Cartoon: Backseat driver in Charlottesville

by rss@dailykos.com (Jen Sorensen)

I went to UVA and lived in Charlottesville for sixteen years, so the weekend's tragic events hit particularly close to home for me. At least two of my friends from college came close to being killed. The New Yorker interviewed one of them.

These atrocities were squarely the fault of white supremacists who came to Charlottesville looking to intimidate the community and pick a fight. While Trump has been rightly condemned over his "many sides" comments, it's also important to remember his violent rhetoric against protesters at his rallies. You can find a rundown of some of the chilling remarks he made during his campaign here.

by Jillian Lucas on Deals, shared by Jillian Lucas to Jezebel
ThePrettiestOne

Is "basics" the new slang for heroin?

H&M’s basics section is like a sea of plain, easy-to-wear t-shirts that you want to live in. Stock up on those tees, tanks, long-sleeve shirts, and more during this up to 40% off sale at H&M. Everything is marked down to $20 or under, but there are some full-priced things mixed in, so make sure you see the sale price.

lierdumoa:

where-zozi-dares:

teenboystuff:

So the subplot of Holes is that Kate Barlow deals with the politically-sanctioned execution of her black boyfriend—who unlawfully kissed a white woman who was in love with him!!!—by becoming a serial killer who targets racist/sexist white dudes who harassed her, were rejected, then went after her boyfriend as revenge from the depths of the “friend zone”.

Go off Louis Sachar, let em know!

Don’t forget the main plot was a damning satire of the brokenness and inherent racism of the American justice and prison systems! Louis Sachar does not fuck about

Kissin’ Kate Barlow did nothing wrong ever in her life.

person a: that's not fair!

ThePrettiestOne

OK, but there literally is no objective between the two cups, kid. You both like the red cup, and your brother got it this time. Stop lecturing me and drink your damn juice from the blue cup.

person a: that's not fair!
person b: LIFE isn't fair!
person a: life isn't a conscious being that makes deliberate choices within a personal moral framework and a socially constructed value system. you, on the other hand, as a human being acting consciously and non-randomly within both of those frameworks, should be able to come to a conclusion based on reasonable moral standards about what the most equitable and respectful course of action is in any given circumstance, and act accordingly. it is especially incumbent upon you to do so if you are in a position of authority or otherwise have greater ability to determine the outcome of a situation than those who will be most affected by it.
person b: what
person a: I said you're full of shit

New Study Finds That Transgender Identity Is Not A Mental Disorder

New Study Finds That Transgender Identity Is Not A Mental Disorder:

projectqueer:

The research, led by the National Institute of Psychiatry, interviewed 250 transgender people and found that it is not a mental disorder as once believed. Apparently, distress and impairment are the two essential characteristics of a mental disorder, and they found transgender people can experience some distress but not because they are transgender, but because of social rejection and violence.

When you "bow to pressure" to condemn Nazis, you don't get credit for condemning Nazis.

If you have to be pressured into speaking out against Nazis and White Supremacists, for whatever reason, you’re a garbage human.

yehudigorl:

the phrase “let nazis have peaceful protests” is an oxymoron. every single nazi belief is built on a foundation of genocide, violence, and hatred. that’s their entire fucking schtick so it’s literally impossible for nazis to be peaceful in any way
