This is the big news of today and I haven’t seen it all over the place yet! The Navajo Nation (who has trademarked their name) is suing UrbanOutfitters. The suit is based on trademark infringement and violation of the Indian Arts and Crafts Act. This is going to be an awesome case!
for whatever reason I thought this was already a thing, but the AP just...

NOT BLACKFACE. NOT RACIST JOKES.
Nope, it was Chris Rock telling the truth about Hollywood’s racism:
“Chris Rock followed with a racial joke, about black men getting lousy roles even in animated films. It may have been in questionable taste, but it jarred the show closer to modern times.”
I know none of us are surprised but…are you fucking kidding...

that awkward moment
you try to make plans with your oldest sister [who is a raging republican that shudders even at the declamation that you are ‘liberal’.. is a Miami Dade police officer, and in general scares the crap out of you] for spring break, over-analyze every word you say, and hope that you can make plans to get lunch without either offending her or embarrassing yourself.
If this is the...

seriously
I just fucking love when white men tell women to just calm down. Like it is my favorite. thing. ever. Words cannot describe. Especially when those white men are cismen. It is so awesome. Like, I can’t explain. Because my poor tiny little baby brain just can’t handle thinking things through, ya know? So I’m glad that there are men out there who are kind enough to grace me with...

The 13 Point Program of the Young Lords →
malheureuxmarxist:
I’ve been making posts about organizations that focused on organizing the lumpenproletariat this week, with several posts on the Young Lords and Black Panthers. I wrote a comparison of the Young Lords 13 point program with the Black Panthers on my blog, as well as a short history of the role of women in changing the program:

Peace Corps?
My immediate connotations with the Peace Corps are definitely that icky feeling of white people saving the world and all of that. & I get that, and it is a valid and a very real mindset/occurence that doesn’t do any good for anybody.
I’ve looked into the projects that PCVs engage in, and whether they seem sustainable. Most do. Some folks teach English abroad, and I think that is a...

Is patriarchal in origin, or in any way offensive. But I just I like sayin’ stuff like that. I’ve tried really hard to stop sayin’ “dude.” It’s really hard, dude. I’m trying to incorporate “ladydude,” “ladybro,” and “ladyman” (because calling women “woman” holds offensive and dominant…

fsufeminist:
I saw a bunch of my friends commenting on this photo (which I decided to post as a link, as it is incredibly offensive to fat women) on the FSU Memes page.
To which I responded:
But as far as this picture goes, I find it incredibly offensive and hurtful. I have been picked on, spat on, had…

some days I wake up and I'm like, is patriarchy...
Cause I’ve been fighting it pretty diligently for like 3 years and I feel like it should be over by now. I get out of bed and I’m like, “I can’t believe this is STILL happening. Can’t we all collectively agree that this is not good for anybody?” But sure enough, I go about my day and I’m still living in a patriarchal society. Racism, homophobia,...
