I’m not sure how much of my crying to blame on the second bourbon and ginger beer I’m drinking, and how much to blame on the Deathly Hallows Part 2. I just love Harry Potter so much. And while I love the movies less than I love the books, it is still so much love.
Quite often I is left instead of right.

Yo. For real. Rollins isn’t cool. I sat through a talk where be essentially said if a 16 year old sends a guy naked pictures she is going to end up raped and in garbage bags along the highway. He said when she tried to send him pictures that his response was “respect yourself more…
Erik, is this what you were looking for?

84*, feels like 101*, 100% humidity. What the shit is this, Brooklyn?
I’m writing this with the assumption that everyone will agree that cleaning up broken glass sucks. I just cleaned up a ton of tiny glass shards from a ceiling light globe which was not broken by me, and was shittily cleaned up after by person who did the breaking. This was after cleaning up the foot of the girl who left a blood trail on the hardwood floor after she cut her toe on one of the aforementioned shards. Then I cleaned up the blood trail.
And I didn’t even break the fucking glass! Argh, I’m so annoyed. Who breaks glass and thinks getting all the big pieces is enough?!?! God damn it.
❝ I am not Mike Brown. I am white. I am middle class. I am female. I am small. I am not considered a threat. When police see me they see someone who looks like them. They see their mothers, their daughters, their sisters, themselves. I am not at risk of being shot by police for existing while black. I am not at risk of being shot while unarmed. I am not at risk of being shot while armed with nothing more than a BB gun. I am not at risk of being shot for reaching for my wallet. I am privileged.
But I am outraged. And if you aren’t outraged, then you aren’t paying attention. This is America in 2014. This is our reality. It’s so easy to get jaded and to ignore these atrocities, to act like this doesn’t affect us. It’s so easy to get apathetic. In the past it was the youth who protested. Where is the rage of the youth? Where is our rage?
Like I said, I am not Mike Brown. But I am outraged. ❞

Notice something in common in these photos?
It’s not what you think
I gave it away in the third pic
That’s right! None of these cops are wearing badges or name tags! I wonder why… seems like it’d be important to wear those, since it’s even illegal not to in other states…
This is actually illegal in all states. A police officer must be marked as such with name and badge at all times unless their jurisdiction states otherwise (such as an undercover officer), and even when not wearing a badge, the officer must have the badge accessible at all times and must show the badge in order to make an arrest. Name tags are not required as long as a badge is available because the badge has the officer number on it.
Whine, whine, whine
I’m applying to jobs (forever and ever) right now, and I’m looking through the New York City government jobs in health. There is a shocking number of them that are only open to Permanent (Insert Job Title). What these job postings are missing is any information about how to become one of these Permanent Whatevers. It’s annoying to have something be so opaque when job searching already sucks so much.
Oh, and I just got a call from my apartment management company, and they have no record of us paying rent last month. I have many questions, first of them being: Why did it take you a month to figure this out?!?! But the second being: What kind of fucking system do you have to keep track of these things? I pay rent in cash because I get paid in cash, and I’m really regretting that at the moment. If I paid with a check, I would have a record of it like my roommate does. But hopefully they will accept his proof for both of us, since we always pay together. Ugh, I don’t want to deal with this bullshit right now.
“”My response to the “I am not a feminist” internet phenomenon…. First of all, it’s clear you don’t know what feminism is. But I’m not going to explain it to you. You can google it. To quote an old friend, “I’m not the feminist babysitter.”But here is what I think you should know.You’re insulting every woman who was forcibly restrained in a jail cell with a feeding tube down her throat for your right to vote, less than 100 years ago.You’re degrading every woman who has accessed a rape crisis center, which wouldn’t exist without the feminist movement.You’re undermining every woman who fought to make marital rape a crime (it was legal until 1993).You’re spitting on the legacy of every woman who fought for women to be allowed to own property (1848). For the abolition of slavery and the rise of the labor union. For the right to divorce. For women to be allowed to have access to birth control (Comstock laws). For middle and upper class women to be allowed to work outside the home (poor women have always worked outside the home). To make domestic violence a crime in the US (It is very much legal in many parts of the world). To make workplace sexual harassment a crime.In short, you know not what you speak of. You reap the rewards of these women’s sacrifices every day of your life. When you grin with your cutsey sign about how you’re not a feminist, you ignorantly spit on the sacred struggle of the past 200 years. You bite the hand that has fed you freedom, safety, and a voice.In short, kiss my ass, you ignorant little jerks.””—

I love this. Want to know where feminism is headed? Read Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay.
