Dildology is a brand new non-profit organization that will send sex toys to labs to have them independently tested. With this, there will finally be some accountability within the sex toy industry, and we’ll have a much better idea which manufacturers to trust — and which to side-eye.

To remain unaffiliated and unbiased, Dildology won’t be able to sell advertising space. So, peeps, raise your ~~glass~~ dollars and donate in memory of:

Packaging that lies to our faces, calling things “high grade silicone” and “medical grade material” when they are not

That time one of my old cock rings bled THROUGH A PLASTIC BAG and onto a Jimmyjane cord

Having to crowdsource to figure out what a material even is

All the times a reviewer has accepted as fact that sex toys stink, taste gross, and cause a burning sensation

Read the rest on my blog: Once and for all: what’s in our sex toys? » Hey Epiphora

OMG THIS IS A GREAT IDEA!

SIGNAL. BOOOOOOOOOOOST.

“It’s sort of like if you have two kids, and you give one of them a cookie and the other one half a cookie. Then you give the kid with half a cookie another half a cookie to make it even, and the kid with the whole cookie starts to scream about how it’s not fair that the second kid got ‘two cookies’.”

Pelosi Backs Bill That Would Raise Minimum Wage To $10 An Hour

Pelosi Backs Bill That Would Raise Minimum Wage To $10 An Hour:

obscenepromqueen:

stfuconservatives:

Yes! I was really concerned that after the SOTU excitement died down, lawmakers would forget about the minimum wage thing. Pelosi and two other Dems are backing a bill that would make the minimum wage $10.10 an hour and index it to inflation in the future. HUGE deal.

I mean

If you account for inflation and productivity increases, it should ACTUALLY be more like $22 an hour bare minimum to meet cost of living

but it’s definitely better than nothin.

cutietown:

satire is humorous social critique that speaks truth to power

calling a nine-year-old girl a sexualized, misogynistic slur is not satire.

specifically, a nine-year-old Black girl, who has already had to endure months of the racist media belittling her beautiful given name, and undermining her magnificent performance and her obvious genius as a child actor.

who could be more vulnerable?

what could be less funny?

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.

lilgodzilla:

faineemae:

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.

“

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.

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?
