How to find textbooks online for free: a post.
obsessionfull:
Textbooks are fucking expensive, and if your professor doesn’t require a physical copy (most don’t - they just want you to have the book at hand. Or maybe even not. Some professors literally give no fucks about whether you have the book or not) and you don’t mind having your copy as an electronic copy - this is the post for you!
Most textbook companies put out new editions every...

Sigh.

Why not kindly ask it to leave, and shoo it out the door by treating your body in a healthful way, or better yet, offer it a few cookies and invite it to stay?

– Voltairine de Cleyre (via petitefeministe)
The best part of this essay is when she advocates for children to be brought up with no gender-role stereotyping, and gets in some not-so-subtle digs at heterocentricism and heterosexism in the process.

fuckyeahfeminists:
I read Natalia’s own story about student debt and it got me mad. It reminded me of my own story and I thought I could share to show why good sexual assault policies matter. How rape changes lives. Why schools need to act responsibly and be held accountable for their reaction to rape survivors.

Feminism is a gendered movement, I think we can all agree on that. Feminism is a transmisogynistic movement, I think trans women can come to a consensus that our needs are not addressed under the flag of feminism - regardless of individual feminists, (and I know a bunch who are great!) the overwhelming majority of feminists address trans women as an “other”. A prime example of...

Wow that wasn’t racist or anything
