Recalled to Life: [tw: racism.] "Nigger." →

I am experiencing a type of anger I have never felt before.
I was called a nigger tonight.
I was standing on the balcony of an apartment party, alone and overlooking other apartment balconies. On the ground floor below me were two white men, one obviously drunk…

A Modern Sexual-Assault Tale
Man: Hello, I'd like to report a mugging.
Officer: A mugging, eh? Where did it take place?
Man: I was walking by 21st and Dundritch Street and a man pulled out a gun and said, "Give me all your money."
Officer: And did you?
Man: Yes, I co-operated.
Officer: So you willingly gave the man your money without fighting back, calling for help or trying to escape?
Man: Well, yes, but I was terrified. I thought he was going to kill me!
Officer: Mmm. But you did co-operate with him. And I've been informed that you're quite a philanthropist, too.
Man: I give to charity, yes.
Officer: So you like to give money away. You make a habit of giving money away.
Man: What does that have to do with this situation?
Officer: You knowingly walked down Dundritch Street in your suit when everyone knows you like to give away money, and then you didn't fight back. It sounds like you gave money to someone, but now you're having after-donation regret. Tell me, do you really want to ruin his life because of your mistake?
Man: This is ridiculous!
Officer: This is a rape analogy. This is what women face every single day when they try to bring their rapists to justice.
Man: Fuck the patriarchy.
Officer: Word.

bitterstorms said: The Picture of Dorian Gray is a nice one, or there’s always the bible
The bible, you gotta be kidding me. I was thinking more along the lines of something easy and enjoyable, like Kerouac or Vonnegut or something…
Saying that, I still need to read Dorian Gray. I also have a bunch of Charles Dickens books I’ve been hoarding in my room which are still...

I'm bored of people
It’s easier to pretend to be informed, than it is to actually read and become informed.
I’m probably guilty.

i found a reason: Anarchy™ →
ifoundareason:
I keep seeing people talking about anarchy “without adjectives” as an attempt to focus on the abolishment of government alone, so that the differences between the various ideals can be avoided and the number of “just anarchists” grows. Well, that’s so naïve and so wrong that I’m starting to think…
