February 2012
Just a note to all my followers...
…that I’m taking a little Tumblr break so I can focus on my work a bit. It started out by accident, but after a day away I could see how addiction had been starting to break down my ever-tenuous time management techniques. I’ll be back around the Ides of March.
I just found an old "illustrated classics" edition...

CAN WE STOP WITH THE SELF-RIGHTEOUS OUTRAGE OVER BEING ACCUSED OF RACISM
CAN WE START WITH ASKING OURSELVES WHETHER WE ARE IN FACT BEING RACIST
AND CAN WE THEN PROCEED TO REALISING THAT POC KNOW MORE ABOUT RACE THAN WE DO AND WE SHOULD PROBABLY SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET THE EXPERTS SPEAK
THEN CAN WE FINISH BY PROFOUNDLY UNDERSTANDING THAT WE SHOULD BE 100% CONCERNED ABOUT...
Confession: I Hate Riley Too
cruelyouth:
racismschool:
I absolutely hate Riley as much as so many other people do. I spoke to soon and I finally looked at each and every link that people have been posting. I read post after post about what kind of person Riley really was. I was so angry. I couldn’t believe this was the person who I’d been such a fan of. Who’d actually been one of the inspirations for starting this blog in...

TO Westerners, the repatriation of five nurses and a doctor to Bulgaria last week after more than eight years’ imprisonment meant the end of an unsettling ordeal.
The medical workers, who in May 2004 were sentenced to death on charges of intentionally infecting hundreds of Libyan children with H.I.V., have been freed, and another international incident is averted.
But to many...

Just A Quick Note to Atheists (From an Atheist)
moniquill:
thefullmetalbitch:
Being an atheist does not erase privilege. This includes white privilege.
This also includes cis privilege, CNDP privilege, and het privilege.
Seriously, being an atheist does not erase your white privilege.
Criticizing exclusively (majority) non-white religions is racist. This includes Islam.
The existence of white Muslims does not invalidate this...

I am not down with violent intimidation as a parenting method.
And shooting a gun is about as violent as it gets without actually wielding a deadly weapon against the child herself. Shooting a pet would probably be a bit higher on the terror scale.. But it’s all in the same category of ABUSE. Like really, really, scary terrifying abuse. Where you would never feel safe around your...

Some people have questioned my using the term “child abuse” to describe Mr. I-shot-the-laptop. I am using the term accurately.
