Did you know that there have been five school shootings since the start of 2013? We’re three weeks in. Three weeks, five school shootings. Just let that marinate.

That’s fucking bullshit. If you eat meat DON’T YOU DARE SAY YOU’RE AN ANIMAL LOVER AND YOU’RE AGAINST ANIMAL ABUSE.
Fuck your selective compassion.

Holly Goheavy - We think so little of the pig, as to simply reduce him to a pork chop or slice of bacon. Yet they are so similar to us, that we can even replace our diseased heart valves with theirs. Our bodies don’t view them as ‘foreign’ because we share over 99% of our DNA with pigs- yet we eat them. We think nothing of them. We castrate newborns without anesthesia, rip their teeth out with pliers, and slaughter them when they are only 6 months old. Ironically, heart valves usually need to be replaced because of atherosclerosis- a disease process from eating animals. Their misery and anguish lives inside you long after that meal which you have already forgotten.
Exactly.

Tulsi Gabbard becomes first Hindu-American in US Congress
Washington, Nov 7 — While all five Indian-American candidates hoping to enter the US Congress lost out, Tulsi Gabbard today created history by becoming the first Hindu-American to enter the US House of Representatives.
An Iraq war veteran, 31-year-old Gabbard defeated K. Crowley of the Republican Party with a handsome margin in Hawaii’s second Congressional district. Her victory has been cheered by the Hindu-American community across the country.
The heavily Democratic district also elected one of two Buddhists to have ever served in the Congress, Mazie Hirono, who won her seat in 2006 but is now running for the US Senate.
Born in American Samoa to a Catholic father and a Hindu mother, Gabbard moved to Hawaii when she was two. In 2002, at age 21, she was elected to the Hawaii state legislature.
The next year, she joined the Hawaii National Guard, and in 2004 was deployed to Baghdad as a medical operations specialist. After completing officers’ training, she was deployed to Kuwait in 2008 to train the country’s counter-terrorism units.
“Although there are not very many Hindus in Hawaii, I never felt discriminated against. I never really gave it a second thought growing up that any other reality existed, or that it was not the same everywhere,” Gabbard said in a statement soon after she took an unbeatable lead over her Republican challenger.
“On my last trip to the mainland, I met a man who told me that his teenage daughter felt embarrassed about her faith, but after meeting me, she’s no longer feeling that way,” Gabbard said.
“He was so happy that my being elected to Congress would give hope to hundreds and thousands of young Hindus in America, that they can be open about their faith, and even run for office, without fear of being discriminated against or attacked because of their religion,” Gabbard said.
At 21, Gabbard became the youngest person elected to the Hawaii legislature. At 23, she was the state’s first elected official to voluntarily resign to go to war. At 28, she was the first woman to be presented with an award by the Kuwait Army National Guard.
4 for you, tulsi gabbard!
You GO Tulsi Gabbard

i like my body when it is with your
body. It is so quite a new thing.
Muscles better and nerves more.
i like your body. i like what it does,
i like its hows. i like to feel the spine
of your body and its bones, and the trembling
-firm-smooth ness and which I will
again and again and again
kiss, i like kissing this and that of you,
i like, slowly stroking the, shocking fuzz
of your electric fur, and what-is-it comes
over parting flesh…And eyes big love-crumbs,and possibly i like the thrill
of under me you quite so new
