Okay so this is pretty bleak. Egypt imports a whole lot of its food supply, and people living in urban areas acquire basically all their food through shopping, so there’s a whole complicated supply chain upon which everyone is relying, and that’s breaking down. This probably...

Rape isn’t a hypothetical question. Rape happens to real people every minute of the damn day. So instead of masturbating to the sound of my own voice, and telling everyone what I, as a great, compassionate feminist, consider to be sexual assault, I prefer to listen to the victims. IF SOMEONE FEELS VIOLATED, THAT SOMEONE HAS BEEN VIOLATED. Period. It’s not up to...

Eating disorders aren’t funny. It’s in no way shape or form appropriate to tell a person with an eating disorder to just “shut up and eat a sandwich” or shame them because of their illness.
Reblogging thinspiration to make fun of it is disgusting; think of how hurtful it is to the person suffering from that eating disorder. I’m sure...

Bodily autonomy tends to shift when you’re tattooed because people assume your body is available for public consumption and discussion. People absolutely will touch you without consent, something that seems to come as a surprise to people without tattoos when I talk about how people relate to me when my ink is readily visible. The routine violations of personal space most women are familiar with...

Hey, I’m not trying to get all Edward Said on the readership here, but I do have one small request: can we all agree to stop using European historical analogies to describe what is taking place in Egypt? It’s not Europe in 1848 or Eastern Europe in 1989 or France in 1789: it’s Egypt in...

On Thursday, April 4, 1968, the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. stepped out onto the balcony of a Memphis hotel and was killed by an assassin’s bullet.

Rebecca Burns’ new book, Burial for a King, begins that day in Atlanta, as the news passes...

See that “NO ASSHOLES” sign I just hung over the door? That’s retroactive.
