I hate the word homophobia.
It is not a phobia.
You are not scared.
You are just an asshole.
what if someone had an actual phobia though
like with people who are arachnaphobic
a gay person comes into their house and they stand on a chair screaming and swatting them with a broom or something

youngbadmanbrown:
Last week, I wrote about how urban trees—or the lack thereof—can reveal income inequality. After writing that article, I was curious, could I actuallyseeincome inequality from space? It turned out to be easier than I expected.
Below are satellite images from Google Earth that show two neighborhoods from a selection of cities around the world. In case it isn’t...

When I was in preschool there was this really weird system of time-out where they’d put you in this giant plastic bucket sort of like this one:
And the rule was you couldn’t leave the bucket for ten minutes.
In case you didn’t know, I was what the teachers referred to as a “difficult child” which is code for “walking entity of sass” so I was in the time-out bucket quite a bit.

About the petition:
First off, Alex is not going anywhere. Yes, Alex’s mother tried to regain custody of her child after she initially lost it and failed, but her father doesn’t have custody either.
The court ruled that way because they feared keeping it with either her parents while they argued would delay therapy and damage Alex’s health....

(apologies for any unintentionally cissexist wording. if this is fucked up, let me know)
Okay here is what I’m saying I guess kind of more put together:
Lately on Tumblr it seems like FAAB trans* (female-passing) folks get a lot of attention and praise and props for being femme. And although we don’t feel like we are women, we were still given a toolkit for womanhood and feminity....

there seems to be a lotta support for the BDSM community

and yet
if you self-harm
that’s supposed to be this horrible thing
and i just don’t get it
why do you only support people consensually hurting each other?

“fag” is a slur and it is not your slur to reclaim
you all seem to think that “fag” is perfectly fine for you to use jokingly as self-deprecation
it isn’t
it is a word with a history of violence
it can be used only by people with a certain connection to that history
I have been called it for years and am still...
Teachers think it's cute to humiliate students
greenbrowngirl:
Like yeah, your job is hard, but sometimes teachers abuse their power.
I remember my first grade teacher (who was white) used to take pictures of students who fell asleep in her class.

Maybe "The Walking Dead" is coming true.
