Once upon a time in MODERN DAY LONDON, there was a “consulting detective” by the name of Shin’ichi Honda (30). (Okay, her name was actually Shigeko, but who the hell wants to be a “nourishing child” when you can be the ONE TRUTH.)
She was looking for a…

Make me a vegan diet plan for 2 weeks. And if I like it, I’ll actually try it.
But it’s not so simple. See, I’m poor. And by poor, I mean, your meal plan can’t cost me more than $30 for 2 weeks (and I mean not a cent more).
And I live in the northeast by the great lakes. This means that…

Happy birthday Huey P. Newton
It was yesterday, when I reblogged some quotes and pics. But I wanted to find the link to this amazing piece Huey wrote for The Black Panther newsletter:

“During the past few years strong movements have developed among women and among homosexuals seeking their...

Listening to African Queers by Gukira →
fyeahafrica:
A few weeks ago, I broke a longstanding personal rule and left a comment on a mainstream, very popular, award-winning U.S. gay blog. A long string of comments by mostly gay men (if web identities count for anything) supported the U.K.’s decision to consider sexual rights in granting aid. Many of the commentators condemned not simply homophobia and transphobia in Africa, but African...

Distributed denial of service (DDOS) is a favorite tactic of Anonymous. While the media likes to call DDOS a form of ‘hacking’, this is at best a technical misunderstanding. DDOS does no permanent damage and doesn’t involve breaking into servers or stealing data. Rather, it simply overwhelms a…

leonineantiheroine:
Relevant to Australia and also online spaces, and thanks abagond!!! xx
“White women’s tears is one of the main ways White American women have of derailing any talk of racism, particularly their own racism. It is part of a more general pattern of white people making their feelings matter more than the truth – something you see too in the tone argument, for example.

So, can I just point out that Hugo chose who to attack & who to support like all capable predators do? There’s a reason he white knighted for white feminists & did his best to frame any negative responses to their work from POC (specifically WOC) as attacks that must be fought off. This dynamic…

droppingthefbomb:
If you are a transgender person in Sweden today looking to legally change your gender, in the 21st century you are still forced to undergo surgery that will render you permanently infertile and forever unable to have children.
