Planned Parenthood is on Tumblr!

barackobama:

plannedparenthood:

Planned Parenthood is excited to be launching our new Tumblr that’s all about sexual and reproductive health – bodies, birth control, relationship issues, “is it normal for this to do this?” type things. In the coming weeks and months we’ll be sharing what we know, answering questions, and just… tumblring. 

We hope you like it! And we hope it helps.

Welcome to the neighborhood!

guys just

it’s hard not to feel a sort of hopeful wonder when the Barack Obama Tumblr welcomes the Planned Parenthood Tumblr, you know?

I like the internet but it’s very annoying sometimes. Does this situation ever happen to you?

Trying to Change Your Pronouns on Facebook?

emmettforever:

There’s a helpful video on Ciscentrismsucks.tumblr.com on how to change your pronouns for anybody who’s lookin’ to. (http://ciscentrismsucks.tumblr.com/post/6065334634/if-anyone-is-looking-for-how-to-change-your-pronouns-to)

If you can’t read or see what the person is editing, here’s the written version:

1. Go to the ‘Basic Info’ section of your ‘About You’ page.

2. Right-click on the box that offers the “female” or “male” option of your sex, and click the option to “Inspect Element.”

3. Scroll to where the code deals with sex. There’s a formula saying “‘1’: female and ‘2’: male”. What you’ll want to do is right-click that whole line and opt to “Edit as HTML.”

4. When you get to that step, change the value of male to “0”, and change the word ‘male’ to whatever you want. (I did a smiley face).

4. You can close out of the code now. So, back in your ‘about you’ section, click on the option-box for female/male, and opt for whichever word you put inside your other option. 

5. Make sure you save! Good luck, and happy genderfucking.

…I really like these o.o

I can’t believe there’s not a tumblr one, though!

Reblogging for my sister because she loves this sort of thing

world-shaker:

I thought these two were some of the most interesting:

4) I have the right to cite Wikipedia as one of the sources that I use to research a subject. Just because you believe the hype that Wikipedia is full of incorrect information,  doesn’t mean that it is true — besides we all use it anyways (including you). I am smart enough to verify what I find online to be the truth.

5) I have the right to access social media at school. It is where we all live, it is how we communicate — we do not use email, or call each other. We use Facebook, Twitter and texting to talk to each other. Teachers and schools should take advantage of this and post announcements and assignments using social media — you will get better results.

omg omg, sooo interesting, so… delightfully earthshaking!

Celebrity Baby Pics of the Day: Proud parents Beyoncé and Jay-Z have launched a Tumblr blog dedicated to the first official photos of their newborn baby girl, Blue Ivy Carter.
“We welcome you to share in our joy,” reads a statement on the site. “Thank you for respecting our privacy during this beautiful time in our lives.”
Giving away baby photos for free at a time when selling pics to gossip rags can net a celeb a cool $14 million is almost unheard of.
Kudos to Hova and Bey, and congrats on your beautiful daughter.

a) A BOO BOO BOO
b) they could have gotten $14 million
but they made

how to cut down on an enormous chunk of illegal downloading, and this is so absurdly simple that it boggles the mind:

  • make your show / movie / whatever accessible online. 
  • put ads on it so you can make money off of it, or sell a subscription to a competitive streaming service like netflix.
  • make it available
  • everywhere, meaning the country of origin and everywhere else
  • as soon as it airs (tv shows) / becomes legally available to purchase (films &cet).  not a week and a half later, not three days later, not the next morning.  as soon as.   people who are savvy about internet downloading and things are generally going to be the sort of people who hang out online and want to talk about their favorite shows as soon as they happen with their friends who are in that timezone/country.  you’ll cut down on a shitton of downloading if you just make things available legally faster.
  • square yourselves with the idea that in this age of high definition and internet streaming that seeing a film in a cinema is a premium service and should not be relied upon as a primary method of distribution.

 #this is why the illegality of piracy does not bother me #it is a necessary form of civil disobedience #it is digital revolution #if you cannot AFTEROVER TWENTY YEARS make an effort to adapt your business model #you do not deserve to be spared

Follow Up of the Day: In an update posted to his Tumblr blog, Photojojo and Jelly founder and all-around good guy Amit Gupta relays the amazing news that he has found a 10/10 matched donor and will be heading to Boston tomorrow to start the transplant process.
When last we left Amit, he had just been diagnosed with Acute Leukemia. His doctor told him he needed to find a bone marrow donor right away — no simple task for a person of South Asian descent.
Thankfully, the Internet stepped up and offered to help.
100 donor drives and countless of reblogs, tweets, and Facebook posts later, and Amit has found his match. “You all literally helped save my life,” Amit says in his post, adding “(And the lives of many others.)”
As for what happens next, he elaborates:

Tomorrow, I’ll be admitted to Dana Farber in Boston for 4-5 weeks.
First I’ll get a second Hickman line to allow direct access to my heart (for meds and for nutrients if I’m not able to eat). Over the next week, the docs blast my body with a stiff chemo cocktail to try anderadicate all traces of cancer cells. In the process, the immune system I was born with, and my body’s ability to make blood, are destroyed.
Next Friday, I get my donor’s stem cells by IV. I start onimmunosuppressants to prevent my body from rejecting them (I’ll be on them for 12-18 months). For these weeks I’ve no immune system, so I’m severely vulnerable to viruses and bacteria. My hospital room and hallway become my world.
Meanwhile, the stem cells make their way to my bone marrow and, with some luck, start producing platelets, red blood cells, and white blood cells. At this point, my blood type changes to the blood type of my donor. And my blood will now have my donor’s DNA, not my own.
This is science fiction stuff. I can hardly believe it’s even possible, and there’s lots of chances for things to go wrong. It’s frightening.

Getting back to “normal” takes time, and there are plenty of obstacles along the way. But Amit’s odds are pretty good given his age, and he knows his family and friends are there to support him every step of the way.
“A few months ago I didn’t have many options,” he says. “Today I have a plan. I am alive. I start tomorrow. Wish me luck!”
Good luck, Amit!
