how the woman who isn’t in the marriage
is called a homewrecker
after the affair
but the man who is married
somehow isn’t a homewrecker
even tho people who haven’t made a commitment to not fuck the same person for the rest of their lives can fuck whomever they want

Why Most Mass Murderers Are Privileged White Male →
paach:
“After Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people in Blacksburg, media attention focused on the likelihood that a Korean culture unwilling to acknowledge mental illness helped drive the young man to commit the worst mass murder in U.S. history. After Maj. Nidal Hasan carried out the Fort Hood shootings, his Muslim faith became all the public needed to know about his motive.
It seems likely that...

Back then, I realize that we were young and just trying to figure ourselves out. We were young and stupid, giftedness aside. I was a religious nut and a recluse. She was outgoing and reckless. We were both emotionally unstable and we both loved each other very much despite the shit we put each…
Black guy kills some people.
Society: Thug.
Muslim guy kills some people.
Society: Terrorist.
Latino guy kills some people.
Society: Criminal.
White guy kills some people.
Society: Mental illness. (lost soul, complicated psyche, quiet loner, misunderstood, frustrated with life, experienced recent, traumatic, life-altering events that set him off; not to mention all the positive descriptors that are attached to him, i.e. intelligent, PhD candidate, honor roll student, etc.)

*Man walks into a store and finds employee*
Man: Alright, I've had enough. Why haven't you guys hired me?!
Employee: Uh...well sir, when did you put in your application?
Man: I never filled out an application.
Employee: Well sir, we can't consider you for employment if you've never filled out an application.
Man: No, that's bullshit, because I've been coming here for years now, and every single time I tell you all how much I love this store and how much I appreciate your customer service, unlike some of your other customers might I add!
Employee: Well, but that doesn't-
Man: AND I even told you that I didn't have a job!
Employee: But sir, that doesn't indicate to us that you would like a job at our store. And again, if you've never filled out an application, we can't consider you. Besides, we're not hiring.
Man: OH! Not hiring, HA! What a laugh. I see your store go through seasonal workers all the time. They come and go like nothing, but you won't consider me as a part-time employee even though I KNOW you've been looking for workers to fill positions? That's insane!
Employee: Sir, we've been looking to hire a few people for management positions. Do you have any management experience?
Man: Well no, but what does that matter?
Employee: ...Well sir, that's what we're looking for. You won't be suitable for the position without management experience.
Man: Oh that's such a load of crap. You know, you'll be waiting around a long time for a manager if you don't lower your standards a little. Who cares if someone knows how to manage a store? I LOVE this store and I'm willing to work here, that's all that should matter to you.
Employee: That...doesn't make any sense.
Man: NO! I'm done. This is over. From now on, no more Mr. Nice Guy.
Employee:

Employee:
Man: Fuck you, slut.

We Happy Trans* →
artoftransliness:
From the website:
“We Happy Trans was created so that trans people could share stories of positive experiences, so the wider world could see that, like any other community, we too thrive, struggle, and overcome; to give further evidence that we too have writers magically shaping words to reflect and elevate shared human experience, and eloquent speakers calling to the better...

gaywrites:
In this age of constant LGBT-related boycotting, an Idaho bar has staked a protest of its own, though it’s certainly not getting lots of attention.
The Waha Bar & Grill of Lewiston, Idaho announced it would be boycotting Pepsi and MillerCoors products because the companies are involved with the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce. The bar’s owners have also posted a...

Never forget or deny that we have fostered a system that is responsible for creating more terrorists than any other group of people history, and it goes by the name of white supremacy. White supremacy itself is based on TERRORISM. If we deny these facts, believe that “Muslims are…
