It occurs to me that maybe one of the reasons girls infamously love Fall is that by the end of the summer we’re sick to death of the male gaze and can’t wait to comfortably put a damn coat on.

This is glorious and even thought it doesn’t fit in the range of all the paranormal, I MUST share

It works like this: You tell Kitestring that you’re in a dangerous place or situation, and give it a time frame of when to check in on you. If you don’t reply back when it checks your status, it’ll alert your emergency contacts with a custom message you set up.

It doesn’t require you to touch anything (like bSafe) or shake your phone (like Nirbhaya) to send the distress signal. Kitestring is smarter, because it doesn’t need an action to alert people, it needs inaction.

reblogging because this is seriously amazing.

This shouldn’t even be an app this should be an integrated feature into all phones on every OS

camyberry

Ok, guys. Thi is really important. You have to reblog that and read the whole article.

This will never happen to me. You can’t tell. Otherwise, if you don’t want to do for yourself, maybe among your follwers someone need this information.

I’m a man, i don’t care. You should care the more. What if it was your sister? Again, spread the word. There may be someone needingths.

You can never tell. As far as we can’t handle back maniacs, PLEASE, prevent yourself <3

Reblogging because this is awesome but also I'm annoyed by the above people: this ISNT an app. This was made so that you DONT need a smart phone to use this.

You set everything up online and then it calls your phone and there is a safe word and duress word you use to check in. So, no apps, no actions to take, no buttons to click, etc.

Not an app. No need for a smartphone. Awesome site / service.

I hope one day that history looks back on ronald reagan as one of the 20th century’s most vile and disgusting serial killers

Remember when like 6 Americans had ebola and it was an international emergency, and Obama flew out to meet survivors? Here is a list of things the United States government did in response: -Increasing the number of Ebola testing labs throughout the U.S. that can quickly and safely screen a potential Ebola specimen -Educating more than 150,000 health care workers on how to identify, isolate, diagnose, and care for patients under investigation for Ebola -Developing countermeasures — including the first Ebola vaccine to progress to Phase 2 testing — to prevent and treat Ebola -Converting at least 10 of the Ebola Treatment Centers into long-term Regional Ebola and Pandemic Treatment Centers for long-term readiness for years to come -Helping state and local public health systems accelerate and improve their operational readiness and preparedness for Ebola or other infectious diseases Source: https://whitehouse.gov/ebola-response

When the Reagan administration was faced with tens of thousands of gay men dying, they did nothing. They made jokes. They laughed. They caused an epidemic that killed 40 million people, because they hated gay men and thought we deserved to die.

There is so much more to it. There is a myth perpetuated by Reaganites that he was an historically significant President, in some positive sense. If you are old enough to have voted in 1980, you probably know differently. If you were born after 1980 you have been raised on this myth. He sold Americans a fable about a Hollywood movie-like exceptional past and destiny, and led ordinary people around with portrayals of that mirage while his reactionary robber-baron friends set about dismantling 50 years of progressive advancements for working men and women, on their way to returning themselves to the position of unfettered economic domination they held between the Civil War and the Great Depression. He was a union buster. He gave us Scalia – need I say more? He tried to give us Robert Bork (does anyone under 30 even know who he is?). He lied about Iran/Contra. He avoided dealing with AIDS. He sealed the political sham-show between right wing capitalist kings and the evangelical thought-control snake-oil salesmen. Americans don’t want to hear that they are ordinary citizens of the world, and they don’t want to hear that the aren’t anointed by some deity to lead the world to salvation. They lapped it up, and they continue to do so.

I have to wonder how the response of a more competent presidency to the AIDS crisis might have changed even the global impact of the disease. Where might we be today? How many millions of people would be alive and not suffering? Yes, Reagan was historically significant—for fucking things up in a globally devastating way.

iammyfather

When you hear how he slashed Income taxes, he did on the Wealthy, but he increased the lowest tax rate from 10% to 15%.

