i spent a lot of today thinking about how thanksgiving is maybe the most american holiday: -shitting on indigenous peoples while pretending not to
-puritanical protestantism normalized as secular and/or areligious behavior (“giving thanks”)
-conspicuous consumption
all the while reinforcing…
happy Thanksgiving america

ATIAC will return on Monday, November 21st.
You are really quite attractive and you smell like fresh jasmine and elderberries.
Thank you for existing. I love you.

I don’t know about you, but when I was a kid, we didn’t have XBoxes and PS3s and DSs and iPods and the Internet and we weren’t so afraid of pedophiles, so we played outside our houses. With each other. In groups, even. Like, we went over to our friends’ houses, and ate whatever their parents made us for lunch. We didn’t even have to call. All we had...

ok yes, that woman had cancer.
when i asked “who could abort this” i wasnt asking exclusively about THAT situation. i’m still against abortion, but think about it. every 10 week old baby looks like that. how many of those lives are killed daily… too many.
And how many women are killed daily due to unsafe/illegal abortion? 70,000 around the world every year. There...

This is a quote from a BBC news article that discusses this statement “People should be signed off for long-term sickness by an independent assessment service and not GPs”.
The quote is a stand alone paragraph and suggests that physical health is the only...
pastthestorm asked: I sent a message to the asshat bullying Sabby Vanity. I guess I can understand where he's coming from--I think he might see SV as a threat to the legitimacy of his own trans male identity--but that degree of bullying is just not OK! Sabby Vanity is 13. He's still figuring shit out.
name-redacted-deactivated201304 asked: I have FEELINGS about this whole Sabby Vanity thing. Regardless, the fact that there are people like you in the world gives me HOPE, and I wanted to say thank you.
Anonymous asked: this makes me terrified to come out to people as transgender. I don't know exactly 'what' I am - genderqueer, or bigender, or ftm... I'm 17. I can't believe someone that has the bravery to claim their identity, that a person that's a part of the transgender community would actually do this. Maybe they're questioning. Maybe they aren't in the place in their...
All the people bullying Sabby Vanity are making me...
Yeah, be a dick to a 13 year old boy because he doesn’t know all the trans* terminology, hope you’re fucking proud of yourself. The fact he’s said over and over that he’s a boy clearly means nothing to you, and you’re just clinging to the tiny bit of power you get from making someone say “I don’t know”.
Alright.
b3hr:
So I just sent “Sabby Vanity” a message saying this:
I really would love to discuss your life choices with you, rather than having random people on tumblr attack me for my opinion. I’ve done a lot of research on you, and it seems to be that you are more genderqueer than FtM. If you don’t know what genderqueer means, I would love to explain it. I guess my point is that I don’t quite...
Ageism
missvoltairine:
Ageism = children (especially non-white children) being seen as cheap, exploitable labour, and often being forced into this position by adults.
Ageism = children and elderly people (especially non-white and/or dis/abled children and elderly people) being seen as acceptable, accessible targets for violence and sexual abuse.
Ageism = part of misogyny, when womens’ relevance is...

It’s a Dress, Not a Yes
[TW FOR RAPE, VICTIM BLAMING]
“It’s a dress, not a yes,” is a rallying cry at the SlutWalk marches, which demand an end to rape and victim blaming. The movement started in January 2011, when a Toronto constable warned students that to avoid getting raped they shouldn’t dress like sluts. Within months, anti-rape activists began taking to the streets in...

pause the defensiveness for just one minute.
Replace the word “animal” with “fetus” in all of the arguments listed.
YOu can not deny that those arguments now look almost verbatim like anti-choice rhetoric.
The fact is, a lot of vegans want to ignore ALL factors that can prevent a person from being vegan, like class (and all the things that involves like living in a...
