ain't safe for work, nope.
beatonna: Last night I was emailed some porn that someone drew of me because I said a thing on the internet that they disagreed with.  Because, there you go, ‘justice.’  When stuff like that comes your way you don’t usually say anything because who gives a fuck, but oh well, let’s do it anyway.  So, I’ve seen that shit before because I’ve been on the internet for 100 years, but it always looks...

NPR's Top 10 Reasons Why the BMI is Bogus
velocicrafter: masteradept: adamangasaurus: darkjez: yourhealthista: [Ed. Note: I think it’s okay to use BMI as a ballpark for a target healthy weight range, but it should never be the ONLY factor in determing a goal/healthy weight.] 1. The person who dreamed up the BMI said explicitly that it could not and should not be used to indicate the level of fatness in an individual. The BMI...

Consent
deltumbles: lets-blog-about-sex-baby: Consent is one of the single most important aspect of any relationship, especially one that is sexual or might become sexual. The biggest thing to remember about consent is that it is not ongoing, meaning that a partner may give consent at one point, and then remove that consent at another. Consent is not given automatically simply because one has given it...

ideadeliria: (snipped) NO. NO NO NO NO NO. Okay… maybe. I’ll see how they handle it. I gotta admit I think not too often about Hale, and it’s sorta like, he has the ability to be much cooler than he ever really gets to be. (Yes, I’m on episode S2E15 which shows you just how much of a problem I have.) »WHAT. Why no?? Well, I’m not there yet, so maybe it is grand, but...

[TW rape culture]
stfurapeculture: anon asked: your thoughts on the chris brown & rihanna songs that have just come out? If you care about rape culture and supporting survivors, you do not judge any survivor for the way they handle their abuse. That’s just how it is. So my thoughts are that Rihanna was a victim of a very serious assault, and however she wishes to deal with her abuser is her own business. ...
