if fair was fair....
baddominicana:
being whites are only 40% of the U.S. population right now,
everyone all over the media and running orgs and government would be 60% POC.
thats right, everywhere you look, there should be 6/10 POC. always.
meanwhile, absolutely everything continues to be white-washed and white-centered and when we complain they add some token,
and when we make our own media they claim...

Now watching my SECOND playthrough of Amnesia: The...
I just can’t get enough of hearing gamer guys screaming at the top of their lungs because they’re terrified while playing this computer game! Something about their helpless gibbering terror just makes me laugh SO HARD.
…..possibly this is a Bad Sign, but OH WELL

Anonymous asked: I'm going to the local kink meetup tonight, and I wanted to know if you had any advice for first-time attenders?
Anonymous asked: I'm glad to hear you are doing well in that regard. I have no interest in additional friendships as well. While I have no problems with you, I currently lack the mental capacity to adequately nurture new friendships. I just didn't want you to get the wrong idea about my intentions. I simply would like your advice and opinion on my situation. I cannot reveal to you who I am. What would be...

Anonymous asked: I would like to ask you if you might know why activities like feminization, 'sissification' or general erotic humiliation through feminizing someone have always been around and sometimes quite popular, but there doesn't seem to have any equivalent for the opposite side? I have never heard of anyone eroticising the idea a FAAB/CAFAB or female-identified individual being forced to...
Anonymous asked: I am someone that has done a bad job of being a friend to you, and I am pretty sure I made you feel alienated and even hurt by my lack of communication, despite us never being very close. I am in a situation where I don't know what to do. I know no one else but you to go to for advice on these topics (BDSM and polyamory), but I feel guilty and wrong to approach you about it given my failures...

The Bechdel Test and Race in Popular Fiction
crystalsavestheday:
1. It has to have two POC in it.
2. Who talk to each other.
3. About something other than a white person.
No Joss Whedon show passes, neither does Supernatural, or Being Human.
Veronica Mars passes, but doesn’t pass the original Bechdel Test.
Check out a few more here.

I intensely crave seafood whenever I watch David Attenborough documentaries about ocean life. Awkward.

A while ago
missvoltairine:
I ended a friendship that meant a lot to me, because the other person has some pretty serious trauma/mental health issues going on.
Without going into, you know, any identifying details: I had stuck by this person though a bunch of shit that was really traumatizing for them, made myself available to them for unconditional support, etc. And we were really close friends and they...

What Lot's Wife Would Have Said (If She Wasn't A...
eating-poetry:
Do you remember when we met in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless, and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing you, when we were young, and blushed with youth like bruised fruit. Did we care then what our neighbors did in the dark?
When our first daughter was born on the River Jordan, when our second cracked her pink head from my body like a promise, did...

Yo, don’t try your bullshit divide and conquer tactics with me.
Anonymous asked: Hey there! You had mentioned to another Anon before that you were reading a book/books on recovering from/learning about child sexual abuse and had mentioned that the books would likely be useful to people who had dealt with other forms of sexual abuse/abuse in general. I checked, but couldn't find anywhere you had posted these books. Would you be comfortable sharing these titles, as...

yesterday
charthebutcher:
Boy and I are standing on the sidewalk. Two people walk by. One mutters to the other: “Cheap ass fruit.” Boy looks taken aback, face all screwed up into a “What? Seriously?” expression. Then we realize we are actually standing in front of the markdown bin of a produce stand.

A New Policy Against Self-Harm Blogs
catamite:
therapsida:
staff:
One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some...

Supreme Court to Reconsider Affirmative Action Law →
joemccarthyblues:
In our gradual slide to a dystopia reminiscent of the 1930s, the Supreme Court is asking itself once again, what’s so special about being a PoC in this day and age and why should we care?
It is evident that in the mindset of many Americans, we are in a post racial society simply because the right wing has veiled their language targeting primarily blacks and latinos. They...
