ashesforjustice:
…I wish more progressive Christians would speak out about queer youth homelessness or violence against the transgender community. Support for gay marriage is “easy,” not many deep questions must be asked of society, you know?
But when we speak of queer homelessness and discrimination against transpeople we must also discuss race, class, and the realities of poverty. We must...

Natasha: I was in deep cover as his personal assistant. No one on this team knows Tony Stark like I know Tony Stark.
Bruce: Okay, but there really is more going on there than the idiosyncratic playboy routine.
Natasha: There is nothing routine about his idiosyncracies.
Bruce: You have to understand, Tony is a man of science... and Stark International is one of the few companies out there that still believes in doing pure research, hard science for the sake of science. Working with Tony affords me opportunities that no one else can give me, that few researchers can ever hope to...

How to Cope with Blah Days
onlinecounsellingcollege:
1. Recognise that it’s a feeling – and our moods go up and down. Shrug your shoulders, grit your teeth and choose to make it through the day. Nothing’s really wrong – and there is nothing wrong with you. It’s just the way you’re feeling – and our feelings usually change.
2. Don’t be hard and condemn yourself. Don’t beat yourself up for feeling miserable and blah, or...

A day in which we had an adventure
doublesevens:
I saw a little lizard
Here I am, seeing him, and displaying him for your pleasure.
and I saw some flowers
and I slid down a steep grassy hill on my butt
And I saw some epic crashing waves and pretty colours and stood way too near the edge
and a cool inlet
FUCKIN’ CAAAAAVE. It was a big cave- we walked all the way through it and I got some serious cave-slime...

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.
Coming to Tumblr really opened my eyes to a lot of things that I took for granted. To put it in perspective, I started really thinking about race (in terms of my own actions) when I started following the Troy Davis story about two weeks before his murder at the hands of the state. That’s not a very long time. I am a BABY when it...

The Keystone XL oil pipeline would pass through multiple Indian reservations, which were formed under treaties that promised undisturbed lands. As the nations residing in those reservations have not approved the construction of KXL, any attempt to proceed with construction would be a violation of these pre-existing treaties.

Anonymous asked: I just wanted to ask a question - what do you think about trans* folks being included under the LGB banner? Like, I know some trans* folks are straight, so is it right to lump everyone under the same category? If I were talking about LGB folks and trans* folks, is it better to distinguish between the two ("LGB community and trans* folks") rather than just say "the LGBT...

How To Threaten Cathy Brennan
Cathy Brennan likes to say that she wants to have a conversation, she wants dialogue.
But she also says that at the post-Dyke March attempt to do just this, she felt more threatened than she’s ever felt by skinheads or homophobes or any shade of bigot because she was “condemned” for saying “trans* women are women but they aren’t female”.
Now, in any of the...

The magazine makes the case that the GOP’s allegations against Holder and the Obama administration aren’t just inaccurate—rather, they distract from the possibility that GOP’s politics are actually to blame for the deluge of three-quarters of a million American guns per year into Mexico.

The founding fathers, it turns out, passed several mandates of their own. In 1790, the very first Congress—which incidentally included 20 framers—passed a law that included a mandate: namely, a requirement that ship owners buy medical insurance for their seamen. This law was then signed by another framer: President George Washington. That’s right, the father of our country...