His campaign was funded by Christian radicals, whose entire goal was to dismantle Roe vs. Wade and see American women relegated once more to back alleys and dirty knives. He opened the door to religion in politics in a way the postwar McCarthyists never dreamed possible. Now, 36 years after his election, maybe a third of American medical schools offer proper access to even first-trimester abortion training (in an era where that should mean a pill or vaginal suppository), and there are currently fewer doctors trained to perform late stage abortions for the entire US than there were pre-RvW (when such operations were only performed as a heroic measure).

heylookitsarevolution

And no one has even touched on his legacy of racial hatred, deliberate destruction of black communities and establishing of COONTELPRO to destroy the lives of black panthers and black activists, his actual murder of black activists and more. He was actually a demon.

If you want to know how many lives could have been saved if the Reagan government had just fucking BUDGETED for AIDS research instead of telling AIDS researchers that they had to beg, borrow or steal any money for AIDS from other programs–then read And The Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic, 20th-Anniversary Edition by Randy Shilts. And be prepared to have your heart broken at the unadulterated and wildly irresponsible waste.of time and human lives.

Other shitty things Reagan did:

1) He almost tripled the National Debt. And you need to see the difference with zeroes:

When Reagan took office in 1980: $909,100,000 owed.(909.1 billion)

When Reagan left office in 1988: $2,601,300,000,000 owed. (2.6 trillion)

2) He raised taxes on the middle class and the poor ELEVEN TIMES while in office.

3) Unemployment soared after Reagan passed his tax cuts for the rich, and it took decades to get back down again.

4) He turned the U.S. into an illegal weapons dealer.

5) He funded terrorists, helping create the Taliban and Osama bin Laden. From NewsOne:

After Ronald Reagan was elected in 1981, U.S. funding of the mujahideen increased significantly and CIA Paramilitary Officers played a big role in training, arming and sometimes even leading mujahideen forces.

The CIA trained the mujahideen in many of the tactics Al Qaeda is known for today, such as car bombs, assassinations and other acts that would be considered terrorism today.

6) When his economic policies began wreaking havoc on the government, Reagan stole from Social Security–to the tune of 2.5 TRILLION–treating it for eight years as the private slush fund of himself and his rich friends.

7) [T]he Reagan administration demonized opponents of apartheid, most notably the African National Congress, as dangerous and pro-communist. Reagan even vetoed a bill to impose sanctions on South Africa, only to be overruled by Congress.

They called him the Teflon president for a reason. All this shit–and none of it stuck to him. He got away clean every single time.

Reading up on Nelson Mandela I caught wind of that fact a few years back. The standing President of the US was more than a little ok with not condemning Apartheid even as a symbolic gesture.

That coupled with all of this and it speaks to an impossibly gross legacy. Of course the Neocons of the Republican set look at him as some sort of Conservative Jesus, so none of this would get actual traction with them.But email scandals are beyond the pale…

OH HELLS YES ANTI-REAGAN MASTERPOST Also let’s not forget about how he created and/or dramatically enhanced the homeless problem in America by closing the California state psychiatric hospitals (except for the ones for the criminally insane) and tossing all the residents out into the street.

Reblogging this for all the times I get drunk and start ranting about how much I hate Reagan. Now I'll have links! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

okbjgm

one of the reasons i keep posting anti-trump articles on my feed - even thought most of you agree with me, and i have achieved some level of detente with those of you who do not - is the idea recently expressed by ezra klein in vox in response to trump’s latest outrageous anti-muslim statement:

“At this point, I honestly don’t know what to say. I don’t have new language for this, I haven’t found another way of saying this isn’t okay, this isn’t kind, this isn’t decent.”

