Yahoo is deleting Tumblr accounts for sharing pictures of animal cruelty
Rebloggable by request.
Just as we feared, Yahoo has already begun deleting blogs and tampering with Tumblr’s integrity.
They are deleting accounts for sharing photos of animal cruelty as if the accounts sharing them are encouraging or promoting animal abuse.
It’s now apparently Tumblr policy to shut down accounts with zero notice.
Welcome to the New World Tumblr guys, where you don’t get to discuss whatever you want like you liked.
You know what to do.
One day the absurdity of the almost universal human belief in the slavery of other animals will be palpable. We shall then have discovered our souls and become worthier of sharing this planet with them.

it's called soft drink: Monosexual privilege - what it is, and what it isn't
(For anyone who doesn’t know me: I’m the one who wrote the Monosexual Privilege Checklist).
Monosexual privilege is NOT about:
Gay and lesbian people, as a group, benefit from monosexism:
- It makes homosexuality seem more stable as a sexual orientation
- It makes it easier to use “born this way” type arguments
- It makes it easier to argue that gay people are no threat to straight population, because “gayness is not contagious”
- It exorcises concepts like instability, confusion and “it’s just a phase” from gay identities, making it easier to promote to straight publics
- It exorcises the threat of nonmonogamy that bisexuality carries with it, giving way to monogamy and homonormativity
- It saves money and resources for LG movements and organizations (because they get to have more of the cake)
- In general, it helps pave their way to straight mainstream acceptance and acknowledgment
Straight society is responsible for the oppression of bi people - gay and lesbian communities are responsible for collaboration. And yes, they do get cookies for it. That’s why it’s called “monosexual privilege”. You get cookies for being monosexual. The fact that straight people get MORE cookies (hell, they even get the fucking factory) does not mean the cookies are gone.
Think about the way cisgender privilege conflates men and women. Cis women are obviously oppressed because of their gender. Cis men are 10000000 times more privileged than cis women. Does that mean cis privilege doesn’t exist? Does that mean cis women are not privileged over trans* people? No.
But really, I love how tumblr intersectionality goes all to hell the moment someone uses the word “monosexual”.
If you are eating or drinking anything made from cow’s milk, it’s because a calf chained in a box somewhere isn’t.

VAGINA ZINE - ESA Student-run zine concerning the new “no vagina + no nipple” rule in the Visual Arts program
We’ll also probably be printing off posters of some of the pages to post around the school
by izzy burgwin
A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say, at most high schools in this country – is automatic suspension. Instead, Sporleder sits the kid down and says quietly: “Wow. Are you OK? This doesn’t sound like you. What’s going on?”
He gets even more specific: “You really looked stressed. On a scale of 1-10, where are you with your anger?” The kid was ready. Ready, man! For an anger blast to his face….”How could you do that?” “What’s wrong with you?”…and for the big boot out of school. But he was NOT ready for kindness.
The armor-plated defenses melt like ice under a blowtorch and the words pour out: “My dad’s an alcoholic. He’s promised me things my whole life and never keeps those promises.” The waterfall of words that go deep into his home life, which is no piece of breeze, end with this sentence: “I shouldn’t have blown up at the teacher.” Whoa.

Bam. Kids “misbehave” for actual, real, valid reasons. And have feelings.

For fuck’s sake, it takes the people in charge so long to figure shit like this out! Good for Lincoln High!

This needs to be the policy EVERYWHERE…

Participants Wanted: Asexual Terminology Survey
tchy:
My name is Andrew Hinderliter, and I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Linguistics at the University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign. My dissertation is about online asexual discourse, with particular interest in its development over time. I ran one survey last January, and I am now conducting a survey on asexuality-related concepts and terminology.
To participate, you must be at least 18 years of age or older, be proficient in English, and identify as asexual, gray-A, or demisexual. The survey has a number of language-related questions, and it is asked that you do not look things up while taking the survey.
Signal boost for my ace followers!
Same woman, same foot position, same room, same day. And no Photoshop. Just one little hip movement.
My body is beautiful whether I look like I do on the left or the right. I am just as healthy in both pictures, and i am just as worthy of love in both pictures. And the same is true for you no matter what size jeans you wear or how big your thighs are.
You’re fucking fabulous. Believe it.
if you actually think straight white males are an oppressed minority then you’re actually the King of Shitty Opinions
I would love to start drawing again, or sew cute toys, or read up on Buddhism and anarchism and get through my ‘to-read’ list of fiction.
But exams.
