Slut” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “yes”. “Friendzone” is how we vilify a woman for exercising her right to say “no”.

Sh*t Everybody Says To Rape Victims

Was not expecting to see this, but I’m glad it exists. I really hope this meme sticks around for a while, so many perspectives are using it as a medium to explain their daily lived experiences.

Watch and discuss

shitting fuck i wish i could believe that people don’t actually say these things.

First: Trigger Warning!
Second: I wish I didn’t know that people actually said this shit.
Third: this one isn’t funny ha ha so much as it’s funny oh shit this is really sad and we have work to do to reduce the influence of rape culture.

More than in any other genre in the history of black music, commercially celebrated hip-hop swagger depends on a brand of manhood that consistently defines black women as disrespected objects. And fans of all racial background, but especially young white males, who make up the bulk of US consumers, eat it up. →

Not least to mention after rapping about the lack of dark skinned women being appreciated for their beauty in popular media, The video for Otis only featured light skinned women. I think we still have a long way to go.

Probably one of the best Lionel Ritchie memes of all time.

motherjones:

Many, many movie stars want to tell you: “Hello; is it me you’re looking for?”

This is the best Lionel Richie meme since this one.

If you were touched or outraged by the Troy Davis case, don’t allow the same thing to happen to another man. This is Rodney Reed and like Troy Davis there is no physical evidence tying Rodney to the crime that he was accused of committing. In fact, there is very real evidence leading to another suspect all together. Rodney was tried by an all white jury in southern Texas and sentenced to death. Let’s show the murderers that took the life of Troy Davis that we are not going anywhere anytime soon. This is a movement, not a moment.

Here is a link to the free, streaming documentary regarding Rodney and his story: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4864052717720140330

Despite inflated claims that the Internet has pushed the USPS off the map, virtually everyone depends on the Postal Service for something. On my daily rounds as a letter carrier, I delivered remittances to businesses, medicines to sick people, checks to pensioners, valuables to jewelry stores, candidate information to voters, election ballots to City Hall, periodicals and newspapers to subscribers, passports to travelers, drivers licenses and plates to vehicle operators, cremated remains to funeral homes, gifts, cards and letters to loved ones, movies to viewers, and bills to nearly everyone, and I collected tubs full of outgoing mail from businesses.

In other words, there is a great deal of money to be made if the privatizers succeed in their grab at the Postal Service.
