The Monell Rule is the most important racial justice issue you’ve never heard of.

Just saw another article talking about ”the difficulty of the female orgasm” and I’m just gonna rant:

1) Studies surveying women have literally shown that women are much more likely to have an orgasm masturbating than during sex with a male partner. Studies have also shown lesbian couples report higher rates of orgasm during sex than heterosexual couples. Which is all to say that there is nothing wrong or difficult about the female body; men simply do not understand how to make women orgasm.

2) The majority of formats from which we take in sexuality- TV, porn, romance/erotica books, or that terrible high school sex ed class- do not show clitoral stimulation during sex, despite the fact that this is how the majority of women orgasm. So I’m just gonna say, there may not be genital mutilation in the West but our society strives to ignore the clitoris out of existence. It’s fucking crazy.

3) The whole discourse that the female orgasm is too hard or unobtainable just further justifies men being selfish during sex. See: The famous male-centricness of casual hookup culture. Where men are either legit uneducated or else its insinuated that if you can’t get off in the same way they do, it isn’t worth their time.

I hate society.

You must know… surely, you must know it was all for you. You are too generous to trifle with me. I believe you spoke with my aunt last night, and it has taught me to hope as I’d scarcely allowed myself before. If your feelings are still what they were last April, tell me so at once. My affections and wishes have not changed, but one word from you will silence me forever. If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love–I love–I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on.

But like, why isn’t the nicobar pigeon more popular

Not me but the actual bird. Look at this!!

Look at that bird!!!

He’s got it all!!

I just can’t get enough

More about the bird, they’re pretty big birds. They get to be about a pound for males and a little more for females and they’re over a foot long from head to tail. Their feathers aren’t actually rainbow, they’re iridescent! Not a lot is known about them. They live on very remote islands in southeast Asia. These birds travel between islands looking for food. They don’t mind human contact during the day, but they fly back home to the islands at night. They breed for life in places where people can’t intervene, so it’s hard to learn more about them. Because we have such a hard time keeping track of them, we have no idea really how many birds are out there. They do think though that these absolutely stunning birds are Near Endangered. They’re also the closest living thing to the Dodo!!

Idk what yall may think, but I definitely think these beautiful birds need some more recognition.

Notes from strategy session for raid on Wet’suwet’en nation’s ancestral lands show commanders argued for ‘lethal overwatch’

The RCMP commanders also instructed officers to “use as much violence toward the gate as you want” ahead of the operation to remove a roadblock which had been erected by Wet’suwet’en people

Police established a “media exclusion zone”, blocking reporters from accessing the area. They took care to hide their carbine rifles on the approach to the roadblock because the “optics” of the weapons were “not good”, according to one of the documents.

The documents also show close collaboration between the RCMP and TC Energy: police officers attended company planning sessions and daily “tailgate” meetings, and were privy to CGL’s legal strategy.

The RCMP were prepared to arrest children and grandparents: “No exception, everyone will be arrested in the injunction area,” a document reads. Another makes reference to possible child apprehension by social services – a troubling disclosure given the violent history of residential schooling in Canada and the disproportionate number of Indigenous children currently in the child welfare system

Like most Indigenous people in British Columbia, the Wet’suwet’en have never relinquished their land to the Canadian government by treaty, land sale or surrender.

In a 1997 ruling, the supreme court of Canada determined that aboriginal land ownership had never been given up across the Wet’suwet’en’s 22,000 km sq of territory.

The 2015 Anti-Terrorism Act, Bill C-51, sanctions the criminalization of Indigenous environmentalists by enhancing surveillance and legal powers against any potential interference with Canada’s “critical infrastructure” or “territorial integrity”. Land defenders such as Freda Huson have been identified in RCMP intelligence reports as “aboriginal extremists”.

Lets all take a real good look at the situation here. Because there’s only one group of people with an invading army ready to commit government funded mass murder and child abduction, and it’s not the Indigenous peoples. But oh yeah. We’re always the terrorists right?

Anyway, you can visit this website to see how you can give your support in various ways, including donations for their legal funds, which are crucial to maintain. There is also specifically a GoFundMe for the Gidimt’en camp.

Also a reminder that Justin Trudeau’s Liberal Party of Canada voted with Stephen Harper’s Conservatives to pass Bill C-51 before coming into power.

in addition to the fact that people just have different natural rhythms, a big reason why we can’t seem to go to bed as early as we “should” is that nighttime is, for many of us, our safest and most fulfilling time of day. we don’t have to work, we won’t be contacted by bosses or insurance companies or collection agencies or other suffocating life business… we’re likely only to be contacted by our friends, or by no one at all. night time is release; it’s ours. we can rest or recreate. we can do things we actually want to do. who would choose to cut that short?? just to usher in the next morning when our lives are not our own again? nighttime is precious and nothing could be more normal than the desire to embrace this

So, y’all remember that post that said animals in urban areas slowly became nocturnal to avoid encounters with humans? Apparently that includes humans.
