Humorously done but it brings up a very good point about the song. (And I like how the guys immediately reacted, “Wow, dude, that’s not okay.”)

Seriously, even as like a ten year old I knew that line was just wrong.

I like how they beat the shit out of the rapist at the end. We need more humor on the side against rape like this video.

Oho thanks~ Let me think…

1. I’m the biggest otaku I know in this area.

2. The other night at a bar I got so angry I literally walked out because a guy called the 64 Zelda games trash.

3. I love me some karaoke and go at least once a week.

4. I’ve been geeking out about Shadowrun a lot lately. It’s one of my favorite tabletop games and 5th Edition is coming out soon.

5. I’m about to finish off a pint of ice cream that I just started eating yesterday.

6. I like ~ and :3 more than I probably should.

7. I’ve been playing Virtue’s Last Reward all day.

8. I really want a career in theatre but I don’t think it’ll ever happen.

9. I can’t decide if I want to cut my hair short or just keep growing it out and see how long I can get it before it drives me insane.

10. I want to own a Mini Cooper some day and I want it to be midnight blue.

Looking at the Arkham City chucks. :

Made this Harley Quinn x Joker pair. May make a Riddler pair as well. Not sure if I want to pay the $75 bucks to buy them though. I do need some new Converse but I may just go with a solid color or see what the local Journey’s has in stock.

Been playing Virtue's Last Reward.

999 was a great game and this one is really expanding on the game elements as well as throwing out more twists and turns. I haven’t gotten any definite endings yet.

Just one “To Be Continued” the involved both Alice and Quark having Radical-6 but us only having enough medicine to cure one of them. Started up my next path to see what else I can find and figure out. Been getting all the gold files. Missed the elevator one the first time but grabbed it on this run. First go I went crew quarters, ally in AB game, then the B. Gardens. After that is when shit went down and I had to start again. Gonna be one hell of a ride.

"I'm giving him one last chance"

If you find yourself thinking this, the friendship/relationship/whatever is dead. What it really means is that they’ve got you thinking you have to let them hurt you just one last time so your escape will be a reaction instead of a decision. That’s no good. Don’t give Future You room to second-guess yourself later. Why? Because you will have second thoughts, and you do not want to find yourself blaming the heat of the moment, downplaying your feelings like they’re not valid because you were under pressure.

Run for the hills the very minute you catch yourself assigning a number value to the humiliations you intend to tolerate before it’s OK to escape.

You wouldn’t need to draw that line in the sand if you didn’t already know the other person is going to cross it.

I can’t second this loudly enough. THIS. Thisthisthis. IT IS OKAY to turn around and leave without a ‘good reason’, wanting to leave is enough, and if you’re to the point you’re thinking about last chances? It’s MORE than enough. Especially because way too often one last chance can turn into another, and another, and another, until you’re asking them to give *you* another chance for daring to breathe or exist in a way they don’t 100% approve of.

I don’t reblog a lot of serious shit, but. This is something I really wish I’d understood ten years ago. If you’re making deals with yourself over how much mistreatment, or what kind of mistreatment, you’re willing to forgive, it’s time to bail and reset that standard to “none.”

so much this. whenever you reach this decision line, it’s never a hard one. you’ll always find a reason to go, “oh, but right now I’m just upset,” or “maybe I should sleep on it.” the minute you catch yourself saying “if he does it again, I’m gone” or (possibly worse and what I’ve done) “well, I said [that behavior] wasn’t okay before, but at least it’s not [some other hypothetical which invariably will come to pass]” it’s time to run

“

I’m looking at you
bro
In the “Cool story babe, now make me a sandwich” t-shirt
The commonly uses
“I raped you faggot”
when playing
Video games
To dehumanize
Your straight friends
The white kid who greets his buddies with the n-word
Who’s OkCupid dating profile describes him as a “nice guy”
He’s just sick of getting friend-zoned
Because being just friends with a woman
Is so terrible
Nevermind the fact that he answers yes to the following:
Are women obligated to shave their legs?
Are racist jokes funny?
When a woman is raped, is it sometimes her fault?

I’m looking at you
guy in every women’s studies class ever
who derails dialogue
About a third of the world’s population of women
Who will be raped
In their life times
By asserting
“the wage gap isn’t real”
the guy who starts “PimpWalk” in response
to slutwalk
a demonstration aimed at ending victim blaming
of rape victims
the guy with the “no fat chicks” bumpersticker on his F150
whos confused why
he cant get pussy
to the guy who calls anal rape
“surprise buttsex”
to the one who uses “feminazi”
as a frequent part
of his vernacular
to every guy who has ever thought that a facebook status
about domestic violence
was a good opportunity to practice playing the
devils advocate

to every guy
boy
man
who has ever dismissed feminism
because it didn’t involve him
to every man who has ever raped a woman
to every man who has ever beaten one
isolated one
belittled one
dehumanized one
to every guy
who thinks he’s not like those ones
because
its just a joke
to every guy who is confused why feminists hate him

to every guy
its because
you’re part of a problem
a culture
that won’t stop choking us
but tells us
to just breath

- wrote some spoken word for my women’s studies final tomorrow. what do you guys think? (via fat-feminist)

Woah this got like 3 thousands notes thanks guys. Now I just have to perform it in an hour…

(via fat-feminist)

I would love to see (or hear) a recording of that performance.

It’s that time again: Time for a short rant.

I completely understand if someone watched Princess Tutu and didn’t like Rue. It’s not my place to tell someone whether or not they have to feel sympathy or like a character. I have a friend who didn’t care much for her character and that’s completely…
