I say this as a white girl: going through the paradigm shift necessary to unlearn racism hurts, getting called out hurts & learning your thoughts are not the most important hurts. But none of that holds a candle to how much hurt you will be inflicting if you don't. It's the price you pay for meeting the bare minimum standards of being a decent person. So put on your big girl pants & deal with it.

thatneedstogo reblogged stfuconservatives“You can consent to sex without consenting to other things. You can consent to sex without consenting to pregnancy, stds, certain types of sex, marriage, relationships, and a multitude of other things. You can consent to oral sex, but not to penetrative sex. You are not a tease for wanting to do one thing and not another. You can consent to sex once without consenting again.”
— The whole post is great but this is one of the most important points in my opinion

But Governor Romney, when we lose 23 cents every hour, every day, every paycheck, every job, over our entire lives, what we lose can’t just be measured in dollars.”

THIS WAS SO AWESOME.

Also: Cheryl, welcome to Tumblr. In case you couldn’t tell, we’re all excited for you to be here.

At their wedding in Indianapolis, a newly married opposite-sex couple decided that instead of having a traditional first dance together, they would reserve the first dance of the night for the same-sex couples whose relationships couldn’t be legally recognized.
John Green was there, and he posted about the night on Tumblr:
This was a large and very diverse wedding in a state that doesn’t even recognize same-sex civil unions, let alone marriage. And yet the ovation that these people received while dancing to The Beach Boys’ “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” was like nothing I’ve ever heard at any wedding. If there were dry eyes, I didn’t see any.
Change is coming.
Change is coming.
I later learned one of my college pals is in that picture. :) So happy.

thatneedstogo reblogged littleletters“leaving is not enough; you must
stay gone. train your heart
like a dog. change the locks
even on the house he’s never
visited. you lucky, lucky girl.
you have an apartment
just your size. a bathtub
full of tea. a heart the size
of Arizona, but not nearly
so arid. don’t wish away
your cracked past, your
crooked toes, your problems
are papier mache puppets
you made or bought because the vendor
at the market was so compelling you just
had to have them. you had to have him.
and you did. and now you pull down
the bridge between your houses,
you make him call before
he visits, you take a lover
for granted, you take
a lover who looks at you
like maybe you are magic. make
the first bottle you consume
in this place a relic. place it
on whatever altar you fashion
with a knife and five cranberries.
don’t lose too much weight.
stupid girls are always trying
to disappear as revenge. and you
are not stupid. you loved a man
with more hands than a parade
of beggars, and here you stand. heart
like a four-poster bed. heart like a canvas.
heart leaking something so strong
they can smell it in the street.”— ~ “Frida Kahlo to Marty McConnell”, by Marty McConnell.
you can see her perform it here. made me cry.
