We are a group of established feminist activists, educators, writers, bloggers and lecturers. We are speaking out as the result of the behaviour and posts coming from some of the online feminist community, which we view as unhealthy for the movement. After some thoughtful consideration, we can…

Watch The Throne
THIS. ALBUM. I like can’t even explain it. On an intellectual level I can’t really justify liking it and have some serious problems with it even as I try to understand what it’s trying to do, but on an emotional level I’m like fuck it whateva immense feelings and shit. Which is sort of how I feel about Ashlee’s Autobiography which may be like the most unexpected...

There is nothing more satisfying than realizing you have about 7 different back-issues of various X-Men comics you need to read to catch up.
I have been surprisingly enjoying the post-Schism split of the teams and Uncanny x-Force has always been good.
Person: Can I have birth control?
Government: No.
Person: I got pregnant because I didn't have birth control and I don't want the fetus. Can I have an abortion?
Government: No.
Person: I gave birth to my child but since I wasn't expecting it, I can't afford daycare. Can I have help paying for it?
Government: No.
I bet Rick Astley struggles with Lent.

One of the great things about Tumblr is that people use it for just about every conceivable kind of expression. People being people, though, that means that Tumblr sometimes gets used for things that are just wrong. We are deeply committed to supporting and defending our users’ freedom of speech,…

It’s rare that I find myself in even slight disagreement with TNC but this just repeats a trend in these types of arguments that I find really weird in that we can all understand why a survivor might...

I view it as a testament to my good tumblr senses that I have not had anything heinous about Rihanna pop across my dash today.

Saving the world with love and kindness is fine and good. Really. I like the idea of non-violence in children’s shows. HOWEVER, if you are writing a story, animating a story, or viewing a story about female “superheroes”, which, essentially is what the Sailor Scouts are, they should be portraying…
So basically, you’re saying if it’s not masculine,...

So it seems DC’s strategy with Blue Beetle is to take a book that was unique, interesting and offered a non-cliche approach to the superhero story and make it as thoroughly generic as possible while also shitting on the chest of the previous incarnation of the book and its characters. Ugh.

Get on facebook: Everyone is praising that father who shot his daughter’s laptop.
I’m probably going to get shit from people but I posted: This video about the father shooting the daughter’s laptop makes me incredibly uncomfortable, but not nearly as uncomfortable as the number of people missing the fact that it’s abusive. “Hey I have a gun and will use it to...
