“President Obama is keen to introduce tough new laws which will force the KKK and other extreme right-wing groups to disclose the identities of their members, Daily Mail Online can disclose.
The President discussed the possibility of the new measures when he telephoned Charleston mayor Joe Riley following last week’s massacre.
Riley, who is into his 40th year as mayor of the city where nine people were murdered by a self-proclaimed white supremacist down in the AME church massacre, said he and the President talked about how best to set up a national council to act as a watchdog to monitor and report on race hate.
Among the ideas being looked at is legislation forcing extreme right wings groups and violent organizations such as the Ku Klux Klan to provide identities of supporters and members”.
It’s about FUCKING TIME…let’s see if this will actually pop off! Can you imagine how many CEO heads to police commissioners to deli owners will be brought to light! The KKK comes in many forms don’t be fooled.
Does anyone else have that friend where it’s just like “Literally nothing you say can shock me anymore. We have said the worst possible things to each other in the form of sarcastic banter to the point that I have become numb to the moral reality of this world.”
it genuinely stresses me out that hat video of Ruby Rose binding with ACE bandages is getting so much traction. ACE bandages hurt so bad don’t fucking bind with them you can damage your body!!! It’s not cool and subversive to hurt your ribs!!!!!
What do we bind with then? .-. This is news to many people
real binders that were made for chest binding. ACE bandages are made so that they constrict, and this can fracture your ribs, or at least bruise and bend them. any trouble breathing experienced with ACE bandages also should not be part of binding, I breathe (and exercise) fine in my binder.
every option i am aware of is online, but you do have options.
underworks (http://www.underworks.com/ultimate-chest-binder-tank) is by far the most popular store. even though their binders were made for cis men who have gynecomastia, that basically means cis men with enlarged boobs, so it’s the same idea, and meant to be safe.
gc2b (http://www.gc2b.co/#!store/c205c) is a store that’s definitely gaining traction. you can find reviews on their website i believe but also on their tumblr, gc2b-apparel. everyone i’ve ever seen who had one felt much less pain with these binder because they’re designed by and for trans people, so they fit right.
were going around tumblr for awhile, but i’ve never used them, never have known anyone who used them, so i can’t vouch from a personal standpoint, but they do have a testimonials tag on their tumblr:
there’s other options - whether you ID as a dude or not, if you google search “ftm chest binders” you will find results, but these are the ones i’d vouch for most, the first being so widely used and the second two being by and for trans people.
hope this helps, if you want to know anything else about binding feel free to let me know!
Here’s your friendly reminder to not ever bind with ace bandages ever
father:
son when you grow up would you be the saviour of the broken the beaten and the damned will you defeat them your demons and all the non-believers the plans that they have made because one day i'll leave you a phantom to lead you in the summer to join the black parade
me:

I’m going to come out as bisexual to my homophobic parents on 1st January 2016, please reblog this and I will put your URL in a notebook and give it to them to show that people support me x
hey shout out to my lgbt teens who can’t celebrate loudly and proudly because they live in homophobic households
even if youre not out in the streets, even if your support is quiet, you matter, you are important, and you are valid, and i hope you have a fantastically gay day
Why am I not seeing more people upset by what Donald Trump said about the Mexican people? Not only did he call everyone rapists and drug dealers but he called all Latinxs drug dealers and rapists.
This is someone who is running for president.
Univision has said they will no longer be associated with anything that has to do with Donald Trump organization. They will not be covering the Miss USA and Miss Universe.
Rosalyn Sanchez has decided to not be cohost of Miss Universe because of what Trump said about the Mexican people and Latinxs.
Cristian de la Fuente has also decided to not cohost.
J Balvin, a Colombian singer, has declined participation in Miss Universe, a chance to be known in the American community, because of what Trump said.
Where are my people who are upset by this?
did anyone realize that california laws went into effect today that allows trans* youth to pick which bathroom and sports team they feel comfortable with in school
i think that’s the bee’s knees
Don’t let this go unnoticed. The fact that gay marriage is legal is absolutely something to celebrate, but so is this
man I’m only 21 and i done seen it all the first Black president, gay marriage being legalized, I was there marching against police brutality, 9/11, the 2008 recession, smartphones, social media, the golden age of Beyonce
Actually this is so true
Our generation has seen it all. The market crashed. Politics started to spiral. Technology sped up until new innovations were churned out every day. We became more tightly linked through those innovations. We woke up to the problems in our own society. We saw the people around us take ‘safety’ to terrible extremes, and the people who were supposed to keep us safe take their power to worse ones. We saw the rise of musicians who weren’t afraid to call themselves feminists. We saw college students stand up and declare that they had the right to feel safe in their own dorm beds, and then drag around mattresses to prove it. We saw the world stand up in defense of some murdered children, but we also saw it turn a blind eye to others. We got a Black president–TWO TERMS of a Black president. And now we’ve seen the legalization of gay marriage in the US.
