White people get mad when you wear a band t shirt of a band you don’t listen to, but they’re fine with wearing headdresses from cultures they know and care nothing about.
MOST RELEVANT THING I’VE EVER HEARD
I GET MAD AT THE BAND TEE THING BUT THE HEADDRESS THING PISSES ME THE FUCK OFF CULTURAL APPROPRIATION IS NOT OK

The World Is Not Over
Lawmakers in Arizona are still pressing for a law that protects any business requiring trans customers to use a bathroom corresponding with the sex they were assigned at birth. And that gave Allyson Robinson an idea. She is the trans woman who taking on the military as executive director for OutServe-SLDN. While passing through Phoenix, she used a women’s restroom and left behind a message to Arizonans. See a photo she shared of the image above. It’s attached to a bathroom stall.

Maybe we can finally get rid of that BBC stock image of ‘veils of Muslim world’.

TW: suicide, outing
A couple of days ago, a woman game developer attempted suicide on a live video stream following internet harassment related to an Indiegogo campaign for her game. While she lay in the hospital, Destructoid writer Allistair Pinsof, in the interest of clarifying her Indiegogo “scam,” outed her as a transgender woman on his Twitter account.
[…]
Destructoid announced today that they’re docking Pinsof’s pay and putting him on a temporary leave of absence. But not firing him. I couldn’t help but remember when, less than a year ago, Destructoid writer Ryan Perez was fired for comparing you to a “booth babe.”
[…]
Pinsof put this woman’s life in danger in a real way - as she (according to his tweets) lay in a hospital bed following a suicide attempt. He still has a job. The man who called you a booth babe lost his.you know what to do, tumblr

“The song is about being violently assaulted and it made me crazy for a few years. I got really paranoid walking around at night and started feeling really unsafe. The song is more about empowering myself physically amongst a masculine power, and the hate of feeling powerless, making light of masculine physical power, making it jovial and non-threatening. I took a typically violent cultural situation and made it pop and happy.”

I reblog this every time it comes up on my dash. Such a powerful message.
I have issues with this. The representation of LGBT in the media is always an affluent, white, and usually male couple- see how Neil Patrick Harris and his fella have become the poster boys for the Gay Marriage campaigns in the US. We’re not all rich white cis men.
The representation of the ~evil~ straight couple (and I say this as a pansexual genderqueer, so I have no vested interest in exposing ””heterophobia”” lol) is, in my opinion, classist, as it presents the idea that working class families are dirty, violent, and incapable of loving their children. It’s also pretty fatphobic, as it sustains stereotypes that fat people are dirty and bad, whereas slim people (the gay couple) are clean and successful. It demonises the working class, and perpetuates the idea that to be morally wholesome, you must have a certain kind of body.There’s a lot of stuff going on in these images and it’s not just about LGBT issues.
Also notice how one of the gay men are represented as the family man and the other has the sensitive female
And yes the worst thing these parents seem to have done is being fat, apparently. It’s what the focus is on. Of course a healthy diet is always important but not eating healthy and exercising isn’t the only reason for obesecity.
Gonna quickly throw in an epic quote I found on this article.
KJKJ: Gene Roddenberry, with balls of brass, got up on national tv and said, “hey people, if a geneticist took all the best DNA from planet Earth and put it together to make the best human the world has ever seen - he wouldn’t be a white guy.”
This is why I find the casting of a white actor in this role to be so repugnant. They are not whitewashing an Asian role, they are saying that the best genetic material that the entirety of this world and it’s diversity has to offer….still comes from a white guy.

What exactly does “normal” to dark skin mean? So dark skin isn’t normal? Dove is fucked up.

this retailer sells a halal nail polish. this allows for oxygen and water to go through the nail, which makes it acceptable to wear during prayer. spread the word.
“Being a relatively modern creation, nail polish remains obviously unaddressed by early Islamic sources. But the general consensus in the Islamic community is that praying with nail polish is impermissible because of the waterproof barrier it creates on nails, which prevents the wudu ritual from being completed five times a day.” (source)

It’s support fucked up how biologists and zoologists have applied the category of “rape” on other animals like ducks and thereby naturalizing it as if the tool of power and emotional manipulation rape functions as in society can be logically applied on animals. the worst part is it’s got the whole “male animals rape because of their sexdrive and uncontrollable urges thing” which is NOT the way rape is used in society. I mean not to mention the problems of applying the already bunk modern ideological use of “sex” in mainstream biology, it’s the project of naturalizing rape in our society by going “hey animals do it too so i mean it’s sad but it happens you know” when it’s really not the same and does not work on the same grounds asdffewperferomerlklasdfkdfsij
So today Angelina Jolie had double mastectomy, which is the removal of one’s breasts, to prevent Breast cancer. So instead of praising Angelina on her bravery, men on Twitter decided to ridicule her, even calling her stupid for removing her breasts. For those of you on Tumblr that are attacking Feminists about being delusional about sexism against women and misogyny here’s your fucking proof that sexism and misogyny exists.
