I am Really Boring |
Jade. 22. London. Vegan. Sober. God Free. Feminist. Nerd. Roller Derby. Tea. Tattoos. Travel. My grand ambitions for life were to be an extra in a low budget horror film, and to be a 'dissatisfied customer' in a JML advert. Then I discovered Roller Derby. This is my boring life. |

Images like this hurt.
People who aren’t involved in the queer community may not know much about transgender issues and respect, and that’s okay. But things like the above are just ignorant.
People don’t have to be cis to be beautiful. She’s beautiful. She’s a transgirl. This image just basically says, “Think she’s cute? Joke’s on you, she’s not biologically female so you should question your sexuality.”
Transwomen are real women.
A change in policy: Twitter announced Thursday that it would begin restricting Tweets in certain countries, marking a policy shift for the social media platform that helped propel the popular uprisings recently sweeping across the Middle East.
“Starting today, we give ourselves the ability to reactively withhold content from users in a specific country while keeping it available in the rest of the world,” the Twitter blog said.

Not cool.
It’s scary when corporations start to censor people. It’s terrifying that the interest of the people is in direct conflict with the people in charge of corporations/government (what’s the difference now?). It really has become a class war and they are pulling out all the stops. By restricting our best means of organizing a revolution, they are sending a clear message. Do not revolt. This message only reinforces my beliefs, we are correct in revolting. All of us in every country! This is not right and it isn’t going to stop. People who think that we can just let things like this slide are sorely mistaken. If we let them censor our tweets, they censor our spirits and our minds. By censoring someone elses tweet, you are restricting information from entering my brain space and that is not ok with me.
Not at all.
Revolt with every action.

Project Unbreakable was created in October of 2011 by Grace Brown. Grace uses photography to help heal those who were sexually abused by asking them to write a quote from their attacker on a poster and photographing them holding the poster. Rape survivor and advocate for victims of sexual abuse, Yvonne Moss, describes the project as a way for victims to take the power back of the words that were once used against them.
A documentary by the BBC and RSPCA showing how breeding dogs to a ‘Pedigree Standard’ is encouraging deformity, disease and disability. It’s moving stuff. **Trigger Warning: Dogs in pain and distress, and surgery**
Please help prevent this in future by joining the Born To Suffer campaign. It takes 2 seconds and will make a huge difference if enough people sign.
“ The programme, Pedigree Dogs Exposed, says dogs suffering from genetic illness are not prevented from competing in dog shows and have gone on to win “best in breed”, despite their poor health.
It says physical traits required by the Kennel Club’s breed standards, such as short faces, wrinkling, screw-tails and dwarfism, have inherent health problems.
Other problems occur because of exaggerations bred into dogs by breeders trying to win rosettes, it adds.
The programme shows a prize-winning cavalier King Charles spaniel suffering from syringomyelia, a condition which occurs when a dog’s skull is too small for its brain.
It also features boxers suffering from epilepsy, pugs with breathing problems and bulldogs who are unable to mate or give birth unassisted.
It says deliberate mating of dogs which are close relatives is common practice and the Kennel Club registers dogs bred from mother-to-son and brother-to-sister matings.
Scientists at Imperial College, London, recently found that pugs in the UK are so inbred that although there are 10,000 of them, it is the equivalent of just 50 distinct individuals.
Steve Jones, professor of genetics at University College London, said: “People are carrying out breeding which would be first of all entirely illegal in humans and secondly is absolutely insane from the point of view of the health of the animals.
“In some breeds they are paying a terrible price in genetic disease.”
Many people still think pedigree dogs are healthy, quality animals that come from good breeding stock.
In fact, many pedigree dogs are vulnerable to unnecessary disease, disability, pain or behavioural problems. This is because they’re bred primarily for how they look rather than with health, welfare and temperament in mind.
If you agree that the health, welfare and temperament of dogs should be prioritised over their looks, please click through and join our campaign now.
