about transableism...
my ramblings:
below is the link to an amazingly well-written article about transability, written by a disabled woman named Bethany Stevens…i commend her patience in even dealing with this subject, as i don’t know if i could do the same with someone who considers themselves to be “transethnic.”
Stevens raises a number of good points, especially regarding the way we tend to...

Psalm 46
1 God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. 2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, 3 though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.[c]
4 There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells. 5 God is within her,...

“Black and Third World people are expected to educate white people as to our humanity. Women are expected to educate men. Lesbians and gay men are expected to educate the heterosexual world. The oppressors maintain their position and evade their responsibility for their own actions. There is a constant drain of energy which might be better used in redefining ourselves and devising realistic...

Ah, world, what lessons you prepare for us, even in the leafless winter, even in the ashy city. I am thinking now of grief, and of getting past it; I feel my boots trying to leave the ground, I feel my heart pumping hard, I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable beautiful and afraid of nothing, as though I had wings.

STFU, Confederates: Hello, fellow white people! →
Yes…the below rant from STFU Conservatives…the need to feel disenfranchised and to create false disenfranchisement is common among white activists, I feel, and has been evident in many movements: anti-war, animal rights, lgbtq rights, conservative politics, environmentalism, etc.
Reminds me of Eric Hoffer’s discussion in his book, The True Believer: Thoughts On The Nature Of...

Louise Allison is one of many people who survived a real life horror. She was raped as a teenager by a family friend who made an effort to gain her trust. She says, “The perpetrator lets you know what they’re doing is ok or gets you to believe that what they’re doing is ok.”
Louise kept the secret and didn’t seek help. She went through all the emotions of feeling ashamed...

From TIME magazine online:
More than a dozen members of a varsity girls basketball team in Buffalo, New York have been suspended for participating in pre-game chants featuring a racial slur.

Written by Gene Marks, from Forbes Magazine…I would write a rebuttal to this, but is it even necessary? The simplicity of his presumptuousness is amazing…hopefully everyone can immediately see the fallacy of this ridiculously privileged nonsense.

“This is the defining issue of our time.” He...

Dear Fellow Christians: WTH!??!?!?!?!?
Dear Fellow Christians,
Why in God’s name would this even be a concern??? How can this even be a real question????????
Craziness like this stems from our association with the Conservatives. Their politics doesn’t equal God, okay? Legislation doesn’t equal holiness, okay? Jesus didn’t advocate for political agendas, okay? We aren’t supposed to take dictation...
