stop telling your daughters that hair-pulling and teasing is a sign that “he likes you!”
a little boy picking on a little girl doesn’t meant that he likes her, it means he’s a little shit (⊙‿⊙✿)

In 2011, Facebook Ireland paid just $4.7 million in taxes on its…
Die in a fire, Facebook, you fucking deadbeats.

Why Dove's "Real Beauty Sketches" Video Makes Me...
jazzylittledrops:
So this video started going around my facebook today, with about a dozen of my female friends sharing the link with comments like, and “Everyone needs to see this”, and “All girls should watch this,” and “This made me cry.” And I’m not trying to shame those girls! I definitely understand why they would do so. And I don’t want to be a killjoy. But as I clicked the link and...

When Oscar Wilde was asked to list his 100 favourite books he said he couldn’t because “I have only written five”.
Don’t forget his famous last words:
“Either this wallpaper goes, or I do.”
You, I like.
Also “Be yourself, everyone else is taken.” And “Sometimes I’m so clever I have no idea what i’m...

world-shaker:
The bill says the First Amendment only applies to the federal government and does not stop state governments, local governments and school districts from adopting measures that defy the Constitution. The legislation also says that the Tenth Amendment, which says powers not reserved for the federal government belong to the states, prohibits court rulings that would seek to apply...

– “You are being lied to about pirates” by Johann Hari
this is from 2009, i think, but the issues brought up are still relevant even though it’s 2013. instead of attacking imperialism & neocolonialism it is easier to attack somali ~pirates~. no one talks about resistance vis-a-vis piracy, or...

Never say these things to someone dealing with...
Anxiety: Just calm down, everything will be fine. There is nothing to be worried about. Stop freaking out all the time.
Depression: Stop being sad all the time. People out there have it worse off than you. Cheer up nothing is wrong.
Sexual Orientation: It's just a phase. How can you know you are____ unless you had sexual experience.
Bipolar: It's just mood swings, everyone has them.
Self harm: Stop seeking attention. Stop trying to kill yourself.
Eating disorders: Just eat. Stop being so picky.
Abuse: Report who hurt you.
Suicide: Stop being so cowardly.
Sexual assault: You shouldn't have dressed like that. We were drunk, but you still said yes. You never outright said no.
Multiple Personality Disorder: You are making it up. There is no such thing. They are just your imaginary friends.
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder: It happened in the past, stop obsessing over it. Get over it.
Please never say any of these things to someone who deals with these isues. If you hear someone say something like this to you or someone else, please say something.

futuristgerd:
It’s easy to see why open education resources and the startups taking advantage of them are frightening the [bleep] out of traditional textbook publishers. Boundless textbooks are completely free and don’t come with the expiration dates one finds on textbook rental platforms and doesn’t require students to deal with bookstore buybacks.

: [Trigger Warning: Abuse in a prison setting;... →
When a sheriff called Joe Arpaio began forcing prison inmates in Phoenix, Arizona, to wear pink underwear, he became a national talking point.
The move was among a raft of hard-line policies which also saw prisoners housed in tents in a city where daytime temperatures can approach 48C and forced to work in chain gangs. It saw Arpaio dubbed: “America’s toughest sheriff.”
It has also garnered...
