What's with this unending need to classify...
anticapitalist:
It’s a fluid thing based on your genetics, environment, how you were raised etc…
Maybe I’m wrong, but there is no need to compartmentalize yourself.
Just do whatever you want with whomever you want to.
idk.
pointless post is pointless.
agreed partially- but classifying can be both community-building and affirming for some people who need to know that what they feel is...

i hate tumblr social justice culture almost as much as i hate that people make fun of it
it does some legitimate things and and and
ugh i should sleep shouldn’t i
same goes for vegans except the opposite way
i hate people who assume all vegans are privilege-denying assholes who ignore all human oppression almost as much as i hate the vegans that give us that reputation

Hey LGBT Activists,
ethiopienne:
You do know that it’s possible to fight for LGBT rights without appropriating the Civil Rights movement, right? And that the Civil Rights movement is not yours to appropriate? And that dismantling homophobia can be done without perpetuating racism? And that—huge shocker here, I know—some people are both black and queer? Just checking. Because it really doesn’t seem like y’all are...

I can tell you right now, Elton John’s Mama had no idea her kid was going to grow up to have a great relationship with a man and have a son. But hey, she also WANTED her son and CHOSE to give birth to him.

If someone is over sixteen and they’ve decided to flee their parents’ house, far as I’m concerned, they’re well within their rights. If you’re one of those people supporting/reblogging the father of that girl in Texas whose note begs him not to come after her - wow, do I ever not trust you.

Day 2: Describe/take a picture of your favorite Femme outfit.
I’m the one holding the stoplight sign. It’s me at slutwalk but basically I just had an old homecoming dress and put a riot grrrl pin on it. It made me happy.
Day 3: What is your biggest Femme problem? Guilt over consumerism and, on the other end of the spectrum, compulsive buying and/or buyers’ remorse.

stfuhypocrisy:
You’re either going to have to admit that the entire reason why you’re against abortion is religiously motivated, for which there is a separation of church and state and therefore you’re not allowed to legislate based on religion. Or, if it’s motivated by science (and not made up shit) then you’re gonna have to admit that science also supports evolution, which means God isn’t...

I took a peek at some of the comments on the recent post that Tumblr is considering banning blogs that promote things like eating disorders and suicide. Predictably, many people are whining about how Tumblr is taking away their right to free speech.
If you are of this mindset, please note the following:
Such a policy does not encroach on your First Amendment right to free...

"Occupy tumblr, tumblr is becoming a police...
That’s something I saw on a reblog of the recent staff post about their new SI-blog policy.
While I have mixed feelings, and feelings on which I am not absolutely certain, about this policy, I take issue with this idea that tumblr is a “police state” that we need to “occupy”.
Honestly? Tumblr is a private enterprise. While I disagree with the concept of private...

radical love!: The ability to be a vegetarian or vegan in today’s western society stems from a position of social privilege.

This is true. However, that fact does not ethically excuse those who have the ability to be vegan from doing so. We can’t all avoid sweatshop-made clothing, but if we can and we choose not to, we’re complicit.

not to mention coca cola employs neo-colonialist practices so people shouldn’t buy from them anyway.

Day 1: Why do you identify as Femme?
For me, femme means I can wear dresses and sparkles and be just as tough as the girl with combat boots and a fauxhawk- I can even wear all of the above. I can paint my nails because I want to, not to fit in, and I can love my body just the way it is and show it off to whomever I please.
More specifically, femme for me means overcoming my fear of showing off the way I look. I’m afraid people...
