This scares me more than anything else I’ve heard in quite a while.An amendment that would legalize the use of propaganda on American audiences is being inserted into the latest defense authorization bill, BuzzFeed has learned.
The amendment would “strike the current ban on domestic dissemination” of propaganda material produced by the State…

and this one just makes me feel good about humanity.
“ The thing about patriarchy is that individual men, gay and straight, are often really wonderful people who you love deeply, but they have internalized some really poisonous shit. So every once in a while they say or do something that really shakes you because you’re no longer totally certain they see you as a human being, and you feel totally disempowered to explain that to them. ”

I wish I wish I wish I wish this wasn’t true. I had the incredible fortune in high school and college to know some amazing boys/men who were just as madly feminist as I am. I’ve known some since then, but mostly, I find myself spending time (and dating) amazing, wonderful men who occasionally say things that terrify me.

Immigration and Comics, 1880-1910 - no surprises here, 1 of 13 is positive. The one pictured above could pass for one today though, no?
Corporations don’t bleed.
Corporations don’t have children.
Corporations don’t die in war.
Corporations shouldn’t be running our democracy.
I might be okay with a war if instead of what I would generally call people, we drafted corporations and they died instead.
I really hope this is true…. incidentally, Katie attempted to teach the phrase “that’s what she said” to all of the Japanese-speakers at the bar last night.only they said- “said the actress to the bishop”
“This phrase derives from the fact that, during early English theater, actresses were poorly paid and often used prostitution to supplement their income. Because of these “loose morals”, clergymen spent a lot of time with these actresses… trying to get them to turn from their sinful ways. Thus, it was a common occurrence for actresses to confess their sexual sins to these clergymen (bishops). Somewhere along the line (and nobody knows exactly where or when), it became common then to say “as the actress said to the bishop” or alternatively “said the actress to the bishop” any time someone uttered a phrase that could be taken sexually, if viewed in the correct light.”
blew my mind.
