Gay Judge Refuses To Marry Straight Couples →
Dallas judge Tonya Parker says she won’t conduct any marriage ceremonies until she and every other gay person in Texas have the same right to marry. When she turns straight couples away, Parker tells them: “I’m sorry. I don’t perform marriage ceremonies because we are in a state that does not have marriage equality, and until it does, I am not going to partially apply the law to one group of...

Holy crap. (Don’t watch Sherlock, so I can’t confirm it, but if the information is accurate…wow.)

– Cracked, of all things. Seriously. Cracked is now doing better on gender politics than Tumblr. Just sit with that for a moment.
(NB: The rest of the article contains some of the same problematic stuff that’s in most Cracked columns, and for the love of all that is good, DON’T READ THE COMMENTS!)

remember in the sixth harry potter movie when they decided that dumbledore wouldn’t stun harry while he was arguing with snape so it went from harry being horribly helpless while his mentor was killed in front of him to harry standing there and idly watching him be murdered

another example of thin privilege, your body type doesn’t carry these negative synonyms

I always wonder as someone with thin(ish) privilege if it’s acceptable for me to label people fat (obviously only when they wear that label themselves)....

[TW unsafe abortion] Anatomy of an unsafe abortion →
prolongedeyecontact:
[This is a heartbreaking story about what happens when abortion is restricted and stigmatized. Legality is meaningless unless pregnant people can actually access safe, legal abortions. There’s nothing pro-life about giving pregnant people no options. Essay by Dr. Jen Gunter. From her bio: I was born and raised in Winnipeg, Canada and graduated from The University of Manitoba...

I know I don’t normally post serious things on this blog, but it’s just been brought to my attention that one of the Moriarty lines could be potentially triggering for child abuse victims.

fuck you, “Lovers Walk.” it still hurts.

also season six in general, watching it can be either hugely cathartic or incredibly triggering, but very few S6 episodes are fun or neutral.

These are, for the sake of space, paraphrased versions of the original arguments that I’ve seen floating around the internet, and some have been reworded to make them clearer. Included is my own commentary on why exactly each is racist, although most of them don’t need much explanation.
I talk about a couple character deaths in here, but I don’t think that really...

But that doesn’t excuse this. This is still abuse. It’s still fucked up and it’s still wrong. Just as beating your child is wrong, just as locking your child outside in the cold is wrong, calling your child stupid and other awful names is wrong, brandishing a gun at your child is wrong, hitting…
I still don’t understand how that is abuse. If had...

Now would be a great time to resign in protest.
What they just did, which was, let me remind you, posting screencaps of a woman’s rape that was uploaded to youtube, that goes so far beyond the pale of human decency….
I cannot believe they thought this was okay simply because they hid the identity of the woman.
