The questions that the Catholic Church wishes it...
atheismfuckyeah:
On the anniversary of the Pope’s visit to Britain, the Catholic Church has been trying to spin it as having been a grand success that brought Catholics flocking back to church and had a profound effect on the religious attitudes of the population at large. In short, we’re a better and more moral country because of the pope’s little outing.
In fact, 29% of those who were...

A woman being told she’s unworthy because her body measures do not fulfil someone else’s sexual desires is like a public toilet in a summer festival: taking so much shit from the world it hurts.

Feeling bad
alielke:
Due to an incredibly long shift today, I ended up going home in perhaps not the greatest of moods, maybe things would have played out slightly different if I’d been more cheerful or patient, but I wasn’t, so this happened.
It was about 11 at night, and I was sat at a bus stop with maybe three other people, when an older guy, possibly drunk, comes over to me and started telling me about...

Someone from my community in Port Townsend, WA needs help and I feel like it’s a worthy cause-
Two weeks ago, Nicholas “Hunter” Davis, 26, of Portland, Oregon, collapsed at work with a seizure. An ambulance was called and he was rushed to the hospital. The next day he was diagnosed with a life threatening glioblastoma brain tumor. He was given a life expectancy of 18 months. As...

I am not Troy Davis.
littleorphanammo:
On the one hand I think it’s interesting and hopeful that white people (because POC don’t need another lesson) are personally identifying with the horrific injustice of Mr. Davis’ case, and that they are mobilizing. That they are recognizing how racially unequal the justice and prison system is, in general. For every Troy Davis we hear about there are hundreds and thousands...

on the one hand, i agree that it’s not a great idea to go sweeping into a room of the unenlightened and say ‘i’m not a feminist’ because then they get the idea that you’re a patriarchy-lovin’ woman-hatin’ one-of-them and just no

We are going into a difficult day. The state of Georgia is about to do something horrific. It is prepared to kill a person who may well be innocent. However, we have not been sitting quietly by here in Atlanta and everywhere worldwide.
