On this day 3 years ago Mike Brown died because a trigger-happy cop thought that Black lives didn’t matter. The Internet is still filled with nasty racists trying to justify the murder of Mike. And what is even worse they’re also all around us in the outside world.

You will never be forgotten, Mike.

Transgender people are not burdens. They’re people. If someone is willing to put they’re life on the line for their country, they should be able to do so. No matter what. I stand with you.

“But if making sure your fellow citizens can afford to eat, get an education, and go to the doctor isn’t enough of a reason to fund those things, I have nothing left to say to you.

I can’t debate someone into caring about what happens to their fellow human beings. The fact that such detached cruelty is so normalized in a certain party’s political discourse is at once infuriating and terrifying.

The “I’ve got mine, so screw you,” attitude has been oozing from the American right wing for decades, but this gleeful exuberance in pushing legislation that will immediately hurt the most vulnerable among us is chilling.”

Refuse reconciliation to ongoing brutality. Imagine otherwise. Remake the world. Some of us have never had any other choice.

You know what I like, and feel is so important? That he doesn’t say “Men thinks those are THEIR positions”. He says “We think those are OUR positions.”

As a male feminist, he still doesn’t exclude himself from the group of men.

Damn.

Well said.

She Tattooed Half Her Face And You’d Never Know It. Her Skills Are Just That Good. Meet Samira Omar.

The 17-year-old was the victim of a horrific bullying incident. A group of girls threw boiling water on her, leaving her badly burned and covered in scars and discoloration. 

She thought the physical scars would be with her forever — until she met Basma Hameed.

Basma Hameed runs a tattoo shop, of sorts — but her tattoo artistry doesn’t look like this:

it looks like this:

Basma is a paramedical tattoo specialist. Instead of tattooing vibrant, colorful designs, she uses special pigments that match the skin in order to conceal scars.

With Basma’s help, patients like Samira can see a dramatic decrease in their scar visibility and discoloration after a few treatments. She even offers free procedures for patients who are unable to afford treatment. That’s because Basma knows firsthand just how life-changing her work can be for those coping with painful scars left behind.

Click here to watch the full video and find out more about Basma’s practice, including how she became her very first patient.

Women who don't want babies

• are not selfish • are not less of a woman • are not weird • are not immature • won’t necessarily change her mind • won’t necessary be a lonely old lady • “a lonely old crazy cat lady” is a patriarchal asshole stereotype:):):):) • doesn’t necessarily hate kids • doesn’t need to give you an explanation
