I know that animal rights is an important and sensitive issue for many people, so while I appreciate your concern for animal safety I would like you to understand that I do very much care about ethical food options. I was a guest in another country, and the food I was asked to prepare was from a variety of animal sources. I would not have felt comfortable eating an animal that I knew wasn't raised to have the best life it could have had, and I'd like to make it clear that as I said in the notes of that poll, dogs were not raised or kept as pets in that country. They were seen the same way Americans might see squirrels or deer, and were usually considered pest animals. Raising them for meat gave them a much safer and longer life than letting them get sick or run as strays on the street where they often die very young or are hit by cars.

I am an anthropologist- and as an anthropologist I know that different cultures get their food from sources that socially my culture may have been taught to see as taboo. This is true of my culture as well- Americans eat things many other countries think are gross or bad or strange or just plain wrong. Dogs are cute- but we see them as cute because we come from cultures that raise dogs as pets. I know farmers who raise chickens as pets, and eat chicken. A dog is an animal, just like a cow or a frog or a person, and before we developed the technology we have now things ate us for food too. Human beings are animals too, and a part of the food web- and when I was living 4 hours out in the middle of the desert where there were no roads for miles, I ate what food there was to eat.

There's many floating around and not all are made equal. These are horse related charities that either focus on welfare or using horses for community service.

Horses of Gilli

The Compton Cowboys

A group of urban farmers and cowboys based in Compton who use horses and urban farming to uplift inner city communities.

Sacred Way Sanctuary

What does it take to make African mythology real? Everything we had. Over 70% of our Kickstarter Backers came from Tumblr. Thank you. Now it's yours.

i put them on my front door and anytime it opens they ring. that way if i think someone has broken in or i see someone who isn’t there i can think back to if the bells have rung, and if they haven’t i can assure myself it’s not real. obviously it’s not fool proof, like if you are prone to auditory hallucinations, but it has really helped me calm down in time to avoid major psychotic breaks. it’s a real lifesaver

Hi! Good question!

Enben is the plural of enban, the non-binary gendered equivalent of man/woman. It is derived from the term enby. I prefer to use it because enby was initially understood to be a term that referred to non-binary youth. Whilst not everyone uses it that way, I personally prefer to use enban to describe all non-binary people to both show enben that there is more vocabulary to describe ourselves, but also to subtly uninfantilise non-binary people. Enban is a more adult feeling option. It also helps popularise these terms so other enben as well as binary people are aware of nonbinary vocabulary.

*(Read: Assertive of our boundaries and stood firm on the fact that our identities are deserving of respect)

We should be allowed to make a sour face or take a cold tone with someone when they carelessly misgender us for the fifth time in a row despite multiple corrections. We should be allowed to complain about erasure and ask where our needs and experiences come into play when we hear people reinforcing binary normativity in their discussions of gender related issues. We should be allowed to be visibly/audibly angry with other trans people when they try to forcibly categorize us as fem or masc, or imply that our enbyness is a mere phase that will eventually lead to "real/full" (binary to binary) transition.

Cool, so you want natural fiber costumes with no/nuanced corset slander, people wearing colors, historical hairstyles, people wearing hats or headcoverings and long sleeves outside during the day, no potatoes or pumpkins in pre-columbian Europe, actors with textured skin and wrinkles, minimal makeup, consulting HEMA groups and weapons scholars for all the weapons and fight scenes, a good soundtrack that includes traditional instruments?

guys,

One of the only asexual activists is Yasmin Benoit, a Black woman. She has raised so much awareness for the community. She was the first asexual person to lead Pride in London, she started the #thisiswhatasexuallookslike movement and is THE leading voice for the community.

And you all will celebrate international asexuality day on April 6th but we wouldn't even have that if she hadn't cofounded it.
