I will never understand why girls do anal.

you don’t have a prostate bitch, you’re losing the ability to hold your poops for no reason.

Girls do anal because you can get an orgasm from the stimulation of your g spot from anal. Also the chances of anal prolapse because of regular anal is very slim. Unless you are doing extreme unlubbed insertions your starfish will be fine.

Anal sex isn’t for everyone , but its not as bad as people make it out to be.

Elon James White of This Week in Blackness asked me to be a part of this collective “stop and frisk” music video for the 10 Frisk Commandments Remix. Video features folks “rapping the personal words of the artists featured on the song speaking of contentious interactions with police officers and personal dealings as people of color.”

LIBERATION IS A COLLECTIVE PROCESS!

It was awesome to get Ms. Mock to be involved. Also featured? NY Times Best Seller Baratunde Thurston, NY Councilman Juamaane Williams, Daily Show Creator Lizz Winstead and a bunch more. The harrassment of people of color is a problem for EVERYONE. Reblog and spread the word. Help stop STOP and FRISK.

knowledgeequalsblackpower:

When White people miss the racial connotations of this song…….. it just pisses me off. Sorry. It may be petty to you, but to me.. it’s just a minor detail on a very long list of offenses against me as a Black woman.

First, the Black woman’s body is demonized and sexualized… seen as inferior. Especially her butt and hips. Then SirMixALot makes a song denouncing Whiteness and White bodies as a standard for beauty .. it may not be the best way or even a good song, but its something, ya know?

And what do I see in 2013? White people all over the dance floor… singing all the words to the song yet still fucking clueless as far as race relations go… clueless to their own history and ideas about my body that are blasting out of the fucking speakers.

All on tumblr sticking books and balloons in their tights, tryna make their butt look bigger… making lil videos and shit… dancing around in their living rooms in suburbia. They think they’re cute.

It’s just kind of despicable to me.

gaysealapproves:

take that Abercrombie and Fitch CEO

Helping the homeless ionically makes the maker of this video slightly less of a douche than the CEO. He made homeless people objects instead of subjects in this video. He used them like props, just as much as the clothes.

Not cool. Those are people.

Thu, 16 May 2013 19:52:58 -0400

“

Porn is about male fantasy. The fantasy is that women like everything you do to them, as man.

So how does this translate into real life? Women spend a lot of time and energy trying to please men. We learn early on that we are being looked at – that we are to be looked at. That we are performers. It took years before I actually started enjoying sex. YEARS. I think what I enjoyed most about sex, when I was younger, was the feeling of being desired. The actual sex part was super boring for the first while.

We learn, as girls and women, that the performance is more important than the actual feeling.

Man Accused of Plotting Mosque Bomb Plot Only Gets Sentenced to Halfway House

Tue, 14 May 2013 14:52:21 -0400

Man Accused of Plotting Mosque Bomb Plot Only Gets Sentenced to Halfway House:

faineemae:

A man suspected of plotting to blow up the nation’s largest mosque in Michigan will soon be living at a Howard Center-run facility in Burlington for people with serious mental illnesses, U.S. District Judge William Sessions III ruled Monday.

Roger Stockham, 65, has been in federal custody since Jan. 24, 2011, after police, acting on a tip, arrested him in Dearborn, Mich., outside the Islamic Center of America.

Stockham’s van was later found loaded with explosives, according to court documents. He suffers from a bipolar disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder, court records said

Stockham’s case involving his conduct in Michigan was heard in Vermont because he was on release conditions from an earlier federal case in Vermont when the Michigan incident occurred.

According to court documents, Stockham made similar threats in 2002 to blow up the Veterans Administration hospital in White River Junction and kill then-President George W. Bush and injure federal Judge J. Garvan Murtha.

Sessions said Monday he was convinced Stockham could be released into the community after reading a report from a federal prison psychiatrist that said Stockham did not pose a risk as long as he stayed on his daily medications.

“If you don’t take the medications you’re going to be coming back to court immediately,” Sessions told Stockham. “If you take the medications, all signs are you will do very well.”

This is so something I would have done in High school.

This is so something I would have done in High school.

"Tone matters, but not the way the OP understands it to matter. Tone matters, because people with..."

Tue, 14 May 2013 11:35:38 -0400

“Tone matters, but not the way the OP understands it to matter. Tone matters, because people with privilege use “tone” as an excuse not to listen to you. “Regardless of the content of what you said or the validity of your argument, because you did not say it the exact way I wanted to, I will invalidate you.” Or, “I didn’t intend for it to be offensive and I don’t find it offensive. What I do find offensive is your tone.” (eg. “I get to decide what is offensive.”)
This puts the responsibility on the oppressed. It suggests to people of color, to women, to gays, to any oppressed group that “if only they had confronted the discrimination they faced in a better (more tactical, more appeasing, etc.) tone, maybe the people who ignored them would have listened. It teaches them that they should not burden others with their stories. It teaches them that they are in part responsible for their oppression due to their poor use of tone, even though they have no power over how someone labels their tone and even less power over how they are treated. Which, come on. Deciding whether or not to listen is a choice. If the decision to ignore injustice hinges on someone’s tone…
It is very difficult to avoid this trap. It means playing offense and defense at the same time. The easiest thing to do is to try and given people fewer opportunities to attack your tone. But make no mistake: this also means capitulating to the same oppressive power dynamic that is silencing you in the first place. In addition to the outsiders who will police your tone, you begin to watch your own tone. Tone becomes a tool you use to amplify your voice and oppress yourself at the same time.
You stifle your outrage, your defense mechanisms, your right to speak out. You train yourself to talk about discrimination with a brilliant smile. You live with the anxiety and reality that they may slam your tone anyway, ignore you, anyway.
They remind you that they listen to you only because they are benevolent enough to tolerate your pleasant tone. Perhaps they will even give you benevolent advice on how to talk about your experiences, all while reminding you that while experiencing discrimination is not optional for you, listening is optional for them. That before they care about your pain, you have to remember to please them, first, by respecting their right not to be annoyed by you. You must be deferent to be viewed as worthy of consideration, goes the advice.
You allow them to argue that the way you say it is more important than what you are saying. Because the majority has deemed that only certain tones are appropriate when discussing these issues. Because those with power get to dictate how the victims talk about their own oppression. And you want to believe that maybe, maybe if you just say it the right way, this one time…people will listen.”

Knowing Coves: The Racist Myth of MSG and 'Chinese Restaurant Syndrome'

I was wondering about this, actually. We learned about glutamate as one of the amino acids… the “monosodium” part just means that it’s attached to a sodium ion and in salt form, like what we eat whenever we have NaCl (tablet salt). So yeah, there shouldn’t be anything wrong with eating MSG assuming the person can digest protein OK.

And let’s be real, it taste better with the MSG. It just does. I’m always disappointed when I see “no MSG” on take out flyers.
