I’m not seeing the problem of Japanese people wearing cheongsams, unless somehow that character is supposed to rep all of East Asia? In which case that is problematic (but isn’t the game still in design stage? Have they noted this issue already?).
Remember that light-skinned East Asians are VERY prone to whiteness and being extremely anti-black...

Moving to California!
That’s me, yes I am! I was hoping to not have to move, but McMaster U is taking too long and I’ve been waitlisted for them. I received three offers (would you believe, Santa Cruz’s History of Consciousness accepted me?? Little old me!! The department with Angela Davis and Donna Haraway?? I am quite bitter that the UC system is so broke that they cannot give me money, and had half...

Hello everyone.
My name is Jasmine.
This is my sister Anais “Ana” Plant.
She was a mother, sister, daughter, cousin, sister “n” law, friend, a wonderful person. Her life was taken away from her November 7, 2010. A day I WILL HATE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. The man who claimed he loved her, took her life. He beat her unconscious, he thought he killed her. So he dragged her body...

OH MY GOD
i went into the bank and asked what day it was and the teller said “march 26th” so i asked “and the year?” and she kinda looked at me for a second before saying “2012”. i threw my hands up in the air and yelled “IT WORKED” before turning to leave.
THEN AS I WAS JOGGING OUT OF THE BANK SOME OTHER DUDE CAME UP TO ME LIKE “HOLY CRAP, YOUR MACHINE WORKED TOO?” AND WE HIGH...

Here’s something that I’ve known for a while, but have been loathe to really accept (and btw, please hear me out before you decide I’m wrong and bad):
The fundiegelicals kinda have a point when they say that us queer folks are “destroying” marriage, gender, and the traditional family. Yes, it’s true that gay marriage won’t cause straight divorce,...

The university has hired a bunch of private security goons to go around demanding ID and generally harassing students/making our lives more difficult “because of recent strike activities”.
Some things to keep in mind when faced with this obvious scare tactic designed to shift the responsibility for the university’s repressive stance onto the shoulders of protesters...

You see the sudden influx of immigration as a problem

You’re not quite sure how to handle these new cultures and religions and languages. You want sympathy.
Because You’re uncomfortable with immigrants.

If I were going to describe the perfect contraceptive, it would go something like this: no babies, no latex, no daily pill to remember, no hormones to interfere with mood or sex drive, no negative health effects whatsoever, and 100 percent effectiveness. The funny thing is, something like that currently exists.

I woke up this morning and saw some stuff on my dash about Rick Santorum saying the n-word on camera. Went to Google News to see if I could find out what it was about. Nothing there. Figured, “Oh, well, I guess it just happened and no one’s covered it yet.”
Scrolled through dash some more, found out that it happened on Tuesday. Today’s Friday.
Oh.

it's the "what is bad PR" thing

I mean, it’s the racism thing. but also: periodically a white person says or does something that I’m like, how do you NOT REALIZE how racist that sounds — not is, whatever, forget for moment convincing them it is — but just, do they not get how bad they’re making themselves look??? and then I remember, oh… no, they’re not. not to the people they think matter.

But we don't know 100%

You know what really REALLy ticks me off about the white apologists of Trayvon’s case?
The fact that we don’t know 100% doesn’t mean shit.
Even if it all goes down the way folks protesting are asking….
Zimmerman’s fate would be decided by a jury of HIS peers after a lengthy trial and fully investigated evidentiary hearing.
Let that sit.

The self-described feminist poet Adrienne Rich died yesterday. If you are a regular follower of feminist blogs, you’ve no doubt seen countless heartfelt sendoffs to the woman, to whom the word influential applies if nothing else.
But for all the good things people could say (and I won’t) about her, it would be wrong to whitewash her participation in the...
