There’s a deal… $20 for $40 worth of used clothing from Housing Works Thrift Shops. I LOVE Thrifting (seriously the only things I buy new anymore is food…) and Housing Works proceeds go to a good cause - providing New York’s HIV/AIDS-afflicted homeless and low-income residents with lifesaving services.
BONUS TIP: Buy the Groupon through Ebates and get 3.0% back…

pro-choiceorfuckoff:
The girl had no legal access to abortion in Pennsylvania, where her parents must consent. This is the direct consequence of anti-choice zealots: taking away what dignity, respect, and alternatives left were left to a 13 year old who is being controlled, manipulated, and raped by someone more than twice her age. Way to go “pro-lifers”, what...

– I’m tired of fighting:
The whole thing is awesome, both posts. But I’m quoting this part because it’s extra-awesome. Al-Anon didn’t really do it for me, but the women who founded al-anon are heroes and the fact that they don’t get more respect is a symptom of a larger silence around women and...

sinidentidades:
Illegal being turned into a noun is by far the most ruthlessly effective way to dehumanize and demonize an entire group of people, which is why it is propagated by mass media and politicians to vilify these people as outsiders and aggressors of the state to justify the systematic abuse and exploitation these people are faced with on a daily basis.
