…Is John Oliver a Janet?
last week tonight is honestly the only watchable late show right now
Personally I Stan John Oliver but I think a couple of Stephen colberts is doing okay. But I might be biased her because I also Stan him
(Also old Democrats) (they all trash)
One of my favorite fun facts about this is how orchestras where mostly male even after they switched to blind auditions so they where like what if we added carpet? and suddenly the number of woman in orchestras jumped up because their heels didn’t eco on stage I forget the specific orchestra but it’s still pretty cool
Hot take
If you want to eradicate prostitution, decriminalize it.
Treat it the way some places are treating street drugs.
You wan’t to release these girls from their hell?
Give them a platform to break free from the control of their pimp, or give them the assistants to leave the life there in.
The idea of arresting sex workers is redicules!
It makes no sense you wouldn’t catch someone buying drugs and arrest the drugs???
Before it was illegal you had woman working in a clean safe work inveroment, that was majorly managed by other woman!
Hey guys and gals and gender neutral pals! 
It’s been awhile sense Weve posted anything. This is because we are trying to move away from the tumblr platform. We were wondering where y’all preferred to see our content? Facebook group/page? Twitter account? Reddit sub? Stay on tumblr? Please feel free to jump in and let us now? Things are only getting crazier out there so please let us know what you guys want to be seeing from us.
When white teachers call colonizers “explorers” to make them seem like brave people with an adventurous curiosity instead of genocidal, european supremacist bastards who wanted to exchange blood for money.
When white teachers explain mixed race children saying colonizers “fell in love” with native women to make them seem loving men instad of rapists and murderers.
When white teachers still call Native Americans “Indians” knowing damn well Christopher Columbus’ DUMB ASS just couldn’t read a map
Fuccboi Chris just didn’t know geography 🤷🏻♀️
I remember a teacher telling me how Archaeologists would hack off the noses of statues they found in order to remove any indication that it was of a black person or any POC. It hurts me to think of all the art we’ve lost and damaged because of historical revisionism and flat out racism.
I…wasn’t taught this. Only about penises being broken off as censorship.
When I was in primary school (around 8 or 9) I asked why none of the Egyptian statues had noses. They lied to us and said that they broke off because they were a really fragile bit of the statues so when I learnt the real reason (years later) I was so pissed off with teachers for lying to millions of school children around the world. It’s disgusting and needs to be taught properly.
That’s one of the reasons for all the missing noses out there! But there are other aspects to consider as well.
For one thing, noses are one of many features that wear off over the years. The Great Sphynx, for example, had a whole lot more damage than just the nose before efforts at restoration began:
Lookit the lil dude on its shoulder! Most of it was completely submerged in sand and had to be excavated. Who knows how beautifully it may have been carved before it was eroded by all that sand and wind.
Time and weather definitely aren’t the only cause of missing noses, though. A lot of it was done in malice. Thing is, there are a bunch of different reasons people are malicious.
For one thing, ancient Egyptians were pretty heavily into symbology and the afterlife. All these beautiful statues aren’t just idealized or fantastical imagery; they often depicted real people and gods. From what I gather, the person’s… personhood, essence, soul… was there in representative form. Attacking the statue affected that person, and their ability to affect you from the afterlife along with it. A quick way to “kill” them and save yourself from their wrath if you were, say, a grave robber, was to prevent it from breathing. But of course, if you could easily destroy the whole face, like with hieroglyphs, that was even better.
So long before modern white people came to dig up and steal these artifacts, ancient Egyptians were attacking the art of their own culture. And let’s not forget that this was a culture that was around for over a thousand years. It’s hard to even imagine it, but even late Egyptians who are ancient to us had two whole previous civilizations who were already ancient to them!
There was actually an interesting exhibit about this just last year: https://pulitzerarts.org/exhibition/striking-power/
There’s also this whole thing where Pharaohs really, really wanted to be the most important Pharaoh ever! No one as powerful! Build my statue bigger, my pyramid taller! And if that means defacing the previous guy? Have at it my dude! Shoot, even lesser folks might have someone else’s imagery broken–or even their mummy itself. Not to mention how much mummies and their wrappings were commodified by the modern world and sold by the thousands to be viewed, or made into paint, or ground into “medicinal” powder, or…
Anyway.
Then of course we have the lovely colonizing religion, Christianity, always down to destroy any record of other cultures to promote their own tri/monotheistic creation myth. Can’t have people worshiping “Pagan” imagery, amirite? This has also been practiced by Jews and Muslims and ancient Greeks, etc. But Christians are some of the worst in terms of the sheer volume of their iconoclasm.
Poor Aphrodite here even had a frikkin cross chiseled into her forehead, along with the classic nose removal.
