ATTENTION ALL GIRLS: Being a ride or die means staying by a man’s side whether he has $500 or $5. Not when he cheats 10 times and you stay.
“Ride or Die” also means that if he ever hits you, he dies, and you call your bff for a ride.
Loyalty through hardship is one thing, loyalty through cruelty is another.

The right wants to be victims so fucking bad
“Straight white conservative men are afraid they might have to keep their bigotry to themselves for 10 seconds. Literally everyone else is afraid that straight white conservative men will kill them.”
A strange and unsettling thought: There is a room full of old white dudes, nearly 1000 miles away, who have no idea that I personally exist, yet are trying to pass laws in order to control my body.
These are the same old white dudes who could give a flying fuck what happens to the child that I might be forced to have as a result of their laws.

There can be no great triumph over racism without addressing capitalism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, the environment that we live in and the food that we consume. We have to recognize all of these connections.

New Zealand Same-sex Defacto Couples Secure the Right to Adopt
“In a groundbreaking adoption case, an Auckland judge has granted all same-sex couples, whether de facto or married, eligibility to be granted joint adoption orders. Judge IA McHardy has ruled that failure to grant joint adoption to a same-sex de facto couple would be in breach of the Bill of Rights Act, granting all couples, same-sex or heterosexual, the right to apply for joint adoption. Stewart Dalley, lawyer for Ryken and Associates, successfully argued the case for same-sex de facto couples to be able to be granted joint adoption orders on 30 October, securing the right for he and his partner to jointly adopt their two children and in doing so, the right for all same-sex couples in New Zealand. The couple received the written orders on 18 December. Same-sex married couples were granted the right to adopt in August 2013, with the passing of the Marriage Amendment Act however the current adoption act has prevented, until now, the same right to be afforded to same-sex de facto couples. Previous to this groundbreaking case, if a de facto same-sex couple were wishing to adopt only one partner would be able to do this as an individual, the other partner would then have had to apply to become a guardian of the child but could not be an adoptive parent.”

Congratulations to Steward Dalley on the courtroom win, and to the entire New Zealand LGBTQ community!
I won’t have time tomorrow, so Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
Some advice to my fellow creators.
No more boys' or girls' rooms for these kindergarteners.
Kindergarten students at Miraloma Elementary School in San Francisco have access to single-stall or gender-neutral restrooms, and that’s it. No more boys’ or girls’ restrooms. Just restrooms.
The state of California in 2013 introduced laws that permit students to use “facilities consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records.” But Miraloma Elementary appears to be one of the first public schools in the nation to convert all restrooms to gender-neutral facilities.
“Some elementary schools in the district have created one space for a student on the gender spectrum to use. Here at Miraloma, we are the first elementary school in the district to say that’s not good enough,” Bass wrote on the school’s website.
So far only kindergarteners and first graders have access to the gender-neutral restrooms, but the school has plans for all students in all grades to eventually use the facilities.
“The conversion for 4th/5th grades will start during the 2018-2019 school year when this year’s 1st graders enter 4th grade,” principal Sam Bass wrote on the school’s website.
Bass says the gender-neutral facilities are good for all students, not just the gender non-conforming ones.
“Not only do we want all of our students to feel safe, supported, and comfortable to be who they are, we want them to understand systematic equality for everyone,” he wrote on the school’s website.

REPEAT AFTER ME:
PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION ARE LEARNED BEHAVIORS, THEY ARE CULT/URAL.
LOVE IS NATURAL.
maybe it was good that the world forgot every lesson, every good and bad memory, every triumph and failure, all of it dying with each generation.
perhaps this cultural amnesia spared them all.
perhaps if they remembered everything, hope would die instead.
“Happy 95th Birthday to the 19th Amendment! Thanks to all of the women who continue this fight for equality and women’s rights.”
