Share ideas? Instead of flattery and hate. (Although all previous flattery is still appreciated and highly questioned.)

Last night I was sexually assaulted in the street (well, tonight, but I’m publishing today so I’ve edited as such). Let me be clear on this; I wasn’t actually physically harmed in anyway, but I was put under threat for my bodily integrity (that I might be raped or beaten), which, in Australia at least (I’m not entirely familiar with the laws in the USA but I assume they are similar in...

Before anyone gets the wrong idea, this is not me thinking I can sing, this is recreational embarrassment (also why I sang quietly on purpose). You totally owe me for this. Somehow. Yeah. What.
Don’t mind this post.
Tumblr makes him shy; normally he belts out the lyrics. Again, is he the best, or the best?

Gay Judge Refuses To Marry Straight Couples →
Dallas judge Tonya Parker says she won’t conduct any marriage ceremonies until she and every other gay person in Texas have the same right to marry. When she turns straight couples away, Parker tells them: “I’m sorry. I don’t perform marriage ceremonies because we are in a state that does not have marriage equality, and until it does, I am not going to partially apply the law to one group of...

Not exactly analogous, because military decision-makers should do that since there is no reason to be bombing anyone, to say the least, especially civilians, where as aborting a fetus is actually justifiable. But yes. Yes, so hard.
I'm going for a walk to leave books around town.

I fucking love doing this shit. I take the books I read and love, write my name and a message inside and leave them in cafes, park benches, bus stops.
A book on a shelf serves no purpose.
What an angel!
I wish I had enough books to do this! ): Imagine if everyone did this? It’d be like an omnipresent Occupy Library.

Hello civilian Let me tell you, I am standing atop the tower, watching from the viewpoints and if I take it I won’t make this fall, Cape to leap and letter in hand that just reads “help,” But I won’t make this fall. So when you look up at me, wondering, if I can fly, if I can take your breath like the spinning wind like a fire imagined cradled in my palms or unreal beams...

Gandhi is not India.
Gandhi was not a perfect man. He tried to freed India, but he wasn’t the only one.
The Indian uprising was filled with tons of bloody revolts, outright massacres (Jallanwalia Bagh, anyone?), and it was not only non-violence that got freedom from India. Gandhi succeeded where others failed because of his status in India, not essentially because of his...

We’ve long argued this meme isn’t true. But now it’s explicitly false:
Last year, about 80,000 emergency-room patients at hospitals owned by HCA, the nation’s largest for-profit hospital chain, left without treatment after being told they would have to first pay $150 because they did not have a true emergency.
Led by the Nashville-based HCA, a growing number of hospitals have implemented the...

My friend compared George Orwell to Ayn Rand.
Okay, they both weren’t the best writers and were more concerned with their ideas rather than their style but god damn’t, at least George Orwell had the depth to go beyond A = A nonsense

Tonight at church, the pastor made a few comments — as he usually does — about America’s wars, the military, etc.
Something along the lines of “pray for our country,” “pray for the branches of our military who are risking their lives,” “God bless our troops,” etc.
Being of course that I am a heretic in the church of American military fetishism, these comments bothered me for many...

This post has been sitting in my drafts for a few months now:
You only have to talk to a climate scientist or someone well versed with that knowledge for a few minutes to realize if humans continue consuming resources and increasing population at the rate we are, Earth can only sustain for a few hundred, or a hundred years at most. Even those who are naive enough to cast anthropogenic climate...
