I cannot stress how fucking important this is. If you haven’t been paying attention to the news, please start. This is happening, and it is fucking terrifying. Anti-abortion activists are crazy and have no qualms about doing really destructive shit to prove a point. And seeing as I now spend 20-30 hours a week at a potential target…yeah, this shit is important. Sign this petition, share it, reblog it, etc. 

This is why feminism is important. Because this shit is happening.

AHH! Alice and Lucy would be proud.

Governor, this bill places restrictions on women’s reproductive freedom, and reduces us to criminal status. The bill restricts the doctor providing services to women, and places the doctor in legal jeopardy for practicing medicine as they are licensed to do. Women are more than concerned, we are furious.

Do I think this will really do anything? No, probably not. But at least we can let him know that we’re upset. This bill is absolutely terrifying and we need to do anything we can to make our voices heard. This isn’t about abortion, this is about right wing extremist politicians building their careers at our expense. 

Please sign, please reblog (even if you aren’t from Georgia!)

also can we please talk about how great the phrase “hey hey mister mister, keep your laws off my sister” is? definitely my favorite chant. that shit is going on patch or something.

“Rep. Ralph Long, D-Atlanta, answers “yes, ” when asked if he’ll vote for women’s rights as protestors walk around the state capitol.”

Hey everyone! If you are in/around Atlanta on Monday the 12th, PLEASE try to come to this event!!!

hey, feminists:

what are some of your favorite documentaries/movies based on real events regarding global feminist issues? we’re doing a film series at my school and i am open to any/all suggestions please and thank you :)

Have you all seen these commercials? They’re like “What will you gain when you lose weight?” and offers all of these great adjectives like sassy, confident, etc.

I’m actually a pretty big fan of Special K cereals. Not because they apparently help you lose weight but because the cinnamon pecan flavor is delicious. But these commercials are really rubbing me the wrong way. Are they implying that by losing weight, I will gain a more positive trait? I can’t be fat AND sassy? Or fat AND confident? I just don’t really get it. Does anyone have thoughts on this subject? I’d love to hear them.
