“I’m color blinde(sic) to race” is one of the funniest things I’ve read all year.

Just a quick FYI to the LGBTQ community: “straight” people aren’t the only “breeders.” Just so you know.
Sincerely,
The queer person whose queerness has been questioned ever since they’ve had kids.

earlier this evening, before my headwrap slid off. I was on my way to meet @happygreentea. you care.
I’ve seen this shared a few times now and, to be honest, this kind of bothers me a little bit, but I’m not sure if it’s my place to voice that concern or if the feeling is legitimate.
Given the way Jada and Will talk about their relationship with their children, the work that they’ve been doing in political spaces, and the type of music/art that Willow has been producing, I have no doubt that she’s probably familiar with these amazing folks on the shirt.
But this is obviously shopped.
And there’s something weird and appropriative about non-consensually using the body of a Black girl, especially one who is in a business that requires owning your image in order to make profit, to sell products produced by someone who appears to be a non-Black person using AAVE.

I’m perpetually stretching myself.

Lynn Chen and Lisa Lee: Why they kick ass
“We wanted to create a place for Asian American men and women to come together, to share, to discuss, and more importantly, to find support for something that has been acknowledged on the surface, yet largely ignored in our community,”
- Lynn Chen started a food blog, The Actor’s Diet, after years of battling eating disorders. In 2011, she stumbled upon an interview on NPR with Lisa Lee, in which Lisa discussed the story she wrote for Hyphen magazine about her past struggles with food and body image. After listening to and reading Lee’s story, Lynn immediately knew they had to connect.
- “I didn’t even know what I wanted from Lisa, but I felt compelled to start something, I’ve been looking for something concrete regarding Asians and body image for years. When I first began my therapy in my 20s, I had contacted various national eating disorder groups to see if there were any support groups for Asians. I was left at a dead end, and the messages I got over the next decade were that eating disorders and body image were not problems that affected people in my community. “
- The two women connected over their experiences via emails, phone calls, and in-person at a tasty scones cafe (of course), and together, they decided to launch this site – “Thick Dumpling Skin” – to provide a space for everyone who may have felt alone in their struggle.
- Thick Dumpling Skin is a vibrant community for Asian Americans to share and discuss our unhealthy quest, past and present, for the “perfect” body. Our struggles with food & body image are not merely about will power – they’re social, cultural, and familial.
“We want to hear your thoughts and stories. We want to know what you’ve been taught, and what you’ve discovered. We want you to find comfort in each other’s stories, and together, we’ll grow some thicker skins, and learn to love them as well.”
amazeballs
If you’re “mature” enough to have sex, you’re mature enough to deliver the baby you’ll possibly create, abortion isn’t an option.
if you’re “mature” enough to own a gun, you’re mature enough to die from being fucking shot. medical care isn’t an option.
If you’re “mature” enough to eat, you’re mature enough to get food poisoning. Going to the hospital isn’t an option.

To all those who don’t think the rape joke was a problem, or rape jokes are a problem.
I get it, you’re a decent guy. I can even believe it. You’ve never raped anybody. You would NEVER rape anybody. You’re upset that all these feminists are trying to accuse you of doing something or connect you to doing something that, as far as you’re concerned, you’ve never done and would never condone.
And they’ve told you about triggers, and PTSD, and how one in six women is a survivor, and you get it. You do. But you can’t let every time someone gets all upset get in the way of you having a good time, right?
So fine. If all those arguments aren’t going anything for you, let me tell you this. And I tell you this because I genuinely believe you mean it when you say you don’t want to hurt anybody, and you don’t see the harm, and that it’s important to you to do your best to be a decent and good person. And I genuinely believe you when you say you would never associate with a rapist and you think rape really is a very bad thing.
Because this is why I refuse to take rape jokes sitting down-
6% of college age men, slightly over 1 in 20, will admit to raping someone in anonymous surveys, as long as the word “rape” isn’t used in the description of the act.
6% of Penny Arcade’s target demographic will admit to actually being rapists when asked.
A lot of people accuse feminists of thinking that all men are rapists. That’s not true. But do you know who think all men are rapists?
Rapists do.
They really do. In psychological study, the profiling, the studies, it comes out again and again.
Virtually all rapists genuinely believe that all men rape, and other men just keep it hushed up better. And more, these people who really are rapists are constantly reaffirmed in their belief about the rest of mankind being rapists like them by things like rape jokes, that dismiss and normalize the idea of rape.
If one in twenty guys is a real and true rapist, and you have any amount of social activity with other guys like yourself, really cool guy, then it is almost a statistical certainty that one time hanging out with friends and their friends, playing Halo with a bunch of guys online, in a WoW guild, or elsewhere, you were talking to a rapist. Not your fault. You can’t tell a rapist apart any better than anyone else can. It’s not like they announce themselves.
But, here’s the thing. It’s very likely that in some of these interactions with these guys, at some point or another someone told a rape joke. You, decent guy that you are, understood that they didn’t mean it, and it was just a joke. And so you laughed.
And, decent guy who would never condone rape, who would step in and stop rape if he saw it, who understands that rape is awful and wrong and bad, when you laughed?
That rapist who was in the group with you, that rapist thought that you were on his side. That rapist knew that you were a rapist like him. And he felt validated, and he felt he was among his comrades.
You. The rapist’s comrade.
And if that doesn’t make you feel sick to your stomach, if that doesn’t make you want to throw up, if that doesn’t disturb you or bother you or make you feel like maybe you should at least consider not participating in that kind of humor anymore…
Well, maybe you aren’t as opposed to rapists as you claim.
