“What else is love but understanding and rejoicing in the fact that another...”
– Friedrich Nietzsche (via pandacake)
Just attempted to watch the Social Network
Couldn’t bring myself to finish it.
The dialogue was so bad it was like I was watching an episode of Gilmore Girls.

As terrifying as the things going on in Egypt...
And they won’t stop in Egypt. As the human race continues to consume at a non-sustainable rate, as we race towards the last reserves of non-renewable energy, and we continue to drive dozens of species extinct each day, we are heading to a point in time in which the governments will have to make a decision. Things we take for granted - energy, food, and transportation - will become a luxury...

I want to read a book by Albert Camus
Any suggestions on which I should read first?

As you begin reading this interview, take a look at the nearest clock. Now, dig this: Since yesterday at the same exact time, 200,000 acres of rainforest have been destroyed, over 100 plant and animal species have gone extinct, 13 million tons of toxic chemicals were released across the globe, and 29,158 children under the age of five died from preventable causes.
Worst of all, there’s...

Don't tell me what the state of the union is
I can see it on the corner of the sidewalk when I pass by the grocery store, in the eyes of a victim of sexual assault, in the laughter of my classmates in response to a homophobic slur, and in the ableist pity the motivational speaker that comes to our chapel expresses in response to the video of a child with cerebral palsy they are showing to make everyone in the audience feel better about their...

– If Sarah Palin Were Black (via azspot)
Just goes to show how far Palin’s whiteness can take her. Zero intellect, two high school drop-outs, an unwed teen mother, a quitter of the one major job she had. Master of hateful coded language targeting opponents as not “real Americans”. Belongs to a church...

anellaluciax: It Sickens Me. →
lifeonfiction:
autumndae:
That people in a community focusing on changing the world, making rights equal for everyone, and breaking down barriers, can be fucked up enough to essentially bully someone into changing their entire blog and writing focus.
I’m sick of this male feminist hate that is flying around.
I’m sick of this “men are too privileged to know what we are going through and...

Anonymous asked: opinion on the Globes? :)
I've never even watched the Social Network
Nothing could disinterest me more than a movie about how someone made the social networking site that disinterests me the most.

How Society Distorts Our Empathy: Humans v....
(Political opinions aside, both experiments are very interesting and well worth a read no matter what you believe)
One would assume that, compared to monkeys, humans have far greater empathy for the fellow members of their species. After all, we have government and civilization and order and law. Monkeys live in anarchy, survival of the fittest. Read though the below experiments, which analyzed...

The Ways We Excuse Sexual Assault →

Click through for the commentary about “Denim Day” and their “No Excuses” campaign.
#1 SHE WAS WEARING TIGHT JEANS:
In 1999, the Italian High Court overturned a rape conviction because the victim was wearing tight jeans at the time of the assault. The justices stated that the victim must have helped her attacker remove her jeans, from which they inferred consent. People all around...

The term "limited government" is a joke
The only limitations any government will recognize in the long run are the ones they place on their subjects.
