“If I could take all my parts with me when I go somewhere, and not have to say to...”

This. This. All of this.

In my experience, on tumblr, and in brief instances in real life…
Has only gone far enough to get the fat white body to be seen as desirable, acceptable and worthy. I see the same perpetuation of white privilege play out in the following ways:
-Even though I follow tons of fats and many of these are of color (its probably half) white fat people only reblog fat white...

"I guess you'd like to see the Big Tamale, huh?"
velocicrafter:
any man who says this to me better be talking about a literal tamale & it better be fucking ginormous or there will be issues
also they better be Latino or I will have definite questions as to why they think I’m interested in tamales. I mean, I am, but c’mon now… I’m also interested in sushi, bun (Vietnamese noodles), Pho, curry & just about every damn other tasty...
“when a white woman decides to kill her kids, does she say a gay man did it? Do...”
– Jukebox Jones (via zorascreation)
YES!!!!!
And it’s mostly white LGBT individuals who do this shit. “Gay is the New Black?” And Dan Savage with his racist bullshit attacking the black community after Prop 8 passed, trying to make it seem that the black community is more homophobic than anyone...

mehreenkasana:
Like any woman of color, I can’t simply give in to feminism completely. It is a Western ideology that does not mesh well with mine. It has its roots embedded in a history that not only had White men oppressing their own women but their women were equally involved in oppressing my indigenous people - men and women together. I refuse to obediently follow every postulate stated...

“Loteria” by Israel Cisneros
Loteria is a game played by Mexico’s lower class. The game is similar to bingo in that you have a card and you place beans on the spaces along the card as they are called. The difference is that these spaces are characters rather than numbers. These characters range from roses to drunks and often times are stated instead by riddles or stories to...

things to keep in mind when accepting a trip to the Caribbean with your bond trader brother and his friends:
there will be one guy who complains about EVERYTHING
there will be one guy who is super rich yet somehow never pays for anything
there will be one very loud and embarrassing asshole
there will be one dumb blonde who talks and talks but says nothing (and also never seems to...

Struggling US Cities Turn Off the Lights →
brushstrokes:
(Newser) – For a number of cities across the US, troubled local economies have led to dark times—literally. From Oregon to Illinois to California, struggling towns have found themselves forced to turn off, and often completely remove, local streetlights. And with winter shortening daylight hours, citizens are...
