Will this be the year I explore my sexuality? The world may never know.
it’s really weird when people’s feminist analysis is making fun of men for not having a skin care routine… none of us should have a skin care routine babes
merely washing your face does not constitute a skin care routine and neither does using any particular product. this is not a post against either hygiene or “chemicals” and neither is it a post for some “natural alternative”. the skin care routine is ideological. as wearing clothes or pigments are not equivalent to either fashion or make up, no one product or act constitutes “skin care.” these things are inventions. they are words. they are not the things they describe but rather a morality that we prescribe to those things. the skin care routine is the expectation, the coercion, the judgement and punishment for failing to appropriately perform, as is make up, as is fashion. it is this i would do away with.

“This week’s raids included some with drug convictions or pending drug cases, the official said, with many eligible for deportation. The official said that in many of the cases, the illegal immigrant drug suspects had been allowed to go free by local judges and jails despite active ICE detainers.”
only some of the people arrested have pending cases or convictions - and how there are other people who were convicted but judged to be innocent - and none of that makes a difference to ICE, whose Boston area director only calls them “criminal aliens” in the same sentence that he refers to “the men and women of ICE”, humanizing his coworkers while dehumanizing the people they hunt.
All I gotta say is that Ochoa was the real MVP
OMG omg Mexico vs Sweden was a hell of a game, but Korea vs Germany holyshiiittttt! They scored twice kicking out Germany and having Mexico go through even though we lost 😭😭😭😭😭
That was a good game but damn, Korea played dirty
On this Memorial Day, my heart is not with the 85,000 Americans that have died in combat since the second world war. Don’t get me wrong, because their deaths are indeed tragic. Blinded by the thoughtless fervor of nationalism, they died in vain, accomplishing absolutely nothing other than generating profits for those who are in the business of war. They died for capitalism, and nothing else. They are not heroes, and they did not make a sacrifice. Their lives were thrown away needlessly.
My heart is with the people of Iraq. Before the US invasion of Iraq in 2003, do you know how many suicide attacks had occurred in Iraq? None. Since then there have been over 1,000,000 casualties, and the conflict rages on.
My heart is with the people of Afghanistan, where near 150,000 have died since the 2001 invasion.
My heart is with the people of Vietnam, who still suffer birth defects from the 19,000,000 gallons of Agent Orange our government dropped on their land.
My heart is with every single life tainted or destroyed by the imperialism of the United States of America.
No more war.

Daily reminder the united states army is a group of murderers who answer the beck and call of capital and imperialism, and by no means should they ever be respected, let alone seen as heroes.
