fuckyeahfeminists:
Just got this in an email
In just a few hours, new policies will take effect at Google, endangering your privacy.
Tech publication Gizmodo reports, “things you could do in relative anonymity today [like your web searches], will be explicitly associated with your name, your face, your phone number come March 1st.” And this applies retro-actively if you don’t act today.

Oh, and if you’re pregnant and your fetus dies “of natural causes” in utero, you also have to undergo an ultrasound and listen to a verbal description. Classy! Reading comprehension fail, my bad.

What HB2675 will do: Mandate that university students without a national merit scholarship or an athletic scholarship to pay a $2,000 tuition payment out of pocket. This will exempt all scholarships, grants, and forms of financial aid.
Again, AZ seems to be a pro in setting bad examples for other states.

JB: I think you should mention how I dont like men being called feminists. me: Yeah? JB: How that’s just what guys should be. Calling a guy a feminist is wrong. me: I know guys who call themselves feminists.

One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech, but we do draw some limits. As a company, we’ve decided that some specific...

gabydunn:
Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and comedy.
Last night, I was...

There’s way too much money in American politics. It’s drowning out people’s voices, especially since the Supreme Court’s Citizens United decision gave corporations the green light to spend limitless sums of money to influence our elections. We are building a movement of engaged citizens and responsible business leaders working together to oppose this decision and Get the...

If you’re a “nice guy” to a girl up until you realize she doesn’t want to date you, then go on about how she’s a cold shrew that friendzoned you and how no girls date nice guys, like, nah mate, girls do date nice guys. You just aren’t a nice guy. You’re a passive aggressive beta with internalized misogyny and a serious victim complex.
AMEN!!
