Hey there:
When you get on the internet and start talking about Native Americans, or African Americans, or people living in India, or Muslims, or really, whichever group you are talking about? They can see you. Because they are on the internet too.
If you say something stupid as hell? They’ll point this out.
Just FYI!
Have a nice day,

This is not a call for institutionalized censorship, you ignorant jack-asses. It’s a call for self-awareness, empathy, kindness, and possible even **gasp** self-censorship.
You have the right to say whatever you want. However, I have the right to think you are an asshole.
For fuck’s sake. Why is this all so hard?

thewayoftheid:
Whenever subjects like this are broached, there is always talk about what women allow men to do. This has become a reoccurring theme. Men can only do what women allow them to do.
Well kids, I’m here to tell you that’s that bullshit.

How long would it take to align every single level of privilege into a unified and cohesive whole that doesn't consider any level above or separate from the others?

What Siri's Blind Spot on Women's Health Really... →
No one owns the Internet, and we tend to assume that no one can control it. But this issue with Siri does show how easily a piece of code can shape our choices by limiting or controlling our options. […]

Confession by Louise Glück
earlyfrost:
To say I’m without fear— It wouldn’t be true. I’m afraid of sickness, humiliation. Like anyone, I have my dreams. But I’ve learned to hide them, To protect myself From fulfillment: all happiness Attracts the Fates’ anger. They are sisters, savages— In the end they have No emotion but envy.
