i went to start a tumblr and found i already had one. somehow this is my relationship with technology (try it, abandon it, forget about it, come back)
Ladies put the “sex” in uni-sex
That’s fucking horse shit.
So… I’m never shopping here again. Hypersexualization ain’t cool, guys.

That is the most notes my selfie has ever gotten, thank you whitegirlsthatwearsbindis I am grateful
(and no I will not take it off the women and their husbands at the store where I buy my stuff (who are from India btw) tells me I look cute so Idc sorry if I offended you I hope your kids never wear something like that and if they do you can tell them not to, but I am afraid I’m not your kid and my mom says I’m cool)And this is why no one likes white people. Do you really think that the women and their husbands who are there TO MAKE PROFIT will tell you that you don’t look good in that? Common sense though.
P.S I don’t want you to be my kid.
They could just sell me the things I buy, and not say anything
P.S I don’t want new parents, never implicated I wanted you to be my parent. I’m sorry you hate white people. But frankly, it’s not my problem. If you don’t like me, that’s ok too. You have your opinion, and good for you!
Are you dumb?
Obviously, if they complimented, you’re gonna feel happy and then come back for more because they’re toying with your mind and feeding you exactly what you want to hear. It’s called business. The more you communicate with your customer, the more they’re going to come back because they have a sense of welcoming there. It doesn’t matter if you mean it or not. As long as the customer comes back, you’ll be as nice as you ever have to.
You’re right. I don’t like you. I don’t like anyone who thinks that it’s okay to appropriate someone else culture. Those people who sold those to you know what you want. They’re not idiots. They know what the public wants, especially what the white public wants. They know you want to feel ‘mystical’ and ‘exotic’ and if it means that it’ll give them profit, they’ll go for it.
As a non-desi, it is not your place to dismiss the opinion of a desi because of what business says. If you really wanted to appreciate my culture, you would listen to both sides of the story, not pick and choose the one that seems ‘less racist’.
The fact that you continue to stay the same and not change your ways after being called out by so many shows that you have little compassion for any of the cultures for which you are appropriating and you are lying to yourself and everyone around you by telling them that you care about other cultures and other people except for your own culture and yourself.
I don’t know why I click through to the Wall of Shame blogs. This one’s got it all! Male gaze-y nudity with a sizeable dose of “artsy” objectification intermingled with supposed social justice posts that are negated by unabashed appropriation. And of course Daenerys, the queen of the white savior complex.

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.

People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.

Aiya Van Kooten everyone
When Aiya Van Kooten stood face-to-face with a burglar in her bedroom, her left eye twitched, then she went into “predator mode”.
“I screamed at him… jumped off my chair, leaped over my bed and sprinted after him down the stairs,” she said.
http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/8626910/Predator-mode-scares-off-burglars
This is the best story of my life
“Although she was the only one home, Van Kooten said she had no regard for her safety - instead, she said she was just overwhelmed with “rage“….. ummmmm Hero!!!
Haha, badass Muslim woman. Love it!!!
This lady is so awesome. She lives with her grandma and was studying and had a towel on her head and no shoes but she chased them out of her garden, kicked one up the arse as he climbed a fence, they dropped a camera and laptop, she flagged down a passing driver to help her continue the pursuit, and it turned out he was ex-military, and they finally caught one of them in a park and pinned him as the police arrived. Now she’s going to visit the burglar in prison for the next few months to help with his rehabilitation.
So in summary:
This lady doesn’t just defend her home and loved ones, she will hunt you down, team up with other skilled individuals, get you put away, and then teach you the consequences of your actions until you’re a valuable member of society once more.
Seriously she’s a frigging superhero.
um damn
Superheroes exist.
