baddominicana:
its white-logic to assume than in a world as UNEQUAL as this,
somehow attention and care should go around “equally”.
attention and care should go to the most downtrodden first, with the comfiest all the way at the end of the line.
that is fair and logical given reality.
but then how could you be the comfiest and also recieve the greatest lot of resources?
fuck everyone so...
Dumb Things White People Say: Dear White Women, →
zorascreation:
Many Women of Color have called you out on your whitewashing of their issues in relation to racial injustice and how it affects things central to women’s experiences across the planet. Many of you have learned from these experiences about how to navigate your White Privilege…

Seriously, fuck 'right to work' laws
anticapitalist:
Can we call it the ‘right to suck corporate dick’ law instead, because that’s what it is.

– Eugene Robinson in his column, Rick Santorum could take Republicans down with him - The Washington Post
Two observations on this:
1) Eugene Robinson is absolutely right that “this is not customary fodder for a presidential campaign.” It is also dangerous fodder and the fact that it’s gone as far...

“The abolition of existing property relations is not at all a distinctive feature...”
– Karl Marx (via guerrillanetwork)
I think this gets at the critical insight that I took from studying Marx - our social relations were radically different in the past, and there is no reason to expect that they wont be radically different in the future. The temptation to view the status quo as...

Whiteness, modern White Supremacy, and the behavior they produce all revolve around a White Identity Crisis that’s been occurring since the Civil War, which is the fucking heart of this issue (the Identity Crisis, I mean). Pre-Civil War,...

Except it does.
Racism can potentially exist in some capacity against white people, and sexism can potentially exist in some capacity against men. Guess what? It doesn’t right now

Racism: [n]: a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

Denying that sexism can exist towards men and racism can exist towards whites makes you a shitty person.
says the white man
Sexism and racism can only come from places of power. Sure, marginalized people can be prejudiced, but without the societal power, it is not sexism or racism.

End the Use of "Ex Gay" Ministries on Minors --... →

gaychristian submitted:
I am truly sorry if this is not of interest to you,as I don’t mean to bother you, but I’m sure you have heard of “Ex-Gay” Ministries(such as Exodus International).
In short, they aim to “cure” homosexuality by prayer and/or “reparative therapy”. Often this leads to severe mental and emotional damage and it has been condemned by the American...
The Republican War on Contraception - Not... →
Last year was not a great one for abortion rights. First, congressional Republicans attempted to deny statutory rape victimsaccess to Medicaid-funded abortions (twice). Then GOP-dominated state legislatures pushed record numbers of laws limiting abortion rights, including proposals that could have treated killing abortion providers as “justifiable homicide.”
Yet in the past six months, social...

oldpossumsbookofpracticalcats:
I went in the forest to look for a sign
Fortune to tell and thought to refine;
My green valentine, my green valentine,
What do I know of my green valentine? I found a strange wild leaf on a vine
Shaped like a heart and green as was mine,
My green valentine, my green valentine,
How did I use…
