I have bullshitted my way through almost two decades of life

At least as far as what it says about intellect, that’s better than spending your youth enthralled with nonsense. As I spent so much of it.

You’re fuckin insightful. I’ve my memories and the pictures you’ve got up. …Fuckin lust.

I’m sure that many of you have recently come across this photoshopped image of Willow Smith wearing this shirt:

ancestryinprogress:  thugzmansion:  hey willow, can you teach us how to dress like you?  i need that shirt immediately right now as of this moment as soon as possible. 

Watching this circulate on tumblr and FB was/is painful and enraging for reasons that I will get into shortly. But before I do, I want to clarify that my point…

malanga-coco:

one day i will completely hash out how bitterness as an insult is more potent as an attack against women then it is against men.

and i think a lot of it has to do with the thought that women are irrational and if we have been hurt by a man and justly place blame on that man…

Could an understanding that it tends to be harder for men to lose a lover play some part?

I really sorta like how this person puts this, “someone worth learning with and someone who is just there for the ride.”

It slipped my mind. It’s disturbing. I recall articles from two different British and two different Canadian publications on this hate riot. As far as U.S. media, there was an opinion piece on CNN’s website, and an article on the Christian Science Monitor’s website. QUITE. FUCKED. UP. …I guess that’s some of my naivete shattered.

“This piece was primarily a trust exercise, in which she told viewers she would not move for six hours no matter what they did to her.  She placed 72 objects one could use in pleasing or destructive ways, ranging from flowers and a feather boa to a knife and a loaded pistol, on a table near her and invited the viewers to use them on her however they wanted.  

Initially, Abramović said, viewers were peaceful and timid, but it escalated to violence quickly.  “The experience I learned was that … if you leave decision to the public, you can be killed… I felt really violated: they cut my clothes, stuck rose thorns in my stomach, one person aimed the gun at my head, and another took it away. It created an aggressive atmosphere. After exactly 6 hours, as planned, I stood up and started walking toward the public. Everyone ran away, escaping an actual confrontation.”

This piece revealed something terrible about humanity, similar to what Philip Zimbardo’s Stanford Prison Experiment or Stanley Milgram’s Obedience Experiment, both of which also proved how readily people will harm one another under unusual circumstances.” 

This performance showed just how easy it is to dehumanize a person who doesn’t fight back, and is particularly powerful because it defies what we think we know about ourselves. I’m certain the no one reading this believes the people around him/her capable of doing such things to another human being, but this performance proves otherwise.”


this is why performance art is important


So every single person who told me ‘ignore them they’ll go away’ and ‘you can’t let them know they bothered you’ and ‘They’ll stop if they don’t see you react’ and all that bull shit, my entire school career, I want you to look good and hard at this.

I want you to think about what you said.

What you keep saying.

What you are telling your children.

You are making them powerless.


Fuckin disturbing what gratifies many people. The administration was always trying to push that ignore them bullshit on me, I. was. not. having it. …Wow, I remember I once got physical with a girl, don’t remember anything other than being surprised that I was just supposed to let this evil person get away with some shit…I think even my dad condemned me for that altercation. …Just remembered, even when I was all religious, when I was going to Orthodox Jewish school - this rabbi couldn’t believe that pious Z__ shoved this dude over a desk. That I got violent “with another Jew” (fuckin racist freaks).

GOP Outreach Fail of the Day: Former RNC Florida State Director of Hispanic Outreach Quits the Republican Party And Becomes A Democrat
When Republicans appointed Pablo Pantoja to State Director of Florida Hispanic Outreach for the Republican National Committee, they hoped he would be able to bridge the sizable gap that only expanded during the 2012 elections, when the state’s 4.7 million Hispanic voters supported Barack Obama over Mitt Romney by a 20 percent margin.
But after months of inaction by Congressional Republicans on comprehensive immigration reform and stiff resistance by Republican-leaning groups like the Heritage Foundation, Pantoja has had enough; on Monday, he announced via email that he was leaving the party and registering as a Democrat:

Friend,
Yes, I have changed my political affiliation to the Democratic Party.
It doesn’t take much to see the culture of intolerance surrounding the Republican Party today. I have wondered before about the seemingly harsh undertones about immigrants and others. Look no further; a well-known organization recently confirms the intolerance of that which seems different or strange to them.

Pantoja goes on to specifically cite last week’s revelation — that an author of Heritage’s false report on the cost of the Gang of Eight’s immigration bill wrote a dissertation in which he suggested that Hispanics are at a permanent disadvantage because they have lower IQs — as the final straw in his political evolution.
Prior to assuming the role of state director, Pantoja served in the National Guard, doing multiple tours abroad in Kuwait and Iraq before returning to the states and getting involved in Republican politics. In 2010 he served as a field director in Florida during the midterm elections.
Republicans have for months tried to find ways to make inroads with the country’s growing hispanic population, especially in the swing state of Florida. Hispanics there turned out to vote at a rate of more than 62 percent in 2012, significantly higher than the national turnout rate of 48 percent and the highest rate of Hispanic turnout in the country.
