YEARBOOK
i am making my school’s yearbook.
a senior sent me his senior quote, and he really tried to pass off “Waking up is the second hardest thing in the morning” as his senior quote!
I’m almost tempted to let it slide and pretend it was an accident or something.
For now, I e-mailed him back saying that it’s not acceptable
Funny, but unacceptable
lol?

mixedkidsclub:
funny not funny how the accusation of “talking back” is just a way of silencing children’s (especially children of color) valid observations and opinions on the world.
The fact that you can actually get sent out of class for having an opinion or trying to tell your side of the story is fucking appalling to me.

people seriously think that you can just leave an abusive relationship, like walk out and it’s over
let’s talk about how one-third of women murdered every year are by an intimate partner. let’s talk about how a woman leaving her batterer is seventy-five percent more likely to be killed.

When I was little I thought being an adult meant not having a bed time but I’ve come to realize that it just means being in charge of my own bed time and it turns out that I am not equipped to handle that responsibility.

You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?
It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

Today — after twenty years in prison, and almost as many years of legal battles fought from state courts up to the federal court of appeals — Gina is finally free. That’s the American “justice system” for you. Serving up injustice...
