Hari Kondabolu discusses the irony of being against immigration in the United States of America at The Comedy Underground in Seattle on December 12th, 2006.
ALL THIS BAD STUFF THAT HAPPENS TO WOMEN HAPPENS TO MEN TOO, THEREFORE I DON’T HAVE TO CARE WHEN BAD STUFF HAPPENS TO WOMEN, BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE. I MEAN, HOW CAN YOU CARE ABOUT TWO STUFFS? YOU DON’T CARE ABOUT TWO STUFFS! THAT’S WHY IT’S CALLED FEMINISM NOT PEOPLEISM. OMG YOU’RE SO SEXIST.
Last night i saw Josie Long, i wish i had a transcript of the entire night because it was so awesome but it won’t all stay in my brain and i want it there forever.
My point is that feminists are not biological determinists. Feminists are the least likely people to say ‘all men are bastards’. Some of them might say ‘many men behave like bastards’. But they don’t imply that such behaviour is acceptable because its genetic or ‘natural’ for men to behave that way, like those arguments defending rapists which imply that men are really all just stupid cavemen who can’t be blamed when they rape because, hey, men just can’t help it when they see someone in a mini skirt. Feminists don’t write books about how men are genetically incapable of picking up an iron. Feminists don’t write books about how men are from another planet, one where men have to be left ‘in their cave’ because they just don’t have proper emotions like women do. That’s because actually, feminists think men should be treated as fully functional human beings with brains and morals who should be held responsible for the choices they make.
lush valentines giveaway!
hiya. i’m lois & i’m a wee bit lush obsessed! since it’s valentines in a few weeks, i thought it’d be nice to do a wee lush giveaway! i love giving people presents & making up a personalized lush valentines day gift set sounds like fun! ^_^
this giveaway will include:
lush - a million kisses lip tint;
This year’s most fashionable and romantic lips are most definitely going to be rosy! A Million Kisses is our special Valentine’s lip tint for kissable lips that smell divinely of roses.
The main ingredient in this luxurious balm is organic rose hip oil, which not only tastes delicious but works beautifully on dry skin. - Moisturising and rehydrating your lips to make them kissably soft. For the colour we’ve chosen a seductive deep ruby red; wear it with your “come hither” eyes for instant attraction.
lush - chou chou i love you toothy tabs;
The one thing you absolutely have to have on Valentine’s day is lovely sweet-smelling breath for all the kissing you’re going to be doing. These brand new Toothy Tabs are scented and flavoured with rose, so they taste like Turkish Delight and make sure you’ve got the sweetest smooches around during this, the season of romance.
lush - magic mushroom bubble bar;
Some like to say it with flowers, but if you really want to make an impression on your beloved then you can’t do better than a bunch of mushrooms! Our Magic Mushroom is possibly the cutest bubble bar we’ve ever made, and he’s back by popular demand for another shot with Cupid’s arrow.
Magic Mushroom’s bright red top is scented with our famous Vanillary fragrance, while his white stem smells of strawberries, making a yummy strawberries and cream combo that’ll give piles of fruity bathtime bubbles.
lush - love potion massage bar;
In days of yore, a young maiden with her eyes on a likely lad would ask the village wise woman for a love potion. These days a girl needs to take a more hands-on approach, so we’ve created this modern alternative which is sure to get you plenty of amorous attention from your special someone.
Love Potion is a massage bar with a difference. As well as the soft, melty cocoa and shea butters we’ve added some cornflour to the mix, which absorbs excess oils. So when the massage is over, you’ll be left with skin that feels soft and touchable, but not greasy.
Love Potion is perfumed with our best-selling Love fragrance; a light, sexy apple scent with citrusy top notes to inspire devotion.
lush - leap frog bath ballistic.
What could be more romantic than a fizzy amphibian with big red lips? Though Miss Piggy might find him attractive to look at, his true beauty only becomes apparent when he hits the water. He’ll fragrance your bath with a sexy perfume of jasmine, sandalwood and rose that’s sure to send you toadily wild for his froggy charms.
As 2012 is a leap year and according to an ancient tradition, February 29th is when the girls get to propose! So, in honour of this event, we decided to rename our famous Frog Prince Bath Bomb and bring him out to celebrate. And, if you’re wondering whether to pop the question, he might just help you make up your mind…
lush - sweetheart soap;
As one of the most sensual soap creations to ever emerge from the Lush labs, Sweetheart is a real stunner. It looks sweet and innocent in white and pale pink, but it lathers into creamy gorgeousness.

bell hooks - Feminism Is For Everybody (free download)
UMM YES! This is like 19£ on Amazon. I love you internet.
I don’t think we need feelings of empowerment, what we need is real power.
This is ammaaazing
[Abstinence-only sex ed curricula] rely on offensive, sexist stereotypes about men and women, boys and girls, as a foundational teaching tool and pass it off as “biology.” They portray “real” boys as unable to control themselves, unemotional (particularly about sex), not interested in female desire or sexual satisfaction, not ultimately responsible for their own sexual feelings (which are portrayed as dependent on how girls chose to tempt them) and definitely heterosexual. Girls, on the other hand, are shown as controlling monitors of aggressive male sexuality. In classic Madonna/whore manner, girls, despite being chaste objects of male desire and not “naturally” interested in having sex, are portrayed as temptresses that need to control what they wear and the messages they send. Also heterosexual, they are definitely not capable of managing their own reproductive lives.
I’m sorry, I’m not in a position to talk about my own experiences.
But my advice would be contact the police, it might seem like an over-reaction, and they may even tell you that there is nothing they can do,(but hopefully not) but at the very least it will serve as evidence of the problem. Also keep a record of how, when, and where they harass you and present this to the police if the problem continues after your first complaint.
Don’t attempt to reason with your ex, don’t agree to meet alone with them, change your phone number if you have to.
Don’t suffer in silence, let your friends and family know what’s happening. Abusive people attempt to isolate there victims by making them feel ashamed about what’s happening to them; they make it seem like the victim is responsible for the harassment carried out by the abuser. Surround yourself with a supportive group of people. If you don’t have a close family, or friends you feel you can trust, there are other ways to build a support network; I don’t know your location so I can’t give you specific numbers/places but if you google ‘harassment ex-boyfriend + your location” you should find out the law in your area and what places you can go to/call to seek further help.
Some of this advice might seem extreme to some people, depending on their definition of ‘hassling’, but no one has the right to make you feel unsafe or uncomfortable and you are perfectly within your rights to call the police and cut contact with this person.
A whole bunch of free CBT worksheets
Various cognitive behavioral therapy/self help worksheets for BDD, OCD, PTSD, social anxiety, depression and more.
I find some of these quite useful, so I thought others might too.
The only way to lose is to give up. It’s the same with being a feminist: I want equality in society, and I won’t get it by being quiet. And I don’t give a fuck how many people are going to call me fat or a cunt, or say they don’t want to have sex with me or I should be killed.
Thank you so much!
