The funniest anti-abortion argument is “what if you were aborted”
How the hell would anyone have anything even vaguely resembling a concept of what that would be like
WHAT IF YOU NEVER EXISTED?!
I dunno, then I’d never exist and I wouldn’t have any particular opinions about it?
In case there's still any confusion about this
I don’t think hitting kids is okay.
I don’t think that you’re OMG A HUGE RACIST if you’re not down with corporal punishment or that ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR HIT THEIR KIDS (I am living evidence of this not being the case).
I just think when we’re talking about how to be a good parent we need to be mindful of a) how deviant forms of parenthood are racialized, b) where...

There are a lot of posts I keep seeing today about spanking kids as a form of punishment.
Did something happen to start this conversation, or…?
Oh Tumblr.

i have/my blogs has these days too.
Earlier today someone made a DV joke on Facebook about Rihanna collaborating with Chris Brown and I just about lost it so I have just been in a pissy mood today T_T.
HOW TO PISS OFF PEOPLE BASED ON THEIR ZODIACS →
Taurus – Hide or damage their valuables. Use their stuff without first asking permission. Take their money. Starve them. Give them food that looks, tastes or smells unpleasant. Give them a gaudy or cheap gift.
I feel like any of these things would piss off just about anyone. Especially starvation.

Rachel, this is not okay. Neither of those are representative of how awesome Tarantino is. You should watch Pulp Fiction or Kill Bill, for reals
I knoooowwww I have wanted to watch Pulp Fiction for a while but never gotten around to it.

“Gabrielle Rivera, a Latina, lesbian poet in the Bronx, did a wonderful video....”
– Dan Savage, in an interview with Mother Jones (available here)
Does that last bit seem weird to anyone else? Like, “here, let me translate this for you”? She flat out said it doesn’t get better, which honestly it doesn’t for everyone o_O.

If you accept an organ from someone who isn’t Straight Edge you are an Edge Breaker. Die for your beliefs.

If you claim to be Straight Edge or ‘drug free’ and abuse your body with prescription medication, for headaches, stomach pains, anything, you are lying to yourself and devaluing the true meaning of Straight Edge. Keep that impure, industrialized, fabricated, shit, out of your body. You fake edge, drug abuser. Your dependency on medication shows your lack of dedication to the Straight...
Saying that I don’t think cis hetero people should use the word ‘queer’ = lose a bunch of followers
Posting a picture of condoms = gain a bunch of followers
I see your priorities, Tumblr XD

‘Queer’ is a slur.
Taking on ‘queer’ as an identity means recognizing that it is a slur and trying to reclaim that. Just… be careful how you use it :-/
It’s not a neutral apolitical word.
I’m really frustrated that this is something that keeps having to be said. When people take the word “queer” and say “okay so this actually just means ‘Other’ or ‘non-normative’...
Just, okay.

Honestly, at first I bought into the whole EVERYTHING IS A -PHOBIA AND X PRIVILEGE KIND OF SITUATION.

3dela said: for a lot of people in the lqbtq community, using “queer” is very empowering. at my univ., we voted to rename our lgbtq group the “Queer & Ally Student Assembly” and many of my friends prefer “queer” over terms like “bisexual” or “lesbian”
Of course. That’s what reclaiming is. But that doesn’t make it a politically neutral term that everyone is or should be...

damn you didn’t mince words on that one — alternately, it’s the label of the ace community i get the least because 50% of my friends also feel that way about sex? without finding it sufficiently odd or marginalized to identify as demi?
