Not sure if I’ve reblogged this before but it’s worth it if I have because so many people get this wrong.

so gross

An excellent list with examples to better understand sexual objectification.

perfect. Use this the next time you think tom hiddlestone is being objectified.

Lunsford, in case you check my blog again, here is more info for you to read up on.

Imagine a movie like The Avengers

But instead of Marvel heroes joining forces

It was Disney Princesses

“I have an army,” Maleficent taunted.

“Yeah?” said Rapunzel, “We have Kuzco.”

YOU THREW OFF MY GROOVE

“That’s my secret Mulan… I’m always off groove”

“Kuzco… Smash”

“

A student blows up at a teacher, drops the F-bomb. The usual approach at Lincoln – and, safe to say, at most high schools in this country – is automatic suspension. Instead, Sporleder sits the kid down and says quietly: “Wow. Are you OK? This doesn’t sound like you. What’s going on?”

He gets even more specific: “You really looked stressed. On a scale of 1-10, where are you with your anger?” The kid was ready. Ready, man! For an anger blast to his face….”How could you do that?” “What’s wrong with you?”…and for the big boot out of school. But he was NOT ready for kindness.

The armor-plated defenses melt like ice under a blowtorch and the words pour out: “My dad’s an alcoholic. He’s promised me things my whole life and never keeps those promises.” The waterfall of words that go deep into his home life, which is no piece of breeze, end with this sentence: “I shouldn’t have blown up at the teacher.” Whoa.

”

- Lincoln High School in Walla Walla, WA, tries new approach to school discipline — suspensions drop 85% (via mchotdog)

what a radical idea yo

(via matthewdgold)

Bam. Kids “misbehave” for actual, real, valid reasons. And have feelings.

(via amydentata)

For fuck’s sake, it takes the people in charge so long to figure shit like this out! Good for Lincoln High!

This needs to be the policy EVERYWHERE…

So this is my brother’s friend’s Kickstarter. Some of you might be interested in this web series because:

holy shit he got Ellen Mclain how did he do that

that’s GLaDOS from Portal if you don’t already know (AND YOU SHOULD)

it looks adorable and funny!

web shows are the ~future~ so be active in making cool online content more prevalent and awesome by contributing!

The show picks up when Hannah, a non-magical human, wishes herself into the position of granting wishes made on coins tossed in wishing wells and fountains. These very coins are Wish It’s only source of income and Congress has just killed the penny, putting the company in a financial crunch. While Hannah begins to learn the endless rules of wish-granting, Wish It struggles to stay afloat and fight off a rival company; the Oshi O-Mikuji Fortune Cookie Company.

As of 9:55am on May 23, this Kickstarter is less than $3,000 from their goal. Please donate and help them out. This would be an amazing webseries and I think my heart might actually break if they don’t get their funding.

Steve Rogers is not afraid of strong women.

Steve Rogers is not afraid of strong women.

Stop it with the fic where Steve is terrified of Natasha, or Maria, or Pepper, or guh, Darcy. I guess people think it’s cute, or whatever.

Seriously. Strong women don’t make Steve scared, they make him swoon.

The only thing Steve is afraid of is that strong women won’t like him.

Acting like Steve is afraid of women also ignores one of my favorite moments of the movies, where Steve isn’t sure if Clint can be trusted, but he looks to Natasha and it just takes one nod from her for Steve to be okay with it. He respects people who know what they’re doing, male or female.

nitanahkohe:

around this time last year people finally started taking notice of the food-related issues in the upper northern reaches of Canada; consider this your reminder that even since then, juice is still $26 in Pangnirtung, Nunavut, and that the predominately indigenous communities in Canada’s North are forced to pay extraordinarily exorbitant prices for basic groceries due to structural inequity and the contemporary effects of ongoing settler occupation.

Holy smokes. I just went grocery-shopping last night and bought a jug of juice for about seven bucks. :\ That is ridiculous.
