Openly gay Tongan athlete Amini Fonua issued a sharp condemnation on Thursday to a horribly irresponsible and exploitative Daily Beast story on athletes’ use of sex apps in Rio that might have outed gay athletes.

Remember when we said medical training is racist and sexist in itself because it treats white and male as the norm and then “anti-SJWs” threw a tantrum instead of looking it up? Welp, they’ve taken yet another L.
you could curse a police officer out, kick their car, throw a temper tantrum and throw trash. and that still doesnt mean they get to kill you. what the fuck is wrong with yall? why do you think police get some special license to kill when they get disrespected?
if they cant do their job without murdering unarmed people, they dont deserve their badge, or anyones respect.

"We think of men as antiheroes, as capable of occupying an intense and fascinating moral grey area; of being able to fall, and rise, and fall again, but still be worthy of love on some fundamental level, because if it was the world and its failings that broke them, then we surely must owe them some sympathy. But women aren’t allowed to be broken by the world; or if we are, it’s the breaking that makes us villains. Wronged women turn into avenging furies, inhuman and monstrous: once we cross to the dark side, we become adversaries to be defeated, not lost souls in need of mending. Which is what happens, when you let benevolent sexism invest you in the idea that women are humanity’s moral guardians and men its native renegades: because if female goodness is only ever an inherent quality – something we’re born both with and to be – then once lost, it must necessarily be lost forever, a severed limb we can’t regrow. Whereas male goodness, by virtue of being an acquired quality – something bestowed through the kindness of women, earned through right action or learned through struggle – can just as necessarily be gained and lost multiple times without being tarnished, like a jewel we might pawn in hardship, and later reclaim."
Look at your stories - don’t just count who gets to be the hero and the villain (what kind of hero? what kind of villain?); count who gets the redemption arcs.
“if you want to adopt kids at an older age, that’s just lazy and you’ll miss the important developmental years. you won’t be able to connect.” okay but consider this:
1. I will not be able to handle a baby, but I will definitely be able to manage and guide an older child
2. no diapers. hallelujah
3. As a foster child gets older, their chance of adoption plummets. Adopting an older child gives a late break to someone who would have otherwise had to age out of the system
4. my plans for adoption are none of your concern
PLEASE CONSIDER THIS.
“As a foster child gets older, their chance of adoption plummets. Adopting an older child gives a late break to someone who would have otherwise had to age out of the system”
I’m glad there are people that share this sentiment

“But we have to send a clear message that ‘Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean your child gets to stay.’ We don’t want to send a message that is contrary to our laws or encourage more children to make that dangerous journey.”
It seems like high time I pull out this article again
Advocating against psychiatric abuse is extremely difficult because as soon as I start talking about the human rights violations I endured in psych hospitals, people say shit like “Well, Cass obviously doesn’t know what they’re talking about if they’ve been in a psych hospital. They’re cr*zy.” The paradox of disability activism is that to fight against the institutional abuse you have experienced as a mentally ill/neurodivergent person, you have to disclose that you are mentally ill/neurodivergent, and that disclosure makes people inherently less likely to take you seriously.
Hi y’all! I need help. I’m a 22 year old African American lesbian struggling with an anxiety disorder (which makes it difficult for me to leave my home and interact with others) and depression. I’m also currently at risk of not having a place to stay. my current lease is up on August 1st (in 5 days) and I still don’t have anywhere to move to. I’m desperately searching for housing and while I have a few leads that I’m checking out later this week I don’t even have enough money to pay rent if I do find a place. I was originally paying my previous rent using money from my financial aid refund and student loans but during the past school year my gpa dropped too low and my school placed me on academic probation, effectively suspending my aid for fall semester. I’m currently still dealing with the appeal process in hopes of gaining my financial aid back. I’m just trying frantically at this point to figure out how to find a place and my girlfriend even came out to help me look and for emotional support but I really need help. The cheapest place that I’ve been able to find (that is still available) is a room in a 3 bedroom apartment that’s being subleased for $800 with $85 for utilities. If there’s any way you guys could donate so I could try to raise even a portion of the $885 I need to move in I would appreciate it so, so, so much. More than I can possibly say. There’s a donation button on my blog and my paypal is pecheepeach@gmail.com. I’m sorry to make donation posts and that’s why I’ve waited so late to do this, but I’m desperate. I’m literally willing to pay you back as soon as I either get my financial aid back or find work. I have $100 in my bank account right now and I’m also willing to screenshot that and show anyone who wants proof that I really, really need the help. Please share this! If all of my followers donated even 50 cents I would actually have more than enough for rent so if you all reblog hopefully I can raise at least some of what I need. Thank you all so much for your support and your patience with me, I love you guys and I really appreciate it!
hi everyone so i recently (and foolishly) felt i finally had the latitude to confront my parents about their ongoing abuse of me since their super messy separation three years ago. i can no longer really connect with either my mom or my dad on a personal level and I’m really distraught over this. i live with my mother and she and i are poor. my father is well off but extremely financially selfish and very difficult to handle when it comes to issues of money. my relationship with my father is currently extremely strained since he continues to misgender me three years into my transition. he also hit me on new years day after i got upset at my mom for her continued onslaught of emotional abuse towards me. my mom has chosen to spend her money primarily on her needs and my eldest brother’s needs, leaving me with very little room to ask for anything. my father and i aren’t really on speaking terms as of last night when i blew up at him about how he hit me and thinks i’m a man and told him to shut his mouth because he looked like a guppy (lol!!!). i made it to the third and last interview for a cosmetics job i applied for so hopefully soon i’ll have some source of income - the interview is this week
i hope that the above information explains why i am reopening my (mostly) makeup amazon wishlist. Inès has been so kind to me over the past many months and has sent and continues to send me amazing makeup. I used to be able to supplement what she sent me with a very tiny stipend i sporadically got from my mother, but she can no longer afford that. on top of everything i had an extreme dysphoric fit earlier today, bolstered by my feelings of aloneness since confronting both of my parents last night, and plucked pretty much half of one of my eyebrows off so i really need an eyebrow pencil more than anything rn. I’m gonna update my wishlist tonight and would so appreciate some support. thank-you for reading this and i wish you all the best sending you kind thoughts and warmth
