The Catholic Church is investigating the Girl Scouts? Are you fucking kidding me??

Fuck you fuck you fuck you

Why don’t you fucking investigate your priests, you pieces of shit

Oh except that will never, ever happen. Because the Catholic Church has always played politics before actually being a church. It has worshipped itself before whatever it calls God

Because the only reason they won’t toss out those priests is because doing so requires them to admit they’re wrong. And they can’t do that

The entire basis of the priesthood/papacy is that they are your direct line to God. You need them or you’re going to hell. The Pope himself is regarded as Christ on earth. If God is infallible and they admit they’re wrong, that shatters the entire facade .

And so they don’t because they can’t because they would rather puff themselves up and continue to take money and wield power and point fingers at others and bully little girls and destroy entire lives and childhoods than actually practice what they fucking preach

Fuck you fuck you fuck you

Dear Feminists who aren’t vegan

you’re fucking up.

I’m probably going to get a lot of flack for posting this, but it’s very true. You’re missing something.

*This is not to say that non-vegan feminists are bad feminists or bad people. I wasn’t always vegan, I wasn’t always as informed as I am now, and I still have so much to learn. It’s a growing process.

^^agreed.

Not everyone lives in San Fran or wherever you live. In a lot of places, it is exceptionally hard and, yes, expensive to eat fully and healthfully. Especially places that are predominantly non-white. There have been posts on Tumblr demonstrating this. And then you’re forgetting Native Americans. Do you know how much a bottle of orange juice costs for them? Literally 8 dollars or more. Not everyone is privileged, white and rich. And telling a feminist they have to be like you, is anti-feminist.

You said this:

I’m really not sure where this whole “vegan is absurdly expensive” thing came from. And it really blows my mind. When I was out in San Francisco my boyfriend and I ate healthfully and fully off of his food stamps. One person getting food stamps to feed two people in a house. We never went hungry. Veggies are not expensive.

Look at these images, technologicalsmash, and tell me again how cheap food is.

Fuck you. Fuck you and all of your white bullshit.

Dear feminists who are vegan: you are fucking up you white supremacist eurocentric-ethics pieces of shit.

I’m really not sure where this whole “vegan is absurdly expensive” thing came from. And it really blows my mind. When I was out in San Francisco my boyfriend and I ate healthfully and fully off of his food stamps. One person getting food stamps to feed two people in a house. We never went hungry. Veggies are not expensive.

LOLZ, SF is like the easiest place ever for a white person to get food stamps and have access to good food. I know this because three of my friends (two of them white) got food stamps when they weren’t even in need, by lying. Which honestly I am fine with. I am cool with milking our government at every opportunity we can get.

It’s fucking SF. White privilege paradise, USA. Access to these oh-so-healthful veggies is not available to everyone. West Oakland for example is a huge fucking food desert. There are no grocery stores here. And the ones that are closest (Pak n’ Save) have wayyyy higher prices than, say, Rainbow Grocery in SF or the Berkeley Bowl - and really shitty produce options. Or should we abandon our burgers for tofu? Then we can inject even more estrogen into our systems and give ourselves even more cancer than we’re already susceptible to living in these neighborhoods! Doesn’t really seem to solve anyone’s problems here, does it?

newayz, stop trying to force your ethics onto people of different cultures. Their cultural diets exist for a reason. And how about all of my people who pick your healthful veggies? I call self-righteous, white supremacist bullshit. But hey, what do you expect? ~Vegan feminists~

I just wanted this on my blog.

OMFG STUPID DUMBASS WHITE “FEMINISTS”. BITCHES PLEASE!!! If you really really care about female rights why don’t you fight for the women that are picking your fucking vegetables and fruits???!!!! Why don’t you worry about the woman who are slaving away trying to make a meager living that do these jobs????!!!!! Why aren’t you fighting for them to have fair pay and decent working conditions? Why aren’t you working for these women to have the opportunity to be “vegan” if it’s that much “better”?

Nah, you won’t worry about those women because the women that grow and pick your food aren’t white. So to you they are below “da animalz”. Go fuck yourself you stupid racist bitch and everyone who agrees with this.

Now excuse me while I go make myself some chorizo tacos.

Precious and Few

note-a-bear:

rosa—sparks:

Dear Lesley Arfin,

You’re RIGHT! The movie Precious, which originally was a novel, does not represent YOU. It was a story, about an African-American young woman, trying to find her way in a world that was abusive, bleak, increasingly isolated and seemingly uncaring of her plight.

