Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win
Month
Straighten your back and stretch your arms over your head. Take a deep breath. Now cough a few times to rattle things around in your chest. Don’t wear it for more than eight hours if you can help it. Binder safety is very important! Alright, now go ahead and pass this on for someone else who might need it. Thank you!
minimum wage doesn’t even TOUCH a living wage, racism and sexism are alive and well, children are killed in schools on a regular basis, those who make it to college end up with hundreds of thousands in debt, our basic rights are being stripped from us daily, and adults actually believe that SELFIES are the cause for this generation’s demise
I’m constantly forgetting meds and missing doses, so here’s something to pass around as a reminder.
Have you taken your medication today?
That other medication too?
Did you have the food/water you need with it?
Do you need to order any refills?
Fuck you, Steinbeck. (via theangelofbucephalon)
Steinbeck based his book on reports made by Sanora Babb (leaked to him by her boss, Tom Collins, to whom Grapes of Wrath is dedicated). Sanora Babb was planning to write her own book, but Steinbeck published before she did. Babb was told that the market could not bear another on the same subject. Her book, ‘Whose Names are Unknown’, was finally published in 2004. I haven’t read either book yet, but am now definitely going to be reading ‘Whose Names are Unknown’ soon.
Babb’s novel is described as showing how by re-creating rudimentary democratic practices the refugees restructure their lives as a unified community, resisting violent discrimination. In ‘Whose Names are Unknown’, we hear the whole powerful story from the point of view of a woman who had actual experience with both the origin and the destination of the migrants.
Sanora Babb was a member of the US Communist Party in the 1930s and 40s, dropped out of the party due to the authoritarian structure and in-fighting.

i dont get why book series are made into movies and not tv shows???
one chapter= one episode
one book= one season
it just makes a lot more sense
You are the revolution.
“I can’t accept you for being transgender, the bible says it’s a sin.”
Galatians 3:28
There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is no male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.Does it say that? Does it really?
australia’s got a lot of fucked up shit going on but at least we can say our last mass shooting was 18 years ago
because after it happened we placed higher restrictions on gun ownership
because that’s the logical fucking thing to do
It’s ALMOST as if better gun control laws help keep people safe from gun crime
But no
Surely that can’t be the case…
Guys, but what about politically active vampires.
“Bitch I’ve been fighting for this shit for 200 fucking years, you think you know more than me?”
“I’ve been with my wife for 173 years and we’re ruining marriage?”
"This was bullshit when I was born and it’s just as bullshit now.”
Never apologize for your giant dogs getting overexcited, if I get taken down by a 100 pound mass of fluff then that’s how I go.
I went to an Arab-American comedy night and there was a Muslim guy making a joke about being in high school football.
“I was hit so hard, I saw Jesus. Do you know how hard you have to be hit to see somebody else’s god?”
This is what jokes about religion are supposed to look like.
When the weather man said there’d be 6-8 inches of snow i wasn’t expecting this much, but that’s prolly bc I’m so used to guys lying about what 6-8 inches actually is
*spits drink*
best penis joke of 2014.. so far.. makes me damn proud
Did you say 6-8 inches of Snow?
There’s no joy like getting to close all the windows and tabs of research you had open once you’re finally done with a paper.
try doing a google search for “ferguson censorship”
seems pretty standard, ok
how about yahoo (the company that owns tumblr?)

I think that people forget that condoms protect you from more than just pregnancy.
And there is no morning after pill for HIV.
ACTUALLY THERE IS.
It’s called post exposure prophylaxis.
I’m all in for those ships where one is really cute and looks so innocent but can cut your neck if you piss them off and the other seems all rough and tragic past and all but it’s a big cute puppy who will follow the other to the ends of the earth.
In 49 I repeat FORTY FUCKING NINE states you can kill a trans person and use the “trans panic defense” as your reason for fucking killing someone like me and IT ACTUALLY WORKS. My life is nothing as long as the person who killed me was scared enough to fucking murder me.
Who should really be the scared one here?
Marriage equality is great and all but FUCKAND THIS MOSTLY AFFECTS BLACK TRANS WOMEN.
SAY IT WITH ME NOW.
BLACK TRANS WOMEN.

It’s amazing that people will see a kid yelled at or manhandled by a parent and say “It’s not my business, you can’t tell someone how to raise their kid” but if someone lets their son wear a dress it’s a public discussion.
THIS IS VERY RELEVANT
psa if you ever meet me in real life I am really sorry for how much I swear like it’s really not a joke I have a mouth on me like a fuckin sailor and I can usually turn it off around adults but if you’re under thirty five I will likely throw one ‘fuck’ in for every three words that leave my mouth it’s shocking
I’m just laughing at this so hard because like what is that conversation like.
“Can I snap his neck?"
"Star Trek has changed you.”

idk why police officers being monitored to make sure they’re performing their duties ethically and within legal parameters is such a controversial topic because if I recall they’re a fan of using the whole “if you’ve got nothing to hide you’ve got nothing to fear” shtick to justify harassing civilians it’s almost like they’re full of bullshit
