Canadian Journalist, Markham Hislop is appealing to White House leakers. He said he’ll be happy to publish anything on Donald Trump he receives on his news site.
His first comment refers to this:

it's weird that ronan could so easily beat up drax the destroyer. drax was created specifically to destroy thanos. he's one of 3 beings in the universe who can do it. the other two are galactus and the beyonder. so the idea that ronan could beat him without a scratch is... troubling. drax did learn from it though. maybe that'll come in handy at some point. maybe soon. maybe next year.
how the f*** is harry ford a hundred years old and still in better shape than the 60-y/o characters he plays? and also most other people?
of COURSE american Odin's ride is a cadillac. what else would it be?
i don't want a future run by paranoid, risk-averse people who were broken in childhood by fear of failure.
i want to see a world run by goddamn revolutionaries who know that discovery is fuelled by successive attempts undeterred by failure.
that's how we got our legendary humans, and it's the only way we'll get more of them.
we won't get them by crushing them as children and remaking them as middle management.
here's why i don't argue with my fellow white people about the meaning of "racism" anymore.
The Liberal communications director was handed a conditional discharge for striking a woman in the face during a domestic argument on May 9, 2014
For the second time in four days, Nova Scotia Premier Stephen McNeil was forced off message Thursday to defend himself from attacks on gender-related issues.
At a campaign stop in Halifax, McNeil said Liberal communications director Kyley Harris deserved “a second chance” after being handed a conditional discharge for striking a woman in the face during a domestic argument on May 9, 2014.
Harris was a spokesman for McNeil at the time, but was fired after waiting four days to tell the government he was facing an assault charge.
Harris was hired back in 2015 to do research in the Liberal caucus office and is now listed as director of communications for the central campaign in the runup to the May 30 provincial vote.
The matter resurfaced after federal Conservative Leader Rona Ambrose posted on social media Wednesday saying Harris’s re-hiring sends a “terrible message,” and that Liberal leaders “need to walk the talk on violence against women.”

dear liberal party;
when the federal CPC leader is telling you you're being shitty to women, that means you're being REALLY shitty to women. pull your fucking socks up.

Charities/organisations to avoid:
PETA: They’d rather spend their money on publicity campaigns than on the animals in their care. PETA killed 73.8% of the animals in their care in 2015 (x)
FCKH8: Is a for-profit company that exploits oppressed groups for money. They’re also wildly uninformed, and spread misogyny, cissexism and bi/panphobia, as well as stealing their posts/designs (x)
Autism Speaks: They spend most of their money on researching a way to eliminate autism, heighten the stigma against autism and don’t have a single autistic person on their board (x)
Please support other, better charities, and feel free to add any others you can think of to this.
Susan G. Komen for the Cure: CEO makes insane amounts of money, they deny a lot of requests for wigs/help with treatment/etc., and have attempted to sue other charities that use the color pink as part of their anti-breast cancer campaign. ( x x x )
The Salvation Army: They promote the hatred of LGBT+ people, work with fundamentalist Christian groups to support conservative politics and rip off and exploit workers. ( x x x )
Wounded Warrior: They take money that should be spent on veterans and blow it on huge opulent parties for the company bigwigs. 26 million in 2014 alone wasted! ( x x x )
^ Important reminder to NOT waste any money donating to these groups
Reblogging because of the added info about Wounded Warrior.
A good way to know if a nonprofit you’re donating to is allocating their money in the right way is to check out their Charity Navigator rating: http://www.charitynavigator.org
In other news, "Friend-zone" is still complete bullshit.
Saw this today. Don’t remember the exact wording, but the gist was this:
‘Don’t let her use you for deep and satisfying conversation while she’s fucking some guy who barely texts her. Know your worth.’
The following commentary is what I’d call cis-heteronormative, and even a bit lazy. I’m just frustrated and have to get this out.
If the conversation is satisfying, why are you worried about who she’s fucking? Are you a reductive asshole who thinks conversation is just the key to her pants? Is that the ultimate endgame for every relationship with a woman who isn’t your mother or sister? Are you also similarly usurious of your relationships with men, using friendship as means to selfish end?
