strange little girl, where are you going?
My almost-blog.
Pro-tip: The vast majority of the women in the world are women of color, so if your feminism is not anti-racist, it’s oppressive towards MOST of the world’s women.

Badass Muslim Girl: When people attempt to undermine Beyonce’s empowerment and autonomy by...
When people attempt to undermine Beyonce’s empowerment and autonomy by defining her merit by what she does or wears, they’re actually reinforcing the oppressive society that dictates that everything including women and their rights are commodities and for sale and alienated from their person. This…
white feminists, PLEASE REMEMBER: just because you are for women’s empowerment does not necessarily mean you have completely shed your own racial prejudices so please curb your compulsion to police the feminist expressions of WoC because the policing often comes from a slightly less benevolent (read: patriarchal and a little racist) place.
so, have a seat.

Oh fuck of you incredibly sexist shitty organization. I’ll eat what ever the fuck I want.
EWW! EGGS ARE DISGUSTING BECAUSE PERIODS ARE DISGUSTING BECAUSE VAGINAS ARE DISGUSTING. VAGINA-HAVERS, YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES - FOR EATING CHICKEN PERIODS AND FOR HAVING PERIODS YOURSELVES.
as usual, fuck peta.
I’m so bored of hating PETA. I hate PETA so much.
Also, birds don’t menstruate, because they don’t have uteruses.
What’s more, PETA needs to step up their graphic design game…

things was dark and singular.: Scary stories to tell your kids
1. Sometimes people leave your life without a backward glance.
2. Sometimes they refuse to leave at all.
3. Sometimes, some jackass won’t stop bothering one of your best friends so you go on a road trip with JT and a hunting knife…
Guyyyyyys, you can’t go on a murder road trip without me….
You want to arm me? Good. Then arm me with a school psychologist at my school who has time to do more than test and sit in meetings about testing.
Arm me with enough counselors so we can build skills to prevent violence, have meaningful discussions with students about their future and not merely frantically adjust student schedules like a Jenga game.
Arm me with social workers who can thoughtfully attend to a student’s and her family’s needs so I. Can. Teach.
Arm me with enough school nurses so that they are accessible to every child and can work as a team with me rather than operate their offices as de facto urgent care centers.
Arm me with more days on the calendar for teaching and learning and fewer days for standardized testing.
Arm me with class sizes that allow my colleagues and I to know both our students and their families well.
Arm my colleagues and I with the time it takes to improve together and the time it takes to give great feedback to students about their work and progress.
Until you arm me to the hilt with what it will take to meet the needs of an increasingly vulnerable student population, I respectfully request you keep your opinions on schools and our safety to yourself, NRA. Knock it off.

Once again, Caucasian does not mean white, and using it to mean white is actually racist.
There are real Caucasian people who live in the Caucasus region, and they are not white.
Learn stuff!
- Difference Between White and Caucasian
- Stop using the word “Caucasian” to mean white
- White American
- Caucasian race
- “Why White People Are Called ‘Caucasian,’” (pdf)
- Caucasian is a Dirty Word.
- Who is “White”?

from what i’ve seen the tolkien fandom is handling getting a popular movie and a wave of new fangirls a lot better than the marvel fandom did
like the marvel fandom was like “you didn’t read the comics? get out of here you poser”
and the tolkien fandom is just like “COME HERE FRIENDS, WE FEAST”
THAT GIF
Well they’ve got to get girls somewhere as they certainly won’t be getting them from Tolkien’s books.

It takes but a second to replace women’s health with sexual or reproductive health. It’s really that easy… and then you aren’t erasing our trans sisters.
Trans however-they-may-apply. Trans siblings? Partners? Allies? What’s a good non-gendered term?
Is “friends” too presumptuous?
