Watch: In a powerful Congresional speech, Sandra Bland’s mother called people who think they’re woke “the walking dead” because of how little we still know

The speech included a rousing call to action before the newly formed Congressional Caucus On Black Women & Girls. And her words were incredibly resonant, even if you think you know the whole story.

May 5th, 2016 

My cousin just called and told us that Israel is bombing Gaza City and the strip heavily right now. 

Update: Causalities have been reported. 

Update: 65 year-old man and 3 children were wounded

And Israeli tanks advance in the southern part of the Gaza Strip near Rafah

Update: 50 year-old Palestinian woman killed after being hit by Israeli artillery, her name was Zeinah al-Amoor, and 21 year-old man was also wounded.

And Israeli drones are flying over Gaza. 

It´s not like Gaza was killing innocent Israelis… oh but they were. 

You just conveniently forgot to mention Gaza’s rocket attacks on Jewish cities. 

Please tell me when was an Israeli killed by a rocket from Gaza in the last year or so :)

y’all act like girls are psycho for showing emotions like grow up

I find it fascinating that people who choose not to have children are generally assumed to feel really strongly about not having children (or even to feel really strongly against children, anyone’s children, in general). I am probably not going to have children, not because I REALLY REALLY HATE the idea of having children, but because I don’t really really love it. Out of all the major decisions I will make in my life, this one is the only irreversible one. I can sell a house, quit a job, divorce a spouse, whatever. I cannot unhave a child. I cannot opt out of being a parent once I become a parent. I can’t even take a step back for the sake of self-care or whatever, or else my child will suffer.

So for me, having children is fuck yes or not at all. The default will be to remain childfree. Having children should be an opt-in decision, not an opt-out one. Until/unless I develop really strong feelings about wanting to have children, I won’t have them, even if that means I never end up having them at all.

This is really, REALLY well put.
