2015: glitch that basically let people fuck with post formatting and everything looked like this
2018: staff ignored the spambot problem for like years at this point and the app was removed from the app store as a result of the site being absolutely fucking laden with spambots, which finally motivated them to do something about it, resulting in a hastily made protocol to detect bots utterly failing and deleting half of the sites userbase
“On Friday, Victoria’s secret was out: the international retailer doesn’t support trans or plus-size people. VS’s chief marketing officer and executive vice president of public relations Ed Razek admitted to Vogue that they intentionally don’t have trans or plus-size models on the runway at their event.
“Shouldn’t you have transsexuals in the show? No. No, I don’t think we should,” Razek remarked during the interview. “Well, why not? Because the show is a fantasy.” It may be the fantasy of far-right conservatives that trans people don’t exist, especially after the Trump memo. However, in a country where nearly 3% of teens are trans or gender nonconforming and the average woman is size 16/18, the fantasy is just that — unreal, unnecessary, and exclusionary.
Following a long silence on the clearly anti-trans and anti–plus-size statements, Razek clumsily walked back on the comments: “To be clear, we absolutely would cast a transgender model for the show. We’ve had transgender models come to castings… and like many others, they didn’t make it…But it was never about gender. I admire and respect their journey to embrace who they really are.”
In response to their continued refusal to cast trans or plus-size models, here are eight lingerie and undergarment brands you can support that actually embrace our communities.
“The 70-year-old Razek, who is part of the casting team that chooses the models for each show, gave some bizarrely out-of-touch answers in the interview, lambasting critics as being “haters” who want too much diversity in the show and describing trans models as “transexuals.” He comes off as a complete joke and absolute asshole and is clearly the reason the company is stuck in 2005.”
In which boys at Buchanan High School in California wore dresses to school – and girls wore collared shirts and button-downs – to protest a change in the dress code that would tighten gender-based clothing restrictions.
To top it all off, no male students got in trouble for wearing dresses, whereas two girls were punished for wearing shirts that read “DRESS CODE SUCKS.” Keep up the good fight, y’all. Gender policing sucks. (via BuzzFeed)
Student activism at its best. Young folks recognize the absurdity in policing clothing.
hi there little update on my situation, i found somewhere to live and finally got a job last week. unfortunately it’s only part time for now so i’m still going to be struggling for a little while. they said they might start giving me more hours mid november but until then i still gotta eat and i don’t see how i’m going to pay for my phone bill and bus fare to get to work and stuff. I need at least 80$ just for the monthly bus/subway pass, and i’d like to get another 50$ to buy groceries next week. I spent pretty much the last of my money buying food for my dog
Yeah wrong….I mean if you dont think that hundreds of ethnic groups and tens of millions of people being whiped off the face of the earth and enslaved for the entirety of this countries history isnt a tragedy of that magnitude than…you’re a racist who doesnt know a thing about the history of peoples who are different than you.

Sometimes somebody says something so horribly wrong on the internet that you have no choice but to shut down your computer, and disengage for several hours, lest you blow a gasket in the right hemisphere of your brain!
Black people have been and still are experiencing genocide the world over. Its a slow genocide, sure, but anyone that can look at all the smaller genocides, oppressions, and other atrocities being committed upon Black people as a whole and NOT come to the conclusion that the endgoal is the complete destruction of all Black people is either a complete idiot or playing themselves.
