Why are you so focused on what you hate? Why is it that your greatest pleasure comes from mocking and belittling others? Anybody who kids themselves into believing you a good person is a fool. Good people don’t come in packages shaped like you.

I’ve noticed that if someone’s depressed every once in a while, not clinically depressed or anything, just really sad, people take the time to worry. If someone’s depressed most of the time, as in has depression and takes medication and all of that, people don’t seem as concerned because it’s such an ongoing thing.
I’m not sure why that is,...

“There is a special place in hell for women who don’t help other women.”

Michael Cera looks so much like a deer in person GOD I couldn’t stop thinking about that for most of the play
Also lol at how he played the exact same character he always does - I enjoyed it, it just amazes me that he can’t seem to break out of that mold
Kieran Culkin was crazy on stage oh my god, it was fantastic though. And at one point he was trying so hard not to laugh and it...
Do you know what one of the most depressing things in the world is? Lost pet signs. Do you know how you can make those even more depressing? Getting your 5 year old to write them. I almost burst into tears on the street. I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR BUNNY LITTLE GIRL

– Yoko Ono (via swayinghummingbirds)
This is not her best quote.
These are her best quotes:
“Imagine one thousand suns rising at the same time. Dance in the field.”
“Tape the sound of the lake gradually freezing. Drink a cup of hot chocolate, afterwards.”

A guy in my tutorial really just used the term ‘left-wing propaganda’ in reference to a documentary about capitalism’s effects on the environment

Looking at shoes and wanting to cry because I WANT ALL THE SHOES

Just saying.
I feel really weird about Tumblr sometimes. I keep being told things about my own identity and it’s causing me far too much confusion than I am capable of dealing with at this early in the morning (just before 11am is early for me on days without school, okay).
I’ve been told by Tumblr that Greeks count as PoC. I guess, historically as immigrants at...

Campaign to stop Kony shines light on ill-informed... →
“First, the facts. Following a successful campaign by the Ugandan military and failed peace talks in 2006, the LRA was pushed out of Uganda and has been operating in extremely remote areas of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, South Sudan and the Central African Republic - where Kony himself is believed to be. In October last year, US President Barack Obama authorised the deployment of...

From the article:
I’ve just been speaking with Arthur Larok, Action Aid’s director in Uganda. He was previously the director of programmes at the Uganda National NGO Forum for nine years.
“From what I know about Invisible Children, it’s an international NGO, and it documents the lives of children living in conflict for international campaigning to draw attention to the...

A Peace of my mind: Respect my agency 2012! →
(A fascinating read, and a perspective on Kony 2012 that I have yet to see amongst all of the white people shouting at each other and insisting they know what’s best for a continent they have minimal knowledge of.)
I have had roughly 24 hours to gather my thoughts about the latest fund-raising stunt undertaken by the long-in-the-tooth Invisible Children (IC) organization. In that time, I...

I need people to understand that my concerns about the KONY 2012 campaign don’t mean I think it’s a complete waste. I think teenagers caring about this shit is important - I was always ecstatic when people I know showed an interest in my latest cause/campaign. I just think that for awareness to be truly effective, education needs to have a large role, and I don’t think you can be...
GODDAMMIT PEOPLE
Africa is not one blob of sameness - the problems faced by certain countries there (ie Kony’s Army) are not problems faced by all of the others. Don’t go on about ‘saving Africa’ or reblogging photos about KONY 2012 that feature the entire continent of Africa, because that just adds to the idea that Africa is all the same, and all countries there face the...
Seriously please don't support Invisible Children...
resistapathy:
Not only are their spending habits as a non profit horrible (Mainly cause the organization has so far only been successful as sending rich white kids to Africa)
http://www.charitynavigator.org/index.cfm?bay=search.summary&orgid=12429
But If you watch their first documentary, its basically a bunch of privileged kids running into Africa to try and “Save” Africans.

Let’s explore some of the things Hitchens said about Islam and Muslims, shall we?
In this debate with Tariq Ramadan, Hitchens argues against the notion that Islam is a peaceful religion.
“Defending Islamofascism: It’s a valid term. Here’s why.”
“Islamophobia is vague and linguistically clumsy. A phobia is an irrational fear. My fear of Islamic terrorism is not irrational. It’s...

“Where’s White History Month” - Every fucking day of every month, most history taught in schools is focused on the actions of white people (including negative actions that are taught with a positive spin on them)
“Why do gay people need their own day? Where’s my day?” - Every day, you’re allowed to marry your partner and have kids together and you...

There is a small island in the Mediterranean Sea that does not appear on any map. It cannot be seen from any other island, nor can any other land be seen from it. On this island is a lighthouse, rotting from age and sea water, which is never lit. There is nothing inside it, save for a spiraling staircase that leads to the top, and an ancient, dusty bookcase.
The case is filled with unmarked...
