Spotted: An extremely oppressed brown woman skating her way to Oppressedville.
Let me tell you about this oppressed girl though, she started her own international Hijab company online called Vela Scarves.
Marwa Atik was born and raised in the California to Syrian parents. Her passion for the veil (hijab), combined with her eye for fashion and design expertise, is apparent in her exclusive creations. Vela was born in 2009, when Marwa simply began incorporating her favorite accents, such as ruffles and zippers, into otherwise bland veils and advertising via word of mouth. Marwa also extended her creativity to designing actual techniques of how to wear the veils, based on their respective designs and style.
In 2010, Marwa and her sister, Tasneem Atik Sabri, partnered to officially launch their company and website to bring beautiful, elegant, and affordable veils to women globally.
Badass.
This is absolutely disgusting. The fact that things like this happen in 2013 is frustrating, and I quite frankly cannot stand the idea.
A Florida family says their 18-year-old daughter was charged with a felony and expelled from high school as a result of a consensual, same-sex relationship with another student.
Kaitlyn Hunt started dating a female classmate at the beginning of the school year when she was 17 and the girl she was dating was 15. According to an account posted to Facebook by Kaitlyn’s mother, in February, just after Kaitlyn turned 18, she was arrested on felony charges at the behest of her girlfriend’s parents. The specific crime was “sexual battery on a person 12-16 years old.”
Kaitlyn’s mother believes the charges were motivated by anti-gay animus:
They were out to destroy my daughter, they feel like my daughter “made” their daughter gay. They are bigoted, religious zeolites [sic] that see being gay as a sin and wrong, and they blame my daughter.
But Kaitlyn’s problems did not end there. Her girlfriends’s parents appealed to the school board and had her expelled from Sebastian River High School. Kaitlyn’s mom reports that the State Attorney, Brian Workman, has offered Kaitlyn a plea deal of “of two years house arrest and one year probation.” Kaitlyn has until next Friday to accept the plea deal or face a trial.
The family has started a petition calling on the state attorney to drop the charges against Kaitlyn.
When I was 10, I saw
my first episode of Law & Order, SVU
a woman screamed
and her pretty pink dress ripped
the scene cut to black but then
she sat in a station
hair mussed and mascara running
and she seemed broken
and empty
and that’s when I began to prepare
for the inevitable.
May fix a few things before posting it on DeviantArt
But for now, kurwa all this I’m off to bed ! /o/
okay too cute not to do
Wow I don’t normally comment on art but this is adorable c:
excuse you our porn is of the finest quality
“Lilo and Stitch” 2002
Deleted Scene
Lilo plays a trick on the tourists.
IF YOU LIVED HERE YOU’D UNDERSTAND
I desperately need to understand
WHY
WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY
Was this scene cut from the movie??!!
Fucking christ, do you know what this would have done? What this would have meant to SO MANY people?? The truth of this is devastating. And to think it almost found it’s way into a DISNEY film??
The inclusion of this scene alone would have made it the greatest animated feature the company ever produced. Easily. And if you think that’s hyperbolic clearly you don’t understand.
No, really, if anyone knows why this was cut PLEASE let me know.
It was clearly something the crew was very reluctant to get rid of if it made it all the way to rough-clean (and in a few scenes clean!), fully inbetweened animation. That is like, thousands and thousands of dollars and weeks (months?!) of labour. Maybe a reluctant producer decided they would alienate their white middle-class American audiences by making them feel “too guilty” and pressed them to drop it? It’s unfortunate, it’s one of the most honest accounts of racism in a Disney movie (which is why it’s believable that someone got uncomfortable and made a case to get it chopped)
Designing entertainment by committee for maximum marketability is probably the most heartbreaking process in Hollywood.
NO WAIT SHIT
I GET IT NOW
I GET WHY SHE WAS PHOTOGRAPHING TOURISTS AS A HOBBY
SHE WAS BEING FUCKING SATIRICAL AND OBJECTIFYING
IT’S NOT BECAUSE SHE’S A DUMB KID WITH A WEIRD HOBBY IT’S BECAUSE THEY DO THAT TO HER AND HER FRIENDS AND FAMILY LIKE SHE’S SOME KIND OF FUCKING THEME PARK CHARACTER AND SHE WANTS THEM TO KNOW HOW IT FEELS
HOLY FUCKING DICKS DISNEY WHY WOULD YOU CUT THIS

Okay, so, hearing that Yahoo has bought Tumblr, I decided to do a little more digging.
Apparently Tumblr was running out of money. This means that, if someone didn’t buy Tumblr, like Yahoo, Tumblr would be completely shut down. No more blogging. No more gifs. No more pictures. No more posts.
So, in light of that news, ask yourself, what would you prefer, Tumblr being completely shut down or Tumblr being kept open with the possibility of some changes being made?
According to this article, Tumblr will continue to be mostly independant, which means that the chances are that not a whole lot will change. There’s likely to be some integrating into the Yahoo main hub, which will include emails and messenger, but beyond that I imagine Tumblr will largely stay the same.
Also, the issue with advertisements. According to this article, the way that adverts are put into Tumblr is done in a way that we actually see very little of them, and the adverts are very targeted. This is why Yahoo doesn’t care about their advertisers and porn mixing. So, they’re not going to get rid of the porn either.
Lastly, you’re going to have to face the fact that Tumblr is now owned by Yahoo. I may be being blunt, but it’s true. Tumblr has been owned by Yahoo for 2 days now. You can’t change it, you can’t stop it, it’s too late. What I suggest is that you all wait, see what’s ACTUALLY going to happen rather than throwing around random speculation that has no basis in fact, and then, after any changes have been made (if there even will be any) decide if you want to keep using Tumblr or not. However, I’m 87% certain that it won’t be as bad as some of you seem to think it will be.Indeed, I’ll start complaining when the actual bad changes take place, if they do, till then I can’t exactly diss Yahoo for saving Tumblr.
With sources! Thank you!
