“I guess some of this mad right-wing love comes from the idea that in America, anyone can become a Rich Guy if he just works hard and saves his pennies. Mitt Romney has said, in effect, “I’m rich and I don’t apologize for it.” Nobody wants you to, Mitt. What some of us want—those who aren’t blinded by a lot of bullshit persiflage thrown up to mask the idea that rich folks want to keep their damn money—is for you to acknowledge that you couldn’t have made it in America without America. That you were fortunate enough to be born in a country where upward mobility is possible (a subject upon which Barack Obama can speak with the authority of experience), but where the channels making such upward mobility possible are being increasingly clogged. That it’s not fair to ask the middle class to assume a disproportionate amount of the tax burden. Not fair? It’s un-f—king-American, is what it is. I don’t want you to apologize for being rich; I want you to acknowledge that in America, we all should have to pay our fair share. That our civics classes never taught us that being American means that—sorry, kiddies—you’re on your own. That those who have received much must be obligated to pay—not to give, not to “cut a check and shut up,” in Gov. Christie’s words, but to pay—in the same proportion. That’s called stepping up and not whining about it. That’s called patriotism, a word the Tea Partiers love to throw around as long as it doesn’t cost their beloved rich folks any money.”

“I’ve never understood that kind of immense “YOU CAN’T TALK TO YOUR EXES GAHHH” jealousy. If he wants to go fuck another woman he’ll go fuck another woman and there’s not shit I can do about it. Whether it’s his ex or a stranger or a hooker, I’ll find out and good riddance. No sense in getting all boiling rabbit on the stove psycho on his ass.”

It’s not cute when you post pictures of yourself in a bra and panties. Have some self respect.
It’s not attractive when you broadcast how many sexual partners you have or how often you have sex. Promiscuity comes at a steep price.
It’s not…
Well fuck. I curse like a sailor, smoke like a chimney, drink like a fish (if fish drank gin), and I’M GONNA BE HONEST HERE I spend a lot of time not wearing pants. And bras, because fuck bras. HOW WILL I EVER FIND A HUSBAND?????????????????

Complications You can have With your abortion.
Bladder Injury
If your uterus is perforated, your urinary bladder can be perforated, too. This can also cause peritonitis (an inflamed, infected lining of the abdomen) with all of its pain, dangers and necessary reparative surgery.Bowel Injury
If your uterus is perforated, your intestines can be perforated, too. This will cause nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever, blood in stool, peritonitis (an inflamed, infected lining of the abdomen) and death if not treated quickly enough. A portion of the intestine may have to be taken out, and a temporary or permanent colostomy may be put in your abdomen.Breast Cancer
Women who have aborted have significantly higher rates of breast cancer later in life. Breast cancer has risen by 50% in America since abortion became legal in 1973.
Ectopic (Tubal) Pregnancy
An ectopic pregnancy is any pregnancy that occurs outside the uterus. After an abortion, you are 8 to 20 times more likely to have an ectopic pregnancy. If not discovered soon enough, an ectopic pregnancy ruptures, and you can bleed to death if you do not have emergency surgery. Statistics show a 30% increased risk of ectopic pregnancy after one abortion and a 160% increased risk of ectopic pregnancy after two or more abortions. There has been a threefold increase in ectopic pregnancies in the U.S. since abortion was legalized. In 1970, the incidence was 4.8 per 1,000 live births. By 1980 it was 14.5 per 1,000 births.
While all of this is absolute bullshit, the thing that gets me MOST is post abortion syndrome. THAT IS FAKE. THAT IS MADE UP. THAT IS NOT A THING. Any organization or political movement that actually LIES to women about their fucking health does NOT have their best interests at heart. Also, if you’re so fucking pro-life, how about you actually work to support the living? You know, the multitudes of children living in poverty here in the United States? But no, you care far more about what’s going on inside my uterus than what’s happening to actual living, breathing, loving and loved human beings. Anti-choicers: more concerned with controlling women’s bodies than protecting or saving anyone.
The best part about this? You can act all sanctimonious and paternalistic to your heart’s content, but guess what? Abortion is legal, and if I get pregnant, I’m getting one. And I’m not too worried about PAS.
“The reality is that fat people are often supported in hating their bodies, in starving themselves, in engaging in unsafe exercise, and in seeking out weight loss by any means necessary. A thin person who does these things is considered mentally ill. A fat person who does these things is redeemed by them. This is why our culture has no concept of a fat person who also has an eating disorder. If you’re fat, it’s not an eating disorder — it’s a lifestyle change.”

I will always reblog this because it is so so important.

I just want to nail this to every stable surface I can find. I cannot count the amount of times that I’ve seen fat folks being encouraged, cajoled, and even forced into behaviors that would be recognized as disordered eating/exercising patterns in thin folks.
Pretty much everything that’s done on shows like The Biggest Loser would be called out as pro-ana/pro-orthorexia in a thin person. Exercising past the point that it hurts, to the point where you’re throwing up, even injuring yourself? Berating yourself because you didn’t lose ENOUGH weight this week? Constantly talking about how fat is weakness and thinness will make everything better, about how you can’t stand to be your current weight anymore? Emphasis on weight as a sign of how much control, strength, and worth you have? Viewing food as bad, as a temptation to sin? Constant sharing and talking about tips on how to minimize food intake, how to lose weight?
That sounds exactly like every pro-ana/pro-mia blog I’ve ever seen. It’s also what fat people are told we need to be doing to ourselves until we’re thin.

NOW BACK TO TUMBLR
Pet peeve:
Women who do nail polish swatches and make a BIG POINT out of including their engagement rings in the photos. WE GET IT, SOMEONE LOVES YOU AND BOUGHT YOU SOME CARBON. THAT IS NOT WHAT I AM LOOKING FOR HERE. Let’s relegate that shit to Facebook where all your friends can go “OOH THAT’S SO PRETTY HOW DID HE PROPOSE” and everyone else who doesn’t feel obligated to be nice to you can roll their eyes and go do more important things, like murder their Sims families.
What’d everyone getting their madres for mother’s day? I feel like I always give her jewelry which, while a pretty safe bet, is getting a little old at this point. Soooo… thoughts?
