Protesting the protection of rapists by colleges. The "I've lost count" just... wow. I think I'm going to go puke up my poptart.

I'm glad to see at least four guys in that picture.

That being said, geez... colleges aren't supposed to learn from the Catholic church!

^ The above image makes me sad and angry at the same time. In the backdrop is the capitol building of Austin, Texas (the stronghold of the Texas state, and ironically the most socially liberal city in all of Texas, which also seats some of the most reactionary, regressive zealots in all the United States). I will now just think about how the Dems of my home state promised a lawsuit against the passing of one of the most restrictive anti-abortion (and anti-sex) bills in all the United States, and nothing happens. Just Planned Parenthood clinics closing, and nobody putting a stop to it. These men (and even a few women) who run this state all pass so many unjust laws and reject any bills and proposal remotely beneficial to our state in the name of Free-market Capitalism and in Jesus Christ's name always want their way, and nobody outside Texas gives a damn. No body wants to help us because everybody thinks we're a bunch of rednecks and hillbillies, all the negative stereotypes of the Bible Belt, which much is mostly true in the rural parts of these states, but what about the urban Texans, even urban Louisianans, Oklahomans, Arkansans, Mississippians, Alabamans, Georgians, Floridians and Tennesseans? The poor and alienated population of those states? Nobody fucking cares about them, and that's fucking bullshit.

Well about Oklahoma Madcat can vouch but everyone there is cuckoo.  Also the truth is in rural states they will have the power.

Get out while you still can!

^ I would. But I don't have any money or a job or anything to support myself in the life outside of Dodge.

Guess I'm going to have to kill myself (not really).

The sign on the right says (to the best of my knowledge): "I’m 17. The government says I don’t exist. Nazis say I should be killed. But I’m gonna live."

Well I was on Deviant Art and found a group dedicated to old school propaganda posters. I was hoping to find those funny fake ones done for thinks like Star Wars and whatever. Well there were a few of those, but the majority of it was real stuff, both good, bad, and somewhere in between. I'm gonna post the best I found here for your view pleasure. Link: http://propagandacenter.deviantart.com/

Warning, lots of large pictures.

Here's a couple joke posters I found.

I guess I'm a terrorist now for wanting to stockpile food and ammo, and buy a few more guns like AKs, Saiga 12s, FAL, AR-15, 870 shotgun, 1911, and more, and expand my already sizable knife collection. Hmm, now where'd I put that dang turban? What? It's what I do that interests me. Guess other hobbyists like train enthusiast also get labelled terrorists. Guess I should hide those train magazines too while I'm at it...

History is full of maniacs, my friend, men and women of intelect, highly perceptive individuals, who's brilliant minds know neither restraint nor taboo. Such notions are the devils we must slay for the edification of pony-kind. Even if said edification means violating the rules of decency, society, and rightousness itself.

I know, change is hard. Stay strong honey. Remember, it will end. It will end! We outside of Texas do care. Also, Texas has a rapidly-rising Hispanic population & Hispanics these days tend to mostly vote Democratic. You fight will not be in vain.

Not that I really want to start another trans debate, but aren't one's genitalia a defining trait of their gender?

Not necessarily.  As I have a dear friend that's actually intersex (in her case, she has breasts, a cock half the size of normal, one half-functioning ovary and a partially-formed womb), genitalia isn't always the best outward identifier.  A lot of folks hear her voice and assume male, but chromosomal structure actually landed her with what amounts to an XXY.
There is light and darkness in the world, to be sure.  However, there's no harm to be had in walking in the shade or shadows.

Besides which, genitalia are a defining trait of one's sex, not gender. As I understand it, gender is primarily a mental/emotional aspect.
