For women, heart attacks look different. →

distractedbyshinyobjects:
Follow me down the rabbit hole for a second:
I’ve long wondered if this - that women don’t recognize the symptoms of a heart attack in themselves, and consequently don’t get the fast care that is vital for heart attack survival - is the reason heart disease is the #1 killer in women. Women statistically take better care of themselves health-wise, than men...

– Margaret Atwood
I am not the biggest fan of Atwood’s writing, particularly her novels. (Though I’ve enjoyed a number of her short stories.) However, good advice must be noted, regardless of who it comes from.

It really is horrifying
vuhnessah:
that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable.

People on facebook acknowledging their privilege and not getting upset or angry when they realize they’ve posting something transphobic when they’ve been called on it is really nice.

Incompetence: Just A Quick Note to Atheists (From... →
thefullmetalbitch:

This also includes cis privilege, CNDP privilege, and het privilege.
Seriously, being an atheist does not erase your white privilege.
Criticizing exclusively (majority) non-white religions is racist. This includes Islam.
The existence of white Muslims does not invalidate this point.

Rabble: How does The Pill work? →
themodelofhealthproject:
Regardless of your views on The Pill, I’m going to explain how it works. Even if you don’t believe in contraception, I think it’s important to understand what it is, how it works and more importantly, why it fails. I’ve been on it myself for quite some time now and I realized that I was sort of taking it with blind faith in it’s magical powers to prevent pregnancy....
Today I saw a boy reading a Raymond Chandler book at the café today. I wanted to talk to him so bad but I didn’t want to interrupt his reading.
