mirkwood:

Now imagine you’re an “objective” racist white scientist who decides to give a group of black men a STI and, instead of treating them for it, watch them slowly suffer from it so you can study it FOR SCIENCE.

Now imagine you’re the white supremacist sexist medical establishment that denies women the right to get their tubes tied unless they already have loads of kids and require them to get their husband’s permission while at the same time forcibly sterilising legions of native and black women.

Now imagine you’re an “objective” racist psychologist who decides that slaves wanting to escape is a psychological disorder called “drapetomania” and the “cure” for that is lashings and cutting off toes.

Now imagine that you’re the “objective” and “scientific” medical establishment that deems queerness a disorder and decides that electroshock treatments or lobotomies are the effective solution or feels the need to “intervene” by surgically altering the bodies of intersex infants to fit your perceptions of what genitalia should look like.

Religion has done a lot of fucked up shit. But I’m sick and tired of people acting like SCIENCE hasn’t been involved in wars, death, and genocide either. And it’s the assumptive bullshit notion that ALL religions are somehow stupid and not worth your consideration that perpetuates this colonialist bullshit approach that white people have now upon Native and other individuals when tribes fight for the right to their sacred lands of, “Oh you’re religion is just hooey!”

First they “civilised” us with religion and now it’s science and repatriation. Stealing native lands and native artefacts and native bodies FOR SCIENCE so you can profit off of them.

If you’re going to lay in on the death religion causes, IMO you better realise that there’s a difference between the bastion of white supremacist cisheteropatriarchy that is modern Christianity and other religions which have little in the way of social power in comparison. AND you better recognise that science can be just another extention of white supremacist cisheteropartiarchy too and FURTHER the goals of that power structure rather than being as “objective” as they claim and countering it.

Haha. Imagine that.

Also, Ricky Gervais is a jerk.

"Why is my boyfriend addicted to Internet sex chats..."

"Why is my boyfriend addicted to Internet sex chats...":

“What I’d strongly suggest, though, is that you set out on your own and steel yourself for at least a year of thrillingly independent, celebratory singledom. I’m sure that someone with your history is afraid of such a thing, which is exactly why it’s going to feel so surprisingly great to be alone for a while. You will get a therapist, and see that person every week. You will discuss your pattern of chasing men who are self-serving, ego-driven narcissists incapable of real love, either openly or beneath the surface. You will discuss your anxiety issues, and consider meditation and cognitive therapy. You will find a sunny apartment that your cat will love. You will paint the walls bold colors, and get some new music and some new books and a whimsical light fixture that your ex would’ve hated. You will rededicate yourself to your female friendships. You will meet a few new friends and take some classes and learn some new skills. You are going to be much, much happier.”

Just feeling completely in love with Polly Esther/Heather Havrilesky right now.

Today has been a crap day with tons of people I like (mostly writers and actors) supporting both Amanda Palmer’s Kickstarter & TED talk.

thetart:

I don’t (can’t, won’t) understand people who would never have marched up to a friend in the cafeteria in the 7th grade and said “I know she said horrible things about you, but I still like her. Just calm down, it’s just so exhausting to hate everyone all the time” yet do exactly that as adults every time somebody in a pretty ball gown acts like a god damn turd toward someone else. Explain it to me. Even shitty junior high friends earned a minute of loyalty by sharing their Funyuns and getting your geography homework when you had the flu. What has Jennifer Lawrence done for you? Does she pay your electric bill? Do you think you get a piece of rich, thin, attractive, and famous by sticking with her? (Newsflash: She’s not sharing.) Or do you just want most people to ignore YOUR shithouse behavior like they’ve ignored hers?

White girls, this is why no one should trust us. This crap right here.

It’s weird because I’ve actually seen this behavior a lot? Both in adolescence and in adulthood? “Oh I know [X] was terrible to YOU, but s/he’s always been nice to me!” But it’s extra bizarre when applied to celebrities.

“I want to thank my wife — who I don’t normally associate with Iran, but. I want to thank you for working on our marriage. I don’t ten — it’s it’s it’s good. It is work, but it the best kind of work — and there’s no one I’d rather work with!”

- Ben Affleck.

Hahaha. Yikes?

(via bricksandmortarandchewinggum)

This was one of those things that I thought got blown totally out of proportion. Like he’s first thanking people he works with and then does this awkward segue by talking about “working” with his wife on their marriage. But the weirdest part was how everyone reacted like “Your marriage requires WORK?! Uh-oh, splitsville!”like all of a sudden, everyone’s spontaneously forgotten what being in a relationship is actually like.
