Anonymous asked you: You should make a picture of Thor hugging Loki and singing Set Fire to the Rain.

When you post something for someone and they ignore it
Reblogging just to weird out Kate.
This little comic speaks the truth. Ladies, if you don’t want people looking just cover them up.
FACT: All gay guys are capable of memorizing Elton John Songs, even if they don’t want to.
One of the many reasons I avoid his music.
Over It
People who post “Reblog if ________ if I killed myself” should just killed themselves.
United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon urged the Syrian government Thursday to abide by the terms of a U.N.-brokered peace plan, declaring that the international organization did not employ monitors to Syria “just to bear witness to the slaughter of innocents.” Speaking in Istanbul, Turkey, Ban warned that the recent massacre in Syria of more than 100 people, mostly women and children, “could plunge Syria into a civil war — a civil war from which the country would never recover,” the Associated Press reported. The U.N. chief urged the Syrian government to implement the U.N.-crafted peace plan. “The U.N. did not deploy in Syria just to bear witness to the slaughter of innocents,” Ban said, A.P. reported. “We are not there to play the role of passive observer to unspeakable atrocities.” Almost 300 unarmed U.N. monitors have been deployed in Syria as part of the peace plan brokered in April by the U.N.’s special envoy, Kofi Annan. However, violence has continued, most dramatically in the massacre last week of more than 100 people, mostly women and children killed in their homes, in the Syrian township of Houla.
Syria is facing extreme levels of violence as the situation becomes more precarious and all the press can talk about is Mitt Romney’s website misspelling “America.” Okay.

Also lemme break it down for y’all with a little somethin’ somethin’ about the hijab.
The hijab, niqab and other head coverings did not always mean or represent what they do today. Back in the day in Egypt wearing a niqab meant that you were an upper class women, and both Muslims and Christians wore it. Head coverings were a mostly cultural thing. I believe at the turn of the 20th century Qasim Amin (a dude, might I add) wrote a book called The Liberation of Women, which fed into the colonizers idea that head coverings are backwards and inferior, as they are tied to an Islamic society. A lot of people cite this book as the start of making women a battleground over East v West, backwards v enlightened, and like as some peg to rate how good a society is, over the personal choice of a head covering. Contemporary women writing about women’s issues in Egypt at the time usually did not talk about head coverings, because idk if y’all know this but there are other things that a women wearing a hijab might have to worry about.
Anyone could correct me on this quick history if I’m wrong, but I hope to show that this idea of a woman’s headscarf being a marker of how progressive her society is and how oppressed she is is kinda bullshit.
