Planned Parenthood is on Tumblr!
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.
FUCK YEEEEAAAAAHHHHH

A Dangerous Mind? →
“As a political scientist specializing in Islamic law and war, I frequently read, store, share and translate texts and videos by jihadi groups. As a political philosopher, I debate the ethics of killing. As a citizen, I express views, thoughts and emotions about killing to other citizens.

On being alienated by my team and community
A year ago, I signed on to be a representative of the Asian and Asian American community to the larger community, without any clue of the long ride ahead. Now, with a week left, I will fulfill what is left of my duties, but I will do it my way.
Throughout this year, my team and I, in the face of racism, defaulted onto the methods of “gladvocates.” We always put smiles on our faces,...

Because the quotes in this article are not necessarily representative of my thoughts and feelings.
Did you read the email Sharon sent out yesterday? Do you have the same concerns about the UPF, and if so what are they specifically? Are you concerned about the formation of the UPF itself, or do you have issues with the way the process of creating the UPF has been going?
I did read Sharon’s...

On my feelings about the past year and the UPF
For some context, read this letter.
Dear UPF Committee Members and Cornell Community Members, This entire year, I have stayed silent about the impact the role of being VP of External Affairs of the Cornell Asian Pacific Islander Student Union (CAPSU) has had on me, especially on the topics of byline funding, of working with groups such as the Student Assembly (SA), African Latino Asian Native...
