– Femmes and Family: I am Queer Intentionally (via spiritd3sire)
This is awesome, and really brings me closer to identifying with queer. Something I’ve felt restricted from.

Violence Goes To College →
…”The priorities of the campus are clear. An Assistant Professor earns an annual salary in the low $60,000 range; a Lieutenant in the campus safety department (the man who fired the pepper gas, for instance) brings home $110,000. Not to begrudge any public worker their salary (neither of these are in the league of the 1%). What startles is the divergence, and the system that honors...

Let me mansplain something to you...
…I would like to start a working list of how to spot mansplaining in the wild–when we are out of our feminist circles, in places where we feel comfortable but are confronted with blatant moments of sexism and are made to feel like we are imagining them….
This is not a big fucking deal–also known as, I understand that sexism is out there, but this is hardly an example of it–there...
