as coping with your kid.

[earthboundricochet]

Free to consider me a terrible classist asshole, but to a certain degree if you cannot financially afford to have a child, you shouldn’t. 

Ideally, the state should help prevent that from happening. We do not live in an ideal world.

Hell, more people seem to be able to handle the concept that you don’t adopt a dog if you can’t afford for vet care etc more easily than the concept that you don’t have a child if you can’t afford a certain degree of care. I seriously find it baffling. 

Doesn’t have to be THE MOST EXPENSIVE care, not saying that, but there should be a certain minimum margin of safety. Raising a child is more than just feeding and clothing them and putting a roof over their head. That’s less than the bare minimum.

And I’m sorry but the fact that one “really really wants children” isn’t gonna prevent said children from suffering for lack of medical/psychological/emotional support if one isn’t able to handle them. 

We are talking about a tiny human being that is COMPLETELY DEPENDANT on their parents, and whose mental and physical development is incredibly vulnerable in the first 16 years of life. Not a commodity, not a necessity, but an indipendent vulnerable life that one is responsible for, for at least 18 years (in this economy? More like 20+ …). 

And if we wanna talk about the utilitarianist side of it, bad childhoods don’t even just affect that single individual. Very few people who commit deviant acts had idilliac childhoods. Not everyone who has a shit childhood goes on to become a danger for others, but it does increase the risk greatly. 

So technically, not only is bad parenting harmful to the individual, it is harmful to the community.

No one can look into the eye of someone who’s suffered abuse, rape, or any form of sexual harassment and say “I’m really sorry that happened to you. But as long as I give my partner consent and we come up with a safe word, everything that’s happened to you turns me on.”

So, ABCNews decided to do a whole story on this. 

Now, I used to live in the Virgin Islands. When it’s hurricane season, the mainstream doesn’t talk to the locals. They always ask the people who are visiting. And they always say something along the lines of it being an “inconvenience” and never considered “hey, what about the locals? Our homes are not going to get hit, their homes are!” 

They always playing this “whining angle” while the locals are like “oh, it’s just part of nature. We just need the correct information to prepare ourselves and if the worse comes, we need help to rebuild.” 

But no… let’s talk about how your vacation is ruined and not the lives of people who can’t really move out of the way. Let’s talk about how even though you will probably get a refund due to an “act of God”, you are more concerned about not getting your time back. Let’s talk about how you’re inconvenienced for a few days while everyone else will suffer for MONTHS, maybe YEARS afterwards. 

Let’s talk about YOUR feelings about being able to go home to your probably untouched home and when the media goes away, no one wants to hear about our problems with slow government responses and red tape. And not to mention no one will visit an area struck by disaster for weeks to months, losing millions of dollars within the local economy.

No, let’s talk about your feelings, White people.

Here’s the thing that really bothers me about this post and the people getting mad at ABC. It’s not like they’re not tweeting about everything else going on with Patricia. They’ve been posting tweets all day about the storm, including ones about the Mexican citizens who are bracing themselves for the storm. It’s their job to post updates about what’s going on, which they’ve been doing, but they’re also a company that wants to grab the attention of viewers and give them stories they can resonate with.

A couple being forced to evacuate from their honeymoon is, on paper at least, something that could pull at the heartstrings of their readers. They have been releasing information so people can prepare themselves. They were linking to stories that had information on how to prepare hours before this tweet was even posted. But when a lull occurs in the story and they’ve reported everything they can, they look for more information that could lead to interesting and compelling stories, something that is part of their job description.

There are so many more pressing issues to address within the realm of social-media reporting, many of which @whatwhiteswillneverknow does a great job of shedding light on. But yelling at ABC for not doing things they’ve already been doing for hours distracts from the bigger issues at hand. Tumblr is great at raising awareness on things that are too often overlooked but this specific incident is not something that we need to be putting this much energy into.

[whatwhiteswillneverknow]

So young… 

Let’s get a few things straight about this because obviously, you miss the point.

#1: Stop blaming a website. It’s ME who posted this. Not Tumblr. I survived a hurricane in my lifetime… as inI nearly got killed by one. A hurricane is the very reason I’m in the web development business. So next time, address the original poster, not a flipping website.

#2: ABCNews isn’t the type of company that will tweet every story, just a few highlights. In all the tweets about the storm, they covered the STORM. Sure, they covered the people that will be affected by the storm, but that gets mentioned in paragraphs.. We know that they talked about all the aspects of the storm, but this is about what they choose to HIGHLIGHT. 

#3: “Something that could pull at the heartstrings” = less empathy for colored people. Let me tell you something… no one is less human than that couple. But at the end of the day, it still highlighted a White couple… on vacation. Not even a White couple who lives there, but ON VACATION!  

#4: There’s a hidden side to this story: a psychological thing that I noticed every time they decided to interview a tourist who suffered. If something happens to a tourist (especially a White American one) and they cover it as a national story, it flips a“fear trigger”. People are going to FEAR going to a tourist spot even long after the aftermath. As someone who lived in a tourism-driven economy, this is the LAST thing you want. I noticed when it comes to major places like NYC, if a tourist experience is so horrible that it reaches LOCAL news levels, the local government will do everything in its power to make it a publicity stunt so that it reaches national levels. 

Meantime, a tourist gets shot in the Virgin Islands, suddenly, there are news stories that will mention where they got shot, what the police is like, what they are doing to address this crime and how to stay safe in the Virgin Islands when vacationing there. And I have seen tourism levels dropped. So imagined when a hurricane happens. There were times when the hurricane did very little damage, but the tourist were so scared that when that gets on the news, tourism takes a dive. 

So, no… I’m not unjust for being upset that this post gets highlighted by ABC news. If they want to pull at the heartstrings, as you said, then you find local people who LIVES there, not someone on their honeymoon.

PSA: DO NOT DONATE TO THE RED CROSS

DO NOT DONATE TO THE RED CROSS. As an organization they barely lift a finger to actually help people. When we lost pretty much everything to Hurricane Sandy they did absolutely nothing. It was only when officials started looking into the huge amount of donations the Red Cross got and question where they went that they started doing stuff. If you want to read more you can read a bit at the links below. There are a ton more articles out there that tell you why you shouldn’t donate to them.

http://www.prisonplanet.com/articles/september2005/010905redcross.htm This link is from 2005! They’ve been doing this shit for a long time!

An average of 17 cents of every dollar donated goes to “fundraising expenses”. Then there’s vague back-end costs of “management and general expenses” that subtract even more off your donation. They take full advantage of the loopholes of their 501©(3) nonprofit status to pay their CEO and high-ranking paid employees a cushy salary as well.

Charity Navigator is a really good resource for determining if a charity is worth donating to. They rank charities on a bunch of things from transparency to accountability to how much of your donation actually reaches its destination. Charity Navigator has listed here some good organizations to donate to that ACTUALLY help and are already prepared to respond to Hurricane Patricia:

Convoy of Hope, Direct Relief, GlobalGiving, Heart to Heart International, International Medical Corps, MAP International, Medical Teams International, and Water Missions Hospital.

These are all rated much higher than the Red Cross. Direct Relief is highest rated. It has a grade of over 99 while the Red Cross has a grade of just under 81. Heart To Heart International and MAP International each have a grade of over 97.

I think it’s clear that these charities are all doing a lot better with your money than the Red Cross.
