This is still the actual best profile on OKC and probably the only one I would give a second thought.

“They’re not thigh rips, they’re speed holes.”

stvincentinexile:

If you are part of a privileged group and have to constantly demand that somebody in an oppressed group say “not all (insert privileged group here) are like that”

what you are really demanding is that they reassure you that you’re not like that and you’re not being held accountable

which is a cowardly thing to do and also shows the great lengths you will go to in order to avoid examining your role in a toxic system

Superheroes Meet Native Design in Jeffrey Veregge’s Work

Graphic designer Jeffrey Veregge (Port Gamble S’Klallam) created his first ‘Native Superhero’ design just a few years ago, at a point when the Seattle-based graphic designer was searching for a new, personal and bold direction in his work.

So cool!

shortformblog:

In more really depressing news, viral video star Kai, a hitchhiker who we’ve posted about a couple of times on SFB due to his heroic act involving a hatchet, has been arrested and charged with murder in the beating death of a man in New Jersey. While he claims (via a Facebook comment posted before the news broke) that the man drugged and raped him, he nonetheless is being held on $3 million bail.

Holy shit. If that happened, good. Kill all rapists and free Kai.

(boost the signal)

Charles Ramsey is a hero. He doesn’t wear a suit of high-tech armor. He doesn’t wear a cape. He’s just an ordinary guy,living an ordinary life.

Then, he saw a woman asking for help.

And he helped her.

He didn’t walk away.

He didn’t think of himself.

He just helped her.

It took less than a day for someone to make this heroic man into a joke.

As proud as Charles Ramsey makes me to be a human, those people make me ashamed.

No, he doesn’t speak perfectly.

No, he didn’t take the time to fix his hair before he went on camera.

He’s an African American man from an economically depressed neighborhood, city, and state.

And for that, he’s mocked and ridiculed.

It breaks my heart.

Now, in yet another heroic moment Mr. Ramsey’s response to Anderson Cooper’s inquiry about a possible reward Charles has proven he’s truly worthy of the hero mantle.

No, no, no. Bro, I’m a Christian, an American, and just like you. We bleed same blood, put our pants on the same way. It’s just that you got to put that – being a coward, and I don’t want to get in nobody’s business. You got to put that away for a minute…I tell you what you do, give [the reward] to them. Because if folks been following this case since last night, you been following me since last night, you know I got a job anyway. Just went picked it up, paycheck. What that address say? […] 2203 Seymour. Where are them girls living? Right next door to this paycheck. So yes, take that reward and give it to—that little girl[.]

Thank you Charles Ramsey.

Thank you.

The full interview w/ Anderson Cooper can be found here.

Turns out not only does he have a criminal record for domestic assault and battery, he took most of the credit even though he was not the one who kicked open the door and help the girls out. The biggest hero was a latino man with limited English, Angel Cordono. Adds a whole new dimension to this mess.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/09/angel-cordero-cleveland_n_3246207.html

Charles is a flawed hero, mocked for mannerisms and who then has his record brought to light. Meanwhile, the even greater hero who has barely been recognized is latino. What happens now that the hero and perps are hispanic? What other awful shit is gonna get said?

Sleepy Wilkie on a Sunday afternoon.

I’m seriously offended that this picture of my baby hasn’t gotten more reblogs and likes. I feel like Tumblr has weighed the adorableness of my child and found him wanting.

LOOK AT HIM! LOOK AT THIS ADORABLE, SWEET BOY! HE IS SUNSHINE AND MOONBEAMS AND ALL THE GRACE OF THE WORLD COMBINED.

TW: Diet talk, body hate, fat hate

Since I’ve moved from FL back to IL, I feel inundated with body hatred. It’s tough not having my core group of friends here. Surrounding myself with beautiful women of all shapes and sizes is such a great way to feel lifted up and empowered. Also, I didn’t see or hear from my family as much.

My brother is on his third juice fast within 6 or so months. Ya know, where you starve yourself except for fresh juice for however long you choose. I told him from the beginning that this whole experience of his brought up a lot of complicated thoughts and feelings that I didn’t feel would be productive to discuss (because he wouldn’t care.) I told him that I want him to be happy and whatever his journey is, then I hope it leads to that in the end but that I wouldn’t partake in the celebration of changing his body when I felt there wasn’t anything wrong with him. Like there isn’t anything wrong with me.

He said he understood. However, 6 months later, he’s lost 100+ pounds. I won’t comment on the health risks of such rapid weight loss, as I’m not his doctor and it’s not really my business. However, I don’t feel that behavior is any more healthy than my fat body and my choice not to diet.

The more weight he loses, the more insensitive and self-absorbed he becomes. It’s incredibly difficult to have even a pleasant phone conversation. Whenever he calls, I sigh. I don’t want to talk to him because it all circles back to weight. EVERY TIME. I can’t deal with it.

After seeing him and my parents for the first time since my wedding (2.5 years ago), this past January, I was reminded how being fat disgusts my father. When I ordered the banana split for desert one night, I thought his eyes were going to roll out of his head, onto the floor, and out the fucking door. When the thin people at the table ordered deserts, my father didn’t have any reaction.

Once I arrived home, my father and I had a talk on the phone where he told me it was selfish to be fat…because people loved me and my health wasn’t just about myself. His intentions were good apparently.

Not only did I just find out that I had PCOS, which was likely causing inexplicable weight loss for years because it was undiagnosed, but I was also diagnosed with lupus which makes me tired and sore all the fucking time.

Not that it matters what factors play into my weight. But, I would think my father would be concerned with my underlying health conditions and not how I fucking look.

Fat is the ultimate to some people. Just stop, stop being fat because it’s selfish. Are you fucking kidding me?

So my brother is all over social media talking about his weight loss, and how seeing fat people eat disgusting food makes him feel good that he makes better choices now?

Every phone conversation is a triggering experience. And not being able to articulate my thoughts and feelings to them is so frustrating. They’re incredibly defensive, irrational, and unsympathetic so it would be pointless.

But how the fuck do I go on when I feel so triggered with every chat? Every conversation is about the wrong choices I’m making and the brave ones my brother is making. It’s not brave to starve yourself to fit into some box. It’s brave to stand up and be who you are no matter what anyone else thinks you should be.

Lately, I have had to remind myself constantly that I am deserving of respect and my feelings are valid. I have to tell myself my body is great, and that my family shouldn’t be so invested in what I look like. Because when you think about it, that’s disturbing.

Fuck, I miss Florida.

Why have piss shit family when you can have a league of adoring internet followers?

The trite thing I say to myself every time shit sucks but ultimately end up being true:

It doesn’t feel like it, but it will get better.

Not today, but it will get better.

It may not be the ideal better I want it to be, but it will be better.

Fuck those guys, I only feel bad, and they are bad.

You’re great. You’re a great writer, and your an inspiration (no thinspo, no fatpso, just is-spo.)

feministwerewolf:

If you see a post that says “hey, don’t appropriate our culture because you’re people committed cultural genocide against us” That isn’t an invitation to pour your white guilt tears over the post. I don’t care that “not all white people are x” (guess what? I already know that, you stupid shits. but if you make that argument you sure as hell fall under x, because all of the white people in my life don’t, cause they’re awesome and know that PoC feel inclined to air their frustrations with the white supremacist power structure.). Take a moment to think about why you feel like you want to say that. You are trying to argue with us telling you to not steal our culture. You are saying that your feelings and opinions are more important than those of the hurt parties and the originators of said cultures. Examine yourself for a moment and realize that you have no right to be mad just because you don’t get to “play indian”
