Ms. Blaspheming Bitch: This is what kills me about that "We're all one; stop being divisive" bullshit rhetoric some of you spout.
It’s bullshit. Plain and simple.
When the body is wounded does it ignore the wound? No. It focuses its efforts on healing the wound as cleanly and efficiently as possible. There will be itchiness, discomfort, soreness, there will be pain, but never does the body ignore the…

Ms. Blaspheming Bitch: Why tone matters, and why it shouldn't

For your convenience, Fat Hate Bingo 1, 2, and 3 all in one photoset. Pull them out and play with a friend the next time someone on the internet thinsplaining to you why your body is wrong and you really should be ashamed of it. Y’know, for national security.

“From Sachs to Kristof to Invisible Children to TED, the fastest growth industry in the US is the White Savior Industrial Complex.
The white savior supports brutal policies in the morning, founds charities in the afternoon, and receives awards in the evening.
The banality of evil transmutes into the banality of sentimentality. The world is nothing but a problem to be solved by enthusiasm.
This world exists simply to satisfy the needs—including, importantly, the sentimental needs—of white people and Oprah.
The White Savior Industrial Complex is not about justice. It is about having a big emotional experience that validates privilege.
I deeply respect American sentimentality, the way one respects a wounded hippo. You must keep an eye on it, for you know it is deadly.

Arizona Senate passes a bill allowing docs to hide prenatal issues from women in order to prevent abortions
To borrow a gif from Ann Friedman’s epic piece today…

This is NOT the moment where we make statements like, “Oh, that’s just Arizona. Why don’t people move? What more do you expect? Oh well. *shrugs*.” Because you know who that helps? NO ONE. And you know what that make Arizonans who need/want access to abortion care feel like? Not important.
So, let’s make as much noise as possible. Don’t let this go by without us showing that we see, that we are watching, THAT WE CARE.
SIGNAL BOOST.
[NB: This law will affect more people than just cis women.]
It would appear that several states already have this shield law in place: Idaho, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, and Utah.
MIND BOGGLING.
Healthcare professionals are legally protected if they withhold information about a pregnancy? No. NO. NO.
I CAN’T EVEN!!!!!
WTF???????
“I’ve been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:
Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they’re in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?
We’re all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you.
”
Me: Because they’re in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?