Once again for the guys up in the nosebleed seats who maybe still haven’t heard:
“Friend-zone” is bullshit. If “knowing your worth” hinges on whether or not she thinks you’re more fuckable than some other dude, you probably don’t know your worth, and definitely don’t know hers.
In case it got past you, you are allowed to have deep, satisfying conversations with friends while dating other people. She can do that. So can you.
And for anybody on the other side of this (i.e. facing direct criticism from somebody you thought was a friend but who’s mad that they’ve been so nice to you and you give it up to some asshole because that’s your goddamn decision to make):
You probably already know this, but there’s nothing wrong with you or your decision. The problem lies *entirely* with your “friend’s” insecurity and extremely limiting priorities. That person is not ready to be your friend.
It’s entirely up to you to decide whether you have the patience to wait for them to get their shit aligned and catch up with you.
Apologies for the cis-hetero-mono-normativity.
Rant complete. You know, for the moment.
One more time: “If ‘knowing your worth’ hinges on whether or not she thinks you’re more fuckable than some other dude, you probably don’t know your worth, and definitely don’t know hers.”
Lol and what if your significant other/ the fuckable man doesn’t want to except or allow you to have this “meaningful conversational relationship” with another friend that you don’t classify as worthy of the time and or energy that you are putting into them to include fucking!!…. oh and btw this significant other has multiple friends he has these “meaningful conversational relationships” with…… smh
sorry. trying to read your sentences, unsure of your meaning. if i'm reading it right, then i guess that's some other guy's problem, not mine.
the following post STINKS of privilege, i'm pretty sure...
saw that 8-ppl-who-fled-usa-for-toronto-because-trump-happened article in torontolife (paraphrasing heavily on the title).
wow.
like, queer grandma and her wife are basically refugees, and yes, welcome to canada, both of you. i’d be on the first plane out of san bernardino too if there was a sudden (then escalating) uptick in violence against people who look, talk, act, and love like i do.
the rest of these “refugees” tell a story that goes “i used to be rich, white, and comfortable but now i’m just rich & white so f*** this country i’m out.”
i’m not judging or anything.
i was expecting refugees to come from the US to canada, and was ready to welcome them. i just wish we could read a story about the refugees coming here who are predominantly *actually in danger* (not mad cuz their grumpy brocialist team lost the nomination and they couldn’t bring themselves to vote for the best candidate of the 3 running against the living embodiment of everything gross and evil about their country).
ok, so i’m judging a little.
people who are not directly threatened (because let’s face it, the whole fucking world is at least indirectly threatened) by a trump administration, are moving to canada as refugees. those more directly threatened are (a) woefully underrepresented, and (b) mostly not in a position to leave.
i don’t know if i’d be able to stay and fight for people in that position; i’m disabled and very ill-suited to soldiering or the activist’s life. but if i were shamed for leaving, i think that would be righteous.
rant complete. appreciate you getting to the end. hope it wasn’t too obtuse.
My mom said that today in church her pastor said in the sermon that Jesus told us to help the poor, and taking money away from public schools to give to charter schools only widens the gap between the rich and the poor. She then added that Jesus spoke against adultery and lust and would not have approved of bragging about sexually assaulting women. According to my mom, people got up and walked out.
The pastor also started the sermon by noting that she’d heard of another minister who read the entirety of the Sermon on the Mount at the pulpit, to be told by the so-called Christian parishioners after the service that it was offensive and they didn’t agree.
The Sermon on the Mount is straight up the words of Jesus.
I recently read an article that said, hypocritical Christians in America don’t actually worship Jesus. They worship America, and even then, it’s a very specific, self-centered idea of America.
YES. EXACTLY.
My mom’s church talks almost every Sunday about how Christians are called to welcome strangers and foreigners and does tons of stuff to help refugees because HELLO, IT’S RIGHT THERE. IN THE RED TEXT, NO LESS.
I don’t believe everything they believe, but I REALLY like those people.
What a lot of these people are is idolators.
Not in terms of the realness or unrealness of who they worship, but in terms of how they’ve warped their focus away from the reality and turned it towards a fantasy of their own construction.
By definition, an idol is an image with no god behind it.
What they have done is taken the idea of Jesus and created a false image of him, nothing like the reality, to carry around in their back pocket, or to wave around on signs, and pull out and shove in people’s faces to justify all manner of unChristlike behavior.
