In a private cemetery in small-town Arkansas, a woman single-handedly buried and gave funerals to more than 40 gay men during the height of the AIDS epidemic, when their families wouldn’t claim them. -Source

One person who found the courage to push the wheel is Ruth Coker Burks. Now a grandmother living a quiet life in Rogers, in the mid-1980s Burks took it as a calling to care for people with AIDS at the dawn of the epidemic, when survival from diagnosis to death was sometimes measured in weeks. For about a decade, between 1984 and the mid-1990s and before better HIV drugs and more enlightened medical care for AIDS patients effectively rendered her obsolete, Burks cared for hundreds of dying people, many of them gay men who had been abandoned by their families. She had no medical training, but she took them to their appointments, picked up their medications, helped them fill out forms for assistance, and talked them through their despair. Sometimes she paid for their cremations. She buried over three dozen of them with her own two hands, after their families refused to claim their bodies. For many of those people, she is now the only person who knows the location of their graves.

How have I never heard of this?

People like her should be remembered. And even more importantly, we must remember that there was a time in our history when we needed someone like her.

WTF I LIETERALLY THOUGHT IT WAS ABOUT DOGS UNTIL NOW I AM 20 YEARS OLD

[misslunarlight]

of course it was, why would he actually sing about real dogs and why they got out

[fandomcollector-deactivated2014]

No it isn’t. It’s actually talking about the men who predate upon women in clubs, calling them dogs, not ‘ugly women’. Just look at the lyrics:

And tell the fellas stop the name callin’ Yepee ah yo Then them girls respond to the call I hear a woman shout out Who let the dogs out Woof, woof, woof, woof, woof

Or if that isn’t clear enough for you that it’s women quite clearly calling the men dogs then read this next bit:

Get back gruffy, mash scruffy Get back you flea infested mongrel Now I tell meh self dem man go get angry Ah yepee ah yo To hear them girls calling them canine

It’s saying that men who attack women for being ‘ugly’ or refuse to leave them alone are worse than stray mongrels! It plainly points out that women do not want or appreciate the attention and so taunt them with the verse of ‘who let the dogs out’ because they are both unable to control themselves and vile little creatures. Learn to do some fucking research.

It’s about how cat calling guys are awful.

Holy shit I never knew this

i’ve been a student teacher for a first grade class for two days and these are the amazing stories i have had so far. i love kids.

we have to help kids off the bus and to their classes if they’re kindergartners and don’t know where they’re going. one girl immediately reached for my hand as soon as she got off the bus and sang me the abcs and counted to 26. the highest she could go. then saw her teacher and ignored me.

all of the student teachers were waiting for the last arriving bus so we all formed a line to help the kids to their classes. upon arrival, one child immediately goes “why are they making a tunnel for us? are we famous now? i need to call my mom”

one kid didn’t have a name tag so i took him to the office to get one. the aides asked him for his name. “noah” he promptly said. “wait no. i’m david. noah is my brother.”

the teacher i observe read a book to them about a bird laying eggs. one kid raised his hand as soon as the book ended and yelled at the teacher because there was no daddy in the book and “i know how babies are made there must be a daddy”

one girl was quietly eating her snack during snack time and got up for no reason other than to come over and tell me “miss jones you are so beautiful”

the teacher tried to take a group picture on top of a climbing structure on the playground. 3+ kids fell off. they thought it was hilarious.

“miss jones do you wanna know my favoritest movie ever? avengers: age of ultron. it’s not for kids but i watched it alone so don’t tell my parents please i’ll cry”

two boys punched each other repeatedly and when asked why would you hurt each other, they quickly answered “we’re in love”

“can i call you mama cat?”

“i am your baby cat”

“meow”

Feminism has fought no wars. It has killed no opponents. It has set up no concentration camps, starved no enemies, practiced no cruelties. Its battles have been for education, for the vote, for better working conditions, for safety in the streets, for child care, for social welfare, for rape crisis centres, women’s refuges, reforms in the law. If someone says, ‘Oh, I’m not a feminist’, I ask, ‘Why? What’s your problem?’