Not to sound too cliche, but imagine what we’ll see tomorrow.
shout out to all my followers that stick with me every time my interests change and you end up with a bunch of “what the hell is this shit” on your dashboards yall rock
man, teenaged girls aren’t allowed to have a genuine interest in anything without being ridiculed for it. if a girl likes ugg boots and starbucks she’s stupid and stereotypical, but if she likes combat boots and obscure coffee houses she’s a hipster wannabe and is trying too hard. if a girl listens to boy bands and other popular artists she’s a dumb follower, if she reads comics or plays video games she’s a poser/fake geek girl, if she likes sex she’s a slut but if she doesn’t like sex she’s a prude, if she wears makeup she’s fake but if she doesn’t wear makeup she’s a slob, if she has low self-esteem she needs to learn to love herself but if she has high self-esteem she’s overconfident and vain, if she’s interested in politics she’s a crazy social justice warrior but if she prefers to stay out of social matters she’s a dumb airhead. girls are literally mocked for every single thing they like or do, no matter what those things are, and i’m really really sick of it.
“Bisexual and transgender people ARE NOT allowed in LGBT spaces unless they’re in a HOMOSEXUAL RELATIONSHIP!”
how many bees do u have up ur asshole like I’m just curious
I don’t think I’ve seen anyone say this? Mostly people have said that you shouldn’t bring your partner if you’re in a het relationship which??? Isn’t at all too much to ask?
i love the White House being covered in rainbow lighting because it looks like a conservative fever dream of what would happen if The Gays accomplished their horrible, horrible designs. a black president sittin in The Gay House
A few fun facts! All of this I learned after being near death and spending a week in critical care in a hospital that didn’t offer any sort of charity assistance and I was uninsured.
(Some do, so if you think you’re f’d, check to see if they offer anything first.)
First of all: while dealing with a terrible kidney infection, a 104 fever that had been going for a week, and who knows what else, a nice lady from their finance department came to me with some paperwork to sign. Luckily I was so out of it (I had even spelled my name wrong when I first checked in because I was so out of it) that I said I couldn’t (which was true).
I later learned what she was asking me to sign was some sort of a “lien” which would have given them all the rights to come after me and re-posses any property I had later to make up for the debt.
So, whatever you do when you’re sick, if you don’t understand something do NOT sign it.
Since then I got calls for a few years from a debt collector, I never talked to them, said I wasn’t available, whatever. Eventually they stopped calling.
I owe a hospital about $700,000 for having the audacity to have a kidney infection and an autoimmune disease which were trying to kill me simultaneously.
That was probably 5 years ago. From what everyone has told me, it can’t effect my credit. Medical debt can not effect your credit. Also, now that I’m no longer being harassed by those debt collectors, I never hear from anyone.
To me in the end, I learned to simply walk away from it, and I won, as far as I can tell.
I know the OP was making a joke, but I thought I’d put out some info in case anyone out there has the unfortunate luck to get critically sick in the US without insurance, because seriously it’s really fucking expensive.
Important info because my snarky butt is uneducated
R.I.P. to all the LGBTQ+ people who didn’t live to see June 26, 2015. Who died ahead of time due to murder, suicide, or old age. To those who fought until their last breath, the fight for same-sex marriage was for you.
sensate movie night au where wolfgang and capheus get into a heated screaming match over who is the better action star, arnold schwarzenegger or jean claude van damme. will sits in the background just chanting “die hard, die hard, die hard” over and over
I love how most of these are just kind of universally accepted.
-Dad Max
-The Wives being referred to as The Sisters after the film
-Horrible family road trip
-Furiosa is everything
-The Doof Warrior was great
-Immortan Joe was a fuck
-Making fun of the People Eater and his intense nipple rings (seriously dude wtf)
-Capable working with the War Boys after the film
-Toast becoming a total badass warrior leader and possible Imperator
-The Dag and the gardens
-Cheedo becoming a political head or a healer
-If Dag has a girl she names her Angharad
-Furiosa does the forehead touch with Max when he comes back
-Keeper of the Seeds was best grandma
-You could probably summon anyone in the fandom with “WITNESS ME”
And so much more
Seriously I love this fandom. Everyone I’ve run into is so nice, I haven’t seen any hate, and everyone just loves this film and wants to share. You all rock.
I love how we all seem to be cheerleading each other’s stories and reading each other’s tumblrs. And how
- Ace totally survives
Is now also widely accepted. I’m still working on my ‘Miss Giddy survives and becomes the Citadel’s cover-up tattoo artist’ campaign. And as soon as I have a story I can work it into, I’m gonna start a campaign for ‘Valkyrie also survives’
-GASPING- I’m going to draw this! Im totally going to draw Miss Giddy tattooing all the war boys! :D
- War boys with boltcutter symbols over their brands (Ace has one) - Furiosa has a big coverup tattoo described in chapter 14 - milking mothers with flower tattoos - Max is getting a big ass cover tattoo on his back. (I’m not ready to reveal this, but send me an ask if you want to draw it and I’ll spoil ya :-)
Okay but can we take a second to acknowledge that Max is physically disabled along with his PTSD, like
he was shot in the knee. He wears a knee brace. From what I’ve read (and, granted, that isn’t a lot, but still) knee braces aren’t meant to be a permanent or solo solution. He has no access to physical therapy or painkillers out in the Wastelands, so he must be in pain. If not constantly, then frequently.
The male lead of a blockbuster action flick is disabled in more ways than one and I care immensely about Max Rockatansky okay
