And in case you’re left scratching your head: poverty is a form of violence for many reasons, most of which being that it is cyclical, preventable, and very difficult to escape unassisted. The idea that poor people are “lazy” is false; it’s oversimplifying for the comfort of people who can’t face the idea that they are complicit in such and overwhelming problem.
We have a Food not Bombs in Eugene! It’s operated out of my co-op kitchen actually, we get donations of organic veggies that are about to go bad and make delish food from it. I made some dank guac yesterday and folks loved it… we need more help through. There aren’t enough folks and people always get tired and usually leave our kitchen a mess and mess is contagious and then I have to deal with it. So come help us, we’re friendly ;)

Rainbow Health Ontario, CAMH and The Public are incredibly excited to launch the Bisexual anti-stigma campaign in Toronto this fall. Check out the launch party on September 9th. For more information check out http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=199052006821971
We are thrilled to have been a part of this exciting initiative. Challenging biphobia is part of building strength in our communities!
That top one really makes me happy. YAY VISIBILITY AND INTERSECTION AND YES.
Today on “fabulous things that show up on my dash”.
(Because, seriously, unfuck the fact that this has to be an issue at all, since the whole anti-bi thing I understand even less than normal heterosexism, which says a lot.
But hella props to this lot.)

LGBTQ* Homo History and Terms
“The Lavender Menace”
*Started as a negative term
—> Betty Friedan, the president of NOW (National Organization of Women), used “Lavender Menace” in 1969
—> the terms was used to explain NOW’s fear that having lesbian members would set back the movement for women’s rights (basically, NOW felt there was not enough room to fight lesbian equality along with women’s equality)
* Changed to a term of empowerment when many of the lesbians who were kicked out of NOW joined the GLF (Gay Liberation Front)
—> The term “dyke” was also embraced as a power term during this time

This goes out to all the cis people who, it’s quite obvious, want to help and befriend trans people, but who keep alienating and angering us instead. I’ve seen the befuddled looks on your faces when this happens, and I thought I’d try to clear a few things up for you. Let’s look at some common…
I posted last week asking people if they knew of some good resources for male victims of sexual assault. Here is the list people came up with:

Thanks everyone!
Fantastic resource guide, Kristine!!! <3
It works as such: one drop of blood goes on the microfluidics-based optical chip, 15 minutes pass, and boom, the AmEx-sized device will confirm whether or not you have syphilis and / or HIV. The bantam gizmo is practically foolproof, as reading the results doesn’t require any human interpretation whatsoever. Plus, it’s cheap — cheaper than a coffee at Starbucks. One dollar cheap. Researchers at Columbia University claim the mChip has a 100 percent detection rate, although there’s a four to six percent chance of getting a false positive — a stat similar to traditional lab tests. As you’d likely expect, there’s hope that the inexpensive mChip will help testing efforts in places like Africa to detect HIV before it turns into AIDS. Next stop: the self-service pharmacy at CVS?
