thisishangingrockcomics: This is why I think wearing bindi if you’re not a part of the culture is a form of cultural appropriation: If it’s in the context of a form of cultural exchange (i.e. an Indian, Hindu, or person of any other race, religion, culture, or ethnicity which wears bindi) than that person is giving you the privilege of allowing you to wear it. But if you take it upon yourself to...

Gay men and the way we talk about and to women.
ohrohin: I was having a great back-and-forth with a feminist today and we were talking about how in New York City, in 2012, gay men need to start taking responsibility for their behaviors and their actions. Chiefly, this: You can’t say horrible misogynistic crap and file it away under LOL I’M GAY. We live in a time when the President has endorsed gay marriage, when one of the most influential...

Quick bit before I go to class: Mark had us read “How to Tame a Wild Tongue” from Borderland/la Frontera, the New Mestiza by Gloria Anzaldua. All the tears. I bought the book. I thought waiting for Selena’s new CD would take forever.

Exams and other things!
Texas and Local gov exam to be exact. I turned in my argumentative paper and I really hope he doesn’t take off points for the interjection of my personal experience. I do think it’s relevant to my case. Going to start contextualizing my notes and posting them on Google docs so I can remember them. God, so much has happened and yet nothing to note really. I honestly wish Mark had a...

dumbthingswhitepplsay: I am seeing these same things over and over and over again, and white people, you just haven’t learned the meaning of the term “shut up” yet. Hopefully this will teach it to you. Now, in and of themselves, these comments are not ACTIVELY racist. They do not ACTIVELY perpetuate violence. However, what they do is make you, and other white people believe that you still get...

Dear tumblr.
I think I am making my argumentative paper too personal. Oh God. I’m going to fail this class. Argumentative paper is discussing child sexual abuse prevention programs.
