@SuperPages @YPmobile Deceptive anti-choice ads... →
Keep up the pressure on YellowPages.com and SuperPages.com Thanks to activists like you, YellowPages.com and SuperPages.com have taken down almost all of the deceptive ads for CPCs on their sites. But we’re not at 100 percent yet. As long women continue to use YellowPages.com and SuperPages.com to find reproductive-health centers, we won’t stop until all the misleading ads are...

"Underground" Group of Cadets Say Air Force... →
steampunkanachronism: (read more of this article by clicking the title) An anonymous cadet at the US Air Force Academy (USAFA ) spoke out against alleged religious discrimination at the school last week, saying that some cadets must pretend to be evangelical Christians in order to maintain standing among their peers and superiors. In an email to the Military Religious Freedom Foundation (MRFF),...

Dumb email joke
My friend just sent me this.  It’s slightly amusing, but it has a huge mistake in it, which made it funny.  See if you notice. :) Pantyhose Riddle Q:  How many animals can you fit into a pair of ...

warrennotg: We must protect the sanctity of marriage at all cost, except for when I go cheat on my wife. Controlling the federal deficit is of utmost importance, unless we want tax cuts for the rich and two wars that aren’t paid for. Look at the media saying nasty things about Sarah Palin and Christine O’Donnell! How shameful! Now let’s get back to calling Obama a Socialist, Kenyan,...

Note the difference:
savingpaper: When a liberal votes against a defense appropriations bill, he hates the troops. When a conservative votes against a defense appropriations bill, he’s protecting the troops.

Did the Ancient Israelites Drink Beer? →
carnivaloftherandom: waifsworld: Ancient Israelites, with the possible exception of a few teetotaling Nazirites and their moms, proudly drank beer—and lots of it. Men, women and even children of all social classes drank it. Its consumption in ancient Israel was encouraged, sanctioned and intimately linked with their religion. Even Yahweh, according to the Hebrew Bible, consumed at least...

thetart: this post could not possibly be more middle of the night box wine emo: the problem with flawless godchild birthday shopping is that i inevitably see things like this and think “i can’t buy that for her, that goes on *my* gorgeous little dark haired blue eyed babies with blunt cut bangs and surly attitudes!” then i have to be a little sad because i don’t actually want raise children, i...

The Anti-Choice Hoax of the Century →
BUT IT IS A LIE THAT THE RTL WANTS FEWER ABORTIONS. PERHAPS THE MORE CORRECT NAME FOR THEM IS ‘RIGHT TO LIE’. How can I say that? RTLs need abortion the way fire fighters need fires. Picketing an abortion clinic to try to stop abortions is as effective as picketing an airport to try to get more people to vacation locally. It’s all show. And it is a cruel, bullying, vicious, smug and...

caramelbaloney: ryking: … Too frequently, the words “privilege” and “derailing” are thrown out to avoid addressing valid points and questions (though certainly not all points are valid). However, I’m unclear what that issue has to do with the first paragraph. The post is tagged “privilege myth”, so if the…

– - A summary of what every girl that doesn’t want to have children goes through. This is an example of how women in society are thought to be only for reproduction. Some may say this statement is radical thinking. It’s not. If you’ve ever been the girl/woman that doesn’t want to have kids, you are...

Shell from Gaza explodes between nurseries →
A mortar shell fired from Gaza exploded between two day-care centers in a southern Israeli kibbutz. The shell landed Wednesday morning shortly before the children were supposed to arrive. Several teachers were in the buildings at the time of the attack. There were no injuries, though one of the buildings reportedly sustained damage.  It was the third rocket fired from Gaza in the past three...

cuntofdoom: The thread was getting too long to reblog, so I’ll just put my two cents here. Classism and ablism are some of the main things that totally alienate me from the vast majority of animal rights groups I’ve encountered (aka all of them) despite the fact that I am a vegan and believe in animal…

Just a heads up for those who use the “it’s not like they allow churches to be built over there” point for this ongoing Ground Zero Mosque discussion. We even have Mormon churches here in Qatar.

We even have Mormon churches here in Qatar. You lose, sorry.  And from experience of living in Saudia Arabia, most expats live in compounds and their rules are usually different than those of the locals. So they have churches or...

I'm so scared of pressing send.
ihatethismess: I’m talking about this. Anyways, Amandaw gave me some great advice but I’m still nervous. Talking about racism talks so much out of me. I get really anxious. My motives are questioned, I’m politely being insulted, my feelings are being ignored etc etc. I don’t know why anyone would think POC enjoy trying to talk about race when things like this happen. It’s not right that we have...

Netherlands to Close Prisons: Not Enough Criminals →

They may have trouble wrapping their little brains around this: The Dutch government is getting ready to close eight prisons because...

I feel I should have accomplished more; I should have more to show for my last two years in London studying design. But everything I have done is on this blog, more or less. I need to step up my game. 25 and...
