[Women] are the people I want to talk about, they’re the people I want to protect, they’re the people I want to put in my movies and see fail or win. As a writer, as a human being, and as a young man, it’s easier for me to express my anger, to ask questions, to seek answers, to talk, to cry as a woman in a movie. I connect with those figures more than I connect with men. Men are born privileged in the scale of things - I’m generalizing, but it’s true. Women have to define themselves in the eyes of men. They have to fight for their rights, especially in a society that will pretend that there is no fight or no battle, that it’s a cliche, that feminists are reactionary, all these things. As a young man who struggled to find his identity and to find his place, I relate to that quest for belonging in society. With mothers, especially, with their flaws, the way they have made huge sacrifices in order to be good moms or just moms. They probably sacrificed a part of their career, they sacrificed some desires, some dreams. I cannot relate, but I love to talk about it.

So the President of the US is proposing free college, and Prime Minister of Canada is dismantling social services, environmental protection, and turning a blind eye to Native Canadians.

Something is wrong with this picture.

America is some fucked up dystopian shit honestly like how are y’all even surviving? Paying for healthcare? $60,000 on tuition? POC getting shot in Wal-Marts? White men shooting up elementary schools? That’s terrifying I’m worried about all of you

[rainbowreverie]

America doesn’t seem that terribly horrible when you live here day to day and you’ve known nothing else but when somebody says something like this it fucks you up really good.

PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS.

This Thursday, Scotland votes for its independence.

The BBC is trying to report that Yes to Independence is losing. They’re using photos to imply our gatherings are tiny and insignificant instead of the many photos like those above. They’re reporting that an anti-independence march by the Orange Order (think the KKK with more British flags) was a peaceful pro-union family march. They have been caught editing clips to discredit our First Minister.

There is a protest outside BBC headquarters right now. They are claiming there are a maximum of 350 protesters.

Watch for yourself. There are far more people outside their offices right now and they are being ignored and misreported.

We need to be seen. The only way we’ve been able to disseminate accurate information has been through social media. The media we rely on to spread unbiased information is lying to us, trying to suppress us.

PLEASE SHARE. PLEASE TALK ABOUT THIS. WE NEED OUR VOICES TO BE HEARD.

[deoxyribonucleics]

this website is very american-centric. please, we need to be heard. please pay attention. this is a whole country’s FUTURE.

[itsjackmace]

The BBC, funded by the government pushing the government’s agenda? What a shocker.

[lynxspots]

if we don’t get independence I’ll be so pissed

[duquebectoscotland]

Come on Scotland, we can do this, vote yes!

[quebecsouverain]

You go, Scotland! The world is ready for a new country :)

Salut! à ton avis, quelle est l'importance du référendum indépendance en Écosse pour Québec? (I hope that makes sense, I haven't spoken French in some time.)

I think it's really important. If the Yes side wins, and Scotland becomes independent from Great Britain, it gives Québec a reference of what happens after a winning referendum, which i'm sure will be a lot more positive than what we've known after the victories of the No sides, twice. We've paid so much from voting no twice, i really hope Scotland doesn't make the same mistake we've made.

I decided to break the law to provide a necessary medical service because women were dying at the hands of butchers and incompetent quacks, and there was no one there to help them. The law was barbarous, cruel and unjust. I had been in a concentration camp, and I knew what suffering was. If I can ease suffering, I feel perfectly justified in doing so.

Dr. Henry Morgentaler, a Canadian doctor who was arrested four times for performing abortions, but whose arrests eventually led to the 1988 Canadian Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion in the country. He died this week at the age of 90. His obituary can be found in the NY Times. (via quantumfemme)
