Area Man Considers Self Ally To Women Unless They Threaten His Status In Literally Any Way (The Onion)

PHILADELPHIA—Calling himself a “staunch supporter” of issues ranging from equal pay to reproductive rights, area man Brian MacKinnon told reporters Monday he considers himself an ally to women unless they threaten his personal status in any way whatsoever. “I would definitely describe myself as a feminist [insofar as that designation means that I don’t have to change any of my behaviors or attitudes in the slightest],” said MacKinnon, adding that as long as they don’t rise to an equal position, get promoted before he does, or even challenge him in a meeting, he regularly goes out of his way to help his female colleagues in the workplace. “We all have to do our part. When I see an injustice against a woman, I speak up about it [unless it might make me come across as weak in front of my male peers], and I will stand up for women’s progress each and every day [provided that, in the end, I still retain a level of gender-based privilege for the remainder of my life].” MacKinnon went on to say that he could not be more disappointed, at least in the company of women, that we did not elect a female president.

good. toss this trash ass year into the sun

[inkskinned]

i think this year only taught me to love the smallest things. okay. okay. so the world is trying to kill us. so the world has succeeded in a few cases.

but in the shower this morning i realized that little girls are going to dress up as ghostbusters this year for halloween. that we have a movie where women save the day and don’t need to look pretty. 

okay. so a human pile of excrement is our republican candidate. but target, lifeblood of my middle-aged mom side - target took a stand for trans rights even though they didn’t have to. ben and jerry’s came out in full and explicit support of black lives matter. small things, i think to myself. how many people stood in the florida heat to give blood in the wake of the orlando shooting. how many people donated time and money to the victims, how the hospitals refused to charge the victims. 

it’s the small things. hamilton sweeps the tony’s with a cast of diverse actors and actresses. pokemon go gives people the chance to make friends and embrace nature. disney responds to public demand, makes mulan right and promises to cast all chinese actors. 

sometimes it’s us. us, our small bodies, just little atoms of resistance, sick of the way things are going, promising ourselves to the void. my school at umass amherst responds to the idea of a clown killer by dressing up in hockey equipment and threatening to hurt anyone who would hurt us; i watch frat boys form teams to get girls home safe just in case. i watch our generation flood the streets after police killings, i watch our footprints refuse to backtrack. i watch peace rallies, christians forming protective rings around muslims praying, young girls demanding better from double standards, protests that swell the streets. 

i think: okay. the storm is trying to swallow us. but we are somehow staying. more than lighthouse, we are the waves, picking up in the face of the wind, laughing, asking the world to keep throwing things at us because we only grow, we only survive, and we still make good out of terrible; carve it out of our own bodies if we have to; but we do it.

we make good. we make good. and it’s pretty incredible.

What's happening in Puerto Rico? Why don't youse have power?

There was a fire at one of the power plants (Central Aguirre, Salinas) which took out the electricity for the entire island. (21/Sept ~2:30pm there)

The fire’s gone, but the damage it did has kept most of the country without power for 24 hrs. 

As of right now, about 20 towns have power, and certain sectors. (22/Sept ~7pm central time (i’m not in PR but maintaining myself informed through the news and my family))

The water supply has stopped in certain places too, since it runs with electricity. (21/Sept ~7pm)

The water company has put up a list of Oasis in the affected areas.  (22/Sept)

The governor has declared a state of emergency. (22/sept ~5pm there)

Police officers are directing traffic, but two have gotten hit by cars, and they’re directing traffic until 9pm since the traffic lights aren’t working. 

The public university has ceased operations until Monday.

This is how the island looked from space last night:

so there’s still more to come, but there’s more than a million people without power/electricity.

Governor just activated the National Guard (22/sept ~9:30pm there)
