I had to make a new account as I've lost the ability to log into my old one. I'll get this one back into the swing of things again soon.

I also want to make it abundantly clear this is why people say “fuck cops” and why “Blue Lives Matter” is bullshit. It may only be a “handful” of corrupt cops (which is also bullshit) but it’s the entire institution behind them that enables them and refuses to take any form of accountability. Every single cop is complicit. Every single one.

This is also why the thin blue line flags are so, so, so disconcerting to me.

The thin blue line is the line that cops won’t cross, which is doing anything to undermine cops.

It’s such an extremely us against them mentality where “us” is police and “them” is “everyone who isn’t a cop” that I’m legitimately confused when people claim it’s not a fascist symbol.

It’s signalling that you support cops over citizens and that you see cops as distinct and above citizens. It’s support for the police state and police AS the state.

“It always embarrassed Samuel Vimes when civilians tried to speak to him in what they thought was ‘policeman’. If it came to that, he hated thinking of them as civilians. What was a policeman, if not a civilian with a uniform and a badge? But they tended to use the term these days as a way of describing people who were not policemen. It was a dangerous habit: once policemen stopped being civilians the only other thing they could be was soldiers. “

In the Netherlands, abortion is freely available on demand. Yet the Netherlands boasts the lowest abortion rate in the world, about 6 abortions per 1000 women per year, and the complication and death rates for abortion are miniscule. How do they do it? First of all, contraception is widely available and free — it’s covered by the national health insurance plan. Holland also carries out extensive public education on contraception, family planning, and sexuality. An ethic of personal responsibility for one’s sexual activity is strongly promoted. Of course, some people say that teaching kids about sex and contraception will only encourage them to have lots of sex. But Dutch teenagers tend to have less frequent sex, starting at an older age, than American teenagers, and the Dutch teenage pregnancy rate is 9 times lower than in the U.S.

I endorse evidence-based medicine, and evidence-based activism.

Stop telling yourself that the grass is greener on the other side, because it’s not. It is greener where you water it. So take control of your life and start watering your own pastures and grow your own greener grasses.

[moniquill]

Fuck grass, clover is a nitrogen fixing legume and dandelions are super useful. Be the weeds. Grow on concrete in defiance of those who would thwart you.

[luminous-lily12]

It’s also greener where you bury a body

i’m screaming Xena caused the Ides of March

[iwilltrytobereasonable]

Xena caused most things. Xena influenced the development of Taoism. Xena gave directions to Joseph and Mary, but she ALSO stopped Abraham from killing Isaac. Xena does ALL THE THINGS.

[glumshoe]

Xena singlehandedly created history.

Also the first musical episode on TV series (one with original songs and one with covers of actual songs, the Amazon’s singing the Eurythmics was a major spiritual moment for 14 yr old me), the first reality show (during season 6 I think), the first Beauty Pageant (Miss Known World, which was won by a trans woman btw), and a few dozen other things.

If they ever bring this show back and don’t include things like this, I’m going to be very annoyed.

[thearcanetrickster]

Having to include all of that might be why they haven't brought it back.

[original-art]

Looking for artists on tumblr.

Do you create, reblog, or otherwise enjoy original (non-fanart) works?

My queue is running low and I’m looking for pieces to fill it. Please like/reblog if it’s okay to queue from you or if you’d like to spread the word. Thanks!

[alithographica]

Queue is low again!

That header photo doesn’t do the dragon justice. (For shame!). Here’s NASA’s own photo:

I’m a lesbian and somehow I manage to walk down the street and not ogle women I find attractive, or cat call or degrade them, or touch them without permission, or interrupt their daily lives, it’s almost as if I’m treating them like human beings despite my attraction to them. What an insane concept.

[weareadvocates]

omg same

[notmadeofgold]

We were arguing about dress code in a meeting at work. And while my department knows I’m queer the other departments did not. As people (men) were saying that women showing skin and wearing tight clothes was distracting. I spoke up finally and said.

“I’m attracted to women.”

Everyone turned and looked at me and I was like “uhhh” so I finished.

“I’m attracted to women and I can still do my job. Regardless of what someone in my class is wearing. I can still teach. So why can’t you?”

The men all stayed silent.
