Adnascentia: I'm conflicted. →
newwavefeminism:
There is a lot of outrage at the fact that the GOP wants to redefine rape. I’m more outraged at the fact that they’re limiting access to abortion for the poor. I feel like that aspect of this entire situation is getting lost in the middle of all this internet activism….

Bullying in the 'Harry Potter' series: complied by...
From the Deathtocapslock community.

Doctor: When did you adopt?
My blonde Caucasian Mum: I'm sorry?
Doctor: (nods at me)
Mum: Oh, she's mine.
Doctor: (sighs) How old was she when you adopted her?
Mum: (impatiently) Her father's Japanese.
Doctor: I can see that, but WHEN did you adopt her?
Mum: Are you that daft?
Doctor: What?
Mum: Look, give me your pen and paper. I'll draw you a cartoon how her father and I made her. I promise I won't make it too smutty.
Mum and I in an examination room with a new doctor at our local health clinic when I was 11.