Cutting off the nose was also something that was done to actual people, not just statues. There’s an interesting page about that here: http://blogs.nottingham.ac.uk/argonautsandemperors/2015/10/23/effaced-the-missing-noses-of-classical-antiquity/ which includes reference to a place in ancient Egypt called Rhinokoloura, where criminals would be banished to, many of whom were disfigured to both punish and mark them. It has also been called Tjaru. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tjaru
Now, none of this is to say that Egyptology doesn’t suffer from immense racism, because holy shit does it ever! People have been trying to suck the colour out of Egypt for decades. There’s a great blog post about it here: http://kemetexpert.com/race-theory-racism-and-egyptology/ and the rest of the blog is worth checking out too for a perspective that centers Egypt’s Africanness.
I’m by no means an expert on this subject, and I welcome corrections :) This post touched on something I’ve thought about before, and it inspired a handful of hours of research on my part (I miss being a student and having access to more and better sources!). – – – – – – – TL;DR: While we are indeed taught a racist perspective of ancient Egypt, the missing noses is not necessarily a major part of that. There are a number of contributing factors in the chronic noselessness we’ve come to know and hate.
Pro tip: they do understand, they just don’t care.
“They shouldn’t feel like they’re being punished for being a girl.”
“Pine Ridge Indian Reservation, S.D. ― Dominique Amiotte, 17, always makes sure to keep a few extra tampons in her locker. It’s not much, but it’s enough to encourage at least some of her struggling friends to come to school when they have their periods.
About half of Amiotte’s girlfriends can’t afford tampons or sanitary pads. As a result, when they menstruate, they’ll skip school for as long as a week. This can lead them to fall behind in class, contributing to the already abysmal graduation rates on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation. There are no official records on how many of the young women at the reservation’s 13 schools have felt the consequences of this issue, but individuals we spoke to say it’s an inescapable part of everyday life.
“It makes me angry,” Amiotte told HuffPost unflinchingly while seated in an empty classroom at the Crazy Horse School, where there are 70 girls enrolled in middle or high school classes.”

If you think like that, please don’t ever have children.
Listen, my parents installed a lock on my door so I could lock everyone out of my room if I wanted to at sometime around 8 years old. They had a key of course for safety but they’ve never had to use it and they’ve never used it when they didn’t have to.
I was allowed full access to any books, movies, and internet I wanted fully informed about our family beliefs and practices but I was given no supervision once I reached about 13 because my parents trusted me to stick to the rules or not as I felt and come to them if there was anything that I had questions about.
As long as I said where I was going, who I was with, and when I was going to be back and then phone if anything changed I was allowed to do pretty much as I pleased from 13 onward.
I moved back in with my parents after university and the first conversation we had was my dad telling me that if I felt like they were treating me like a child to please tell them because they had no intention of doing so.
I still live with them and I’m comfortable here as an adult. When I eventually move out again, which I feel no rush to do because I feel respected and given more than enough elbow room, I will probably talk to them often if not everyday. Because they’ve always respected my privacy and my autonomy both physically and emotionally. If you want an independent and fictional child trusting them and giving them their space will do you many more favours than not.
meanwhile, my parents…
password protected my computer so i had to get permission every time i wanted to use it
put a passcode lock on our pantry so we couldn’t eat without permission
regularly checked our internet browsing history
shut off the internet at regular intervals, including when i needed it for university homework
did monthly checks of our bank statements and would confiscate money if they didn’t approve of our activities
in response, i went behind their backs and opened a new bank account, got a secret job, bought my own groceries, and used the wifi from the school across the street. they didn’t succeed in disciplining me. all they did was force me to distance myself from them.
your children are not your property. they are human beings, and they deserve basic human rights.
toooooo real
when my sister was like 11 or 12 a group of older boys cat called her and she told them to fuck off and they chased her for blocks until she ran into a police precinct for safety. this shit is not a joke. cat calling is a threat.
"but you don't look sick 🤔"
Maybe I'm Faking it, maybe its Maybelline
If you haven’t checked out the tag #abledsareweird on Twitter you definitely should
After 14 years of being diabetic, I’m real sick of this.
We overwork people, and liberal response is
Overwork children so they’re more used to it as adults
This is an odd way to say ‘kids operate differently than robots and we don’t like that.’
I just read an essay about how one of the worst things a women can do publicly is eat (especially alone), because it shows that women have desires that benefit them (and only them) personally, which is viewed as selfish. So the act of women eating in horror movies (sometimes cannibalistically ala raw) is either empowering or horrifying depending on the audience it’s presented to.
anyway just read There’s Nothing Scarier Than a Hungry Woman I was losing my mind over it at work
