If I could do a mash up of history and sociology as some sort of course of study, then that would be ace. That if if I ever get off my ass and actually attempt going back to school.

Nothing’s been the same since New York. I experience things and then they’re over, I can’t sleep and when I do I have nightmares. Honestly, there is a hundred people who want to kill me. I just hope I can protect the one thing I can’t live without.

17 year old white anti-sj tumblr blogger: that is complete bullshit just to make white people look bad. you all always make this shit up to seem more oppressed. you're oppressing yourself. now i'm going to talk about this even though i actually have no clue what i'm talking about, never been exposed to the history of this and don't know anything about the present experiences as a result of implications of historical racism *rabbles on about bullshit for 5 years never backing down from uninformed stance refusing to learn anything*

“

I just noticed something strange on Wikipedia. It appears that gradually, over time, editors have begun the process of moving women, one by one, alphabetically, from the “American Novelists” category to the “American Women Novelists” subcategory. So far, female authors whose last names begin with A or B have been most affected, although many others have, too.

The intention appears to be to create a list of “American Novelists” on Wikipedia that is made up almost entirely of men. The category lists 3,837 authors, and the first few hundred of them are mainly men. The explanation at the top of the page is that the list of “American Novelists” is too long, and therefore the novelists have to be put in subcategories whenever possible.

Too bad there isn’t a subcategory for “American Men Novelists.”

”

- Wikipedia’s sexism toward female novelists (via explore-blog)

IMPORTANT UPDATE the author, Amanda Filipacchi, from Sunday:

“In an Op-Ed article I wrote, published on The New York Times’s Web site on Wednesday, I suggested it was too bad that there wasn’t a subcategory for “American Men Novelists.” And what do you know; shortly after, a new subcategory called exactly that appeared.

But there was more. Much more. As soon as the Op-Ed article appeared, unhappy Wikipedia editors pounced on my Wikipedia page and started making alterations to it, erasing as much as they possibly could without (I assume) technically breaking the rules. They removed the links to outside sources, like interviews of me and reviews of my novels. Not surprisingly, they also removed the link to the Op-Ed article. At the same time, they put up a banner at the top of my page saying the page needed “additional citations for verifications.” Too bad they’d just taken out the useful sources.

In 24 hours, there were 22 changes to my page. Before that, there had been 22 changes in four years. Thursday night, a kind soul went in there and put back the deleted sources. The Wiki editors instantly took them out again.”

much-too-troublesome:

fatalismulier:

I wish people would learn the difference between “OMG I want to live in the 50’s!! I was born in the wrong era!!”

And “I appreciate the vintage aesthetic and wish it was easy and commonplace to adopt that kind of style in today’s world.”

Because, as much as I love pompadours and winged eyeliner, I also love having rights.

I have been waiting all my tumblr life for this to appear on my dash
