my-feminism:

In the Netherlands, abortion is freely available on demand. Yet the Netherlands boasts the lowest abortion rate in the world, about 6 abortions per 1000 women per year, and the complication and death rates for abortion are miniscule. How do they do it? First of all, contraception is widely available and free — it’s covered by the national health insurance plan. Holland also carries out extensive public education on contraception, family planning, and sexuality. An ethic of personal responsibility for one’s sexual activity is strongly promoted. Of course, some people say that teaching kids about sex and contraception will only encourage them to have lots of sex. But Dutch teenagers tend to have less frequent sex, starting at an older age, than American teenagers, and the Dutch teenage pregnancy rate is 9 times lower than in the U.S.

I endorse evidence-based medicine, and evidence-based activism.

#SaveTheTrees

I feel like an important message is trying to be communicated to me but I have no idea what it is

Our forests are being cut down 3x faster than they can grow! One acre of hemp produces as much cellulose fiber pulp as 4.1 acres of trees!!! This is super useful for so many things, especially paper production! In addition, hemp takes in carbon dioxide 4x as fast as trees do, which makes it especially valuable in the act of reducing CO2 emissions/greenhouse gases! 🌲🌲🌲 source

#the scope of the anti-hemp conspiracy in the united states is terrifying once you start doing research tbh #like it was initially smeared/banned bc lumber lobbyists pushed for it to be…#and a major smear tactic was to associate it with black people #who now a hundred years later are the ones primarily being imprisoned for it #and the plant itself has now been inextricably linked to the drug so people won’t even allow for it to be grown for commercial purposes #like paper making (via literallyfuckeveryone)

Important reminder that industrial hemp can’t be used as a recreational drug, so if anyone tries to pull that card you can just stop them then and there. There are no real arguments against using industrial hemp, even if you’re rigidly against the legalization of any recreational drugs.

also, hemp can be used for a comfortable and breezy fabric, and requires WAY less water and fertilizer than cotton.

HET COUPLES ARE WELCOME AT PRIDE

darthdreamer98:

How many times do I have to say it?

Het. Couples. Are. Welcome. At. Pride.

If you are at a Pride event and see a het couple, consider the following:

1. One or both of them could be bisexual/pansexual/asexual/demisexual

2. One or both of them could be non-binary/gender-fluid/transgender/bigender

3. They could be a 100% heterosexual, cisgender couple who came to support their LGBTQIA+ friends/family.

So unless they are hurting people and disrupting the Pride event, leave them alone, and don’t be an asshole.

Het couples are welcome at Pride.

satire is “I’m going to take this concept to an extreme or absurd level in order to demonstrate how bizarre/nonsensical/illogical it is” and not “I said something bigoted but just kidding I didn’t really mean it hahaha”

Dang it I’ve written like 5000 words trying to explain this and I only needed this post to reblog

#i always remember that thing terry pratchett said #about how satire is meant to ridicule power #if you’re laughing at people who are hurting it’s not satire it’s bullying (tags via @vrabia)

Go out tomorrow, find a cause. NARAL, ASPCA, Planned Parenthood, A New Way Forward, The Innocence Project, Oxfam, Greenpeace… find out about programs and groups that deal with human trafficking, with racism, with sexism, with women’s health, LGBTQA rights, with what you want to fucking change! Sign up, and fucking fight.

Intern at your local congressional office! Stuff envelops! Listen to citizen complaints! Help dig us out of this shitstorm!

Donate money! Donate time! Be a Big Brother or a Big Sister. Reach out and find what your community needs! Join a litter collecting squad or write cards for people at an elderly community or buy a family in need groceries.

There is. So. Much. You. Can. Still. Do.

Online activism is all well and good, but these groups need feet on the fucking pavement. Don’t confuse shouting at people online as activism! So put up, and let’s shut this racist, classist, misogynistic, rape apologist down.

here is an extremely easy thing to do! the next time you buy pads or razors and you have enough money to buy an extra pack or a travel set of toothpaste / toothbrush, buy an extra one and donate it to a women’s shelter! or buy good socks or good underwear if you can afford it!
