"No, not that rape, just RAPE rape" - The... →
This has been all over Tumblr, so I’ll be surprised if anyone hasn’t heard about it, but this is the latest bullshit coming from the anti-woman Congress. The GOP is seeking to limit the definition of rape so that only certain types of rape will qualify for taxpayer funds for abortion. Nevermind, of course, that this undermines the already constantly under fire. Nevermind, of course,...

Call your representatives today
rabbleprochoice: Tell them that ALL rape is forcible. If you have a daughter, a sister, a mother, an aunt, a girlfriend, please call your representatives to remind them just WHAT this redefinition of rape will mean for them. Saying “no” will not be enough, under this new redefinition, to give them BASIC CARE to help pay for their abortions.  Do some research on your representatives and appeal...

REALLY URGENT petition for Ugandan lesbian Brenda
Please sign this letter to Theresa May calling for a halt to the deportation of Brenda Namigadde from the UK back to Uganda, which will be happening TODAY OR TOMORROW. With David Bahati, the Ugandan politician and author of the notorious “Kill the Gays” legislation, taking an interest in her case, Brenda faces clear and present danger if she’s forced to return.

thefloatingopera asked: What do you think about the phrase "raping the Earth" when referring to exploitation of natural resources and such? I don't find it a problem on the level of using the word to describe poor test performance or getting killed in a video game, since it's using the word to describe something gravely unacceptable, but it's still appropriation of the term.
