Privilege (in the social justice world) is benefiting from the oppression of others.
So when we talk about cis privilege, I get confused.

Because I know that trans people experience oppression for not conforming to the gender that was assigned to them at birth.

This is not the feminism I know in my peers, but it definitely reminds me of the feminism of our parents.

Awake for the past 2 hours and it’s almost 6 AM. At least this unhealthy sleep cycle will make getting up for a 5:30 AM flight tomorrow easier.

All I need is time to go through the ol’ archives and I plan to do my part. It would be wonderful if anyone who has had access, or has access, to this sort of PDFs described im the campaign should share. (Particularly Classicists.) (via Facebook, January 14, 2013 at 11:36AM)

Because this is the only way prosecutors will learn:
not to misapply the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act when the basis of the indictment is an agreement between private parties, when the plain language of the agreement between which clearly countenances the conduct complained of, and one or more of the parties does not wish to sustain an action against the putative action;
not to sustain a...

The saddest news I've heard in a long time →
This guy led an inspired life and accomplished more good in 26 years than most people do in a lifetime, several times over. Were there any justice in this world, the D. Mass. U.S. Attorney would resign in disgrace, since a statement issued by his family and a blog post by an expert witness hired to review his case clearly indicate that (a) being under the threat of 35 years in prison and $1...

“And I’ve delivered lots of babies, and I know about these things. It is true. We tell infertile couples all the time that are having trouble conceiving because of the woman not ovulating, ‘Just relax. Drink a glass of wine. And don’t be so tense and uptight because all that adrenaline can cause you not to ovulate.’ So he was partially right wasn’t he? But the fact that a woman may have already...

Scientology exposé + long-form journalism = automatic reblog and addition to massive “To Read” pile.
longform:
A reporter who investigated Scientology tracks down the man who once ran the church’s intelligence operations – and who may hold the secret to years of harassment (and the mysterious death of a pet dog).
