sexualizing mental illness and all that jazz
desliz:
So Angelina was clearly not sober at the Oscars, and tbh between presenting and Brad being nominated, it really doesn’t surprise me that she felt the the need to loosen up and overestimated what she’d need to do so. But I keep seeing this comments about people hoping that “crazy Angie” is back, and it weirds me out to no end. You mean, crazy Angie who was always spilling her guts about...
ZACH COOKS METH

I know this because he told me
I don’t cook meth, I density match water with glycerol so my fucking plastic colloids suspend properly.
All I was able to parse from that sentence is that you cook meth.

Seattle’s vision of an urban food oasis is going forward. A seven-acre plot of land in the city’s Beacon Hill neighborhood will be planted with hundreds of different kinds of edibles: walnut and chestnut trees; blueberry and raspberry bushes; fruit trees, including apples and pears; exotics like pineapple, yuzu citrus, guava, persimmons, honeyberries, and lingonberries;...
Freedom of Thought: A Poem
I had a free thought once
Then a Marxist on the internet said my thought was wrong
My thoughts were, like, totally enslaved
No more freedom of thought
Abalism
White Buddhists
marxandsparks:
you are probably an Orientalist, this is not ok.
Stop it.
“Freedom of thought” may be the most absurd concept I’ve seen someone try to pull on tumblr since “self-ownership”.

because its appropriative, ignorant Orientalist horse shit. .
Being a white Hindu/being spiritually connected to Hinduism is Orientalist and appropriative? Freedom of thought, freedom of religion? No? They don’t exist?
NO BECAUSE YOU...

Even though you know, transethnics are fucking racist as hell and base their entire shit on stereotypes.
And transabled people wish for a state of being that nobody fucking deserves.
I’m offensive. Gah fuck you.
Just because it’s the twenty first century doesn’t mean EVERYTHING has to be accepted. And in this case I WILL bring up this dead horse argument: should I...
“Justice will only exist where those not affected by injustice are filled with...”

More and more I come to the realization that my interactions on tumblr are shaped by Plato more than anything else.

People like Tim Wise are a blessing and a curse.

sinidentidades:
I won’t even try and dismiss the idea that some of what Tim Wise has said is really problematic, but that’s for another conversation. White people like Tim Wise are both important and dangerous. They’re important in the sense that white people won’t listen to PoCs when it comes to the concepts of whiteness and white privilege.
Of course, that says something even...

today on tumblr:
White men get away with rape, abuse while black men have a lot of attention paid to their crimes
Men are allowed to make jokes about womens’ bodies because it is funny
Posting bizarre porn gifs is marginalizing

In Los Angeles, mass stops of young African American men and boys resulted in the creation of a database containing the names, addresses, and other biographical information of the overwhelming majority of young black men in the entire city. The LAPD justifi ed its database as a tool for tracking gang or “gang related” activity. However, the criterion for inclusion in the database is...

New Leftists.
a-higher-level:
Oh my god how can you even try to defend that excruciatingly ironic original post, its not like the New Left was some minor offshoot, its a huge fucking deal and to not even know it exists one has to be completely unaware of the dominant strains of left wing thought since at least the 1960s, which would place one squarely into the category the OP was trying to put down.

The butthurt among certain young leftists right now at learning the limits of their own knowledge is making my weary heart smile.
It’s not not knowing things that’s a problem. It’s refusing to acknowledge the limits of your knowledge that’ll fuck you sideways.

Okay yes the “New Left” was a thing, sure. This is “New Leftists,” which is more obviously an allusion to “New Atheists” than an ignorant attempt to ‘coin’ a term that already existed. Nobody in the New Left called themselves New Leftists, so you’re just grasping at straws here for… I honestly don’t know why actually. In any case, the OP’s got a point, and its fucking obnoxious to...

Protip: when you think you’ve created a new term for some political phenomena, it’s usually a good idea to google that term and see if it’s been used before and if so how. If you still want to use it, be ready to contrast it against previous usage and justify...

If you, at any age, viewed the movie Kids and thought “this is a desirable goal for me to aspire to” you should punch yourself in the genitals right now.
If someone IRL told me they base their life on the movie Kids, I would very quickly make my departure from the general area of that person and probably never return to that venue again.
