Which is why I’m pro-life
What about the right to food? The right to shelter? The right to not have your freedom restricted to pad the dividends of the Prison-Industrial Complex? The right to make informed choices about contraception, pregnancy, and birth without being subject to domestic terrorism? The right to opt out of parenthood if you know you are unprepared, unfit, dangerous, or simply not ready? The right to an education that nurtures your particular strengths and skills? The right to safe, clean, legal abortion?
These people aren’t advocating for “life.” They are advocating a political strategy that stigmatizes a legal medical procedure in order to punish those they see as sexually transgressive with either death or the financial instability that follows from a lack of reproductive choice. This will never be about life and it will always be about a longing for despotic control of people’s lives by starving them of reproductive freedom.
JUST SO WE’RE CLEAR.

Ugh where was this for me to parade around every time an old person/asshole has told me that the music I listen to is trash and doesn’t involve real talent?!

“I like that I stick out. I was watching ‘Valentine’s Day’ on the plane recently. I have a tiny part in that movie. I was watching all the women — Jessica Biel, and Emma Roberts, and Jennifer Garner and Julia Roberts. They are gorgeous women, and I don’t want to take anything away from them, but they all do have a very classical look, with a very thin nose. I’m watching this parade of these faces and then, boom, it was my face, and I was taken aback. I was like, ‘Oh, my nose is so big!’ I have never in my life thought I had a big nose, but, well, there it was. The first time I was on TV, on ‘Flight of the Conchords,’ someone put up a YouTube clip and said, ‘You’re too ugly to be on TV.’ And I was like, ‘That is exactly why it’s a good thing that I’m on TV.’”

How creationists view evolution
What, do you mean to imply that snails HAVEN’T evolved jets and that this is fake? Darwin predicted this in Origin of Species, didn’t he?

Sad but true Abortion has killed 14 million black babies since 1970.
Somehow this was considered to be a racist billboard and taken down even though what they’re saying is true.
Really? Because I thought the most dangerous place for African Americans is ON THE FUCKING STREETS WHERE THEY GET SHOT AND BEAT UP BY COPS FOR NO FUCKING REASON OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT THEY’RE EXISTING WHILE BEING BLACK. OR HOW ABOUT THE FACT THAT COPS BREAK INTO BLACK PEOPLE’S HOMES AND FUCK THEIR SHIT UP UNDER FALSE ALARMS. But hey, what do I know? I’m only an innocent little Black girl who doesn’t know any better.
All of the awards.
Isn’t it interesting how pro-life conservatives suddenly give a fuck about black people when they’re useful for pushing a state-sanctioned, forced pregnancy agenda? But once that child is born, you’re on your own Ms. Welfare Queen. /sarcasm
Stop killing black babies! The cops are running out of punching bags.

As a woman, I feel continually shhh’ed. Too sensitive. Too mushy. Too wishy washy. Blah blah. Don’t let someone steal your tenderness. Don’t allow the coldness and fear of others to tarnish your perfectly vulnerable beating heart. Nothing is more powerful than allowing yourself to truly be affected by things. Whether it’s a song, a stranger, a mountain, a rain drop, a tea kettle, an article, a sentence, a footstep…feel it all – look around you- all of this is for you. Take it and have gratitude. Give it and feel love.
Teen Pop and the Culture of Purity (via sparkamovement)
(via nataliethehuman)
Beauty and purity go hand in hand, and are tied up in a false sense of modesty. This type of attractiveness comes from being white, virginal, conventionally attractive and actively or deliberately ignorant of meeting that standard of attractiveness. It comes from needing to be seen as beautiful even “without any makeup on” but in “skin-tight jeans” if you’re Katy Perry, from Bruno Mars ‘knowing’ that “when I compliment her, she won’t believe me,” and in reminding a boy that he should be dating a girl who isn’t a shallow hussy, if you’re Taylor Swift.
All of this encourages girls to constantly strive to meet an arbitrary standard of attractiveness that fuels multiple industries (dieting and cosmetics, primarily) while reminding them that their job is to be appealing to men but never to admit that they’re trying to be good-looking for men, and never admit that they look good – especially if they’re not skinny or white. It creates a maelstrom of unhealthy attitudes about girls’ bodies and sexuality. Girls must be all things: attractive and unknowing, winking about sex and flaunting their sexuality but never expressing desire or – worse – actually having sex, and presenting their bodies as sexually available while deriding those girls whose sex lives are more active than their own. They must do all this while being straight, slender and white and preferably blonde or they’re not really even in the game to begin with.
