Atheist Pinko Sluts Monthly: Bigotry On Display: Mississippi Students Protest Transgender Classmate
Students protested their trans classmate by wearing sweatpants and gym shorts.
In her senior year at South Panola High School in Batesville, Mississippi, one transgender student decided it was time for her to fully realize her gender identity and began…
I really hope the school took the opportunity to educate the students, rather than just punish them. I know it’s not their job, but still.
I don’t know who Melissa Harris-Perry is but I salute her for this.
She breaks down what is the Harlem Shake, cultural appropriation and why those crazy fun dance videos shouldn’t be called the Harlem Shake.

Uncovering the First, Fascinating Rulebook for Subway Sign Design
The 180-page binder, the key to the system’s iconic design choices, outlines a meticulous vision of signage intended not merely to look good — though it does — but to simplify navigation of the subterranean labyrinth. In its attention to passenger behavior, the manual goes above and beyond what most of us would term graphic design.
“The subway rider should be given only information at the point of decision,” proclaimed the designers. “Never before. Never after.”

Louis C.K. explains white privilege to America on Jay Leno, without actually saying “white privilege”.
this. this. ALL OF THIS.
DAMMIT THIS MAN’S A GENIUS. A GOTDAMNED GENIUS
I literally did a text post no more than 48 hours ago on how completely real and honest this man is.
Never really watched or listened before now.
He just gained a new fan!! He’s hilarious!I feel like Jay was trying to play off how uncomfortable he was the whole time and that made it all the more enjoyable. After that first F bomb, he was just like, “Oh dear…” And then he tried to change the subject, and Louis just went right back to it, so he had to overcompensate by laughing all hard nshit. LOL.
Ive always thought to myself that the mark of a good comedian is being able to take a story that is absolutely not funny and making you laugh at it without force. This was just a perfect example of that. If you didnt find the humor and truth in it, you probably were just reserved to your opinion regardless of what he might have had to say. and if thats the case…youre a dickhead.
Louis C.K. is an insufferable ass, but sometimes he makes a good point.

Exactly.
Imagine a wall full of circular holes, that circles can keep walking in and out of with no difficulty.
Now imagine that the triangles manage to get the resources together, after years of not being able to fit through the circle’s holes, to drill a single triangle space into the wall.
Now imagine that the circle — who previously supported the triangle’s efforts because they are well-rounded (har) and value equality — comes along and sees the construction project. But instead of being happy, they get angry.
“Well, I won’t be able to fit through your hole!!!!” the circle cries.
“I helped you get the drill!!!!” the circle shrieks.
“Make it fit me too!!!!” the circle demands.
The triangles, barely holding it together enough to get a triangle hole together, stare at the circle in confusion.
“You have all the holes you need,” the triangles explain. “This is for us. You don’t need to fit through our hole, too.”
“YOU’RE BEING UNEQUAL AND HURTING MY FEELINGS!” the circle wails. “I DON’T SUPPORT YOUR HOLE IF IT DOESN’T FIT ME TOO. GIVE ME MY DRILL BACK.”
“It’s not your drill, it’s our drill. You helped us get it, because you said you cared.”
“I ONLY CARED WHEN I THOUGHT YOU’D MAKE A HOLE EVERYONE COULD FIT THROUGH. YOU’RE PERPETUATING INEQUALITY!!!”
“Why is it up to us, the small group that has never been able to fit through the wall at all, to make a hole everyone can use? Why isn’t it up to you, the people who have been able to cross back and forth at will for years? We just want to see the other side; why are you yelling at us?”
“I DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN A CIRCLE, OMG. I’VE HAD TO WORK HARD ALL MY LIFE TOO. YOU’RE JUST BEING BIGOTED AGAINST ME BECAUSE OF SOMETHING I CAN’T CONTROL, JUST LIKE EVERYONE IS AGAINST YOU.”
“You are interfering with our project and asking us to comfort you while we’re trying to make progress. Please leave.”
“I’m going to tell everyone about this,” the circle warns. “Nobody will support you now.”
“Apparently nobody ever did,” the triangles sigh, getting back to work.
It’s kind of sad

You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance — you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.