However, there were signs of light and hope for her. We leave feeling that maybe, just maybe, when a human being endures the monstrous ugliness Precious experienced, a person can come out the other side and triumph.

That singular story ultimately speaks to humanity’s spirit. I’d like to think that any of us can see/read that and find inspiration.

However, what is unique about the work of Precious is that it is not a typical story told, in Hollywood, or ANYWHERE. Young, disenfranchised black women are ignored and, too often, erased by society and in many cases, their stories are purposefully stepped over to tell stories about young white women and their plights to find a boyfriend, in a sea of mayonnaise men who look like Ryan Reynolds.

The reality is young Women of Color are a group so often ignored; in society, in cultural, legal and political representation, in educational institutions ; that it has become quietly acceptable. We accept that we are under, or worse, completely misrepresented to the universe. We are stepped over, on the daily. It is the construct and fabric of our country and it something that we, as a group, continue to battle.

Your beloved show? Portrays a group of white, privileged women who have never, EVER known or experienced what Precious did. Is that a stain on their character? No. Is that something that should cause them to hang their head in shame? No.

But your show is not unique. Your story, your spoiled, obnoxious, selfish characters? They’re not unique. They’re not special snowflakes that are experiencing something that no one has NEVER known or fully grasped. In fact, sadly, we all know women, sorry, girls like them. And the story you’re telling, we’ve all heard it before. If the only edge you’ve got is that your lead character is not perfectly thin and Hollywood beautiful, then why don’t you click over and watch Mike and Molly, Raising Hope, SNL, 30 Rock, and Parks and Recreation to watch bright, intelligent, aware women address womanity and humanity with humor and gravitas.

Furthermore, and please correct me if I’m wrong, but your IMDB listing for your glorious show details that EVERY SINGLE Person of Color is nameless and faceless. They are maids, people on the street and homeless. In NEW YORK CITY, in 2012, that is patently wrong, offensive and unfuckingacceptable. The thing about Precious, as a story, is her world was small, but when she expanded her experiences, she encountered SO MUCH, including different people. Imagine that! And that was in the SAME New York you, supposedly, portray.

Do you have eyeballs in your eyeholes? Do you have ANY awareness, whatsoever?

Wait, don’t answer that.

It must be nice to be so self-assured in your assholiness. It must be so comforting to take solace in your sheltered fuckery. It must be SO awesome to be ignorant of the world. I wish I had that luxury. I wish I had the privilege to ignore and discredit other experiences, even ones that I don’t know myself. But I possess some things that clearly evades your grasp. These things include sympathy and empathy, critical thinking, and a curious mind that wishes to step outside of my world. I don’t accept what was handed to me because, welp, I want more. And not just for myself, but for humanity.

It realize it must be hard when you don’t HAVE to do that. And as a Woman of Color, I won’t settle for the shitty hand society deals me. But you shouldn’t either. You shouldn’t mock what others actually live from the comforts of your guilded loft in Lower Manhattan.

You’re right. You were not represented in Precious because Precious was about one woman’s growth and success, despite adversity. It wasn’t a story about a spiteful, hateful dick with no redeemable qualities.

A story none of us need to watch because who wants that anyway.

I’ll take Precious any day and you can go fuck yourself.

Love,
rosasparks

I think a truth bomb just dropped.

On the one hand, I am happy Santorum stepped out of the race

On the other hand, I am pretty appalled that we inhabit a society in which his blatant racism doesn’t ensure an immediate end to his career.

Rick Santorum: proving that in America you can get away with “blah people” as an explanation, call Obama the n word, and still end a presidential race on your own terms.

I forgot to mention this yesterday!

Greg and I went to this Estate Sale in San Rafael. We found some goodies for his home for a good price.

But being there, OMFG I wanted to punch a motherfucker. They had signs up around the house right, and one of the signs said “Do Not Steal: Thievery is a crime:”. No big deal right? Except for that fucking sign was in Spanish and English, and the Spanish part was in huge bolded letters and the English in small print at the bottom. Cause you know, the people that steal only speak Spanish. Fuckers. Then there was another one on the linens table that said “Please fold linens back in place” also in giant Spanish letters. Cause only Spanish speakers are messy. But the best part, a sign near the pool that said “CAUTION, SLIPPERY AREA” in English ONLY. THE FUCK?? Oh racist estate sale companies. Fuck ya’ll!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
