“I’m going to Israel next week.”
“You’re not Jewish, are you?”
“I am.”
“Jewish and what?”
“Jewish and German, Iraqi, African, Irish, Portuguese, French, Cherokee, Lenape, and Blackfoot.”

For a blog based on simply taking pictures of interesting people, HONY sure is racist/sexist/otherwise-problematic REALLY often. :\ And he never acknowledges it even though said posts are full of notes calling him out about it.

Sooo I haven’t seen this movie but…tonight at work, this big group of high schoolers came in that were clearly part of the after-church-youth-group crowd we get a lot at my yogurt shop on Sunday nights. And a group of them started talking about this movie. I was wiping down chairs because we were about to close in about a half hour, and I overhear the following:

Girl: “So this one character is flirting with this guy the whole movie, and she asks him out at the end, and he says that he’s gay. What a great thing to have in a movie for kids, right? I mean, it’s a family movie.”

…>_>

I wanted to say something SO badly, to the effect of “WTF, gay people exist, you homophobic religious nut”, but managed to slip into the back of the store and calm down. The sad thing is, I remember how everyone around me when I was still in the church environment used to have attitudes like this. They acted like it was a personal affront to even acknowledge that some people were gay, like doing so would infect their children’s minds and they might, I don’t know, *not* grow up to be insanely judgmental? Anyway. Just a bit of gif-relevant ranting. Not like there’s anything to be done about it, except hope that with each generation, the amount of people brainwashed into acting like this becomes smaller.

I suggest all females watch this.

*i suggest all humans watch this.

If you haven’t watched this yet, you really should.

This is a must, girls and boys.

I agree that everyone should watch this. This is one of the few videos on female representation in the media that at least tries to point out that the way females are represented has a negative effect on everyone, not just women. 

I love that this`touches also on how media affects men, but wow. Stereotypes are perpetuated by television more than in reality, and they are so skewed because they have to be provocative or funny or any number of things that aren’t complete or real enough.

This affects not only women and men, but race, gays and lesbians, trans people, all people.

We all struggle against what we are supposed to be, what we are told we should be, and yet when positions in media and PR change, the image doesn’t. Because people get those positions by conforming to that image, and breaking out risks loss.

This is why it is so hard for anyone to be who they really are, because they are so busy being what other’s expect so as not to be harassed for not being what they are supposed to be.

Oh man, Geena Davis. I love her with all -y heart.

All my followers should watch this video

Everyone needs to watch this and see how harmful misrepresentation and perpetuating harmful stereotypes are not just to a minority group, but to everyone.

Only by adapting a new way of thinking, by treating everyone equally, and even eroding gender roles, can we influence our peers and perpetuate something good.

This is indeed an important message, and well done. Worth a watch, it’s like 9 minutes long.

Maine Republican chair suspects voter fraud because black people voted in his state.

He actually said this, and then some. Watch the whole thing.

I’ve heard “None of my friends would ever vote for ________, so how did they win?”, but this is a new one.

“That should do it.”

His hat kept flying off, so what does Harrison do? He staples it to his head. 

What. A. Badass.  

I saw this entire interview, start to finish, and yeah, that’s exactly what happened. Three staples; they got the shot; then medical went over and tended his forehead.

He is crazy as fuck. Crazy awesome as fuck. The entire world should be as crazy as Harrison Ford.

a reminder for everyone to be more like Harrison Ford

Guys…no… look up “Indiana Jones” on wikipedia. Search for “urban legend” on that page. He pretended to staple his hat on as a gag, for a documentary.

Sigh.

I mean, it’s still a pretty good improv joke. But he…didn’t really. Tumblr really is far too gullible for something that is largely made up of a generation who has ALWAYS had Google at their fingertips.

Map of the Open Country of a Woman’s Heart

It’s funny when posts like this pop up from my non-equality followed blogs cause I’m all expecting a shitstorm of “wtf is this sexist nonsense” in the notes but instead get a mixture of “lol, I love this” and “women, amirite.” >_>

Land of Selfishness? Country of Eligibleness? Caprice? Fickleness? This is clearly an old “map” but really, it’s pretty bad.

“I’m not ashamed to dress ‘like a woman’ because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.” - Iggy Pop

Iggy Pop is such a bad ass. There’s an interview I watched where his manager talked about having to bail him out of jail. The manager shows up and Iggy is drunk, disorderly, and wearing a dress. His manager asked “Ig, why are you wearing a womans dress?” and Iggy replied “I beg to differ, this is a mans dress.”

It’s like Eddie Izzard says - ‘They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.’

Brilliant…

That dress does compliment his figure though.

WERK IT

Have never understood why we are so hung-up on certain ways of draping fabric over someone’s body being exclusively…well, I’d say masculine or feminine, but let’s face it, it’s pretty much only “girl’s” clothes that aren’t tolerated on men.

It’s just fabric, guys. Who cares if they encase someone’s legs or let them breathe? Who cares if it’s cut in a deep V on the chest or goes all the way up to their neck? Who cares if it’s blue, pink, black, purple, polka-dotted, flower-printed… IT’S JUST CLOTHING.

A few months ago I was working at Costco and this guy selling barbecues near me was snickering while looking at his phone and wanted to show me this “guy wearing a skirt” that he took a picture of. Now, even if said skirt had been bright pink with lacy ruffles, my reaction would have been “who gives a fuck.”

…The guy was wearing a kilt. That’s…that’s not even traditionally female clothing. Yet this American guy still found it hilarious. :| We need to collectively get over it, it’s juvenile and asinine.
