It's annoying.
That Granbo post has 80,000 notes, and most of the people reblogging it have no clue it’s a Weekly World News story from 2000 because they didn’t think to check it out for themselves.
Something about that just annoys me.

"I'm not racist but..."
shadesoflolita:
congratulations!
You’re racist!
I really wish I had enough money (and intestinal fortitude) to take a shot every time I see someone on Tumblr casually toss out the term ‘racist’. I mean, hell, there’s a contingent on this site strives to express how un-racist they are by screeching about how all white people are racists. (and/or oppressors)

Blah damned superior acting “independents” and “libertarians”. It’s just like how some agnostics act like they’re better than theists and atheists for their zenlike state of “IDEK”

Anonymous asked: I think you should actually start playing roller derby before picking out a name. It's definitely frowned upon when someone first starts training and already has a name.

Chick-Fil-A and 'Thought Policing'
I think it’s important to clarify the issue here. This controversy has gone national precisely because the Cathys, despite their insistence that their lack of a record discriminating in their restaurants buys them brownie points, contribute to hate groups and lobbying efforts that seek to accomplish the following:
Re-criminalize gay sex
Restore DADT
Uphold bans on adoption by gay...

A close encounter of the evangelistic kind
stuntnuts:
Today on the bus, someone heard me talking about my beliefs (I’m an atheist and a humanist.) and asked me: “But, aren’t you afraid you might go to Hell, you know, if you’re wrong?” I asked them: “Are you afraid Santa isn’t going to bring presents for you on Christmas morning?” It’s the same thing, people.

Slut Shaming and Cheating
wswni:
In light of Kristen Stewart’s cheating scandal (if you want to call it that, it could also very well be a publicity stunt) and a gif i recently saw that said “Close your legs to married men”, I want to talk about cheating and slut shaming and how it correlates (because, believe me, there’s a correlation). Forgive me for the heterosexual nature of this post, but it’s a lot more obvious...

Per the NYT:
“That sets up a potentially tricky issue for Republicans. They have said they do not want taxes to go up on anyone while the economy struggles to gain altitude, but under their plan, written by Senator Orrin G. Hatch of Utah, the senior Republican on the Finance Committee, about 13 million families would see their tax refunds reduced, and some would see their taxes...

parisheroinstars:
Cheating is never ever ever ever okay, and its an almost unforgivable act to me. But the fact that Kristen Stewart had to PUBLICLY apologize for it is horrendous. Why should the public be a judge of her relationship? Celebrities are put on this pedestal and if they do anything even minor wrong in their personal life they, like politicians, have to make it up to the public/their...

After all, how much money do they...

But it does surprise me that I’ve only gotten one response, and it’s not from someone who unfollowed. I’d hope everyone who reads a controversial story would want to determine (to the best of their ability) what actually occurred before formulating an opinion.
Apparently that’s too much for a few of the folks on Tumblr.

Or is everything I’m seeing speculation? I ask because the first post I saw under the tag contained an article that stated only that she’d ‘been assaulted’ (which can mean a lot of things legally) and photos had been taken of the acts and distributed via social media.
So, does anyone know what really happened here?

Insults for able-bodied fuckers?
socialjusticeally:
toughfemme:
All I can ever think of is able-bodied fucker, I want more words to call people out on their ableism.
Having an able body isn’t an insult, calling out privilege isn’t an insult, and the desire to insult people regardless of circumstance is an exercise in intolerance.

I read comic books. I adore super-heroes. (And even some of the anti-heroes) In part, I do this because there’s a sense of justice in these fantasies that is impossible in reality.
People have the ability, perhaps even the inclination, to lie, cheat, hurt, and kill one another. In a comic book,…
