I swear to all that I hold dear, if I’m not compelled to give someone I care about ice cream via this method before I die I will be so upset.

after the feminist apocalypse, all clothing in stores will be grouped by “pockets” and “no pockets”
Hell that sounds like a good idea pre-apocalpyse.

Who says we’re an advanced society?
Who says we’re an advanced society?
Frankly the only reason I’m not surprised is men generally suck arse. We’re even worse in the particular since we’re capable of delusional self-esteem boosting ideas as “some other men.”

Some of my friends are avid donators to Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play charity. I know because they tweet their “achievements.” However I’ve never really liked Child’s Play. Because while being a child in a hospital sucks, giving them video games and lauding that effort as worthwhile rings hollow.
The gamer community is powerful. Enough to make waves and not always beneficently. I long since disassociated myself from them. Thankfully the internet isn’t wholly owned by them, another group comes to mind that I’m far happier to be with. As a nerd who sometimes fights world suck, I happily threw money at a decent cause.
Providing communities access to clean nearby water actually matters. It matters to the community getting water, it impacts the communities around them. First world problems pale to the life threatening conditions we are capable of altering through the smallest efforts from our privileged world.

Please don’t tell girls “The boy who’s picking on you actually just likes you”
Even if it’s true, you shouldn’t teach girls to respect that sort of affection.
And you should definitely not teach boys that expressing their attraction to women through violence and disrespect is ok.
THANK YOU

During my time in Ethiopia, I met many people who rely on health care outposts like the one seen in the bottom two pictures here. Through these outposts, children and families get vaccines, diagnoses, and treatment for diseases like diarrhea and pneumonia.
But most of these families, and most of their health care facilities, don’t have regular access to clean water. When I asked people about their greatest needs, almost all of them—from the Women’s Health Army volunteers to children—cited clean water first.
More than 45 million Ethiopians live without clean water. I spoke to women who walk miles every other day with heavy jerrycans to get drinking water for their families. The people I met explained how lack of clean water is a health problem, a financial problem, and a family problem.
