You know what, I’d really love it if media outlets (esp those with power, like Radio One etc) said “no, we’re not gonna give airtime/screentime to all these popular songs and shows with content that encourages rape culture and oppression. We don’t care if the song is at number one, nope, we’re not doing it”.
Or EVEN BETTER, if they just ignored them all in the first place so they wouldn’t even get popular.
And the world would be a much better place for it. Sigh.
"What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I’ve never gotten to do that before. I’ve always respected women. So we just wanted to turn it over on its head and make people go, Women and their bodies are beautiful. Men are always gonna want to follow them around."

Robin Thicke’s new song, “Blurred Lines,” is the number one song in the country right now. It is also very sickening because of its implication of rape and sexual harassment and its not-so-subtle promotion of rape culture (that he then seems to attribute to human nature—great). See more of what disturbing things Thicke had to say and read about some of the backlash on the Huffington Post. (via you-do-not-do)

Please don’t remove the artist’s caption/comment when you reblog a drawing/comic/etc.
I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but in my case the caption is often an addition to the joke, and if you take it away, you take away a part of my comic.

Booked my theory test eeeee.
Only two weeks away so now I have to start studying, ugh.
( a film a day) (slowly morphing into a film every half week or so due to crappy real world commitments)
Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind
Loads of reasons to love this film but let’s just firstly address the fact that on paper Michel Gondry should be an amazing film maker and I should love everything he does, in fact I love ESOTSM but not much else from his catalogue and in my defence I say these four words to you - The Science Of Sleep.
But seriously, this film, given it’s jumbled up order has the potential to be a real mess but thanks to Gondry and the cast anchoring a perfectly balanced depth of emotion right at the heart of the film it avoids this tragic fate.
In ESOTSM for once, I find Winslet to be pretty captivating and not just because of Clementine’s ever changing hair colour, Carrey is low key, poignant, understated and effortless….I am a huge non fan of the gurning slapstick Carrey but love him in this LOVE LOVE LOVE and lets face it what girl hasn’t wished some boy would say “I think your name’s magical” to them…ok ok I know too much to ask, after all my name only has a Z where there should be a S, borrrrrring. But a girl can dream, right?
Oh I so know what you mean - after I fell in love with ESOTSM I was all “oh I love Michel Gondry, the man is a genius”, and then… yeah. The Science of Sleep. Just… no.
Quick, messy graphic to explain a concept that seems obvious to me:
We shouldn’t be helping women because they’re related to someone else. We shouldn’t be helping women because someone else cares about them. We should be helping women because they are people.
We should be helping women for their own sake.
Why is that a hard concept for people to grasp?

A message from Prince Harry at the CHIME for Change concert. (x)
REASONS WHY I LOVE HIM TO DEATH.
Ok but this guy is a saint.
We hear about all the partying and stuff but in 2008, one of the soldiers in his battalion was being threatened by 6 other soldiers from another outfit for being openly gay. The soldier escaped and went back to duty when Harry saw him and demanded to know what happened and then was like “Right well I’m going to sort this out” and full on stomped over to the guys and threw a fit at them and solved the problem and those guys never bothered the soldier again and he did it all without violence.
FOUR FOR YOU P. HARRY YOU GO P. HARRY.
he also dressed up as a Nazi once so let’s not go flinging the term saint around willy nilly
He’s not a fucking saint. He sees nothing wrong with dressing up as a Nazi and also, fuck the monarchy. Ugh.

Ugh now I have such mixed feelings about this.
On the one hand, Jennifer Lawrence is a thin woman, and I definitely don’t think she should be given this platform as the spokesperson for people that are not skinny.
But then at the same time if she sees herself as being unskinny/a bit chubs then who am I to question that?
Idk. Maybe she doesn’t even want to be seen as this unskinny beacon. Who knows.

URGENT: today in Russia, a terrible bill passed in the Russian parliament’s lower house that censors all things considered “gay”. It’s our local partners’ worst nightmare and we need your help.
This vote comes off the back of two brutal anti-gay murders in Russia, and the trial of a major LGBT rights organisation today.
Tell world leaders to STOP the crackdown, add your name:
www.allout.org/russia-attacksREALLY IMPORTANT
This really is happening, and it’s scary as hell.
“Update June 12: the situation is worsening. Russia has just passed a new anti-gay law makes it illegal even to say the word “gay”. People in Russia standing up against the crackdown are urging All Out members to keep growing the petition to help draw the attention of world leaders and the media.”
spread this like the plague
The law allows gay foreigners to be detained for up to two weeks before being deported, as well. Go to visit Russia and reveal you’re gay, your accommodations might become courtesy of Vladimir Putin.
Woah shit. Someone at work, his partner’s brother lives in Russia. I dread to think what might happen if they went to visit him now. This is so fucked up (for the people who actually live there more than foreign visitors obviously).

There’s this guy I’ve seen on my bus a couple times now wearing this teeny tiny muscle vest (like seriously, it comes in to pretty much nothing at the back), and it irritates me because I know if a woman wore something that showed similar amounts of skin she’d be slut shamed and catcalled and all sorts of shit. And, like, I know it’s not this guy’s fault, and he can wear what he likes, but still. Just makes me mad y’know.
