welp

and if any of you white people respond with “wait but I didn’t do that. that was in the past”

i need you to check your privilege

and then drink bleach if you think your hands aren’t dirty

They’re not.

Guilt doesn’t transfer from generation to generation. I am not magically accountable for something my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great grandfather MIGHT have done. Also;

>social justice blogger
>telling people to kill themselves

I love that there’s a blog called “this is white culture” that is solely devoted to bad things white people did, not their cultures at all. So I guess I can make a blog called “this is black culture” and post gang and crime records and that’s 100% okay. Or “this is Muslim culture” and make it all about terrorism.

But wait, you cry. Not all black people are criminals and not all Muslims are terrorists. That’s unfair! And racist!

WELL GOLLY GEE DO YOU THINK SO? Because saying that all white people are responsible for the Atlantic slave trade sounds pretty racist to me, given that, you know, that was between the African slaveholders and the British and Americans and had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with my ancestors, who were incredibly poor farmers and serfs from Ireland and Lithuania who had to flee to America at around the turn of the century (by which time slavery had already been abolished in the US) because they were being treated like slaves. Even if they had been living in America at the time when slavery was legal they wouldn’t have been able to afford a slave; in fact they probably would have been working with them in the fields and treated about the same, since the first slaves in America were actually white serfs. But please, tell me more about how dirty my hands are because of circumstances surrounding my birth that I could not control and continue to treat me differently based on the color of my skin without actually knowing anything about my heritage, I’m sure that isn’t racist at all!

So I got fired today.

I ain’t even mad. More time to write, make my podcast, sell my beauty supplies, and figure out what I want to do. Part-time, here I come.

Who Does this Merchandise at Target Look Like?

Sun, 19 May 2013 23:02:56 -0400

feministdisney:

from Jezebel:

The correct answer is: It’s Brave’s Merida. The more correct answer: It could be any of the white ones (so… almost all of them?) with a wavy — it’s not even curly! Jesus! — red wig on. Ugh!

Sold via Target as part of the “Ultimate Disney Princess” collection, this Merida is completely unrecognizable as anything other than a conservatively dressed Barbie with a weird belt on. I know these are generic dolls that the manufacturers make minimal alterations to and sell them as Disney princesses, but I suppose that’s part of the problem, right? One of the great things about Merida is her unique, unapologetic looks, and that’s something the public obviously feels passionately about. These ridiculously skinny, impossibly tiny-featured, giant-eyed weirdos don’t represent a spectrum of real women for little girls to aspire to. It’s fucking irresponsible, and annoying as all get out.

FOR FUCK’S SAKE DISNEY.

ONE CURLY-HAIRED PRINCESS. THAT’S ALL I WANTED AS A KID. ONE FUCKING PRINCESS WHO LOOKED LIKE ME WITH BIG, BUSHY, CURLY HAIR.

FUCK EVERYTHING.

Next time you’re involved in a telephonic sexual escapade (i.e. sexting), and your partner is close to orgasm, send hir a picture of Kramer from Seinfeld. Either zie loses hir arousal, or zie will cum to Kramer. Either way, it’s funny.

It’s called Kramering and it’s okay because Michael Richards is a dick.

I don’t understand why people yell. Like, I cannot think of a single situation where any party benefits from yelling. In fact, I cannot think of a single situation that is NOT improved by talking it out like a fucking grown-up.

This comes from a small private religious school in SC. Not great, but very faraway from being on the state curriculum. And miles a away from a separation of church and state issue.

I’m having a think.

Long story short, I’m training to walk a 5K and I really like it. So I have this idea to have a Starkid marathon where people raise money for a charity by walking/running/etc. and there’s a hashtag #RunningForStarkid. So yeah.
