The average life expectancy for a trans* person is...
hoaxzine: November 20th is Transgender Day of Remembrance This number is made up out of thin air. I certainly support any opposition to gender-based violence, but I don’t like the spurious statistic that’s going around. Let’s check the facts we use, okay?

navajomoose asked: What's your take on rappers like George Watsky, who, though they might well be hip hop fans themselves, seem to make a conscious effort to cultivate a fanbase of "I hate rap, but THIS is good" suburban white kids? To what extent do white rappers have a responsibility to defend the community whose music they're performing against the often kinda repulsive opinions of their own...

“Ask ten adults to define a slut and you’ll hear things like: a woman who has sex...”
– Emily Maguire- Princesses & Pornstars (via missrockmeup) This is why I always find suspect the claim that it can be applied indiscriminately across genders, and thus be an unproblematic pejorative; the appeal becomes recursive. A so-called “male slut” is effectively being called...

Anonymous asked: What's the original source of that "aww yeah" sample in Too Damn Hype by DJJJ&tFP, and also in Inter Alia by this Halifax rap legend you may be aware of? I'm sure I've heard it elsewhere in some 90s rap (but can't remember off the top of my head) and was wondering where it came from in the first place. Also, what do you think of Busta Rhymes?

Hello new friends
Hey everyone! In the last week or so, I’ve been excited to see a lot of new followers sign up. I thought it might be nice to get to know one another a little, so I wanted to invite you all to make liberal use of the “ask me” feature. Anything you want to know about me, like my history or my views, fire at will. Anything about hip-hop, bombs away. Any sort of advice or...

Pope labels crucified frog sculpture blasphemous →
This is old news (and also kind of NOT news, which I love about it), but I just saw the headline today and it instantly became maybe my favourite headline I’ve ever seen. Like NO SHIT, huh?  The POPE saw something blasphemous in a sculpture of a crucified frog?  Boy, that guy needs to get off the Internet!  HEY THE POPE: GET A FUCKING JOB. The story is just marvelous.  It seems that the...

Culture not a costume
First little kid that came to our door, K-L asks her, “what is your costume?” and the little girl chirps, “gypsy!” Next batch of kids has one in it who replies to the same question, “Indian!” We stopped asking. kind of wanted to talk to parents, but couldn’t really chew out kids. Dismaying eye-opener.
