So this story I’m about to tell you would be soo much cooler if I had a screen shot thingie on my computer but I guess I’ll just have to live in the dark ages and use my descriptive terms.
(trigger warning; racism, religion)
So on my facebook a friends father (close friend, which makes it worse and ups my anxiety) posted a picture of group of Muslims kneeling with their foreheads to...

Dying. Dying. Dying.
Last night my dad’s wife taught me how to make cookies in her secret special way. They were delicious but they involved using real flour -of course. I only had one. But then I had one this morning.
And now I literally feel like I’m drowning in my own body. I. Feel. So. Sick. I can’t breathe, my nose feels like its inflamed shut and my throat is all tight...

I, exhausted from a day that was too long, and a week that was even longer, pull on his shirt hem and we crawl into bed. Kitty follows close behind, her paws rapidly pattering across the wood floor and pressing heavily into my breast bone. Before long we all three of us assume our positions. Marcos on his back, I on his shoulder, and Kitty on his tummy. It is the best, most cozy, most safe place...

– Margo Maine, Ph.D. (Body Wars)
There was a time that, as a person of the male persuasion, seeing this quote made me really mad. It made me mad that women would assume that I was a rapist; it made me mad that rape was becoming ‘my problem’; it made me mad because, frankly, I didn’t think it was...

Dear fellow white people,
yummydick:
Things we should internalize about racism:
We can be “nice,” “smart,” “compassionate,” “caring” and racist at the same time. None of these are mutually exclusive.
It doesn’t matter if we didn’t mean to be racist. Intentions don’t matter. Actions & consequences do.
Just because we “don’t hate people of color” doesn’t mean we’re not racist. Racism is subtle, sub-conscious, and...

Yesterday I was told by someone very close to me whom I love dearly that I should loose weight. Now, to be fair, it was said in an attempt (however misguided) to encourage me, set me on a path towards happiness. “You’re so unhappy”, and the look of concern in this persons eyes was rather obvious. I knew right away they weren’t being mean or nasty… it wasn’t a...

I wandered through the dying garden, fruit rotting on the sagging branches. Save but for a few winter roses reached for the sunlight, most everything was dying, choked off by soil that needed a turn. I told myself, its only winter, its only the cold. But I realized now how long it had been since I really went out to my grandfathers house… I think I’d only been three times since my...

Just because someone else wants to loose weight doesn’t mean I have to, nor does it mean they think I should.
Lets find a way to condense this down into an easy to repeat mantra so that I don’t forget it in this time of cookies and Tamales.
Oh yeah, my mother in law is going to teach me how to make Tamales tomorrow, the regular kind and the pineapple kind:-)

latinosexuality:
