At the beginning of the current WoW expansion, monkeys were added to the classes of animals the Hunter class could tame and use for combat pets. I am not exaggerating when I say that I was putting in report tickets near daily, I saw so many Hunters running around with monkeys named after either famous black people or what they believed to be “black names” (“Laquisha”,...

I know I'm gonna regret this
One of my Facebook acquaintances posted a link to a video about the whole “men and women can’t be friends EVAR!!!”
I have now gotten into the debate… I am absolutely certain I’m going to regret it. Why did I do this again?
Ugh… sometimes I hate people.

Hello, fellow white people!
stfuconfederates:
This is going to be raw and merciless. I am, in all seriousness, warning you. If you identify as transable or transethnic, unfollow, stop reading, walk away. You’ll notice that I prefaced this as pertaining to white people.
So, you believe you’re transethnic? Cool. Here’s what’s wrong with that.
Essentially, you’re a white person who wants to say the N-word. You’re a white...

When people call kids who have Autism “Autistic,” it really bothers me. That’s not the proper way to address them. Say they have Autism. It’s more respectful.
Did you know that some kids who have Autism know they have that disability? Not many people do.
So, next time you hear someone call another person “Autistic,” correct them. Do that favor for me.

As women, we are often told to “have some class.” This word has always irked me because it basically means, “Wow, look at how good she is at being a lady the right way, the socially acceptable way,” which is a weird fucking thing to say.
Classy means having or behaving like a higher-class member of society, amirite? Who inhabits this higher class,...

Most of us can remember being pressured to just “suffer through it” from our own childhoods. Who doesn’t recall being forced to kiss “Great Aunt Edna” as a kid, or getting scratched by Uncle Bob’s beard as he leaned in for a squeeze? Or, being told to just ignore the teasing and roughhousing of our cousins?

Just like in Morrowind and Oblivion, then :-p
Well Oblivion had two colors of dungeons, white and brown.
But yeah I’m really amused when the designers talk about how they are putting lots of effort into making the dungeons unique and… they all end up brown linear paths and it’s just the embellishments that change.

Which is not to downplay the marginalization of atheists, which is very real, but it does create a problem, especially for women. The outright hostility and blatant misogyny I see among (predominantly white, male) atheists is disheartening, and the internalized misogyny among so many atheist women who are trying to fit in and be taken seriously is just...

Of seeing people with disabilities being paraded around the internet (don’t get me started on irl) like they are some sort of circus attraction, or to show just how ~compassionate~ the OP is. Like “This is ______. He has autism but we love him anyway. If you don’t repost you are heartless.”

When someone like Animals Talking in All Caps says something Terrible and then people say, “Well you know, maybe he’s autistic.”

goldenheartedrose:
A sad look at reality. When you say that we’re making up or exaggerating oppression and abuse, this is why we aren’t. This stuff really happens.
Lets not forget that the first instance listed, the woman was an autism educator. These weren’t all people who were clueless about autism. A few of these deaths were at the hands of the very knowledgeable.

ok, so the thing i want to make visible. remember how angry the *F*eminists were about anybody who defended julian asange? to the point there was a big fight on democracy now! between naomi wolf and jaclyn friedman over how stupid naomi was to be defending a rapist?

Once there has been socialising I need days to find myself again. And today we’ll have family arriving for more Yule-ish socialising. Only two days after the last stint. And I’m not ready.
