I wanna hug him. This was beautiful.

This is a call out post for Justin Bieber. Yall have let him get away with so much like disrespecting other cultures and being rude, yet you stay mad at the fact that Demi Lovato doesn’t want her face to be a meme and that Ariana licked a donut. And I can’t help but think that this has 100% to do with the fact that he’s a stereotypically attractive white male.

So here are the receipts (and they’re all from this past year):

Defended Kylie Jenner on cultural appropriation, claiming “saying she’s being racist because she wants her hair in braids is ridiculous”.

Later appropriated corn rows himself, posted it on Instagram to his 54.9 million followers and said he looked “like an absolute douche bag”

Walked off stage in Norway because the floor was wet and fans were touching the rag he was wiping the floor with

Walked out of a radio interview in Spain

Stormed out of a restaurant in France, knocking over a chair and rudely walking past the waiter

Was asked to leave Mayan ruins in Mexico because he was climbing on sacred grounds

Stopped his performance to tell his fans to clap on beat

Posted on Instagram a series of photos with his ex-girlfriend titled “just a throwback” after she was seen with another guy. This is highly creepy and manipulative behavior.

Admitted he cheated on his ex-girlfriend, yet continuously talked about her during his press tour, claiming he was still in love with her and would like get back together. She’s claimed she is “beyond done with him”.

Model Bailey Scarlett claimed she was drugged at his party and claimed he was “ the most uninspiring person" she met in her life.

And these are all very recent, some from this month even. Yall know there would be lot more if I started digging thru the archives of his distasteful behavior… and yet there’s been no backlash. None of this shit is ever talked about. Y’all gloss over his temper tantrums with humor and ignore all the other stuff idk why but frankly I’m not here for him.

I’m just done. Absolutely fucking done. The police executed another Black man tonight in Minnesota, as he attempted to comply with orders to produce an ID. He told officers that he had both a gun and conceal carry permit, but that he was reaching solely for his wallet. 

Philando Castile had a clean record according to his girlfriend, and worked in the public school system. He was murdered by police as his 4-year old daughter sat in the back seat. His courageous girlfriend did something I don’t have words for–she filmed the scene as Phil Castile bled out, while the pig did nothing to save the man he just shot point blank. The video streamed live on Facebook, but has since been taken down. It is still circulating on social media, however I WOULD NOT RECOMMEND watching it. It’s very graphic and triggering.

We didn’t even get a full 24-hours to mourn Alton Sterling before the murderous thugs stole another life. It’s beyond Black Lives Matter now. We need a revolution, we need liberation, by any means necessary. #farfromover

Britain historically has low youth voter turnout and yesterday that had serious consequences.

Despite polling that 75% of 18 to 24 year olds wanted Britain to remain in the EU, 52% of voters decided that Britain should leave.

Attention Parents/Aunts/Uncles/Anyone buying a gift for a kid:

After Finding Dory there will be a lot of kids who want clownfish/blue tangs/ other fish from the movie.

Salt water fish are expensive and difficult to care for. Some like clown fish can be bred in captivity, but some like the blue tang cannot be meaning that they need to be kidnapped from the ocean. Additionally, blue tangs can get VERY BIG.

Target has these new toys that are water activated, so they’ll swim around in a bowl just like fish. They come as dory, nemo, and marlin. They make a fantastic alternative to real fish.

TL;DR Dont buy kids real saltwater fish after Finding Dory, get them these toys from Target instead

If Aphrodite had stomach rolls then so can I

[bee-girlfriends]

This is veryveryvery important. My wife was feeling down about herself the other night and asked me “why do I look like this?” And I immediately brought up a photo I had taken of a sculpture of Aphrodite I had taken at the Chicago MOMA. I said, “look at this picture. What does she look like?” And my wife very shyly answered “Me…” (Literally her body is IDENTICAL to the sculpture) so I replied “that is the Goddess Aphrodite. THAT is why your body looks like this.”

a new law is about to be passed in Saudi Arabia that will allow the government to execute people for coming out or being openly gay online.

ignoring the fact that this is literally something out of some kind of dystopian novel, in the interests of safety i’ve emptied out my face tag and may temporarily deactivate or password protect this blog.

please reblog this and get the word out, and if you pray, please pray for me and my fellow Saudi LGBTQ+/MOGAI family.

i dont mean to alarm you but the gender binary is not real and everything you’ve been taught about what girls and boys are supposed to do/not supposed to do is a huge lie

Not only should you educate yourself but use this for good. Look around you and help others who don’t have this privilege. Hiring, donating, community service, etc.

[racebending]

After this post went viral, the original artist had to delete their tumblr because they were inundated with death threats.

There were people more offended by this comic than offended by the existence of racial disparities—to the point where they threatened this artist’s life.

[bbybellhooks]

What the actual fuck? White people REALLY hate hearing the truth. And for a White female to tell it, omg… I’m glad she acknowledged this. I’m glad that she posted this. I’m glad that this went viral. Educate yourself and see why White Privilege is destructive.

WHERE IS THIS FROM ?

[basicallyfrench]

It’s from “la source des femmes”

[the-goddamazon-deactivingsoon-d]

IT’S TRUE.

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE QU’RAN THAT SAYS WOMEN’S SOLE PURPOSE IS FOR OBEYING AND PROCREATING.

We are allowed to inherit and own property and businesses, and we are allowed to CHOOSE our husbands instead of having them foisted upon us in arranged marriages. WE ARE ALSO ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE IN COMBAT.

I’ve read the Qu’ran COVER TO COVER and there’s nothing God says about women being LESS than men. In fact, God IMPLORES men to treat women as equals. Probably because God knew men have a tendency to foul things up and has to remind them that WOMEN ARE ALSO PRECIOUS CREATIONS OF HIS DIVINE WILL.

-huffs and puffs-

Sorry. I was in my feelings. But this touches my nerves a lot when people misinterpret Islam as some misogynistic religion. Nothing could be further from the truth.

[wildorcaaviation]

Niiiiiice…..I love learning. This needs to be seen.

[teal-deer]

Tbh by the Koran as I understand it Islam is better about women than the Bible, & has a strong emphasis on education

After all, the Prophet’s first teacher was a woman who owned her own business, iirc.

[laterdates-deactivated20160215]

Passing on because I know little about Islam.

[thesweetfandomlife]

This is all true just thought I would share this with my followers that don’t know much about Islam. Don’t learn things about Islam from the media, learn things from people who live in that world every single day
