What where you expecting? It’s an ad of ciswomen for ciswomen. If anything, a ciswoman has the potential to become a transman.
Oh, yeah… What was I expecting… BTW, cis and trans are shortened adjectives and so there should be a space… And, what? A cis woman becomes a trans man? Wow… How exactly?
I meant hypotetically, as in somebody who is too young (and confused...

tuuli:
A real physicist would tell you that there’s this thing called entropy. A real physicist would tell you that, when we say that information isn’t destroyed, we aren’t talking about the classical information that makes up your body and mind. A real physicist would tell you that the chances of you and your loved one being randomly reassembled in the future is vanishingly small and that the...

“You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of thermodynamics; that no energy gets created in the universe, and none is destroyed. You want your mother to know that...

Me: Would you like it to be done the A way or the B way?
Client: Yes.
The fault is yours for not asking correctly. In boolean logic that is a correct answer. (?)
It's a simple thing, folks.

You are a white supremacist if you are white and:
defend white supremacy
attack PoC for defending themselves against white supremacy
believe that you have to be poor to be a white supremacist
in any way hold viewpoints that uphold white supremacy
are not offended by racism
believe that ignorance is an excuse for racism
refuse...
clientsfromhell:
A client has various business areas which are identified by acronyms, including LAP, EQP and FAP. They wanted some new online adverts made up. I asked what ideas they’d had for the text. This is what they came back with
FAP online (everyone is doing it)
FAP in schools
FAP for life.
I approve of this.

I’m a boy who likes girls, but I like the colors of this flag. Problem?
A veces me gustaría ser mujer, para poder sentir lo que sienten cada mes.

Random access memory
tuuli:
That’s what my long-term memory is like — random.
I get smells, (usually) images, whatnot, of past things appear suddenly in my mind, but I can’t remember simple things like what an everyday thing is called.
Also, my short-term memory sucks, too. Well, mainly for language.
What’s your memory like?
“Women are naturally attractive. Why do you think when you open a magazine for...”
– A male classmate explains his stance on why female nudes are the most popular subject in our student art gallery. But it’s “positive” and “flattering” to women, so I shouldn’t complain. (via microaggressions)
Dear fellow white people,
yummydick:
Things we should internalize about racism:
We can be “nice,” “smart,” “compassionate,” “caring” and racist at the same time. None of these are mutually exclusive.
It doesn’t matter if we didn’t mean to be racist. Intentions don’t matter. Actions & consequences do.
Just because we “don’t hate people of color” doesn’t mean we’re not racist. Racism is subtle, sub-conscious, and...
