According to Yahoo, tumblr is worth $1.1 billion. According to tumblr, there are 108 million blogs on tumblr.

That means that each blog, on average, is worth about ten dollars and 18.5 cents.

Congratulations, your blog is worth less than a large one topping pizza at Pizza Hut.

hahahahaha this post gets all the awards… Oh well, so much for our egos!

The secret behind the ad’s wizardry is a lenticular top layer, which shows different images at varying angles. So when an adult—or anyone taller than four feet, five inches—looks at it they only see the image of a sad child and the message: “sometimes, child abuse is only visible to the child suffering it.” But when a child looks at the ad, they see bruises on the boy’s face and a different message: “if somebody hurts you, phone us and we’ll help you” alongside the foundation’s phone number. The ad is designed to empower kids, particularly if their abuser happens to be standing right next to them. And while this is a great and worthwhile use of lenticular images, how long will it be before toy companies start doing to the same thing to hawk their products directly at kids?

This Ad Has a Secret Anti-Abuse Message That Only Kids Can See

The many faces of rape.

This makes me sick to my stomach. 

As disturbing as this is, I think it’s important to give these women voices.  They are survivors.

Please SOURCE these pictures. They’re from a tumblr blog called ProjectUnBreakable. She’s the amazing woman who documents rape victims and gives them a voice and so that they don’t feel alone in their experiences!

i hate black girls

the sentence above is racist, but if you replace black girls with white girls you get a funny 1000+ note text post instead

fuck, its finally time someone pointed this out

yet we’re not allowed to get annoyed by it because we have ‘white privilege’

Not only because you have white privilege  but also because no black girl has repressed you, raped you, or tried to take your heritage and home away from you in the past couple centuries. That’s why it’s not funny and that’s why it’s racist. Because when you “hate black girls” you bring back the mentality of racist, slave owning, white people.

Besides, when people say they “hate white girls,” they’re probably referring to girls who are too spoiled to know how to work for a fucking dollar and that’s why they hate them. Because they don’t know how to WORK and assume everything is going to be handed to them in life.
