Mini Jessica Valenti. Says the exact same things fat people, trans people, and other marginalized groups have been saying for years and gets credit for being “original” and “ground breaking.” Throw in a bit of Islamaphobia and a non-apology apology and you have your typical special snowflake white girl who wants a cookie for being a decent human being.

A(nother) Modest Proposal →
Anyone who has played pick-up basketball has encountered the bratty, non-balling dude who will leave the court and take his ball with him if things aren’t going his way. I suggest that LGBT advocates take a lesson from that guy, and adopt a new campaign slogan: If we can’t get married, nobody can. That’s right.

If the guy’s older, you can call it a Roger Sterling costume, I suppose, and if he’s younger, a Pete Campbell costume. A chubby...

by A.D Song and Mia McKenzie
White people who are confronted with their white privilege and the white supremacist acts they perpetuate have been known to cry, “You’re being a reverse-racist!” That is completely true: people of color have the power and control to create, perpetuate, and maintain brutal systematic reverse-racism that oppresses white people every day. As such,...

Currently taking recommendations for the book club I’m doing with my little sister (so think young adult books/books for young adults, which can sometimes be different categories of books but you get the point, things that she can read and that I would still enjoy). Any recommendations?
