See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

Riese, academically speaking are “same-sex” and “same-gender” synonimous? Like if I am writing about ciswomen who have sex with ciswomen, what label should I use? HELP

child,
when i was in college
there was no such word
as “cisgender”
we all just wandered about
offending each other
all day
every day
forever

[that being said, in the case of ciswomen-on-ciswomen, unless one of them identifies as something other than female, it is both same-sex and same-gender. I THINK]

Ask Riese a brand new thing

Emotionally intense images of retired Philadelphia police captain Ray Lewis - who has joined the #OccupyWallStreet protests - being arrested by the NYPD.

Captain Lewis has been outspoken against the NYPD’s wrongful use of violence against peaceful protesters.

From what I have seen, Ray Lewis’ conduct defines honor, bravery, and dignity.

There is a media blackout on images of his participation in the protest, and on his arrest:

It’s proved impossible for me to get this shot of former Philadelphia Police Cpt. Ray Lewis being arrested, published anywhere.  I was adamantly rebuffed by the Philadelphia Inquirer, NYT, local NY papers, and Newsweek, before even looking at the photograph.  One of the only published photos of this paradoxical and intense event is located here at the NYC Observer:

Make this viral and they will come.

Ray Lewis gets 2 posts this morning, because this needs to be seen. I’m not even sure why, but this pair of photos made me cry hysterically.

oh my god. so much props to this man. this country has turned into utter fucking insanity.