whether he gets elected or not, trump’s biggest injury to our culture - and it’s not like we had a paradisiacal utopia of beneficence to begin with - is that he flourished by exhausting the very idea of objecting on grounds of decency. trump has made it possible - outside of the realm of comedy, or artistic transgression and provocation - to say whatever hateful garbage comes to his mind under the pretext that “speaking your mind” is somehow a greater virtue than the understanding that not all thoughts are intended for the public, not all opinions are valid by sheer dint of their existence, and that other people - regardless of whether you agree or disagree with them - deserve a basic deference to their mere humanity.

what the critics of “political correctness” - the people who “love” trump because he “says what’s on his mind” - always miss is that not hurting other living things should be the baseline consideration of any expression: “is what i have to say going to hurt/oppress/perpetuate a negative sterotype of others that has ramifications in the real world - will what i have to say be seen as a societal permission to do hurtful things to others?”

if so, is what am i trying to say worth saying at all, and if so, how can i accomplish my goal in the least collaterally harmful way?

that simple filter - that diaphanous layer of simple consideration for others that so many condemn as the oppression of their “right to free speech” - is actually the cornerstone of human decency and perhaps our social contract: a minuscule exertion of the mind that has the power to keep societies together, families at peace, and public discourse in motion to where i understanding and consensus are possible.

what is strongest and most valuable in us - what best represents our creativity, resourcefulness, grit, evolution, and ingenuity - is not the weapons we build, the buildings we erect, or the “truths” we congratulate ourselves for articulating, but rather that we have the ability to pause on the face of what is other, and, in that pause, see ourselves.

trump not only lacks this filter - as well as the understanding that to most people, a simple acknowledgement of shared humanity is crucial for communication - but, like some diseased perpetual motion machine, works with superhuman energy to drive home the message that most others are not even worth the assumption: this will be trump’s ultimate legacy, the furthering of a culture that rewards the bully for strength and demeans the victim for a weakness that perhaps we only too too well to exist within ourselves - a culture that automatically defers the assumption of righteousness to a man with a club over a woman with a truth.

with every sexist, racist, misanthropic remark - with every refusal to apologize, with every lie and contradiction, with every double-down, with every expression of his unexamined privilege, unbridled cruelty, and indifference to the suffering he causes - and with every shred of attention he receives for it, trump, destroys a little piece of something that is soft, and frail, and ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. it is in our nature to deify the appearance of strength and to run to the perceived comfort of certainty: the simplicity of a world where greatness and weakness are so easily definable that one can be built by sheer tyranny of will and the other stamped out with mere force…

but what is best is us is not our ability to beat up on the things we dislike, but our capacity to acknowledge them and let them exist - because we recognize them in ourselves.

i have a lot of conservative friends, and many of them claim to like trump for his brashness and his truth-telling, they feel that trump is “taking the fight to the enemy”… but being as trump’s “truths” are so easily disproven, and his brashness is so transparently a call for attention, i would like to suggest that the biggest temptation this man puts in front of us isn’t even a political promise of greatness, but a free license to vent our worst thoughts, instead of a promise to think past the first fury to something that is rigorous, considered, and empathic. something that reflects our intellect, creativity, and evolution.

to some this contest is about trump and hillary - about a corrupt system vs. an outsider who promises to break it open and create new opportunities for greatness - but i say it is about something different: it is about whether we have the ability to stop that part of us that wants to bully everyone with whom we disagree into complicity, it is about whether we have the presence of heart, mind, and soul to give to others the very empathy we want for ourselves. strength that doesn’t protect the weak is not real strength. honesty that doesn’t account for in itself what it hates in others is bullying. what is soft inside of us is the cradle of our decency, and deserves protection.

most importantly, the only manner in which donald trump deserves to be imitated is that those of us who see in him a future in which “speaking your mind” is the equal to “say whatever you want with impunity” need to devote an energy as fulminant as his to pointing that he and all that he represents is a cruel promise - a fraudulent vision of greatness purchased at the cost of our souls.

This is so well said, the whole thing, that I’m reblogging it on principle.
