When a person tells you you hurt them, you don’t get to decide you didn’t.

This has long been one of the most influential quotes I have ever come across. Completely changes my perspective on soooo many situations in my past. (via hudson-republic)

Canada Took In 25,000 Syrian Refugees In Four Months. The U.S. Accepted 841 In Five Months
The Canadian government fulfilled a promise on Monday that it would resettle 25,000 Syrian refugees, just two months later than the originally proposed deadline. The program was launched in November 2015 after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau took office and was set to be completed before the turn of the new year. Meanwhile, President Barack Obama vowed to take in 10,000 Syrian refugees for the 2016 fiscal year (which starts in October 2015). Since that date, however, the United States has only accepted 841 Syrian refugees.
Canada Took In More Syrian Refugees In Four Months Than The U.S. Will By The End Of 2016
On a personal level, being misogynist, ableist, homophobic, etc. is not just about feeling hatred for marginalised groups. Hatred is a symptom, and not everyone has that symptom. Sometimes it’s pity. Or creepy dehumanising fascination. Or indifference. Or ignorance and a self-absorbed refusal to learn to be better.
But it’s not about your feelings at all - it’s about actions and whether your actions support an oppressive system.
That’s why you can’t say, “I’m not misogynist! I love women!” and have people go, “well, you know your feelings best!” It’s not about your feelings. It’s about what you’re doing and if it’s harmful. And you do not get to decide if you’re harming others.
You don’t have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step.

The Racial Retirement Gap Has Become A Chasm
It used to be that most American workers could expect guaranteed checks in retirement thanks to a pension, or what economists call a defined-benefit plan. But in the 1980s, the country went through a major shift, with employers ditching pensions in favor of 401(k) accounts. Those accounts, known as defined-contribution plans, don’t guarantee payouts, leaving it up to the employees to enroll, contribute, and make smart investment decisions to ensure they’ll get enough money in old age.

As a part of the January 1, 2017, Rules of Flat Track Roller Derby revision process, the WFTDA Rules Committee has launched a beta testing program designed to gather data and feedback on two rules proposals that were generated out of community feedback and WFTDA membership discussions. -modifying Rule 5.11 - Cutting the Track to allow for a Skater to yield position in order to mitigate the effects of a cut, thus preventing a penalty -examining changes to initiation in Rule 4.1.2 that would not penalize Skaters in situations where a Skater unintentionally and unavoidably initiates illegal contact
Very very interesting!
Curious to see what happens. Wonder what @cobrakaiderbycoach thinks, tbh. Always provides an academic and interesting perspective.

Te dejo con tu vida tu trabajo tu gente con tus puestas de sol y tus amaneceres sembrando tu confianza te dejo junto al mundo derrotando imposibles seguro sin seguro te dejo frente al mar descifrándote a solas sin mi pregunta a ciegas sin mi respuesta rota te dejo sin mis dudas pobres y malheridas sin mis inmadureces sin mi veteranía pero tampoco creas a pie juntillas todo no creas nunca creas este falso abandono estaré donde menos lo esperes por ejemplo en un árbol añoso de oscuros cabeceos estaré en un lejano horizonte sin horas en la huella del tacto en tu sombra y mi sombra estaré repartido en cuatro o cinco pibes de esos que vos miras y enseguida te siguen y ojalá pueda estar de tu sueño en la red esperando tus ojos y mirándote.
