Satyamev Jayate – When Masculinity Harms Men
Month: October 2015
Not causing harm requires staying awake. Part of being awake is slowing down enough to notice what we say and do. The more we witness our emotional chain reactions and understand how they work, the easier it is to refrain. It becomes a way of life to stay awake, slow down, and notice.

Ole Miss student senate votes to remove all Confederate flags from campus
University of Mississippi students just voted to remove the state’s Confederate-themed flag from campus. While the decision is ultimately up to the university, the school’s official statement is promising.
I fucking love how pissed the guy with the long hair looks, like he’s about to drop that mic and personally snatch down flags. THAT is being an ally.
See how voluminous your hair can be when u are not a racist?
^^^The first thing I thought too tbh
I love how jolly, middle-class white folks are so willing to learn the latest hip-hop dance craze, like the whip, nae nae or the shmoney, but are too impatient and stubborn to educate themselves on white privilege and cultural appropriation.
The only moves you have are your sly dances around reality
No lies here.
FUUUUCK.
