December 17th is International Day to End Violence Against Sex Workers. The day was created by the Sex Workers Outreach Project USA (www.swopusa.org) to call attention to hate crimes committed against sex workers. This day has empowered workers around the world to come together and organize against discrimination and remember victims of violence. The assault, battery, rape, and murder...

The New York Times reported a disheartening story about two of the largest retail chains. You see, instead of taking unsold items to sample sales or donating them to people in need, H&M and Wal-Mart have been throwing them out in giant trash...

VIGOROUS POLICE COMING THROUGH
haterina:
YOU CAN ONLY BE AN ACTIVIST IF YOU DO X Y AND Z
EDUCATING PEOPLE THROUGH THE DISSEMINATION OF INFORMATION AND PROVOKING CRITICAL THOUGHT DOES NOT COUNT AS ACTIVISM
PLEASE ONLY BOTHER BEING AN ACTIVIST IF YOU ARE ABLE TO GO AROUND AND SHOUT ABOUT THINGS THANK YOU
Activism is only for the able-bodied. If you can’t march around and shout then you are not important. We might...

radicallyhottoff:
to me, that picture represents a type of violence being perpetrated—and the camera is acting as a tool of oppression and violence—-reminding any “odd” person that their bodies, faces, mannerisms, clothes, do not deserve or demand integrity or respect.
also—this seems like a good time to remember…
Yes, this. Unwittingly repeats the objectification and...

– I only want to say this: whatever you say about a rape, any rape (or alleged rape, let’s be clear, because I am well aware that Assange may be innocent — or fictional rape, for argument’s sake, because whether the rape actually occurred or not is not relevant to this point) can be heard by others....

BBC Interviewer: Two police officers have been injured today, how do you feel about that? Do you feel this violence is helping your cause?
Protester: Myself and several other people I’ve seen have been hit on the head and in the face by police batons. The police have trapped us here. I’ve seen twelve year old girls trampled with bloodied faces.
BBC Interviewer: Why...
Wooooosah!
queerbrownxx:
That brought out the angry black girl in me. And the worst part is, you gonna defend your ignorance by calling it “freedom of religion” and “self-determination”?? Is this real life? Um, self-determination is exactly what you are PREVENTING from happening, what you’re making a MOCKERY of. You need to get the fuck over yourself.
Hell, yes. Since when did self-determination mean...
Reading Laurie Penny's live tweets of the protests...
haterina:
Oh my fuck. The police are beating people until they are bloody, beating someone they just pulled out of a wheelchair, beating people until they are unconscious, having horses run about…
All while the privileged fucks sit in their little tower, dealing out cards that will affect lives that they’ll never have to live.

Apology to @Challyzatb (Short Version)
I blew up on Twitter last week at @challyzatb when I misread what she had said and re-opened wounds for her that she wanted to avoid completely. It was totally my fault, not hers, and she deserved none of what happened. I will be doing a more full apology when I have more spoons. But for now, I apologise to you, Chally, for the harm I have done to you, harm which can not be undone.

I Wonder Why Anti-Kink People Don't Picket With...
Not that I want them to. I just wonder why they aren’t at all the BDSM clubs with these.

This is totally why I need a time machine. So I can go back in time and at least dance with Emma Goldman.

Transphobia Getting Me (More) Down
If you notice me only blogging happy, cheerful stuff like pics of attractive people, clothed or not, for a while, it’s because I’m currently being challenged with way too much depression (gotta love SAD) with a nice heaping dose of transphobia I’ve been experiencing elsewhere on top. So I’ll likely not be even reblogging the stuff that passes by on my dashboard about...

Blogosphere Love
rabbitarmy:
So, reading ye olde internets recently, I noted that Kinsey Hope at Genderbitch had had the misfortune of running into Carolyn Ann, troll extraordinaire. I have a few words for you, Kinsey.
Carolyn Ann, for those of you not lucky enough to know, is a crossdressing man whose chief hobby online seems to be finding trans women, telling them they’re wrong over and over until they...

queerphysicist:
I’m having one right now, and they suck. I feel a lot of shame associated with them- that I should just “get over it,” and that a stronger person wouldn’t be feeling the way I’m feeling right now. This is especially hard to shake when it comes to cultural gender stereotypes. I feel “unmanly” when I panic, and once I forced myself into a situation where I panicked...
Second Chances
indigoskie:
My hands on your hips, hips on the wall, hot breath and soft lips. Your moans in my mouth, skin on skin. I can’t breathe around this wanting, this thought, this you standing next to me. It crackles around me, desire, invading every thought, every dream, every moment. It’s the lines that don’t exist, except they do, because you step away when I think of kissing you, because there is...

“All men?” Oh she didn’t mean it like that. Except how she always does. Fuck you, KB.

In case people wonder why I agree that KB is a piss-taker, here you go. She seems to have an idea of herself as a man changed by various things,...

Trans women lucky enough to have had SRS arguing against extending rights to the 80% of trans women who are not lucky enough to have had that particular operation, who cannot afford it or can’t have it for medical reasons, or who do not want it.
Fucking cissexist colluders.
A Certain Boring Sameness to My tumblr Dashboard
When I scroll through my tumblr dashboard I can’t help but notice there’s a certain boring sameness to some of the photographs I see. Photographs of beautiful women, naked or clothed, all run together in a sense. Oh, look, it’s another young, thin woman. There are some exceptions (because I follow some kick-ass women) but too often it’s the same image of beauty that I...

This list is incomplete, won’t be the same for everyone, and was written by and hastily reflects the experiences of that fat bitch, Majestic...
