WHY DO WE NEVER TALK ABOUT THE FACT THAT FOR THE PAST 15 YEARS IN A SMALL TOWN IN ALASKA THE MAYOR HAS BEEN A CAT 

mAYOR STUBBS

 ”He doesn’t raise our taxes - we have no sales tax. He doesn’t interfere with business,” said Lauri Stec “He’s honest.”

and he oNLY drinks water from a wine glass

A town decided that a cat would be a better mayor than people

“He’s good, probably the best we’ve had,”

syliar said: No

it essentially comes down to the fact that I don't particularly want to be treated differently because of the genitalia I happened to be born with. better or worse.

"why the girls gotta get the pink sunglassess? the boys got in too;" -- only 1/3rd boys get in right now. college/university is a woman's world.

*shrug* sure, although not so much with tech schools. still, that sounds like more reason to be uncomfortable.like i’m conflicted, it’s nice gesture but it feels like “congratulations, you got into a tech school and you have a vagina!” I don’t want to be congratulated for getting into GT because I am a woman, i’d rather be congratulated because I am a person who got into the school. 

and I would understand being told to just appreciate them, but do you see how they feel sorta demeaning?

when i was 6 years old i was being babysat by some girls down the street and they were talking about their friend who got pregnant and I was like “what’s pregnant” and they were like “it means fat” so when i got in the car with my dad to go home i was like “dad, i’m pregnant” and he hit he breaks and looked at me so mortified for about 5 minutes and then said “rin you’re fucking six years old” and then kept driving

so georgia tech sent out pink sunglasses to all of their female acceptees and it makes me conflicted because sure they're encouraging women engineers or something but like why the girls gotta get the pink sunglassess? the boys got in too; it's not like it's a bigger accomplishment for women? and why they gotta be pink?

In Norwegian, you don’t refer to your romantic partner as a “boyfriend” or “girlfriend”. You say “kjæreste”, which is gender neutral and literally translates to “the dearest”.

[matildathedragonfly]

and in swedish you refer to your boyfriend/girlfriend by saying ”älskling” which translates into ”my beloved one” 

[mustaleski-deactivated20161212]

And in Finnish we say “mulkvisti” which means “one I don’t hate as much as the others”

tHIS IS THE YEAR WOMEN FINALLY SAID “FUCK YOU” TO SEXISM

YOU GO , GIRL.

[thinkspeakstress-blog-blog]

To be white, or straight, or male, or middle class is to be simultaneously ubiquitious and invisible. You’re everywhere you look, you’re the standard against which everyone else is measured. You’re like water, like air. People will tell you they went to see a “woman doctor” or they will say they went to see “the doctor.” People will tell you they have a “gay colleague” or they’ll tell you about a colleague. A white person will be happy to tell you about a “Black friend,” but when that same person simply mentions a “friend,” everyone will assume the person is white. Any college course that doesn’t have the word “woman” or “gay” or “minority” in its title is a course about men, heterosexuals, and white people. But we call those courses “literature,” “history” or “political science.” This invisibility is political.

I personally think it’s important to talk about Bieber’s arrest.

An underaged, drunk driving, arrest-resisting, foreign white boy was released on bond. 

Then take a moment to think about the brown boys who are deported for much, much less and the black boys who are shot or beaten to within an inch of life for resisting arrest.

#STILL THE BEST JOKE ON HIMYM EVER

[whitechink-blog]

today my friend Annie was sitting on the floor and another friend didn't see her and walked into her and then he was like "Annie are you okay?" and I hAD TO BURST INTO SONG

[sanctimonious-virgins]

Awesome protests erupted in my school today. Our student council planned a “fun” game for valentines day. They handed out paper hearts to every girl at the beginning of the day. Only the girls. If a girl speaks to a guy through the duration of the day, she has to give him her heart. Guys get five raffle tickets for every heart they collect. Girls cannot collect hearts, they only have one to give away, and guys do not have to give away anything. A gay male asked for a heart to give away to participate and was told no.

Some girls have taken this as an invitation to say things such as, quoted from twitter, “keeping the whores from talking today haha.” And boasting about “keeping their heart and not being a whore.” This has turned into an excuse to shame each other for talking to guys. And for what? A valentines game?

Rather than writing their names on the hearts and giving them away, many girls have written notes of protest on the paper hearts and are wearing them proudly as they associate with whoever they please and refuse to give the heart away.

Proud of some of the people in my school today.

[davekat-deactivated20130315-dea]

males are rewarded for collecting female “hearts” and are encouraged to collect as many as they possibly can, but females are only allowed to have one heart to give away, and when they give it away they’re not allowed to play anymore

the correlation of “hearts” to how virginity/sex is treated in society is kind of eerie and definitely sexist

[curefloraofficialarchives]

This is a really big deal! My elementary had us do this for Valentine’s Day one year. Girls were given a prize if they kept theirs, boys were given a prize if they got one. The boys would harass us - verbally, getting into our personal space, or pulling our hair - until we told them to stop and then they would get to take the heart. A lot of us were pretty mad about it at the time, and now that I see the implications of it, I’m even angrier.
