I'm taking a year off next year...
So I’ve made the decision to take a year off next year to study for my LSAT’s and travel, and I realized that I would really enjoy traveling from each major Occupy city and getting involved in each protest there, seeing what individual needs each city has, and if there is a demographic shift between each one. It really interests me, but I need the money and the place to stay. Not to...

So you know that post going around of a Westboro...
pompadoursandpincurls: and everyone’s like OMGZ WE CAUGHT YOU, YOU HYPOCRITE. But I can’t help but think Watching Glee does not by any means make you a social justice activist or mean that you’re not a queer/trans-hating asshole.  That show is pretty fucking offensive sometimes and often perpetuates stereotypes/racism/sexism/cissexism/heterosexism/normativity (and this is coming from someone...

Valkyrie: No Flat Girls: How Allies are Born... →
paxvalkyrie: (This is a guest post.) This is a story about gamer culture, casual sexism, the silence of friends, and its fallout - more or less in that order. Firstly, context. I’m a recent graduate working as a game designer for a social games startup in New York City, and I identify strongly with other… Amazing piece.

Self harm is not a trend, anorexia is not a phase,...
I was just discussing with someone near, “would you think I was a coward if I died right now?” I think that’s the saddest part about committing suicide. Most times people don’t realize it as something that a person in a lot of pain does. Usually people just say, “oh, they gave up” or they were “cowards,” but no one ever just sits down and mourns the...

thedailywhat: Follow Up of the Day: Last night, FOX 25’s “undercover reporter” Mike Beaudet made every effort to excuse his shameless smear campaign against popular Mystic Valley Regional Charter School English dept. chair Kevin Hogan. Hogan, it seems, stared in three gay porn movies while in between teaching jobs last year. Despite the fact that Hogan hasn’t starred in any adult films this...

bullshittery: Why this joke is all kinds of wrong. →
epic-fantasy: I’m sure most of us have seen this photograph floating around the internet and perhaps gotten a laugh or two. Personally, it took me the longest time to even get the joke, but when I did, I laughed…at the ignorance behind it. Many wheelchair users are quite capable of…
