PA LA PIPOL, mi carnala PA MI PIPOL

[gaydiationpoisoning-deactivated]

are you anti kink? why is that? incredibly curious

I’m anti-kink because dangerous behavior does not become ethical with the addition of orgasms. If your kink is watching someone smoke, I don’t give a shit, but if you eroticize violence and power disparities, or promote real-world power disparities through misogynist, homophobic, or racist sex games, you need to do some serious self-evaluation.

I’m anti-kink because I, myself, spent a long time accepting an attraction to power disparity as part of my own sexuality and my own involvement with older men has fucked me up to this day. I am anti-kink because stepping back and examining why I wanted what I wanted has been better for me than any aspect of sex-positivity has ever been, and now from the outside I am just tired of other people’s refusal to examine themselves. It’s not that hard.

“I guess my feminism and my race are the same thing to me. They’re tied in one to another, and I don’t feel an alliance or an allegiance with upper-class white women. I don’t. I can listen to them and on some level as a human being I can feel great compassion and friendships; but they have to move from their territory to mine, because I know their world. But they don’t know mine.”

2 Years Later: José Antonio Elena Rodríguez’s Mom Still Wants Answers

“We want the U.S. government to stop killing our kids.” - Gabriela López, José Antonio’s aunt

Just after 11:30 p.m., two years ago Friday, the shots rang out.

A Border Patrol agent, aiming through a narrow opening in the border fence, emptied all 12 rounds from his .40-caliber pistol. He reloaded and continued firing, riddling a teenage boy in the back and head, leaving him face-down in a pool of his own blood.

The Border Patrol said the agent fired at rock-throwers; witnesses say the boy killed was just walking down the street.

During the two years since José Antonio Elena Rodríguez, 16, was shot to death, much has changed. New policies inside Customs and Border Protection, federal court rulings and public pressure are combining in ways that may help prevent similar contentious deaths.

But some things remain the same.

Two years on, Araceli Rodríguez still seeks to know who killed her son and why.

tbh I don't get the feminist selfie circulation culture because 95% of the girls in the selfies I see being posted and reblogged are very conventionally attractive ....

Response to the fatal police shooting of Vonderrit Myers

In all the Western media craze over the young Pakistani activist Malala, there is a key point ignored about her: She is not only a Muslim feminist, she is a socialist with Marxist tendencies. In her own words: “I am convinced Socialism is the only answer and I urge all comrades to take this struggle to a victorious conclusion. Only this will free us from the chains of bigotry and exploitation.”

The two most important things about Malala Yousafzai that people conveniently (and often deliberately) forget. (via mehreenkasana)

The character assassination begins. His body’s not even cold yet and white America is hard at work making the victim the villain and soothing itself back to sleep with comforting narratives.

RIP Vonderrick Myer

The St. Louis police have murdered yet another black kid. Eighteen years old. Shaun King is keeping updates coming. There’s video of the police laughing at the scene of the crime. I hope every one of those cops dies a painful and slow death. Keep the victim’s family in your thoughts and prayers.
