Sluts

Double standards for women’s sexuality versus male’s sexuality are so awesome. Way to go keeping up the patriarchy and putting women like me in our places by calling us sluts in derogatory and demeaning ways, then telling us we have no respect for our bodies by being ‘sluts’ (regardless of our sexual past or actions) and then saying you’re awesome for being a...

I'm leaving tumblr for a bit

I have to finish class and tumblr is something I stay on for hours and hours and I just cannot afford that right now. I just can’t. So I’m gonna stay away for the most part. If you like people to always be around and providing you with new content, it’s acceptable to unfollow. I hope everyone is well, stays well, or gets well in the time I am gone (and beyond!) Later,...

What a Good Pastor in Maryland! →

I am super believing this guy would never hurt a homosexual (or bisexual like me!) because he seems super legit sorry that he was taken out of context because his ‘flesh’ likes the idea of killing us all! Awesome! :) Super legit awesome! Good thing he has a strong moral fibre though, and would never actually snap and kill as many of us as he could! ♥ awesome! LEGIT AWESOME! /teeth snap...

I totally forgive Mitt Romney

andeliaworld: He wrote about how he had to “apologize” for “several” of his classmates and himself finding a man in highschool, a Mr. Lauber, and holding him down and cutting his bleached blonde hair off. It wasn’t because of Mr. Lauber’s perceived homosexuality, no! It was just a few highschool “pranks and hijinks” that went too far. And you know how Jesus felt about long hair. Oh Mitt Romney!...

Breaking News: Fox News is run by Whack Jobs

I don’t know how Fox News got on my facebook news feed, but I’m repulsed. Oh yes! GO RIGHT AHEAD! Stomp on the rights of those to get married who want to in NC. Way to go, NC, you’ve repulsed me once again. “Breaking News: North Carolina voters approve state constitutional amendment banning gay marriage” go ahead and have a party!

Dear Intro to Sociology Professor -

iliketomeowatstrangers: I hope you’ve had a pleasant weekend, but there’s some shit we need to hash out. I’ve sat through your class for four months. In those four months, I’ve been vilified for not agreeing with your overtly leftist beliefs, for supporting the Tea Party, for blaming parents - and not the sociopolitical restraints of our nation’s past - for the way children are today, for being...

So I’m writing this in a bus station. Today I went to go get my pants hemmed at my friend’s house. She lives in another city nearby where I live. I boarded an express bus to the station of the city she lives in and then when I got there, I waited at the 40. I have only been to my friend’s house twice and I am new in town. I missed my bus stop. After a while, I became...

To the anon

I don’t really know a lot about Judaism, as I am sure you could tell. I know that my friend is white and that she converted and that was what I spoke about. But I looked at the post and realized my comment was kind of derailing. I took it down and I am sorry that what I said was disrespectful. I didn’t intend it to be, but honestly intent has no meaning on over whether it was. ...

Curiosity NEVER KILLED THE CAT

So I went onto facebook (why I did it, I still don’t know, that place is a mess) and I happened upon my friend’s status. Well, it started off pretty bad just because it was ageist, in addition to talking about how wrong it is that kids are talking about sex and thinking they’re cool when they’re only 13 and stuff. And so I keep reading. Turns out, once you hit high school...

homostuckhomestuck: Kids being interested in sex at whatever age is natural and right for them. When they start getting curious, they should not be kept from looking into things. There should be books and sites and safe places for them to look up sexual things. If they have questions, there should be safe places to go for answers. You know what shouldn’t happen? People shouldn’t be shamed for...
