ok, dude. 18-15n-77-30w? i’ve been following you b/c i appreciate the pics you post. what i do not appreciate is how you attach your name to every photo as though you yourself had something to do with taking it or producing it. and it’s unnessary anyway b/c when ppl reblog you your name pops up anyway.
but im especially pissed not b/c your deliberately deleted the caption on this photo. This woman’s name is Alexis Pauline Gumbs, she an amazing writer/scholar/artist/feminist, and she does all her shit via community. from the ground up. further more, the book she’s holding has a chapter in it that she wrote. by erasing the caption from this picture, along with all the other captions you erase, you are fucking with black women’s work AND their money. stop it. we know you don’t take these pictures. we know you don’t have shit to do with it. be respectful to the black women that you use to make your name (and i know a name is being made, i’ve seen your name on at least one “tumblrs to follow” list), and LEAVE. THEIR. CAPTIONS. ON.
Which is why nobody should give a fuck about Zimmerman getting beat up. He brought it onto himself, and he fucking shot a child.Among the evidence in the Trayvon Martin case released by the Florida state prosecutor yesterday was a 15-minute interview with a former work colleague of George Zimmerman. The man, who is not identified by name, says that Zimmerman relentlessly bullied him at work.
Zimmerman, according to the witness, targeted him because he was Middle Eastern. He repeatedly called the man a “fucking moron” and mocked him using the voice of “Achmed the terrorist.” Zimmerman’s stories about the man would involve “bombing,” “I’ll kill your family” and other “jokes” about “Middle Eastern stuff.” According to the man, this went on “for days and days.”
George Zimmerman was a scumbag even BEFORE he murdered a child.
I have no compassion in my heart for him on any level.
#just look at tony’s face #fucking look at his expression #steve’s kind of just. staring #and tony’s fucking heartbroken #you can see it in his eyes. his heart? it’s broken #all over the fucking place
#because he knows what bruce means #I think that if tony wasn’t so damn stubborn and had that ‘there’s always a way out’ thing carved so deep inside of him #he would’ve killed himself as well #what do you think that his reckless behaviour means? #he’s got a deathwish largest than the god damned stark tower #so he understands bruce and not only on that feeling #but also on being looked at as if you were a threat #unable to control yourself #a mindless beast#because let’s face it #no one there ever assumes that tony actually has the intelligence he possess #they’re constantly pointing out his flaws and looking past his good intentions #just like they do with bruce #everyone sees the hulk and no one fucking waits to think that the guy is fucking mortified of what he’s turned into
OMFG.
LMAO
also, note the poster in the back!
HAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Bye.
SHIT. I hadn’t consciously made the connection between the fact that Loki is always overlooked and ignored when he speaks and the fact that he’s put in that muzzle at the end of Avengers. I always thought that bit was a link to the bit from Norse mythology where he had his mouth sewn up as punishment for teasing some dude (details elude me right now).
But this.This makes sense.
And makes so many more feels.It’s like the ultimate insult to him.
I feel like this entire phenomenon of “SHUT UP LOKI NOBODY WANTS TO LISTEN TO YOU”, besides the sort of mean chuckle at his expense that makes me feel guilty, is fascinating. With giant angst potential that explains a lot about how Loki looks at himself and why he snaps.
No, seriously. Imagine that this sort of thing has been going on for hundreds or thousands of years. Whenever Loki opens his mouth to speak, or share an opinion, or make a suggestion, or voice an objection, there’s a good chance he’ll basically get told he’s insignificant or irrelevant or reprehensible or just flat out wrong. Stop talking. Yeah, he’s a manipulative little shit, but seriously. His words are his biggest source of power. He’s not an up front fighter—his forte lies through persuasion and the ability to reason people into the decisions that suit him. And he’s perpetually being told “YOUR ABILITIES ARE WORTHLESS, GTFO WE DON’T WANT YOU”. So even the thing he thought he was good at is being undermined.
Extra bonus points if you incorporate canon mythology and the “sew his lips up” punishment. I mean just DAMN. Physical pain and the approval of his father in that sentence aside, that literally, physically denies his right to assert or defend himself. He completely loses his voice. He’s basically having it hammered home that people would rather not hear him at all, would rather pretend he’s not there, and he can’t even count on his family to disagree.
It’s just unbelievably fucked up.
THIS. RIGHT. HERE.
No wonder he turned out the way he is. He was already an outsider in his family before he had even discovered that he was adopted.
This, exactly.
Oh fuck. My creys!!!
I can’t. Loki…
The television industry is one of the most segregated industries in America today. There is not a major industry of its size that exists in the world that is as segregated. You can see Black executives at Daimler-Chrysler or American Express, but you would be hard pressed to find more than one or two people in the entertainment world. What frustrates me is that as astute as we claim to be with all of our modern technology moving around, we have forgotten one of the oldest rules articulated by Frederick Douglass: ‘Power gives up nothing without demand.’ Some of the highest paid performers are Black. [White executives] will give you all the money you can hold, but when you ask for power, you get a blank look. Think about that, ‘The thing of value is not the money but the power.’ I’ll tell you what, ‘You give me the power, I’ll make my own money.’ - Tim Reid
This is truly gangster in my opinion. Not that gun toting, drug selling stuff. THIS IS GANGSTER

Free speech as a legal concept only guarantees you the right to speak. It doesn’t guarantee you the right to be heard, it doesn’t guarantee you the right to be agreed with, it certainly doesn’t guarantee you the right for your speech to not be challenged by someone else’s speech, and most importantly of all, it doesn’t mean you can’t suffer consequences if and when your free speech is used to cause harm to someone. Which is exactly what sexual harassment, racial slurs, and verbal bigotry are. That’s not censorship. That’s fairness.

HOUSTON — The day after an all-white jury acquitted a former Houston police officer for his role in the beating of a 15-year-old African American burglary suspect, community activists rallied a crowd of at least 200 people on the courthouse steps to protest.
Andrew Blomberg was acquitted by a jury in Houston on Wednesday in the alleged beating and stomping of Chad Holley two years ago.
Protesters carrying signs with slogans like, “No justice, no peace. Stop the racist police,” and “Justice for Trayvon Martin” circled in front of the Harris County Courthouse and a phalanx of media cameras.
Some of them chanted that Houston Mayor Annise Parker and Harris County District Attorney Patricia Lykos have to go — even though both officials issued statements saying they disagreed with the verdict.
experimenting with drugs at the high school into college age is perfectly normal

oh wait i forgot those only apply to the “well adjusted” white chilrun
