exceptfor-bunnies asked: I have a biology teacher who I often debate with during class. He is very strongly conservative and often the stuff he says is so out there I don't know how to respond. I was wondering if you could help give me some talking points to rebutt his theories. He says things like we should have no planned parenthood that is government funded because it's not the government's place and...

There’s a pretty big difference; it matters a lot!
An embryo, blastocyst, zygote or fetus
Don’t give politicians the right to mistreat us
They can’t hear, they can’t feel, they can’t think, they can’t see
But they’re somehow, some way, more important than me!

– Eric Cantor explaining why Republicans won’t help natural disaster/Joplin victims without more budget cuts.
Also strangely, he’s describing a situation that argues for Health Care Reform since people don’t have unlimited funds they deserve to die when they run out.

This is good news. Sounds like the girl just posted a “Weiner is my boyfriend” tweet (as many tumblrs have done in the past) and then when Weiner’s account was hacked a dong was sent to a random @repweiner tweet. Then she shut her shit down because she was getting harassed (as many tumblrs here have done in the past) and that was mistaken as some sort of coverup or an effort to...

scrumtralescence asked: Hey there- I'm a big fan of your Tumblr (one of the few blogs I check every day). In regards to the Urban Outfitters/Etsy artist controversy, I thought you might want to check out this post on Regretsy: http://www.regretsy.com/2011/05/27/urban-outrage/
While there's no question Urban Outfitters have ripped off ideas before, it seems like this case may not be as clear-cut.

“Pro-life,” my ass.
Don’t they get it? If they were pro-life, they would be for the lives of the already living. Instead, they’re just anti-abortion and anti-child. Why can’t they see that in themselves?
Disgusting. Fuck off, Scott.
Oh yeah. Once you’re out of the womb and safe from an abortion, you are on your fucking own, babies!

Racism Primer

Racism: A Primer~*
Racism is sociologically defined (and therefore not going to be used in the DICTIONARY) as policies and practices put into place to enforce hierarchies. These hierarchies are also known as ways to keep white people in power.
In short, racism = prejudice + power. Power being the way that white people exert their power just by having white skin. Although...

I was thinking more of the fact that a donkey is also known as a wild ass. Donkey = Democrat. All that stuff.

Dear mainstream media: stop abbreviating Dominique...
I noticed this in a Time article I was reading about the incident, and I had the exact same thought. I get that he has a long name, but why are abbreviating it to cutesy initials? He’s an alleged criminal charged with brutally sexually assaulting a hotel maid, not a Flavor of Love contestant.

loveyh asked: I'm the original Disney poster. One of the notes on that post mentioned that the billboards stating that "someone is missing from your family" are really insensitive to people that have miscarried. They're right. My first pregnancy was a miscarriage, and if things had been different, I'd have been hauling 3 kids from Maryland to Florida, not two.

For the Urban Outfitters...
(this) You can leave a review of products on their site. I’m going to write one right now with a link to the original Etsy store. If you have time, I recommend you do the same. It is NOT OK for them to do this. Also, the OP’s work is incredibly adorable, and I’m checking my bank account right now to see if I have enough money to buy one of my home state (Illinois).
noodroid asked: i'm just adding onto lovelyh's post about all those billboards. i went with a friend to visit her cousin in florida and we made a slight detour to some town where they had this restaurant that we wanted to eat at. on the way there, we saw a billboard with that picture from House, where the baby is holding the doctor's hand, and we were laughing so hard. the lengths they'll go...
