this is not social work

The charges being brought against Chelsea Manning are unjust and the way she is being treated is inhumane and unconscionable. You can help by signing or sharing the petition created by Fight For The Future.

Women, if the soul of the nation is to be saved, I believe that you must become its soul.

Awesome infographic on ideal social media posting times from Sumall & LinkedIn. 

They may know that their family had problems, or that their family was dysfunctional, etc, but they may believe they were never abused.

folks this is how i’m feeling right now, and especially as a macro social worker i’m feeling some type of way like my university sold me a lie wrapped up in candy coated sugar fantasies of community organizing and program evaluation and inside was a black hole of student loans and skills i’m not even fucking using or is relevant in job posts i’m finding right now. 

Nobody’s dick is important enough to change any part of my identity

We’re so sorry for the inconvenience. We’re still here for you and so is our chat/text line if you have time sensitive questions.

HOWEVER, the police CAN search your phone without a warrant if given verbal consent and they AREN’T required to tell you that you can request that they get a warrant. It’s up to you to know your rights, so PLEASE PLEASE reblog this so we can spread the word!

I was watching the Stonewall Uprising documentary and the name Marsha P. Johnson was not mentioned once considering she was a leader of the 1969 Stonewall Riots. So I felt like posting these Polaroids of her taken by Andy Warhol to show remembrance of her as the significant trailblazer that she was in making the Stonewall Riots happen. It’ll be 46 years since the riots on June the 28th and 45 years since the first gay pride march took place in New York City as a result of the Stonewall Riots. Thank you Marsha. RIP. 

My favorite part: “ “I realize that things being what they are, probably the white middle-class part of the movement got reported more,” Steinem continued. “But if you look at the numbers and the very first poll of women thinking about responding on women’s issues, African-American women were twice as likely to support feminism and feminist issues as White women.”

LEARN SOMETHING TODAY.

“……And that’s exactly what the bosses want! They want us fighting over who has the bigger pile of crumbs so we don’t realize they made off with almost the whole damn cake. Why are you angry about fast food workers making two bucks more an hour when your CEO makes four hundred TIMES what you do? It’s in the bosses’ interests to keep your anger directed downward, at the poor people who are just trying to get by, like you, rather than at the rich assholes who consume almost everything we produce and give next to nothing for it….. The workers in NY *made* them. They fought for and won a living wage. So how incredibly petty and counterproductive is it to fuss that their pile of crumbs is bigger than ours? Put that energy elsewhere. Organize. Fight. Win.”
