What was so bad about Stephanie’s outfit that she was being punished for it? Her exposed collarbone. Her mother was called to the school but even after giving her daughter a scarf, the outfit was still deemed inappropriate.

This may have been the last straw though, as the Kentucky students’ latest effort to fight back may actually get the dress code changed.

Oh my God, you can’t even see her fucking collarbone! I had to squint to find it! WHAT THE FUCK.

SERIOUSLY?  Swap out the jeans for a pair of slacks, and I’d wear that to WORK.

this just in: girls are not allowed to have bones. you must become invertebrates. ooze to class, leaving a trail of slime

Won't work. We'd be shamed and mocked for our natural slime production. If we were ever in a bad mood people would say, "gawd, are you sliming or something?"

Rape has become endemic in South Africa, so a medical technician named Sonette Ehlers developed a product that immediately gathered national attention there. Ehlers had never forgotten a rape victim telling her forlornly, “If only I had teeth down there.”

Some time afterward, a man came into the hospital where Ehlers works in excruciating pain because his penis was stuck in his pants zipper.

Ehlers merged those images and came up with a product she called Rapex. It resembles a tube, with barbs inside. The woman inserts it like a tampon, with an applicator, and any man who tries to rape the woman impales himself on the barbs and must go to an emergency room to have the Rapex removed.

When critics complained that it was a medieval punishment, Ehlers replied tersely, “A medieval device for a medieval deed.”

A medieval device for a medieval deed - yes.

This is perfect

BLESS THIS PERSON

I BOW TO THIS INTENTION

Can we talk about how beautifully this turns rape culture on its head? Instead of “If they weren’t dressed like that they wouldn’t have been raped” THIS IS LITERALLY “IF THEY HADN’T TRIED TO RAPE SOMEONE THEY  WOULDN’T HAVE SPIKES IN THEIR DICK”*

That bold bit~

reblogging for the rape culture comment omFG AMEN TO YOU 

This is awesome, but I never hear anyone mentioning gang rapes. I've heard--can't confirm--that girls were killed after wearing these. If there was a trap that operates like a stack of solo cups that'd be fucking awesome.

shout out to all the women who don’t have beautiful skin on their bodies, who have body acne or keratosis pilaris or eczema or psoriasis or lots of pimples on ur butt or lots of ingrown hairs on ur legs or scaly elbows or whatever. You are not alone 

It feels like that a lot b/c you almost never see people with severe skin issues post pics of themselves naked and lots of those pics are airbrushed but you know what you are still a motherfucking perfect badass

That'd be me

funny how not inciting violence causes peaceful protests to stay peaceful #Ferguson #MikeBrown

I like how officers just letting protest happen was apparently bizarre enough to make the fucking news

Cops were literally handing out water and hot chocolate to protestors.

HA!!

Please tell me people get the Simpsons reference.

I saw that Avatar Korra got a bob haircut, so I got a bob haircut.

On time she saw Nuktuk on a flying bison and he told her she was pretty.

I really, really liked this. Marie has still got it!

I don’t think I know anyone with this background, but maybe we can signal boost. One major thing the Ferguson organizers have been asking for specifically for several days is for service donations from mental health professionals with a background in trauma counseling, people of color would be preferable for obvious reasons. If you know someone who might be willing to either to go to Ferguson or do tele-sessions, please direct them to this form.

im really tired of europeans on here reblogging posts about racism in america and adding shocked disapproving comments like “get it together america lol” as if there isn’t an enormous amount of racism in europe and as if it wasn’t the europeans that first colonized the new world...

I've actual been happy to see support from people in other countries. So, yeah, please, keep shouting for us to get our shit together. We need it.
