Vaguely Interesting Story That I Can’t Say For Sure Is True: This passage was explained to me like this: “If somebody slaps you, make them slap you twice”. It wasn’t Jesus being a pansy, it was Jesus being really bitchy.
It always amuses me how much the background narrative of the New Testament gets glossed over. Yeah, it’s all about the awesome shit Jesus does, but he does it in...

The fat-shaming in the gay community sickens me.
zorascreation:
They subdivide amongst themselves and fight like hell, anyways.
But at all costs keep those “unfit fatties” far, far away. Vanity to the 11th Power. Muscles don’t last always.

inautumn-inkashmir:
and the words ‘feminists don’t really hate all men’ come up because of course we have to separate ourselves from any of the ‘crazies’ that might be around that really DO hate men, for whatever reason.
i dont hate men, but i view most men with a lot of suspicion until otherwise notified. its a fucking survival mechanism. its a survival mechanism when men tell me that i...

Y’all need to understand how DANGEROUS it is for us to allow our kids out the house even looking a LITTLE ashy/raggedy/disheveled/unkempt. It means that The People will come and take your kids from you. It means that some teacher or social worker at the school will assume that your home is a dangerous place and call DCFS on you.
Even if your kid has done nothing...

Our individual standards of healthy do not apply to everyone and our individual standards are not the same as others and other cultures. You cannot gauge someone’s...
Thank you for the inbox support people!
I’m not going to post them all but you made me feel warm fuzzies, and laugh and generally be a bit less depressed about the state of the world and I love you all <3
I’m going to be meeting with an advisor to see if what happened to me constitutes workplace harassment or bullying, which I suspect it does, in which case I may have a case.
No computer at the moment, but thank you all...
Anonymous asked: That sure is bad how your employer treated you! Have you thought losing weight though? If you're interested, I can share my diet tips with you- I lost at least a stone every month! Don't let your weight stand in the way of your dreams- make the decision today to change your life!

What kind of evil person makes someone do that to their best friend?!??
She’s quitting too though. Because we both deserve better than to work at somewhere like that. And they’re blatently going to promote the only man to the managerial role even though he doesn’t know his ass from his shoes.
Fuck everything
Thanks for the support. I need love atm.

and then said some nonsense about how I “wouldn’t fit”… Despite having worked there for over 18 months and not once has there even been any issue caused by my fatness.

hey “feminists”
if you shame a woman/girl/lady/female identified person for liking stereotypically feminine things - dresses and heels and make up and nailpolish and pink and fucking fluffy bunnies
you’re failing at feminism.

fun fact about the human body!

riverinmymind asked: youre completely right. cissexism is harmful regardless of intent. so by all means point out cis privilege; but do so in a way that doesnt attack otherwise interesting, strong discussions and thereby prevent them in the future.
Cathy Brennan Grievances Campaign
queernonymoose:
Catherine Brennan has gotten two other posts just like this one deleted by claiming it as copyrighted information.
Due to numerous grievances and complaints of stalking, mistreatment, and abuse against trans* women and their allies, I am conducting a campaign for those with similar grievances to contact the Maryland Bar Association and/or the Maryland Attorney Grievance Board.

blackamazon:
that these fools are just angry
that after all that misogyny and posturing they still can only be the real masters and raters of women on the internet
and that women they have always been told they should have dominion over tell them no
and all the folks they were told they were better than for being straight and male
the gays
the transy folks
the fat girls
the ugly girls

riverinmymind asked: i'd like to raise an issue with your comment on misianese's post. it bothered me that rather than recognizing the compelling points she brought up, you completely undermined her post by simply writing it off as cissexist bullshit. yes, her post WAS cissexist by ignoring trans* women, and I definitely think it's important to be conscious and critical of cis privilege––but...
yeezysdisciple:
so the people of A Gay A Day blocked me for calling this guy an asshole, because he seems to think that Native Americans being rightfully offended at shitty/stereotypical/simplified portrayals of Native American culture is me “just looking for prejudice that clearly never existed in the first place.” and calling out people’s bs obviously means I need to grow up.
JUST FYI, to...

You're acting all tough and haughty as though you've shed light on some poor little ignorant soul-- OH MY I NEVER UNDERSTOOD TRANSSEXUAL FOLK UNTIL YOU LAID IT OUT FOR ME.
