Opting Out of PayPal Agreement to Arbitrate... →
We already told you that perennial Worst Company In America heavyweight PayPal added a clause to its user agreement that forces customers with legal complaints into mandatory binding arbitration and takes away their right to band together in a class action. You can opt out of the clause by sending a very specifically formatted letter; luckily there’s now a template.

My problem with social justice people is that they are Utopians. They don’t aim for a better situation in the confines of an imperfect world they aim for a Utopia and expect it to happen. Then they become bitter and angry that Utopia isn’t here. Sorry people but nothing will…

COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Despite detectives’ pleas to national media, the disappearance of an 18-month-old black boy with the wide smile has yet to grab the widespread attention given to other missing children’s cases. Some advocates say the reason why may be as simple as the toddler’s gender — and his race.
From the still-unsolved slaying of 6-year-old JonBenet Ramsey...

In today's weather related indigenous etymology
selchieproductions:
the word ‘hurricane’ was borrowed into English from the Spanish huracán, which in turn comes from the Taíno word Juracán.
Anyway, Juracán was a weather god who lived upon the Puerto Rican mountain El Yunque, and who used to send storms and strong winds to punish people when they misbehaved or upset him. Shakespeare was one of the first to use the word in English, if you’ve...
That’s Not How “Not Racist” Works
racismschool:
Being “Not racist” is not an absolute. It is a conscious and daily decision. In order to be “Not racist” a person has to first accept that the world itself and most of their opinions that deal in race are in fact, racist. Being “Not racist” is something that has to be part of every single day. There is no “Graduation date” for anti-racism. There will never be a day when a person can...

Also can I just say, Wentai’s role is SO profound in how he shows his support: HE INVISIBLIZES HIMSELF so she can learn to take the lead by herself and TRULY empower herself as a leader. And as he invisiblizes himself, dies in her life, becomes a NOBODY in the army, just for her to grow strong, he STILL supports her and is proud for her and takes joy in how she doesn’t need him, and...

Because, to me, it seems like SJW means anybody who speaks out against the big and little ways people reinforce racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, and/or classism.
Which makes me a little uncomfortable because it seems that what is really being referred to are women, people of color, LGBTQ people, disabled people, and/or poor/working class people who talk openly...
