Dear tumblr,
As most of you know, tomorrow marks the return of Arrested Development. All episodes for the 4th season will be available at midnight. I ask you all as good people and SOBs, please refrain from discussing the episodes or the season for a week until everyone has a moment to enjoy them fully. Let us marinate and not immediately live lawblog that shit. I know it like asking a schizophrenic not to masturbate furiously on public transit, but show some restraint or make sure to tag shit as spoilers.

Fuck your ableist bullshit right in the ass.

Where would a woman have to come from to have that much body hair naturally?

Not trying to sound like an asshole, this photo is lovely, I am just genuinely curious.

Hi there! Thanks for the compliment. :) I was born in the US and am a pretty vast mixture of different ethnicities, mostly European. The biggest chunk (1/4) and the heritage I feel the most connected to is Italian. My grandfather’s side of the family comes from Bari and Calabria in Southern Italy. :) Honestly, through my Body Hair Aware project, I have learned that (as I suspected) male pattern body hair on women is far more common than most people know because most of the women who have it hide and/or remove it with regularity and rarely discuss it. You would be amazed by the number of women (from many different backgrounds and ethnicities) who have messaged me who also have a great deal of body hair - even chest hair. It’s something humanity has rejected for so long, many people don’t even know it exists. I find this and the psychology behind it vastly intriguing.

I love you, Tango ♥

[ photo is a person laying in a bathtub, looking to the side and smiling. they have armpit hair, chest hair, leg hair, a happy trail and thick pubic hair. ]

I think the answer to the question is that a person could come from anywhere and everywhere and have that amount of body hair.

NRA President Jim Porter: “It’s Only A Matter Of Time Before We Can Own Colored People Again”

“I don’t have to clarify. You know gall darn well what I mean. In fact, it’s only a matter of time before we can own colored people again.

They sure as hell won’t be our leaders. It’s out-right embarrassing. The War of Northern Aggression made it all possible, and you be best to know it’s all gonna change back. I’ll be on the front lines making sure it happens.

I don’t want my grandkids growing up taking orders from a colored man. It’s our God-given right to keep them as property and keep them in line.”

“color blind post racial society” at its finest

I AM SO FUCKING SICK OF SEEING THESE KINDS OF IMAGES AND COMMENTS.

I’m actually disgusted. This photo was posted on see more’s facebook page. Now, I don’t remember liking this page, but occasionally it pops up on my newsfeed. Usually its generic “share this guy” posts, but this one caught my attention because of the picture.

I wish I could say that the argument on the left (caused by my outraged comment) is where all the stupidty ends. But it really isn’t, The other comments are DISGUSTING. I actually feel sick to my stomach right now because of them.

HERE ARE SOME PRIME EXAMPLES OF THE KINDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE COMMENTING ON THIS:

THIS IS WHY FEMINISM IS NEEDED. THIS IS WHY RAPECULTURE IS SICKENING. THIS IS WHY GROWING UP IN A WORLD FULL OF OVER SEXUALISED WOMEN AND PATRIORICHAL VALUES IS FUCKING BULLSHIT.

“hahah shes fat she should be glad for the rape!!!” NO. NO. NO. NO. NO. Seriously these VILE people are what I cannot stand most about the world. I am so angry right now I can’t.

I need to add that this is why INTERSECTIONAL feminism is needed, because this wasn’t just a joke about rape (which is awful enough), it was a joke about fat woman, a fat black woman, which one of the commenters had to make note of. There is a special type of stigma for fat Black women, which is a big part of where this type of vitriol is coming from. 

Feminism is not enough if it does not address fat-shaming/fatphobia and racialized misogyny.

PS all the people thinking this shit is funny can go fuck themselves.

Wow Madonna’s looking well.

Hahah, I get it. It’s funny because it tears down both her failure to maintain beauty standards held by society AND for daring to get older!

Did I say funny? Oh, I meant cliched and misogynistic. 

Don’t like Madonna? That’s fair enough; neither do I, but, seriously, if you can’t find any reason beyond how she looks, you’re clearly a misogynist shit and you’re just not looking hard enough.

TRIGGER WARNING: RAPE

The asshole holding the sign that says You Deserve Rape is Dean Saxton, he attends the University of Arizona and goes by the name of “Brother Dean Samuel”  That’s also him with the racist ass “Ghettopoly”

Per the comment on Buzzfeed

“I can’t wait till he graduates college and a future employer finds all this crap. No one’s going to want to take on this sexual harassment/racist liability. I say we KEEP publishing this stuff, KEEP his name out there, and ensure he dies in a gutter with only his disgusting sign to keep him warm.”

Fuck you, Dean Saxton

Dean Saxton is a racist, rape apologist shitbag.

Sick Sad World: Classist justice

alostbird:

eshusplayground:

myintersection:

Far too often, I’ve heard radical queers and feminists, in their hipster garb, talking their academic jargon about checking one’s privilege and being accountable, and in the same breath mocking poor people. It’s not always explicit. Actually, in social justice circles, it hardly ever is. Many of you know not to say words like ghetto or white trash, or at least I hope you do, because of its classist and racist implications, but that seems to be where the anti-classist work stops. So, let me help you.

• Every time you push your vegan/vegetarian/pescatarian diet on people, remember that your diet is a privilege that doesn’t make you superior or more of an environmentalist, food justice champion, animal lover or good human. I know you know about food deserts. Well, you don’t have to live in one to not be able to afford to have a restrictive diet.
• Furthermore, poor folks went green a long-ass time ago. I don’t get why you feel so special about your mason jars and bicycles. Oh good for you for taking the bus when you could’ve driven. Do you want a vegan gluten-free cookie?
• Yes, Wal-Mart is evil. So, is Urban Outfitters. Get over yourself. The only reason why Wal-Mart is singled out is because poor people shop there and it is easier to distance yourself from the problem. So, stop judging poor consumers who are just trying to feed and clothe their families, and start working to dismantle capitalism, or at least organize for workers’ rights (preferably in a non savior complex kinda way).
• Your shitty college dorm room, apartment or shared house, does not make you poor, neither does shopping at Good Will.
• There is a difference between being broke and poor, much like the difference between acute and chronic pain. Learn the difference. 
• For those of you who do work with poor folks, you are not special, and you are not a savior. Like I said before, drop the savior routine. It makes a big difference when you take the cues from the communities you are serving. And, just because someone isn’t a college educated career activist, doesn’t mean they don’t know what is best for them and their communities. So, don’t be a condescending ass when people don’t talk like you, and practice some real nonjudgmental allyship.
• Pro tip: classy, trashy, hood, ghetto, dangerous/sketchy/seedy (in reference to poor PoC neighborhoods), white trash, etc are all really classist terms and hella racist too. Think about it, why do we specify that the trash is white? Because all other trash must be brown, right? If you don’t have a claim to these words, don’t use them. 

Anyway, the examples could go on, and if anyone wants to add onto this, please do. I just don’t understand how a community that prides itself on fighting body-shaming and slut-shaming, could be so unequivocally class-shaming. In your own words, you better check your privilege.

To add: Every time you focus on shaming poor people instead of dismantling the system that makes it cheaper to exploit and abuse human, animal, and environmental resources, you are doing it wrong.
