If you have to terrorize your child to get them to respect you you’re not teaching respect, you’re teaching blind obedience to a violent power structure. You’re teaching them to be the bystander who watches a cop beat a person to death, to be the person who keeps walking when they see a man strike his partner, to be the person who watches a peer bullied in school – you’re teaching your child to embody the nothing-done while oppression triumphs.

accurate, but also please remember that violence (physical or psychological) against children is not wrong because of what it teaches them that they carry into their interactions with others, it is wrong because they are people with the right to safety and respect. you shouldn’t need to think about possible future knock-on effects to understand that terrorizing a child is wrong.

hey quick question why are all adult cartoons like that 

like why is it that adult cartoons could build upon this beautiful format for storytelling used in children’s cartoons to deliver more complex, powerful narratives and include themes with more depth and comedy that adults can relate to, but instead it means “hey here’s an array of every nasty vile bigoted thing u can think of drawn in the most tedious ugly obnoxious art style” like why did we go so wrong..

Dear White People,

THIS is how you ally. THIS is how you use your privilege to help us. THIS is how you earn our respect. The White college students in Cape Town, South Africa knew the police would not shoot or harm them so they created a human shield to protect the Black protestors. I’m crying. I’m crying.

BOOST THE SHIT OUT OF THIS!!!!

Yo I’m fuckin crying

When you have privilege and others don’t, you use that privilege to help others. You don’t just stand there and watch the less fortunate suffer.

Privilege ain’t shit if you can’t do anything good with it.

all “asylum” based horror: some guy obsessed with god and christian religion, some random dude facing a wall and talking to himself, ~~~i bet u thought a patient did this but in fact the doctors were doing evil experiments ooho how subversive~~~~, some dude laughing alone, writing on the wall about “them” or also about god, writing is all in blood somehow, a really buff patient out to kill you for absolutely no reason, if there’s a girl she sings a lot and acts like a toddler

 SO TODAY I was walking to college down a main road, it was really windy (as you might imagine with all the cars) and I was preocupied with keeping a grip on my beanie when I saw these two women walking a little way ahead of me on the other side of the road. One of these ladies was a bit taller than the other and they were holding hands (aww), the taller kinda butch lady had a flannel shirt on

(double aww)

and her partner/friend was wearing a cute cream and beige hijab. Now I swear to God this is relevant, wait for it.

A massive gust of wind suddenly comes tearing along the main road. I nearly lose my backpack, to give an idea of how bad it was. I look up and see the wind rip off this poor girls hijab and send it spiriling away down the street. (She had an undercap on so no major crisis but still, right.) 

Before. You. Can. Blink. Our taller flannel-wearing girlfriend of the year TEARS off her flannel like lesbian Clark f***** Kent, throws her shirt over her partners head, and BAM she sprints off LIKE A SHOT after the hijab. 

like 10/10, damn son, holy cheesits burrito, that is the very definition of chivalry and romance right there. 

chivalry isn’t dead it just got absorbed by all the lesbians

Jury nullification. Pass it on.

Jury nullification is so fucking important.

This is something that more people should be aware of, if only because (in many states, at least) defense attorneys are actually prohibited from mentioning it to jurors. The law allows a jury to return a “not guilty” verdict contrary to the facts of the case, but not for the defense to inform them of that power or to argue for its application in the current trial.

I didn’t know about this. Wow.

always reblog

This is SUPER IMPORTANT and also a good reason to show up for jury duty. You know all those laws you think are stupid? This is your chance to maybe do something about it. 

I…. I thought this was common knowledge… signal boosting this because it obviously isn’t!

Did not know this

Jury nullification in the United States has its origins in colonial British America. Similar to British law, in the United States jury nullification occurs when a jury in a criminal case reaches a verdict contrary to the weight of evidence, sometimes because of a disagreement with the relevant law.

extremely important: you cannot let the Judge know YOU know about this or you will not serve on that jury to even try this out.

What A Great Idea!

There’s a special place for your pet in this supermarket cart.

A cafe in Poland provides its guests with water for their pets. 

 These bananas are sorted by how ripe they are at the moment.

This pharmacy has a magnifying glass so people can read medicine labels more easily.

This pizza place has a display with all their pizza sizes and how large they are compared to each other.

I will take one Big Me

These are all great ideas, but isn’t proving water for guests’ dogs a really common thing? Or is that just in hotter places like Texas? Everywhere I’ve seen that has outdoor seating, and many places that don’t, have water bowls set outside for dogs.

I adore this.

It is. Sex work has more gender discrimination, more dangers, more hazards in general, so in many ways, sex work is generally harder work. It should be respected. And legalized.

Also, sex workers do not sell their bodies, they sell a service. Their bodies are still theirs and they can say no.

“Also, sex workers do not sell their bodies, they sell a service.”

This is so important.
