Announcement: I Love James Patterson novels.
I’ve read only one before and I can’t remember the title but I LOVED it and knew it would be the only adult author I’d want to read lol.
I prefer young adult literature honestly. I’m a teenager at literary heart.

Can a pain relieving drug work on psychological...
thisisnotpsychology:
It is interesting that people use the language of pain to talk about social pain. We talk about the pain of a breakup. Musicians sing about their heart aching for someone they miss. When people recall being teased as a child, they invariably talk about how much it hurt.
Is this just a metaphor?
This question was examined in a clever paper by Nathan Dewall, Dianne Tice, Roy...

Let me Tell Ya'll About White Privilege Real Quick
I’m at work (I work at my campus library) talking to my friend about Black Student Union related business. I also have the Black Student Union logo on my computer BIG as hell so anyone behind me can clearly see.
This white woman walks past the desk, then stops and comes back and says “When I went to DePaul people didn’t have their friends hanging around their jobs,...
kirasawqc-deactivated20111027 asked: Hi, I'm a bisexual male thinking about potential majors for University and I have an extreme interest in researching gender and heterosexism, particularly how women can dress like tom boys but if men dressed like women they'd be risking their lives, and how men aren't allowed to show emotions other than rage, etc. I was wondering if in Women's and Gender Studies these topics...
STOP These Horrible Billboards in Los Angeles →
sarahinneverland:
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO DO THIS! Ask Jeff McCuen of CBS Outdoor to remove the racist billboards from our community. As we have seen from recent media coverage, they are linked to a right-wing national campaign to completely eliminate a woman’s right to choose – and of course, starting with women of color.
The billboards have been intentionally placed along corridors in...

Rape culture is telling girls and women to be careful about what you wear, how you wear it, how you carry yourself, where you walk, when you walk there, with whom you walk, whom you trust, what you do, where you do it, with whom you do it, what you drink, how much you drink, whether you make eye…
Days Like This: On Being Vulnerable →
buginmymargarita:
“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in…

Seriously, everyone is more concerned with Justin Beiber and ‘Lil Wayne than real issues.
Everyone thinks they’re fat and ugly and they’d rather die than grow a pair and live life.
Rap music, cussing like a sailor, tattoos, odd piercings, and wearing skanky clothes are what makes you cool.
In a generation full of opinions, if you can’t...

Greg Palast's alternate ending to Deathly Hallows →
erictheperson:
So this guy claims that his “friend” JK Rowling confided in him this altarnate ending to Deathly Hallows. And it’s the worst thing I’ve ever read. Like… worse than Stephanie Meyer.
Well, at least we can all delight in the fact that this guy’s career was probably destroyed by his desperate grab for attention with this shitty piece of fan fiction.
that was awful!
