The perversion that protecting human beings is seen as both antithetical to and secondary to protecting an abstract right to “keep and bear arms” is nationally toxic.

A Fistful of Sunshine: Where do we go from here?

fistfulofsunshine:

I know there are a bunch of THS students on Tumblr, and though I’ve never done this before, right now I’m speaking directly to each and every one of you.

The tragedy that has befallen our community affects us all whether or not we were close with Felicia.

She was my student, and over the past…

When we talk about people who spray-paint and break windows and start bonfires in the street and shove people and scream and run around,… let’s keep one thing in mind: they didn’t send anyone to the hospital, drive any seniors from their homes, spread despair and debt among the young, snatch food and medicine from the desperate, or destroy the global economy.

Battlefield 3 - “99 Problems” Gameplay Trailer

I’m confused. I feel like I landed in the middle of the Futurist art movement (anti-female, obsessed with war and technology). 

Who thought it would be a good idea to combine violent, male-centered, war-glorifying gaming with words that at least in this clipped context come off very anti-female… and then bother to bleep out the word “bitch” like you’re trying to be polite or something.

Help me understand this. WTF?

Violence, pepper spray mars Black Friday shopping

(Reuters) - “A shopper pepper-sprayed other bargain hunters and robbers shot at customers to steal their Black Friday purchases, marring the start of the U.S. holiday shopping season, according to authorities.”

Cripes, it’s getting harder to keep a straight face while I make my arguments for the potential of the human race. Deep breath. Yes. I still believe humans are products of the world in which they exist and are affected by it. Perhaps it even strengthens my arguments to consider just how fucked up this system has made us.
