i am so angry.
how am i supposed to be an effective, safe, healthy incubator for the next generation if i can’t have healthcare? how am i supposed to be able to provide for, feed, nurture my daughters so they can be effective, safe, healthy incubators if i am not allowed the coverage to take care of myself?
why do you hate me so much?

i’ve missed her so much.
i don’t even know why she didn’t talk to me for all this time, but it doesn’t matter.
focus on the future, not the past.
some of you lovely folks are awake.
who wants to help me work on my school re-acceptance letter? i write a whole lot better when i have a sounding board.
you’ll have my eternal love and knowledge that i’m not living in a cardboard box because i don’t have a degree, but because my degree won’t let me do shit.
pleeeeeease?
iced-chai asked: Hi, you do know that the beautiful Bernini marble statue you've posted and everyone is cooing over is actually depicting abduction/rape, right? http://www.students.sbc.edu/vermilya08/Bernini/Pluto%20and%20Proserpina.htm By all means, it is a great piece of artwork, but all of the posts seriously lack context. Just thought I'd give you a heads-up.

So rape culture’s kind of unsettling, hey?
I wish more people would step up and make videos like this.
I was so sure that this would end up being a “praise me, I’m a decent human being unlike all other menzz~~!” video, but it’s not.
Give it a listen.

Alyssa is really unhappy that the news is ignoring what’s going on in Libya (500+ people murdered by gov’t forces on direct orders, 3600+ injured, 1000+ missing in less than a week), Yemen (protesters being attacked by security forces), Bahrain (thousands protesting against their Sheik), Iran (protesters being shot), Mexico (53 people dead in 72 hours), New Zealand (state of emergency...

Top 10 Shocking Attacks from the GOP War on Women
corruptpolitics:
1) Republicans not only want to reduce women’s access to abortion care, they’re actually trying to redefine rape. After a major backlash, they promised to stop. But they haven’t.
2) A state legislator in Georgia wants to change the legal term for victims of rape, stalking, and domestic violence to “accuser.” But victims of other less gendered crimes, like burglary, would...

Statistically speaking everyone knows many people who have been raped and sexually assaulted. That is the problem. But I imagine most people do not just walk around with a sign that says, “I was raped.”
In making rape jokes, there is no doubt about it, you ARE hurting people who are around you. In making jokes about sexual assault, you ARE hurting people around...
