especially when dealing w/ self-identified black folks from the US and folks we read as black, who may or may not incorporate imagery and/ or items from groups of ppl indigenous to this place we call the US.
not all of us know ourselves in such a way to include or exclude white folks or indigenous folks when discussing who we are.
some of us just know our phenotypes — which give us (and...
3 Weeks From Now...
lifeofanappyheadedfatchic:
I’ll be laying up in a hospital bed, recovering from my surgery.
As I get closer, I find myself dealing with “deep” things. I’ve been in therapy, unbeknownst to most around me (but I guess so now) and a lot of things have surfaced for me.
The most recent thing is the idea of shedding my shell. I have experienced significant sexual trauma in my life, starting at an...

radicallyhottoff:
so I’m making it a separate post—but—yeah, tequila made me think about how latinos are represented, especially in context to booze, and then all the “i don’t get it how is it rape” made me think about how people are iron clad fucking ANIMALS when it comes to knowing about what’s legal with immigrants—WHEN YOU COMMIT A CRIME, YOU DON’T GET REWARDED WITH CITIZENSHIP is the whole...
Beware
atapestryofdisasters:
so, um yeah.
if you found me via the “social justice assholes” list, all i can say is i’m damn proud to be on it and in the company of the other Tumblrs on it.
if you are here because you, like me, figure that anyone who is called a social justice asshole by white Libertarians is probably pretty cool, allow me to warn you of who i am:

Kinky Black and Male
dingane1:
For those that have followed me for any amount of time are probably aware of my kinky sexual personality, which I love. I am indeed kinky. But I wish to share some of my experiences and frustrations as a black kinky male.
As we know America is a sexually repressed society and the Kink community exists as a non-judgmental space for people to explore, indulge, and enjoy relationships and...

hornitos tequila and their parent company (beam global) will rue the day someone gave the green light to that fucking commercial.
also: deleting our comments while we simultaneously post the text here doesn’t help shit.

Hornitos has deleted all of our comments.
atapestryofdisasters:
so this is what i just posted:
oh hey, and guess what? deleting posts that ask *you* as a company to “behave responsibly” does not fix the problem. non-consensual sex is still rape, and rape is still never a punchline, nor romantic, nor something to be used to sell drinks.

An Open Letter to Hornitos Tequila and Hulu.Com
peecharrific:
To Hornitos:
Dear Sir or Ma’am:
I find it odd that at the same time your commercial about the twin brothers promotes date rape and sexual assault, you advise your customers to “be responsible” with your beverage. Your commercial is harmful and disgusting. Rape is not a joke. Date rape is not a joke. Every 2 to 3 minutes in America another woman is raped. Those survivors who...
Goodbye Food Pyramid hello Dinner Plate →

The Obama administration is about to ditch the food pyramid, that symbol of healthy eating for the last two decades. In its place officials are dishing up a simple, plate-shaped symbol, sliced into wedges for the basic food groups and half-filled with fruits and vegetables.
