They pay you less than a living wage to keep the cost of the product down. So the only products you can afford are the ones that contribute to the oppression of those just like you. And you keep buying things at their low low prices, letting them say “hey, we’re only selling it this cheap and paying our employees this little because it’s what the customer wants!”. Because...

– David Levithan - Supporting Gay Teen Literature (via cake-light)
SERIOUSLY! I’m sick of LGBTQ culture being treated as just some political issue. Queer people aren’t just a handful of people who want to get married, okay? We’re real, and we’re fucking important, and we need to be represented...

Tomboy Style →
rivertrash:
Thanks to that photo of Anjelica Houston floating around Tumblr, I finally found a style blog for me. Don’t get me wrong, I like a lot of fashion blogs regardless of how they dress because I can appreciate people who are creative, and a lot of them have good things to say about culture/feminism/life in general, but the blogs I read just aren’t my style. This totally is.
This is a...

But we really should be concerned that the best mainstream news source in our country is a satirical not-actually-news show.

Yes. MUCH much better than a(nother) mall in the city.
Oh, and I took those photos the other day early-ish without many people there. Today was quite busy.

There are many like them, but these are mine.
donnemoiuncrayon:
These are my breasts. They are not yours. Or yours. Or yours. They do not make me a woman. They may make me womanly and I have chosen to be a woman, but it is the choice and not the curve and swell beneath my camisole that makes it so. These are mine. They are, in fact, real and spectacular, but people without them and people with silicone and people who wish for some...

Teaching girls that their appearance is the first thing you notice tells them that looks are more important than anything.

Male Privilege
curiousaleta:
I’ve been reading a lot of feminist blogs lately and there has been a lot of discussion sexual assault and men not understanding boundaries. It reminded me of a Privilege Walk that I did during college. For those of you unfamiliar with a Privilege Walk it’s an experiment in which everyone starts out standing side-by-side and you move forward or backward depending on whether a...

Something I have to say about abortion
I know it’s largely a language and perception war we’re fighting… BUT I need to say this:
It doesn’t matter if your abortion is for your health.
It doesn’t matter if your abortion is is because of the fetus’ health issues.
It doesn’t matter if your abortion is to save your life.
It doesn’t matter if your abortion is because you already have a...

Best of The 'Bus (subject to change as I see fit)

The following list is a map to my favorite places. As the old saying goes “lists are like assholes, everyone has one and most are partial to their own.”. OK, so I updated it! Monthly readers such as Alive and the Other Paper have their own. After many years of following their “Best of…” editions, I was always disappointed that the places I thought were great were never...

POP: RGR Being Tumblr Mean, As Usual

I loathe hearing people talking about this “hipster” thing, as if it is a thing. Sometimes it is a thing, I guess, and if you are starting a discussion about hipster racism, or appropriation, or sociological functions of irony, or constructions of slacker consumption, or whatever, then I am totally down with your discussion. Or if...

No “boys” and “girls” at gender-neutral preschool in Sweden
A preschool in Sweden wants to eliminate gender bias by referring to children as “friends,” instead of girls and boys, and avoiding gender-specific pronouns such as “him” or “her.”
At the taxpayer-funded “Egalia” preschool in Stockholm, which opened last year for children ages 1-6, boys and girls...

It would also require doctors...
