How to tell if "derp" is ableist
roxanneritchi:
onlytowardschaos | fuckthegenderpolice | fromonesurvivortoanother:
When you look it up, do you get images making fun of people with downs, people in wheelchairs, and other disabled individuals?
Do lots of people with disabilities insist over and over again that it’s ableist?
If you answered yes to both, then guess what? It’s ableist!
End of discussion.
It fucking boggles...

You know that's what they're scared of, right?
abaldwin360:
So, I just shared that article about how Louis CK made a million dollars in twelve days with DRM-free downloads.
Then, earlier this month, Universal had a video Megaupload owned taken off of youtube, then claimed that they couldn’t be sued for it.
I wonder how much of the million Louis CK would have seen had he gone though a label. I’m guessing they would have gotten a pretty big...

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012...
Michelle Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)
Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)
Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)
Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)
Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)
Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-in-law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)
Michelle Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)
Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)

Keeping Students From the Polls
Next fall, thousands of students on college campuses will attempt to register to vote and be turned away. Sorry, they will hear, you have an out-of-state driver’s license. Sorry, your college ID is not valid here. Sorry, we found out that you paid out-of-state tuition, so even though you do have a state driver’s license, you still can’t vote…

I’m not sure if it’s amusing or incredibly sad that this headline hasn’t made an appearance in a single one of my American news sources.
I really really wish I had a more articulate response than screams of rage.
Normally this shows up on snopes right before election day — but NAACP is actually taking the threat seriously now.
I am...
