Omg, I'm a Ravenclaw after all~!
vladdraculea:
I finally got registered on Pottermore several days ago, and I started rereading the Harry Potter books from the beginning, so the annotations on Pottermore would make sense to me.
Of course, naturally I’d been wondering which house I’d be put in, thinking I’d love to be in Ravenclaw, but there’s no way, since I’m not that smart. That, therefore, left Hufflepuff, Gryffindor, or...

Instead of asking me, read about privilege!
wretchedoftheearth:
When someone tells you that you have privilege…
It does not mean that:
you are a bad person
you are hateful or bigoted
you cannot suffer or experience pain
you cannot also be a member of a marginalized group
you willingly exert power over a marginalized group
It does mean that:
you are a member of at least one dominant group
as a member of that dominant group, you...

I’m dead serious.
I’m a phone surveyor, and I’m actually at work right now, typing on my iPhone. I appreciate this job because it’s one of the best-paying student jobs available, but believe me, I wasn’t jumping at it, I just needed the money. I have gotten an incredible amount of abuse at this job - for merely causing them a temporary inconvenience, I’ve had people swear at me,...

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP’s War on Women*
1) Republicans not only want to reduce women’s access to abortion care, they’re actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven’t yet. Shocker.
2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of...

Media imagery of asexuality
aceupyoursleeve:
background images from articles in Nerve, Marie Claire, and Folha.
There’s been a recent discussion about the cover of a potential asexual romance anthology, The Heart of Aces. Everything has already been said, but it reminded me of something else that I wanted to do. So here’s an analysis of the imagery that the media considers appropriate to accompany articles about...

Stop CISPA Avaaz petition →
Right now, the US is poised to pass a new law that would permit US agents to spy on almost everything we do online. But we can stop them before the final vote.
Companies that we trust with our personal information, like Microsoft and Facebook, are key supporters of this bill that lets corporations share all user activity and content with US government agents without needing a warrant in the...

Fail: I guess I'm never going to wear a binder -.-
Out of curiosity, I went to T-Kindom’s website, and I even found a binder I thought I’d like, since there might be occasions when I’d like to be flat. But when I checked out their sizing chart I was amazed to see that, given my bust measurement (38 inches), I’d have to get an X-Large. However, they also list the height/weight combinations that would work for each size, but...

Dammit
aseofspades:
Long story short: I panicked when I saw someone coming towards me while fumbling to open a door and rushed inside to get away and accidently slammed the door in his face. As he came in, I heard him mutter “Real rude” and “bitch.”
It sucks being so afraid of people all the time. What did I think he was going to do once he caught up to me at the door, try to kidnap me? Letting the...

Trigger warning for rape. Also filled with anger and despair and hopeless and I know some survivors need to stay away from that. Harsh and blatant, and should be read with caution, unless you aren’t a survivor and this isn’t a trigger, in which case I couldn’t give a damn about how uncomfortable you might feel.
And this post is an explanation of why I’m suicidal now and why...

The Change.Org petition to have charges against CeCe dropped.
Reblogging again for the petition link AGAIN, because it makes me really angry that this has been going on for so long and the petition still has less than 10,000 signatures. I feel like everyone has to know about CeCe McDonald right now, but...

Gendery ramblings

This has a lot to do with the “gender is not socially constructed” conversation Greg was having… yesterday? a couple days ago? Recently.

You’re not alone in this struggle, and, speaking as an agender person myself, I don’t perceive you as coming across in the least way appropriative. In fact, I...

Afghanistan, stop abusing dancing boys! →
Target: United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton
Sponsored by: Lynn Hamilton
It seems that the US war in Afghanistan has left more than one nasty legacy. A 2010 report found that Afghanistan’s growing sexual exploitation of underage boys got its start amongst Afghanistan’s security forces—the same men who got their training and weapons from the United States.

Free thought, unless you're asexual, apparently
I know this was posted a while ago, but it’s so well written and I agree so hard, that I feel compelled to reblog it.

So I decided this and this deserved a better takedown when I’m not so fuming. No, I won’t be going back to the original thread because I think it will probably make me throw up. Yeah, I’m chickenshit, whatever.

Stop CISPA, the evil kin to SOPA/PIPA →

Dear friends,
Right now, the US Congress is sneaking in a new law that gives them big brother spy powers over the entire web — and they’re hoping the world won’t notice. We helped stop their Net attack last time, let’s do it again.
Over 100 Members of Congress are backing a bill (CISPA) that would give private companies and the US government the right to spy on any of us at any...

On accidental disclosure and being called "rude"
sidneyia:
I guess this is my first Autism Awareness Week/Month post. It’s also a temporary one. The first violent reaction I get, the first person saying “you must not really be autistic”/”autistic people aren’t rude, you’re just a bitch”, etc., away it goes. If you plan to read it, please keep in mind that I am speaking of my own experiences and not trying, in any way, to dictate anyone...
