You want a physicist to speak at your funeral. You want the physicist to talk to your grieving family about the conservation of energy, so they will understand that your energy has not died. You want the physicist to remind your sobbing mother about the first law of…

– Excerpt from Jeanette Winterson: Sexing the Cherry. pp. 121 - 123.
She wrote this in 1989, but Jeanette Winterson was way ahead of her time. Love this passage from Sexing the Cherry, an altogether wonderful, amazing book.

you thought I didn’t really notice. But I did. I wanted to high-five you. Yesterday I had a pair of brothers in my store. One was maybe between 15-17. He was a wrestler at the local high school. Kind of tall, stocky and handsome. He had a younger brother, who was maybe about 10-12 years old. The…

15 of the Deadliest Corporations →
liberationfrequency:
These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks. Human rights abuses, murder, war, eco disasters, and animal exploitation keep these evil companies raking in the green. Prepare to be disgusted.
I don’t think the list is in any particular order. Even if you don’t agree with all of them...

microaggressions:
My boyfriend (now ex) tells me a lot: Feminism has made you so unhappy. I think your problem is that you are too fixated on these grand issues of humanity, these huge human problems, and you need to get over it and get on with your every day life. I don’t get why you care so…

microaggressions:
When I handed in my class work in a simple folder instead of a proper art portfolio, my art professor harped on it for a good 5-10 minutes instead of grading my work, praising other students’ professionally made portfolios. I couldn’t get a proper portfolio because I spent all my money on other…

Save the World's Saddest Dolphins →
