- Being an atheist does not erase privilege.
- This includes white privilege.
- This also includes cis privilege, CNDP privilege, and het privilege.
- Seriously, being an atheist does not erase your white privilege.

First, stop watching movies as ethnic people and start watching them as white people. There’s nothing that white people like more than seeing other white people in movies and on television. When you go to the movies with your ethnic “judgment” eyes, you miss my point. Watch as a white person, and suddenly your outrage turns to understanding and laughter.

“This contraception fight in particular was illuminating. It was like being in a time machine. Republicans in Congress were going so far as to say an employer should be able to have a say in the health care decisions of its female employees. And I’m always puzzled by this. This is a party that says it prides itself on being rabidly anti-regulation. These are folks who claim to believe in freedom from government interference and meddling. But it doesn’t seem to bother them when it comes to women’s health.
“Now we’ve got governors and legislatures across the river in Virginia, up the road in Pennsylvania, all across the country saying that women can’t be trusted to make your own decisions. They’re pushing and passing bills forcing women to get ultrasounds, even if they don’t want one. If you don’t like it, the governor of Pennsylvania said you can ‘close your eyes.’ It’s a quote.
“It’s appalling. It’s offensive. It’s out of touch. And when it comes to what’s going on out there, you’re not going to close your eyes. Women across America aren’t closing their eyes. As long as I’m President, I won’t either. The days of male politicians controlling the health care decisions of our wives and our mothers, and our daughters and our sisters, that needs to come to an end.”

Another Gay Teen Suicide Should Be a Wake-Up Call - News - GOOD (via lostbetweenthepages)
Children hear, and children listen. And more importantly, children mimic. What are we to expect from kids who bully, when politicians like Michele Bachman demonize gays at every opportunity? (She is quoted as saying “gays are part of Satan.”) … In Bachmann’s old school district in Minnesota, nine children, most of whom were gay or perceived as gay, have committed suicide in the past two years.
The writer said on Twitter that after Fairest he will no longer work for the publisher due to issues with its ethics.
“[It’s] less in their treatment of me than in their treatment of others and how they conduct their business in general,” he continued in response to a follower’s question.
ALSO, in 2011
Superman’s planned team-up with a Muslim superhero has been canceled at the last minute.
As part of the ‘Grounded’ storyline, the Man of Steel was originally intended to fight alongside the new character Sharif in Superman #712, which was released this week.
…
Roberson has expressed his disappointment at the move, explaining that the issue had been approved and had been written, illustrated and lettered.
“Unfortunately, when the issue was ready to be sent to the printer in the third week of May I was informed that the decision had been made not to print it,” he told Comics Alliance.
Legendary artist George Perez, who had produced a variant cover for the issue in memory of a friend, apologized for the cancellation on his Facebook page and expressed “consternation and disappointment” about the last minute move by DC.
oh DC comics, I am so close to being completely DONE with you. But yay! Chris Roberson.
unless they are her fellow Amazons because DC hates amazonsBecause she does her JOB.
Medusa was going to kill everyone? Beheaded her, no longer a problem. Went through hell to bring the only person she managed to kill on Diana’s watch back to life.
Ares tries to kill people. hainobye.
Max…
And that’s why she doesn’t make the big time and writers have a hard time with the villains. Because Wonder Woman gets shit done.
To defend her position, the author cited her intimate connections with people of colour and informed her critics that “acknowledging the differences between women in terms of race, religion and culture” was politically divisive. We know these to be common defensive responses from those in positions of privilege. And our response is as common: “Listen.”
As feminists from diverse backgrounds, we value challenging, difficult, and necessary conversations on patriarchal violence within all our communities. We also recognize the importance of having an honest discussion about how racial hierarchies, discrimination, and prejudice differently impact racialized communities (for example, as blacks, Muslims and/or black Muslims). What we do find deeply problematic, however, is the questioning of women’s choice to wear the niqab and the presumption that this decision is rooted in a “false consciousness.”

THE DANGEROUS LADIES: Today Smallville Season 11 #1 comes out and here’s why you need to buy it
Today the first digital copy of Smallville Season 11 goes on sale.
Do me a favor - buy this.
It’s $.99 and you have…
I cannot reiterate enough how dead-on-balls accurate these comments are. Superman is about Hope and Smallville, over the course of the series and especially in the last three seasons, proved that over and over again. It proved that strength is not limited to the physical, it proved that women have a voice in this genre, it proved that RELATIONSHIPS are key to a person’s well being, and it proved that heroes can love and it makes them stronger.And it proved that a smiling hero will make you jump and flail with tears in your eyes and hope in your heart.
Smallville’s Clark Kent was how you make a hero “relatable” and “human”. He got angry, he had a temper, he made mistakes, and he loved with all of his huge heart. He was far from perfect, but all of his flaws and the way he recognized those and still strived to become the type of hero that Earth needed only made him moreso the perfect hero. He wasn’t “the first”, but damn it he was “the best” of them all.
Seriously, this book is pre-reboot/pre-WONK, the era of Greg Rucka/Gail Simone/Jeph Loeb/Joe Kelly quality.
Reblogging because Natasha just said “dead on balls accurate.” LOL
I MISS THIS ERA SO MUCH “Seriously, this book is pre-reboot/pre-WONK, the era of Greg Rucka/Gail Simone/Jeph Loeb/Joe Kelly quality.”
