ilykadamen:
When I first got online, I thought maybe these people are so sheltered they don’t recognize racism. I don’t believe that anymore. They know what’s going on and they are sitting back debating whether they want to side with the powerless. And they decide that no, they won’t get involved, they don’t want to upset the important (white) people. No biggie, the brown folks are used to...

“If it’s okay for people to comment negatively on say, Kate Hudson’s surgically altered body, then it follows that it’s fair game for people to comment negatively on Gabourey Sidibe’s body size. Most self-described feminists, or feminist refugees, would object to that comparison. But the fact remains that both women deserve the right to have agency over their bodies without judgment...

Also: “I was charged — am being charged, I should say, as I have not yet paid — $15,833 for the care I received during the 40-odd hours I spent at Saint Vincent. I then received additional bills from the surgeon, the anesthesiologist, and the emergency room physician for their respective services. (The latter is asking for more than $800 for...

me: okay, srsly? the 'edit this persons profile' thing? i can't think of a single use for that that isn't at best kind of creepy. am i supposed to suggest to ladies that their interests are too mainstream / not mainstream enough, or that they come off as too slutty / not slutty enough, or really what? i don't get it as anything other than a terrible idea.
why not replace the questions with hot or not voting?*
some girl: Because that would have some pretty depressing results for about 80% of the people on here.
some bloke: is not creepy
[this guy immediately suggested an edit to my profile pointing out that i like anal. i /had/ failed to list that, i guess? i'll give him the benefit of intending it as a joke but it kind of proves my point.]
some other bloke: Bald, weighty, trekkie, saving us all from teh kreep
OH NO YOU HAVE FOUND ME OUT
and this was within twenty minutes of blogging on there. hopefully it'll disappear off the mainpage in an hour but /come on/.
*i appended this to add that obvs that would be horrible and that was my point, but now i'm thinking it was pretty clear after all?

What’s notable to me about Durban II is that many nations populated overwhelmingly by people of color appear to be increasingly assertive and effective in organizing on the world stage to defend their human rights against a litany of systemic onslaughts; yet a handful of powerful holdouts remain fixated on discrediting and sabotaging such efforts in favor of status quo inequality. To my...

Lance henriksen says I should buy a verizon droid.
i feel i should listen to him. i liked millenium. he was good in all those aliens movies. he had a great one-line cameo at the end of the super mario brothers movie.
ironically, when i tried the droid at the verizon store, i hated the physical keyboard, because it’s offset to the left to make room for the d-pad, but loved the virtual keyboard, because i think the screen is slightly...
