Calgary’s newest emergency: there is a train that is in danger of falling into a river. It is carrying a shipment of flamable liquid of some sort.

Calgary you need to stop having emergencies when we haven’t finished cleaning up the last one.

R.I.P. to all the men and boys who have been abused, assaulted, and killed but are only remembered when someone needs a tragic example to reason away the suffering of women.

I’m so sorry that misogynists only see you as tools to enforce oppression.

You deserve so much better than that.

“Simple Lakota verbs/phrases we use in our household. My daughter is 4 years old and is currently a student in the Lakota Language Nest here on Standing Rock. I’m amazed at how much she knows, but also at how hard it is to keep going to pushing ourselves to learn more everyday. Our goal is fluency.”  – Alayna Eagle Shield

don’t erase ableism

coolcrayons:

I just want to say that disabled/mentally ill/terminally ill queers can now have their spouse be their legal advocate and representative instead of an immediate family member who might treat them like shit because of queerness, etc. and they won’t be affected by HIPAA laws, so cool things for queer sick people

because sick queers deserve the same right to the support and advocacy from their partner

something people forget about sometimes with marriage rights, etc.
