NEVER FORGET THAT IF PRESIDENT OBAMA HADN’T PUT JUSTICES ELENA KAGAN  AND SONIA SOTOMAYOR ON THE BENCH, WE WOULD NOT BE CELEBRATING TODAY. THE SPLIT OF THE VOTE WAS 5/4.

SONIA SOTOMAYOR REPRESENTING AS A PUERTO RICAN PRO-EQUAL RIGHTS WOMAN YES YES YES :’’’’) so proud

REMINDER IF YOU WANT IT TO STAY YOU N E E D TO VOTE DEMOCRATIC BECAUSE THE NEXT PRESIDENT WILL BE REPLACING SEVERAL RETIRING JUSTICES

ALSO IN 15 DAYS TIME, ALL PUERTORRICANS WILL BE ABLE TO GET MARRIED REGARDLESS OF GENDER THANKS TO THE RULING

Kills 9 people in a brutal assault. Is armed when found after a manhunt. Still isn’t placed in handcuffs. This is the definition of White privilege.

Map of the World by Natural Skin Color

i’m really dumbfounded that i never realized skin colour is literally just caused by being closer to or farther from the equator and the resulting sun exposure and skin darkening

actually, its an adaptation. natural selection. people with darker skin are selected for in areas near the equator, where the melanin that causes the darker color protects them from radiation and protects them from skin cancer and other health defects, and because they are healthier they can pass on that trait more. people near the poles have lighter skin because it allows them absorb more of the limited sunlight to convert to vitamin d. 

THIS IS THE THING SOME PEOPLE HATE OTHER PEOPLE OVER. Evolution of melanin levels based on geographical location.

Obama on gay adoption 

yeah totally ruining this country what a horrible guy

Fun fact: Obama has attempted to fix almost everything that he promised to fix, but the republicans have voted almost all of his bills out of congress. He’s not the problem.

and it’s always framed like this. their innocence is always remembered while ours is always forgotten and banned from ever being true enough to be mentioned.

Kurt Cobain was so important

So amazing

Here’s the video

never took his eyes off the guy (and it was a guy groping a girl)…

he was PISSED.

Kurt Cobain the beautiful male feminist

no but seriously real talk for a second kurt was an amazing and beautiful person and did stuff like this all the time!

"At this point I have a request for our fans. If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us - leave us the fuck alone! Don’t come to our shows and don’t buy our records. Last year, a girl was raped by two wastes of sperm and eggs while they sang the lyrics to our song Polly I have a hard time carrying on knowing there are plankton like that in our audience.” - Kurt Cobain

Kurt cared about a lot of things despite his attitude may have projected and I think that this is what should come to mind when we think about him. Not his drug use, not how depressed he was or how he killed himself, but the fact that performing at a No On 9 benefit, (supporting defeating of Measure 9 an anti-homosexuality measure) he was approached by a kid that suggested he and Guns and Roses patch thing up. He responded with, “No, kid, you’re really wrong. Those people are total sexist jerks, and the reason we’re playing this show is to fight homophobia in a real small way. The guy is a fucking sexist and a racist and a homophobe, and you can’t be on his side and be on our side. I’m sorry that I have to divide this up like this, but it’s something you can’t ignore.”

Why don’t we talk about this enough humm?

please don’t ever forget kurt cobain, ever

one of my favorite ron swanson lines

I love Ron Swanson so much for this. Because he’s this very stereotypical burly “manly man” who believes that men should be inherently tough and no nonsense, yet he’s never ever felt threatened by strong women and continues to support all the women in his life and I think every guy should be at least 90% Ron Swanson because he’s the fucking best.

Dove’s ‘Love Your Curls’ Campaign Celebrates Girls’ Curly Hair

Curly hair is gorgeous — and a new Dove campaign wants to remind those who have doubts.

In a video for the “Love Your Curls” campaign, Dove interviewed young girls to see how they felt about their curly hair — and organized a surprise to help change their minds. Watch the full video and be inspired to love yourself. 

"Previously, researchers had misidentified skeletons as male simply because they were buried with their swords and shields. By studying osteological signs of gender within the bones themselves, researchers discovered that approximately half of the remains were actually female warriors, given a proper burial with their weapons."

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

BRUH

he had so many 1 liners last night

Excerpt from If I Admit That Hating Men is a Thing, Will You Stop Turning it Into a Self-fulfilling Prophecy?, by Lindy West (via angerr)

The fact that most guys’ first response to a woman wanting equality is “SO CAN I HIT U NOW” is sort of terrifying Like that’s the first thing you’re concerned about? I just want equal pay and you want to punch me in the face? Cool cool

No one get’s lynched for exfoliating is the greatest come back I’ve ever witnessed.

DEBI JACKSON, MOTHER OF TRANSGENDER CHILD, GIVES MOVING SPEECH

The best part of the video may be when Jackson addresses the comments she’s heard about her daughter and sets the record straight about statements like you “wanted a girl so you turned your child into one” and “kids have no idea what they want or who they are — my kids wants to be a dog, should I let him?”

So watch the full video to see her answers to those difficult questions here.

Chills down my whole body. This is how parents should react.

If Leelah Alcorn’s mother made you lose faith, then watch this video. I literally cried tears of happiness for the daughter of this wonderful woman.

"there is a difference between pretending to be something in imaginary play, and declaring who you are - insistently, consistently, and persistently." 

The thing that’s so disgusting about the murders of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown, Sean Bell etc (a very long list) is that it’s not like we’re trying to figure out who killed them. We know perfectly well. We’re just trying to figure out if that black kid deserved to die. Their humanity is put on trial, like being a person wasn’t enough. Black people literally have to prove that we’re worthy of living.
