Tumblr's stance on missing e is so stupid
I understand it must make it difficult to program when you have an alien code out there, but how about you actually fucking program some features that make fucking sense.
You want to get people to stop using missing e?
Program the basic features on your site!!!
Jesus. I love tumblr, but it is the stupidest shit sometimes. Putting out stuff that doesn’t make sense doesn’t make you...

Which, for anybody who has read the books, is quite possibly one of the most killer places for your friends to stop.

Are Rats More Empathetic than Republicans? →
So it’s basically insulting to our rodent brethren to call a Republican Senator a “rat”.
Further reading from the NY Times article:
The researchers placed a free-roaming rat in an arena with a caged rat. Over the course of several days, the free rats realized they could nudge open a door and release the caged rat.
After figuring this out, they did so repeatedly, day after...

But then I look around tumblr, at the things people post, and I stop to think. Because if I made a blogging platform, I would want racist/sexist posts to be deleted immediately. Problem is, racism is so acceptable in our society that racist thoughts are posted all of the time under “political opinions”. People think racism is saying, “I don’t like black people”, and...

On Misogyny/Homophobia in Rap and White Feminism
thesociologicalear:
Yesterday, I witnessed a discussion on my dashboard that centered, once again, around Tyler the Creator (of Odd Future) and indie rock artist Sara Quin (of Tegan and Sara.) This discussion was actually an extension of a conflict that had occurred between the two earlier in the year, when Quin wrote a post discussing Tyler’s copious use of the word “faggot” and misogynistic...

datrump asked: On the transethnicity I am wondering if they are just trying to say that to "relate" but to me, it looks like you are trying to hard and being pretty ignorant. Of course if you wish to "relate", do it in a different way, but I agree that that they would never truly relate because they will never go through what racist abuse others had gone through.
Anonymous asked: Take your post on transethnic people, and replace the words "white" with "man" and "black" with "woman" and you'd have an extremely cissexist post, right? Now, I don't disagree with you, but I'd like to know your opinion on how the two are different.

How somebody else identifies doesn’t affect you, so why should you try and affect them? Let them live their lives. They know themselves better than we do. But...

Science is objective, but humans are not. Biases present themselves in both the collection methods and interpretation of data.
