Self-loathing is not a fucking character-builder. It doesn’t make you stronger. It doesn’t make you better. It’s just an ever-deepening, creepy-ass trap; a trap that is a huge moneymaker for corporations that do not have and never will have good intentions. You’re not disgusting. You’re not freakish. You’re not ugly. And you’re never going to be perfect. And holy shit, that is so okay.

This goes out to everyone at the Exeter Occupation. Never have I been amongst so many wonderful, intelligent, loving, accepting people. Didn’t spend much time there at all, but I concur - everyone I did meet was a star.
Verbal abuse is still abuse.It’s abuse in the form of words. They still burn, sting, hurt and put us in danger. Don’t assume that a few hurtful words won’t cause them their life. Don’t assume that just because you haven’t put one finger on them, you’re not responsible for what happens after that. Mentally and emotionally, they are bruising, bleeding, suffocating. Your words have power, be careful. Speak life and love. (Source: laffycathy, via thatryguy)

By this logic, we should feel sorry for rapists who assault people that are not considered traditionally attractive. This insensitive asshole is really lucky that the anonymous submitter blurred out their name before I got to it. Otherwise, the tubes leading to their Facebook inbox would be totally jammed.

Filed under: Yeah, this fucking happened.
This bombshell wearing just black lace, a pearl necklace and a white dog is Tammy Banovac, a retired surgeon in a wheelchair. She got down to her lingerie while going through airport security and still got a pat down. Twice.
Dr. Banovac always refuses to go through the metal detector. She has to use a metal wheelchair and that means that she always gets a pat down no matter what. Lately, she says she feels violated because the pat downs have become increasingly invasive during the last few months. “If it happened anywhere else, it would have been sexual assault,” she declared to a local newspaper.
She was so angry with the situation that she decided to change things. On November 30, the 52-year-old arrived to the Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma City en route to Phoenix, wearing just a trench coat. When it was time to pass through the check point, she took off her coat, stripping down to her black lace lingerie. She hoped that, by showing that she had nothing to hide, she would not be hand-searched.
Sadly for her, things got worse: The perspicacious TSA agents wanted her to go through the metal detector, anyway. When she understandably refused, they decided to give her a pat down.
At this point, the quick-witted TSA agents said they found traces of nitrate on her body. Banovac claimed that it was probably her medication or a result of a hunting day. However, since it’s obvious that the retired surgeon could be a secret Al-Qaeda terrorist carrying a bomb somewhere in her lace bra or panties, the astute TSA officials subjected her to a one-hour hand-search and interrogation. Yes, one hour.
As a result, she missed her flight to Phoenix and had to return home.
Yeah, I’m sure they found nitrate. Totally sure. Fucking disgusting. Unlike the masturbation at the Colorado airport story, this one’s real.

Frivolous Facebook Meme of the Day: Long story short, in case you’re not current on the latest Facebook meme, people all over the world have been changing their profile pics to cartoon characters from their youth to “raise awareness” for violence against children.
I am completely with Urlesque on this one: How is this helping abused children? Folks participating in this meme aren’t doing a thing to raise awareness for actions their friends can actually take to support this cause, just merely pointing out the fact that children are being abused while letting everyone know they once had a thing for Snarf. Beatification, ho!
Want to make a difference? How about skipping the silliness and plugging a charity instead. This is a good one. This is another good one. As is this one.
Facebook has the potential to be a powerful catalyst for social change. But these frequent Facebook charity memes are meaningless exercises in futility. People don’t need to be made aware that breast cancer exists or that child abuse is a problem. What they need are real things they can do to support individuals battling these scourges.
Like memes? Here’s a good one: Things that actually effect change. Feel free to spread it around.

It’s brilliant. Before Facebook, if I wanted to do something for charity, I had to spend either money or time/effort helping someone. Now I can ease my guilt by doing and spending fuck all.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lcx80bW2oa1qzpwi0o1_r1_500.jpg)

These are the words that define us and the freedoms that we claim are the same as they have always been.
Fucking and Feminism
Ladies, be warned: Your pussies are causing the downfall of society. If we keep posing for nude photos, sucking cock (and enjoying it), and getting Brazilian bikini waxes, our hard-won feminist gains will disappear, according to the latest generation of scolds and alarmists, writers like Ariel Levy (Female Chauvinist Pigs), reality show rabbi Shmuley Boteach (Hating Women: America’s Hostile Campaign Against the Fairer Sex), and Pamela Paul (Pornified). To them, fucking freely is bungling our climb toward equality. These well-intentioned prudes proffer a false choice: Be the next Jenna Jameson or support Hillary for president. There’s no room for a lusty woman in office (never mind Mary Carey’s political ambitions), and certainly no credence given to strippers or adult performers, who they see as airheaded sluts.
We’re in the middle of a culture war around sex, and it goes beyond left vs. right. Many of the voices quick to excoriate you for buttfucking, baring your boobs, having a threesome, or public sapphic smooching come from the left. Levy argues that women have to (and want to) out-‘ho ourselves to fit into our increasingly raunchy, male-identified sexual culture. She cites Paris Hilton as a lead “pig.” That the devil-may-care heiress wasn’t chastened for her slutty ways irks those who think women should never flaunt their bodies—even voluntarily. Blogger Twisty of I Blame the Patriarchy (blog.iblamethepatriarchy.com) incited feminist ire when she wrote, “There’s a reason that deep-throating a funk-filled bratwurst makes a person retch.” Holier-than-thou pronouncements of sexual superiority don’t scream “sisterhood” to me.

I’m gonna do another one of those queer and feminist theory based posts about being gay that contradicts mainstream thinking and may offend some of you if you just read my assertion and not my explanation. Being “gay” is a choice. Because “gay” is an identity. There are lots of other ways to understand oneself as being a man attracted to other men or being a women attracted to other women. You can be queer, two-spirit, on the down low, and numerous other culture specific identities for same gender attraction. Sexuality in general may not be a choice. We don’t have much control over what turns us on. But we do have some choice in how we understand ourselves because of that sexuality. I myself go back and forth between being “gay” and being “queer” in different situations as I feel like it. How I choose to identify myself and frame my sexuality is voluntary. And no, its not just the same thing and I am calling it two different things. Also this argument only protects “gay” people from hatred. What about transgender people or people who engage in BDSM, things more commonly viewed as choices by the larger culture. I purpose that regardless of choice we should not hate people on the bases of sexuality or gender expression.
