Watch: Poet Rachel Wiley continues “And ain’t that just like white feminism, always …”

the actors who continue to work with woody allen despite what he’s done are the very reason he is still successful in hollywood. the ‘separating the art from the artist’ is bullshit, and all of them know it. nobody actually believes ‘its a personal family matter’ or ‘it’s only alleged, it hasn’t been proven.’ everyone knows what he is. they deny it for the sake of personal and career-oriented ambitions. they deny it for the sake of getting to say “i was in a woody allen movie.”

“why hasn’t woody allen died yet” he could very easily die if everyone can get over themselves and stop working with him. im looking at kristen stewart, jesse eisenberg, alec baldwin, blake lively, cate blanchett, steve carrell, owen wilson, rachel mcadams, marion cotillard… the list goes on.

the reason he is still getting attention is because he is still getting A list celebrities to be in his movies. and some of them are really fantastic, well known actors, like blanchett and cotillard…. don’t think for a second people are going to hesitate overlooking his “alleged” crimes to see their performances. and so it goes on- actors overlook and viewers overlook and here we are, years later, still debating whether or not a literal child sex offender’s movies are problematic.

he is a child sex offender. stop making excuses for yourselves. if well known actors stop working with him, he will die. his movies might still get made, because he has the money, but they wont nearly be talked about as much if he doesnt have the people. and i doubt he would continue his work if he wasn’t getting any recognition for it. these people are hiding behind the idea that “nothing could possibly bring him down because of his legacy and talent, so me working/not working with him won’t change that.” This selfishness & convenient ignorance is why he is still around. he is still alive because you’re still making movies with him. he needs you. you have the power to kill his career, and you wont. it’s disgusting and i wont turn a blind eye to it or pretend that his ‘talent’ is the only reason he is still in the business. i hold all of these people plus plenty others accountable as to why he hasn’t suffered any consequences career wise for what he is and has done.

mocking triggers for being "too silly" is a seriously ignorant dick move

Some things that I associate with my abuser:

- Sagittarius - Desperate Housewives - Diet Coke - Ani DiFranco

So I have a valid reason to be triggered by any and all of these things because these are things that specifically remind me of my abuser and therefore have the ability to trigger PTSD and anxiety.

And anyone that would mock those triggers as not being serious enough to be valid are just pretending to understand some shit that they very clearly don’t.

Your triggers are valid. Your feelings are valid. Fuck anti-sjws forever.

i remember seeing a gifset of calhoun from wreck it ralph and her “dynamite gal” trigger and there were people in the reblogs like “see, this is how a trigger works. not your stupid made up triggers for like dogs and shit” but like if calhoun was a blogger asking you to tag the phrase “dynamite gal” youd laugh in her face because its such a stupid trivial thing but u kno. because they actually get to see what it was that traumatized her and how that phrase is associated with it on screen but most trauma survivors dont want to recount their entire tragic story every time they try to explain to someone why something is a trigger to them so they just assume that theyre making it up

Daily Show correspondent Hasan Minhaj, who is Muslim, sat down with Sikh American and artist Waris Ahluwalia, to talk about the discrimination he faces just because he “looks Muslim.” Ahluwalia isn’t shaken though: “That’s why I wear the turban.”

[egyptiann]

Anyway I have so much respect for the Sikh community and Sikhs who wear turbans in particular. Every time I pass by a Sikh person in a turban as a Muslim woman in hijab, I feel a connection and sense of solidarity.

Michelle Wolf discusses the end of New York’s controversial tax on tampons and the taboo surrounding periods and the word “vagina.”

My hijab allows me to limit what parts of my body people can see; it’s a statement of my freedom. My body is not for anyone’s consumption, and using my hijab I can enforce that. Please do not tell me my hijab limits my freedom.

On a fossil-hunting trip with her family, five-year-old Daisy Morris found the remains of a previously undiscovered dinosaur, which is now named Vertidraco daisymorrisae. The new dino is not only a previously unknown species, but an unknown genus, making Daisy’s find a really big deal. It’s a pterosaur — a winged flying dino — about the size of a crow, which lived 115 million years ago. 

[wolvensnothere]

Hell. Yes. You Go, Daisy Morris.

Your child pours all the toothpaste into the sink.  Your kid cuts their own hair.  Your baby gets into your lipstick and decides to put it on the dog.  Your child cries because their crush doesn’t like them.  That’s kids will be kids.

Your child calls other children homophobic, racist, or misogynistic slurs.  Your child steals or tells other children that they’re not allowed to play in certain areas.  Your kid punches their crush when that child doesn’t reciprocate their feelings.  That is NOT “kids will be kids” and you as the parent or teacher need to put a stop to it.

“❤  these photos of Taraji P. Henson, Janelle Monáe and Octavia Spencer dressed as their characters in Fox 2000’s “Hidden Figures”! In the film, which will tell the true story of the African American women mathematicians who were behind one of NASA’s first successful space missions, Henson stars as Katherine Johnson, Monáe as Mary Jackson, and Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan. We can’t wait for this trailblazing trio to hit the big screen next January!”

As seen on the Because of Them We Can by Eunique Jones Facebook page

EXCUSE ME, DID YOU JUST SAY THAT TARAJI P. HENSON, JANELLE MONAE AND OCTAVIA SPENCER ARE IN A FEATURE FILM WHERE THEY PORTRAY FAMOUS BLACK WOMEN IN STEM?!?!?
