One can become angry; that is easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose - that is not easy.

I’m sure you’ve already seen this, as it’s been floating around the internet for a few days now at the very least, but The Riot would just like to lend our voice to the praise for this campaign.
Thank you, world, for finally doing something that isn’t telling women to try not to get raped, but is in fact telling men not to rape.
Will always reblog.
You should never just read for ‘enjoyment.’ Read to make yourself smarter! Less judgmental. More apt to understand your friends’ insane behavior; or better yet, your own. Pick ‘hard books.’ Ones you have to concentrate on while reading. And for God’s sake, don’t let me ever hear you say, ‘I can’t read fiction. I only have time for the truth.’ Fiction is the truth, fool! Ever hear of ‘literature’? That means fiction, too, stupid.

Split into five parts on Youtube, “Mirrors of Privilege: Making Whiteness Visible” is a documentary that features white men and women who speak of their experiences and understanding of white privilege. A great documentary for those who are interested in social equality and anti-racism. Please take the time to watch, even if you still have feelings of defensiveness. I think at the very least, you’ll be introduced to challenging ideas that you can choose to accept or not. But at the very least, please engage with them.
The majestic grounds of the Lincoln Memorial belong to all Americans — even to egomaniacal talk-show hosts who profit handsomely from stoking fear, resentment and anger. So let me state clearly that Glenn Beck has every right to hold his absurdly titled “Restoring Honor” rally on Saturday. But the rest of us have every right to call the event what it is: an exercise in self-aggrandizement on a Napoleonic scale.

The Howard Stern show is on FIYAH today!
Howard’s on vacay so this week is a “Best of Sirius” week. I love the “Best of” stuff because I only started listening about three years ago so it’s all new to me.
Today’s episode:
- Richard gets a Brazilian
- Sal gets pranked after racist remarks
- Wilmer Valderama visits and talks only about the girls he’s dated
- Chris Rock (Chris Rock is always very, very funny.)
I was once “morally” opposed to Howard but I had never listened before coming to that position. My boyfriend was convinced I would love Howard so he bought me a Sirius radio and subscription. Boyfriend was right. I now love Howard so much that I listen almost all day, commute and 8 hours at my desk. And the show is a daily topic of conversation with my boyfriend, which is nice because we sometimes run out of things to talk about.
I still usually don’t listen to the stripper and porn actress interviews. Not because I’m “morally” opposed at all but because it usually comes off as sad and not very funny.
