If you let one (truant student) run loose, what are you gonna’ do with the rest of ‘em? Let them go too?

Houston judge Lanny Moriarty • On his decision to sentence a 17-year-old honor student, who (since her parents divorced and both skipped town) has had to work both a full and a part time job just to support two siblings, to spend a day in jail, after she missed school recently. Diane Tran, who also takes dual-credit college-level courses, says that she’s often so tired that she finds it difficult to wake up for school. But that didn’t sway Moriarty, who chose to make an example of Tran. If you think this sucks, we direct you to this Change.org petition.

To the parents and judge; What The Fuck??

This is some pure fuck shit. You know good and damn well this was overkill. And now that is going to follow her the rest of her life. And for what? So you can feel high and mighty.

His name is Moriarty, of course he’s evil.

I’m (expletive deleted) starving.

Celebrity chef Mario Batali • Discussing the diet he’s currently on — he’s eating like he’s on food stamps (an average of $1.48 per meal, or $31 per week) in protest of potential cuts to the federal food stamps program. His family was nice enough to join him in what he calls a conversation starter about being hungry in the U.S. Unlike most people on food stamps, he knows ways to make the best of a bad situation, smartly sticking to foods like lentils, apples, rice, beans, peanut butter and jelly. But the problem is, eating good on a diet like this is tough, so many do not. Think his family’s experiment will be effective? (via shortformblog)

I think this is the key argument for those who think that poor people could eat better if they just tried harder. This guy prepares food for a living and he still cannot manage to do this without feeling like he’s going hungry. This is a problem.

“it’s just a video game/tv show/movie/book”

talldarkbishoujo:

…created by real life actual people in the real life actual world.

The media we consume is not created in a vacuum. Writing doesn’t happen in a vacuum. Media is a reflection of the world we live in. Good speculative fiction in particular has to be grounded in some level of realism for us as human beings in a mundane real world to identify with. Fantastical characters are often given less fantastical traits in addition to the strange ones in order to make them more relatable to the audience. I can’t especially identify with an alien assassin that has eidetic memory considering I’m not green, I don’t kill people for a living, and I forget where I leave my house keys half the time, but I can relate to a story about a father trying to do right by the child he abandoned and neglected. That’s a kind of universal idea, even if the parent and child in question are aliens on a space station.

It doesn’t matter if it’s an elf with magical tattoos, or the pilot of a starship, or a wizard, or a secret agent, or a cyborg or a vampire or whatever. People come to these stories bringing their own individual life experiences, and it’s natural for people to be reminded about things in their own lives. There are people in fandoms who experience the kind of things fictional characters go through in their real lives.

When a story includes sensitive real life topics such as abuse and prejudice, people who experience things like that are going to look at them—and the fans who discuss them—with heightened scrutiny. It has to be handled with care, and discussions surrounding them need to happen with sensitivity.

Most importantly, it doesn’t matter that it’s “just” a game/show/movie if the fictional people in question are saying the same kinds of things/behaving in the same kinds of ways that people do in real life when confronted with similar situations, and fans perpetuate the same kinds of harmful narratives about fictional characters that are used to hurt real life actual people, including other fans. That’s when shit starts getting real.

The pure fact that this doesn’t even need a title or a description or anything speaks volumes. I mean look at the number of notes this has. There are so few people who don’t recognize it. And the song itself just gives you chills. It’s so magical.

this makes me cry.

i cry everytime

fuck crying

At first I thought “Hmm… what’s this? I hope it’s not a troll post…”

Then it started.

And I saw it…

I saw everything again…

And I remembered the very last scene…

And I shattered.

“It’s important to clarify that sex education that teaches about pleasure doesn’t have to teach about technique (though elective college-level sex education that does this is great). Letting teens know that women usually achieve orgasm through the rubbing of the clitoris, whether fingers, mouth, object, or penis, isn’t the same as screening an instructional video on giving good cunnilingus. It’s not the same as writing down the names of sex-toy shops on the blackboard, or handing out diagrams of cool and exciting coital positions. And teaching that lubricants reduce pain and increase safety and pleasure during many kinds of sex should be thought of not as performance advice, but on par with vital lessons about condom use.

Real sex education is not the same as porn education. Instead, it’s about teaching that pleasure is an important part of any sexual relationship. It’s about teaching that there is nothing wrong with wanting to feel sexual pleasure and seeking it out, so long as it is done safely and responsibly. It’s about teaching comfort with one’s body and a lack of shame over desires, and there is more to sex for all people than sticking penises into vaginas. Real sex education teaches how to go about making intelligent , safe choices, rather than just stating the choices available. I believe there is a big difference. And I believe that teaching teens to make smart choices about sex must involve teaching them that having sex, partnered or alone, can be a smart choice”.
