Life's more often about heartbreak than anything else but those jagged, broken edges of a split heart still has a smile.

And Good News, there's alcohol and other drugs to make it better.

eloquent as fuck: Jay Gatsby was black: an explanation

pollums:

So let me explain this theory for those of you who haven’t heard it before already.

The Great Gatsby is a story of a man that makes his fortune bootlegging and throws countless magnificent parties all in hopes of attracting the attention of his old flame Daisy.

But it’s really…

Fascinating. Also fascinating, people who refuse to even acknowledge that the idea has textual support because no…which completely contradicts anything I’ve ever learned in English Classes, which is almost always about “but what does it mean when the author used this word? And why does the author used this word?”

Racism is not just slurs, prejudice, and discrimination, it is a way of seeing the world.

Can we have an Asian Batman? Oh, that’s not the authors intent when he created Batman? Was George Clooney the authors intent when he created Batman? How many times has Batman’s story been rewritten?

"19% of prime time television characters are non-human while only 17% are women"

-

A Profile of Americans’ Media Use and Political Socialization Effects: television and the Internet’s relationship to social connectedness in the USA ― Daniel German & Caitlin Lally

There are more “non-humans” on TV than women. Talk about unequal gender representation in the media.

Wait wtf

(via bitch—craft)

and please tell me what percentage of those women are women of color

we’ll wait

reblogging again for important commentary

(via loveyourchaos)

Original statements like above is where I really depart from their brand of social justice (roll my eyes and scoff), I mean, it’s not as if we don’t know that women exist in the world.  Lol.  Not being represented might mean less acting opportunities for females but if we’re talking about representation, we can all agree, regardless of percentages, women exist.  Now the women of color quote, that is worth two salt shakers and an outrage.

“Blow minds, not dudes” 

Actually you can do both! What a concept! That women can be intelligent as well as sexually active! And we don’t live in the goddamn 18th century and women don’t have to be pure little virgin housewives if they don’t want to! Oh my gosh!

OMGZ, I am outraged, OUTRAGED at how heterosexist this response is!?!?!  Dudes blow other dudes, not just girls!  You single out women performing fellatio (as well as being smart) as evidence of sexism yet you are so blind to the privilege you are giving all women over gay men by assuming heteronormativity!?!  outraged!  my blood iss boiling to the point argh arghargh

  • student: can i borrow a pencil
  • teacher: i don't know, CAN you?
  • student: yes, also colloquial irregularities occur frequently in any language and since you and the rest of our present company understood my intended meaning being particular about the distinctions between "can" and "may" is purely pedantic and arguably pretentious
