I just realized something extremely sobering right now.
I was talking to my partner and I recalled a very painful memory of mine from high school — when I was a sophomore, my English teacher had this unreasonable rule that you needed to have all the necessary books with you for the day, and if you didn’t, you had to go to your locker to get them. It didn’t matter how far it was, and coming back after the bell was automatic detention. As it was, one day I forgot my lit anthology and I was sent to my locker — on the polar opposite end of the school. I literally sprinted across the school in a frenzied panic, but I didn’t make it in time and the bell rang as I was coming up the hall to the classroom.
It was the first time I’d ever gotten detention in a decade of schooling, and I was an extreme perfectionist. I thought that getting detention would be a black mark on my record, prevent me from getting into college, etc. I instantly started sobbing uncontrollably and having an anxiety attack as I went down to the principal’s office. The administrators took pity on me, as I was quite the sorry sight, and said that they’d let me slide just this once. But once I got back to the classroom I was met by a roomful of dirty looks. Nearly everyone assumed I’d started crying on purpose to get off the hook, and the entire rest of the semester I was the subject of cruel gossip and general disdain as a result of this.
And because of that, I’ve finally been able to put my finger on why I often find anti-bullying campaigns at schools so hollow: bullying is endemic in the system. Not only are teachers ignorant of the cruelty enacted on their students, often they’re complicit in it by enacting unjust rules. When a culture of fear and punishment is fostered in a classroom, it encourages harassment of those who (naturally and instinctively) react to it strongly and severely, knowing it’s wrong but powerless to combat it. And cutthroat competition to get elusive As fosters the kind of ruthlessness that makes mocking those who don’t make the grade just another facet of the culture.
Bullying cannot be destroyed until the public school system as we know it is destroyed, razed and rebuilt from the ground up with justice, understanding and kindness as its pillars.
Yes.
Feminist: One who supports the cause of feminism.
Feminism: The belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities.
Pretty simple to support, huh? Man or woman. I think the only reason a person who believes in equality of the sexes would NOT call herself/himself a feminist is because of people who have distorted the perception of the word as a dirty and shameful label the past few decades. But if you reject the word based on how THEY have shaped the perception of it, in an insidious way, you’re letting them define you.
Go back to the REAL definition of the word, not THEIR distorted definition, and see if it is something you believe in. And can be proud to call yourself. Man OR woman. And go from there.
Because, if you break it down, if you are NOT a feminist, then you do NOT believe in equal rights for men and women. Is that what you believe? Or is it that you’re rejecting what the label has been distorted into?
It used to be that “geek” was a dirty word, too. A shameful label. Not anymore, thank goodness.
“Feminist” needs a transformation like that too. It’s overdue.
FINALY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO FELICIA DAY

This is important
This graphic is ridiculously effective and helpful.
while people are going nuts over a racist joke justin bieber said years ago, this is what’s happening in reality.
This makes me fucking sick to my stomach!
Holy fucking shit
and to think that those little kids will most likely take after their mother and become scum.
this was very hard to sit through but i’m very glad i did
nonbinary people who are okay with gendered pronouns/names are still nonbinary and if a nonbinary person tells you they’re okay with gendered pronouns then it’s really not your place to say that their gender identity is less valid because of that, even if you yourself are nonbinary. Gender is different for everyone and there’s no “valid way” to be a certain gender the only validation you need is your own.
i can’t believe sasuke became a pokémon trainer
The world is weird, man. Weird and kinda beautiful.
absolutely fucking beautiful*
rarity is tired of you clowns
it ok to not be ready
Please spread this shit like wildfire. People go on and sit through the whole experience and they’re uncomfortable because they just want to please their partner and they don’t tell them that they want to stop because they are not ready. It’s okay not to be ready.
i thought somebody else might need to hear this, because i did.
Audrey says “fuck your gender roles”
This movie is super underrated.
Audrey is so underrated. How can you not love her?
I have a love-hate relationship with this movie.
On one hand it’s got awesome PoC characters who defy racial and gender stereotypes. It also discusses colonialism and how people tend to destroy indigenous cultures to obtain land and resources (which is why the crew ultimately decided a to pretend they never found Atlantis because they don’t want anyone else to try and destroy the culture).
But on the other hand, the whole plot is that Atlantis needs a white, cishet man to save it from extinction and for some reason he understand their culture and language better than they do.hEY FUCK YOU OKAY
MILO WAS THE ANTITHESIS OF WHITE SAVIOR
HE WAS A NERDY USELESS LITTLE SHIT WHO WAS COWARDLY UNTIL OTHERS FORCED HIM TO ACT
HIS ONLY STRENGTHS WERE HIS MIND AND HIS ETHICS
HE WAS THE PERFECT DUDE FOR THE JOB AND THE REASON HE KNEW BETTER WAS BECAUSE HE RIGOROUSLY STUDIED TEXTS THAT HAD BEEN LOST OR DESTROYED IN ATLANTIS BECAUSE KIDA’S FATHER INTENTIONALLY LET HIS KINGDOM LAPSE INTO DECAY AND OBSCURITY
DO NOT PULL THAT WHITE SAVIOUR BULLSHIT BECAUSE MILO WAS A DAMN GOOD DUDErebloging for that comment
