Dress for Success: Affordable Plus-Size Workout Gear:

stfuconservatives:

I know it can be tough for bigger folks to find workout clothes. This article lists a bunch of stores (both online and at your local mall) where you can find reasonably-priced plus-size stuff to work out in.

-Jess

It’s nice to have a list of affordable places for plus sized workout gear, but does it have to be in an article focused on weight loss? Some people work out just for health reasons, not to lose weight.

I know what you mean. I’ve been thinking about starting a blog that is just focused on fitness for fitness’ sake, as opposed to weight loss. I would love to see more articles/blogs about how to incorporate exercise into your life and motivate yourself to work out WITHOUT any fat-shaming.

Brad Pitt’s taste in gowns leaves something to be desired, doesn’t it?

IDK, I really like the middle left one! And his legs look great in all of them.

I like his dresses.

This is the secret of propaganda: To totally saturate the person, whom the propaganda wants to lay hold of, with the ideas of the propaganda, without him even noticing that he is being saturated.

-Paul Watzlawick

Be careful what you watch, read, and listen to. Our sickness is our unwillingness to question the status quo or what everyone just “knows” to be “truth”. We believe everything we are told in popular media and our ignorance becomes the community psyche. History is filled with that which everyone just “knew” which we laugh at today and question how anyone would be so ignorant. And yet we walk through life today as zombies, believing what we see on tv, in the news, and in popular media. Question everything.

My bud SarahSpy just sent me this as very ‘yvynyl-y type fun’, and she’s right. The “Drawing Apparatus” by Robert Howsare uses two turntables to create geometric spirographs. Click thru to watch a vid of this baby in action.

Speaking of SarahSpy, she’s coming up on the 50th issue of Storychord - her excellent music + fiction + art online ‘zine. Celebrate with her at a free event at Housingworks Bookstore cafe in NYC, Monday, April 30, 7-9pm. Emperor X headlining, and there will be readings from past contributors. #recommended

Dear Followers,

I have been receiving a lot of messages as the one above. Apparently there is a person going around on tumblr, befriending members of the lgbt community who are not yet out to their parents. She then sends their parents letters outing them. (S)he pretends to want to be your pen pal or wants to send you a letter/gift via mail. (S)he will do anything to get your address. Please be careful. I’d really appreciate you guys reblogging this or making a similar post letting your friends/followers know. Just because that person’s blog was deleted doesn’t mean (s)he won’t come back.

what is even wrong with people

Who can’t love this guy?

also the story of heteronormative assimilation, whoops

^^^ Assimilation makes me grumpy.

yeaaaaaah uh i did not read it that way at all

I’m about to be real grumpy.

The same people who say shit like the above (not DTWPS) are some of the same people who piss and moan about how homophobic Black folks are.

And here’s a Black man, the president of the US speaking about the multiplicity of acceptance of gay folks, and y’all just have to nitpick?

Look, I get it, I’m as skeptical of homonormativity and everything as anyone else. Shit, I’m even more so, because I am Black and Trans* and there is no way for me to even begin to be represented by the HRC and their like. But, that said, I say come the fuck on. Have your ish about homonormativity, but acknowledge this is a big fucking deal, to have a man who has admitted he is making his own journey to acceptance come out and say that it’s important actually be accepting. Not tolerating, but accepting.

Sophie M Herold - The girl who was sending hate to the LGBTQ community.

Jealously, that’s all it is. She is jealous of all you awesome people, cause she cannot come to terms with herself or feel accepted. So all you beautiful gay, lesbian, bi, trans* and other people out there who have been personally victimized by Sophie, hold your head high and be proud of who you are, cause at least you have the guts to be you :)

ALL OF THIS EVIL AND HATRED AND BIGOTRY BECAUSE SHE’S FUCKING JEALOUS

I CAN’T

LMFAOOOO PSYCHOPATH IS PSYCHOPATHIC

Um…THIS is exactly why I think Rick Santorum and Michelle Bachman’s husband are both gay. No NON-Gay person sits around thinking about gay people all day.

The true sickness is the self loathing. The only problem is that THIS kind of self loathing could actually get someone killed.

For those that are not sure, I just got off the phone and with Jesus and he said he’s cool with gay people so you can all calm down now.

I took a look and I’m absolutely sickened. This is disgusting and I would like it if everyone would take a moment to report this user to policy@tumblr.com.

Send this in the email:

http://sophie-von-bayern.tumblr.com/post/19775732372/i-have-been-collecting-thousands

For:

Malicious Bigotry. Don’t actively promote violence or extreme hatred against individuals or groups, on the basis of race, ethnic origin, religion, disability, gender, age, veteran status, or sexual orientation. While we firmly believe that the best response to hateful speech is not censorship but more speech, we will take down malicious bigotry, as defined here.

Harm to Minors. Be thoughtful when posting anything involving a minor. Don’t post anything relating to minors that is sexually suggestive or violent. Don’t bully minors, even if you are one. Life as a teenager is hard enough without the fear, anguish, and isolation caused by online bullying.

Impersonation, Stalking, or Harassment. Treat the community the way you’d like to be treated. Don’t attempt to circumvent the Block feature. If you want to parody or ridicule a public figure (and who doesn’t?), don’t try to trick readers into thinking you are actually that public figure.

Privacy Violations. Don’t use Tumblr to deceptively obtain personal information. Don’t post content that violates anyone’s privacy, including personally identifying or confidential information like credit card numbers, social security numbers, unlisted contact information, or private photos of your ex’s junk (no matter how attractive).

This is fucking awful. Seriously. She even says “I only regret that I will probably never find out what happened to all these LGBTQ people.”

Maybe then she can live in blissful ignorance of all the people who she’s caused to be beaten up, to be thrown out of their homes, to lose their job, or fear for their lives.

Some people should be banned from the internet.

I know most of my followers dislike violence in all its forms, but if ever there was a person who deserved to be beaten to within an inch of her life…

>.< Peaceful blogger my fucking ass. What a waste of space. Reported her.

Reported the blogger. Horrified that they would do something like this. That’s fucking horrendous.

I already got a reply from Tumblr, they aren’t doing jack shit about it

Self Immolation Protests Rise in Tibet

Via the New York Times:

On March 3, a few days before the start of the spring semester, Tsering Kyi, 20, emerged from a public toilet at the town’s produce market, her wispy frame bound in gasoline-soaked blankets that had been encircled with wire, relatives and local residents said.

In a flash she was a heap of flames, her fist raised defiantly, before falling to the ground, residents said. She died at the scene.

Over the past year 29 Tibetans, seven of them in the last three weeks, have chosen a similarly agonizing, self-annihilating protest against Chinese policies. Of those, 22 have died…

…Tsering Kyi’s death has been widely publicized by Tibetan activist groups eager to draw attention to the self-immolations. The Chinese state news media, which has ignored most of the cases, reported that she was mentally unstable after hitting her head on a radiator. Her grades started to sag, the official Xinhua news agency said, “which put a lot of pressure on her and made her lose courage for life and study.”

In interviews, several Tibetan residents and relatives of Tsering Kyi’s contemptuously waved away such assertions. Instead, they were eager to discuss her devotion to her Tibetan heritage and the final moments of her life. When she emerged from the public toilets in flames, they said, the market’s Han Chinese vegetable sellers locked the front gate to prevent her from taking her protest to the street. No one, they claim, tried to douse the fire.

When the police arrived, they forced witnesses to remain inside the market and returned Tsering Kyi’s body to the bathroom. Then, after collecting everyone’s cellphones, they methodically went through the devices and deleted any photographs of the incident.
