Everyone who suffers from social anxiety needs a friend who will
help them order food when it’s too scary
walk with them through crowded places
help them laugh it off when they make a mistake
not get tired of answering “no, you’re not annoying, silly goose! You’re adorable and I love you” no matter how many times it’s needed
and if you’re that friend, bless u for being fab <3
So I read your piece on call-outs yesterday, and on this particular issue I have to say I think you’ve got it more than a little backwards, and that the continued spread of youressay is actually doing more harm than good.
Which, yes, amounts to me calling you out. Publicly.
And, if you want to...
do a video naked butt and boob
does anyone else find this sad and pathetic instead of funny?…
I find it really disturbing the way little boys are learning to talk about women. How do kids this young even know what nude videos even are? What kind of men are they going to turn into if they already talk to/about women with such entitlement and such little respect? This is not funny at all, it’s sad and disgusting and scary.
my parents live next to an elementary school for kids age 6-12 and i’ve been sickened by these little boys harassing me by similar and uglier words even now as a 20 years old. in what world could u imagine little girls shouting similar stuff at 20 year old men. it doesn’t happen. it’s telling how hypersexualized and misogynistic the culture is, and no doubt porn has a lot to do with it..
And things like this ad and I’d wager about a million just like it contribute to this by telling little boys that objectifying women is good and what they should always want to do.
These are boys who are far too young to be interested in sex with women. Like, they haven’t even reached puberty yet, the physical desire is not yet a part of their lives. They’re doing it because it’s an easy way to bully women. If that doesn’t prove it’s about power before it’s about sex, I don’t know what does.
as a mother of a young boy, this makes me feel physically sick
Since you are black and proud, I will test you with this question: How does a woman carry a child in her stomach for 9 months, go through all the pain, hold it in her arms, and end up calling it Laquisha?
Laquisha is a French variant of the Swahili name “Lakiesha" which means "favorite”. In addition, the name is also a French variant from the original Latin ”Leticia” which means gay, delighted, or joyful and is the name of an old Roman Goddess, Laetitia. I’m not only black and proud, I’m also a former linguistics student, avid reader of mythology, and Tumblr. Your tests mean nothing to me. So to answer your question, how does she end up naming her daughter after a Goddess? Pretty pridefully I’d hope, our women are Goddesses.

The Dumb Questions Actors Of Color Get That White Ones Don’t Deal With
Upworthy asked some actors of color to describe what it’s like working in the entertainment industry. What we found were a whole bunch of stereotypes. Why isn’t it OK to cast people of color as stereotypical side characters? While some might argue it’s just entertainment, media shapes how we see the world and how we see ourselves. Diverse representations of people from all walks of life promotes tolerance and understanding, and it improves the self-esteem of children and people of color. Take a look at the full video to get a glimpse of what it’s like trying to make it in entertainment as a person of color.
was watching this with a culturally diverse group - 2 Black, one Indian, 1 Asian (i’m sorry, i think she’s Chinese but don’t want to assume). One of the girls said “that doesn’t really happen. who says that?!” and the Asian woman quickly jumped in.. “oh yes, it definitely does. it’s happened to me”.
i know people has said this stuff and worst…and i have a really diverse group of friends…… so i won’t call out who.
"Doesn’t really happen"? This school lunchroom experience is such a fucking common childhood trauma that it’s pretty much the most cliche incident of racism in Asian American storytelling. In a food-oriented memoir like "Fresh Off the Boat", it’s practically required. If you’re exposed to so little Asian American writing and culture that you’ve never heard this story, you probably shouldn’t be opening your mouth about what really happens to Asian Americans.
I distinctly recall a bunch of white kids doing this to a new asian student when I was in kindergarten or first grade and one of the lunch mothers made them feel real stupid by pointing out how often some of their moms sent them to school with cold spaghetti for lunch
I was really embarrassed whenever my mom packed me Vietnamese food for lunch in elementary school so I just hid the food under my desk and ate it out from the container, while trying to cover what I was actually eating with my hands. Whenever I had “American” food for lunch I would openly and proudly eat it out in the open. Eating lunch back in elementary school in a public school was a traumatizing experience and is one of the reasons why I developed internalized racism growing up.
English Vinglish (2012)
This just pissed me off
amplify:
Today marks the anniversary of the landmark Roe v Wade decision. But today, hundreds of anti-abortion activists will gather on the National Mall for the annual March for Life, to call for an end to safe, legal abortion in the United States. This year, their event organizers have asked anti-choice activists to use a new hashtag on Twitter or Facebook…the hashtag is #WhyWeMarch. We believe that there are a thousand reasons why we SHOULD be marching this month, and marching against abortion rights certainly isn’t one of them. Help us take over the #WhyWeMarch hashtag, and flood their stigmatizing and harmful Twitter stream with progressive messages of reasons why WE march.
can’t wait to hear how cop defenders are gonna try and explain this one
this is so disgusting
