Around the Interwebz: Birthday Edition

It's my 27th birthday!


THE FLUFF

If you ever need cheering up, I recommend @cuteemergency on Twitter.

I'm a sucker for abandoned places

Who's chopping onions?

This never fails to make me laugh

Complete truth
ASK YOURSELF IF MILEY CYRUS OR ANY OTHER 20-YEAR-OLD WHITE GIRL WOULD BE PUT ON TRIAL POSTHUMOUSLY IF SOMEONE SHOT HER FOR WALKING AROUND IN A HOODIE. THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF WHITE PRIVILEGE.

 Disgusting (TW)
What the fuck?

Abortion Barbies: Are they now available in Toys R Us?

Beautiful picture
That makes me itch for a road trip.

YES

Kitties! & Moar kitties

Erick Erickson just needs to go away.
Far, far, far, far away

*headdesk*
New drinking game: everytime Mommy Wars is said, take a shot.

Awesome people we should learn about in history class

Amazing new website

Disgusting waste of air on planet Earth (TW)
Ted Nugent, the 80’s rocker who has found a second career as right-wing flame thrower, appeared on a talk radio show in Maine on Saturday and said that Trayvon Martin, the unarmed 17 year old black Florida teen who was shot and killed last year, deserved his fate.

 Awesome

More yes
I struggle with this so much.

Truth & More
Really good to see this.

Yes, this
We have five percent of the world’s population; we have 25 percent of the world’s known prison population.



Wait, what?

One of the arguments made in support of Arizona’s 20-week abortion ban by Americans United for Life and anti-abortion doctors, for example, is that women need to be prevented from having later abortions for their own good, because “researchers have also found that women who undergo abortions at 13 weeks or beyond report ‘more disturbing dreams, more frequent reliving of the abortion, and more trouble falling asleep.”


"Because that's what you do when you grow up and get married," was the most common answer I heard after asking why they had children.



Really? We're still doing this?



Many Canadians have the ridiculous belief that Canada is somehow less racist than the U.S. They repeat the lie about how Canada is a tossed salad instead of a melting pot and how multi-culturalism in Canada leads to equality. What they fail to understand is that this does not take into account all of the little microaggressions that people of colour face every day.





I haven't seen the show, but I love this interview.

If you haven't, read The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks.
