No, this isn’t an anime post, and I hope our followers, and the other runners of this blog, will forgive me for posting “politics” here.
This is too serious though, and with 3400 followers, you are my best audience.i *am* sorry if people are sick of hearing about politics. but politics or not, this is fucking scary: fema detainment camps are going live. FEMA DETENTION/DETAINMENT CAMPS. IN AMERICA. ALL FIFTY STATES. this is following the bill passed by the senate in a 93 to 7 vote that the government can, at it’s discretion, arrest any american citizen at any time without trial or reason, and hold them indefinitely. sure, obama says he’ll veto, but with a 2/3+ approval in senate, the veto will be over-ridden. so, they’ve passed the bill to detain us indefinitely, and now they’re activating the detention camps, all shortly after occupy wallstreet starts. google fema detainment camps, google the NDAA bill. google what occupy wallstreet stands for. please please please, research for yourself online what is going on in america right now. this is very very serious, and very very scary. don’t think about this as politics, don’t use that as an excuse to ignore this kind of thing. i’m not asking anyone to agree with me, or declare themselves as a 99%, i’m just asking everyone that reads this status to EDUCATE THEMSELVES on the shit that’s happening right now. read up on what’s going on and draw your own conclusions, but for pete’s sake, EDUCATE YOURSELF.
info on the NDAA bill
occupy wallstreet’s message & goals
pretty graphics to help perspective a bit
breaking news (12/06/2011) on FEMA camps going live
also, this alex jones video talking about the fema camps
a message from anonymous about the global situation right now
this is no longer about politics - this is literally about our freedoms & liberties.
AS AN EXAMPLE: say you have a pen pal in iraq, that can be labeled as “suspected terrorism” - off to fema camps you go, indefinitely, no lawyer, no family visits, no guarantee of leaving. 
say you put up a tweet: “i don’t like the president” — bam, suspected terrorism - off to fema camps you go.
 say you…. oh, have more than 6 days worth of food in your house - SUSPECTED TERRORISM, OFF TO FEMA WITH YOU. (yes, the last one is true, along with “missing fingers” or looking muslim, etc, check it here)
IF YOU CAN REBLOG A CAT LICKING IT’S LIPS, PLEASE REBLOG SOMETHING LIKE THIS.  Seriously. This is your life & your freedom. Spread the word, educate yourself, friends & family.

When a woman enjoys her sexuality without hurting anyone else, but someone finds out about it, the response is to insult her, shame her, bring her down and make sure she never does it again. But the response to rape, and “jokes” about rape, which trivialize and normalize violent, traumatic and sometimes life-threatening acts against women is—somehow—to laugh? “Kat,” Slut-Shaming vs. Rape Jokes (via inherhipstheresrevolutions)

I gave my 2 cents for this AMAZING Comics Alliance article by Laura Hudson on how to write better female characters in super hero comics:
http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/10/13/female-characters-superhero-comics/

Jess Fink: (Chester 5000) When people talk  about this issue they use the word “comics” to refer only to super-hero  comics and it kind of gets under my skin. There are so many amazing  indie comics out there that treat female characters the way they should  be treated. People keep asking how they can make female characters in  super-hero comics better and it’s just so frustrating because it’s right  under their noses, indie comics already do it. I could name so many. A perfect example for me is Nausicaa. If Nausicaa was a main stream US  super-hero comic her t*ts would be the size of her head and she’d be  dressed as skimpy as possible. She’d probably look like something out of  Heavy Metal magazine. It makes me feel like some comics  publishers don’t think readers can take a woman seriously unless she  looks like a hot piece of ass. A lot of writers don’t seem to be able to write female characters  unless there is a need for them to be female. What I mean is that women  are treated like cake icing, something to make the story sweeter,  sexier, to give the reader something nice to look at amid all the  violence. It feels like if you asked one of them to write a female  character who wasn’t overtly sexual, like they do with males all the  time, they’d look at you like you had two heads and say, “Well then,  what’s the point of the character being female?” The simple solution is  to stop treating women like icing,a pair of boobs, a pretty face, just  treat them like people. Obviously I don’t have a problem with sex; I draw porn comics most of  the time. But even in my comics when the characters aren’t getting it on  or about to get it on I am considering their personalities and their  situation and I dress them accordingly. Just because Priscilla highly  enjoys sex with a robot doesn’t mean she’s going to walk down the street  in Victorian society with nothing but her knickers on. So why then do  so many women in super hero comics do JUST THAT? They fight crime in  things that look like they should be hanging in the window of Fredericks  of Hollywood. You can’t wear a thong on a Victorian street but  super-hero ladies wear floppy corsets, skin-tight tube tops, thigh high,  g-strings and high heels to fight crime and they AREN’T EVEN IN A PORN  COMIC.

I think that woman’s shirt says it all, but just in case… Phyllis Schafly endorses Michele Bachman. Schafly is best known for her opposition to feminist ideas. She asserts ideas such as a woman not being able to be raped by her husband, for example. Have fun reading about her here.

A very telling excerpt from the above linked wiki page:
Schlafly told Time magazine in 1978, “I have cancelled speeches whenever my husband thought that I had been away from home too much.”[29]
In March 2007, Schlafly said in a speech at Bates College, “By getting married, the woman has consented to sex, and I don’t think you can call it rape.”[30]
On March 30, 2006, Schlafly provided an interview for The New York Times in which she attributed improvement in women’s lives during the last  decades of the 20th century to labor-saving devices such as the indoor clothes dryer and paper diapers.[31]
She has called Roe vs Wade “the worst decision in the history of the U.S. Supreme Court” and said that it “is responsible for the killing of millions of unborn babies”.[32]
According to an article in the March 28, 2007 edition of the Washington Post,  “New Drive Afoot to Pass Equal Rights Amendment,” Schlafly was then  working towards the defeat of a new version of the Equal Rights  Amendment: “Today, she warns lawmakers that its passage would compel  courts to approve same-sex marriages and deny Social Security benefits for housewives and widows.”[23]

Shekina Walters, a 21 year old woman visiting from Jamaica, went shopping in Barbados only to get followed, teased & taunted at by the locals because of her size. She cried and hid away into a clothing store for an hour to avoid the crowds. LINK

Basically, she was minding her own business, shopping whilst being hypervisible, and people didn’t like it.