It is a “worship” that is fundamentally self-centered rather than deity-centered, wherein the deity in question is more of a pocketbook get-out-of-jail-free card than directive to live by, and more of a status symbol than a guiding light.
That people will, without a shred of self-awareness, rest themselves assured that Jesus would want them to tip their waitress with a Jesus pamphlet made to look like folded-up money (to take only one example out of many) is the ultimate dismissal of everything the original stood for.
There is a line in the Bible about Jesus meeting his false worshipers and saying “I do not know you.” It seems like plenty of so-called Christians have beaten him to the punch with how quick they are to say they don’t know him.
A lot of churches and organizations in America that call themselves Christian churches are in fact Christianist cults. They no more represent Christianity than Daesh represents Islam. In addition to the usual nonsense of so-called Christians being pro-war, anti-immigrant, racist, and so forth, there are a lot of sects/movements that are just completely toxic and not Christian at all, even though they use that label. If you are Christian and want to have some fucking nightmares, google “christian dominionist,” or “prosperity gospel.”
Full time work should entitle someone to enough pay for rent, food, bills, and leisure activities. Full time work for a full life wage. You put in your 8 hours a day, 5 days a week? You should be able to afford the basic shit you need in life, no matter where you work.
pisses me off that this is considered a radical statement.
I do agree with this but from economic standpoint if you are working at a job like McDonalds as someone flipping burgers and making fries you are getting paid for the amount of skill needed for the job. But if its any other job that requires you to have an actual skill that you can make a career out of then yeah you should be getting paid enough to live a standard life.
If you work FULL TIME you should be able to afford to fucking live. No, it doesn’t matter if it’s flipping burgers, these people contribute to our fucking economy and they MATTER. They should be allowed to be alive.
Jesus fucking Christ do you people hear yourselves?
People like this are why we can’t move on to issues like reducing how many hours is full time, or working out UBI. We’re going to need to do that. Most people just don’t know what’s coming down the pipeline, without a major change to the structure of the economy, we’re looking at large scale permanent unemployment, even in the “skilled” labor force.
Also? Making food is a fucking skill. Running a fast food kitchen is a fucking skill. Operating a drive-thru is a goddamn fucking skill.
I do not know how to do these things. I have a masters degree and I have no fucking clue how to operate a deep fryer or make coffee drinks. I’d probably not be very good at it, because that kind of hands-on, fast-paced work is very hard for me.
But thankfully, there are people who are good at it, so I can do my job, and they can do theirs, and we can benefit one another by putting our skills to use in different areas. People who work in fast food are not less deserving of comfort and security in their lives just because their skills aren’t valued like they should be. That is a myth developed to deprive people of rights.
My friend works as a medical assistant and I’ve worked at McDonald’s and Starbucks. You know there’s a lot of things you gotta learn in this typa job?
Like in addition to it being physically demanding (standing up for 4-6 hours straight, carrying heavy ice/coffee, constantly getting burned by boiling water and an oven, a lot of reaching and squatting (like a lot a lot I lost 40 FUCKING pounds in a year okay this job demands a lot from the body)), there are actual skills required. Also your skin splits from using so much antibacterial soap.
Do you know what temperature different foods have to be to prevent contamination? If it’s a “cold” or “hot” plate?? Do You know how long food can be out before bacterial contamination can happen?? Do you know the difference between say 1% and heavy whipping cream? Can you teach a chemistry class using milk????? That’s p much what you gotta learn to be able to do. My friend who works as a medic was surprised, because I do more in my day than they do, and THEY told me that. They were shocked how much I actually do; I am on my feet more, talking to more people, I have a working knowledge of food germs food born illnesses and chemistry, I gotta do the same shit with sterilizing my tools the same exact way a doctor sterilizes theirs. Etc etc.
There’s no such thing as an unskilled job. There are only undervalued skills.
“There’s no such thing as an unskilled job. There are only undervalued skills.”
A hidden camera show where people who think they’re too good to work in a fast food kitchen, or register, or drive through. They have to work full time for one week, and they can only spend what they earn from that job. If they don’t perform up to the same standard as people already doing the job, they pay one week of their current salary to the employee they couldn’t replace.
i would watch this show... or at least clips of it on YouTube. especially the parts where the contestants pay tf up.
