Rise Up, Oh Heart, For There is Another Battle to Win

adults are always like “you’re too young to understand the real world is like” but no, I completely understand what the real world is like and I want to be a part of the generation that fixes what you lot won’t
my white privilege: talking about systemic racism, posting about systemic racism, liking statuses about systemic racism, being outraged by systemic racism, not fearing for my life because of systemic racism.
shout out to everyone who doesn’t have a super identity-supportive family to be around this thanksgiving. shout out to everyone who’s going to have to endure a day of incorrect pronouns, birth name usage, heternormativity, and cisnormativity. i love you. please take care of yourself.
The scary part of what’s happening in Mexico is that while looking for the bodies of the 43 missing students they have found out massive clandestine graveyards with a lot of bodies and they are like “well, this aren’t the missing students”. Then who are they?
We were looking for 43, but we found dozens, hundreds, thousands of people without a face, bodies without an identity, bodies who weren’t mourned.
Since my family is almost here, I just want to say to anyone in my queer/trans/non-binary family who is about to enter an unsafe family environment this holiday season
You matter
You are important
You are strong
You are beautiful
You are valid
Sending ya’ll all my love and support. You will get through this.
someone was criticizing michael brown’s mom for screaming when the verdict was read and all I can say is if someone murdered one of my babies and they gave the killer half a million dollars instead of trying him for the crime I would be screaming bloody murder too and you would hear me from space
i’m eternally grateful and thankful for all of the protestors and people all over the planet fighting for their right to exist as human fucking beings every day. you are the most important people in the world
Found a quote that shuts down that “not all men” argument pretty well. (via mykicks)

My best friend and I are watching Aang and Katara be adorable and romantic in ATLA, and we were talking about the fact that it was startlingly sexual for a kid’s show, and she goes “GAAAAAAAAAY.” Then she pauses and goes “No, wait, fuck, HETEROOOOOOOO, I forgot some people were straight.”
The fucking SHITTIEST thing about trying to educate about Ferguson is when people play devil’s advocate just to rile you up, like SHUT UP. You’re WASTING MY TIME, you KNOW it was wrong, don’t try to tell me that you agree but I should attempt to “see things from all perspectives” or “contemplate how hard it will be for Wilson to return to the work force” like fuck you. Wilson got thousands of dollars and a wife and Brown is literally DEAD.
i just really hope all of you find someone who is really cool that you can love and have sex with and all that shit but you can also talk politics and about evolution. someone you don’t cling to at parties but you nonchalantly grab their ass when you walk by them in the crowd and someone you reach for at 2am in between dreams to cuddle.
YES!!!!

You cannot be for trans rights if you are not for trans lives. You cannot say you are for LGBT rights if you are not for trans rights.
That means they are anti-LGBT.
Sometimes I walk past a graveyard and I think “I could dress up like a ghost and haunt the shit out of that cemetery for like, weeks before anybody noticed and stopped me”
And then I realized that I was headed down a road that leads to scooby doo villainy
I’m usually that person who has no idea what’s going on
IMPORTANT: consider this, if your OTP was the couple in the cute ass after surgery video, who would be the one high on meds that doesn’t recognize the other but still thinks they’re the most gorgeous thing they’ve ever seen.
uh… news stations are kind of brushing over the fact that 20 year old deandre joshua was found dead last night only yards from where michael brown died. he was shot in the head and set on fire… they’re blaming it on the riots but no one really knows what happened and it sounds a lot like a hate crime
He was the best friend of the #1 witness of Michael Brown’s murder and this was not a coincidence. Now is the time to be very very afraid
women have more graduate degrees in neuroscience than men, but less than a third of faculty are made up of women
institutional bias against women in the sciences is SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN
so is harassment and sexual assault
encouraging young girls to join the sciences is not going to solve this problem - this is an INSTITUTIONAL and CULTURAL PROBLEM in the sciences
