“But the flapper’s influence on American culture could not be undone. She rejected the notion that women should be submissive and keep to their “separate sphere” of the home. She proved that women could work and live independent from men—and party just as hard.” — (via lasnotasenlapared)

‘Geography of Hate’ maps racism and homophobia on Twitter
Twitter, even more than many other social media tools, can feel disconnected from the real world. But a group of students and professors at research site Floating Sheep have built a comprehensive map of some of Twitter’s most distasteful content: the racist, homophobic, or ableist slurs that can proliferate online. Called Geography of Hate, the interactive map charts ten relatively common slurs across the continental US, either by general category or individually. Looking at the whole country, you’ll often see a mass of red or what the map’s creators call a “blue smog of hate.” Zooming in, however, patches appear over individual regions or cities; some may be predictable, while others are not.
I think it’s really interesting to see how open-minded and simultaneously closed-minded the nation is. New technology is great, but mention equal rights and someone gets pissed off about it.

Also, my dad’s a paramedic so he knows them all. And I get free food when I hang out with them, so it all works out for me.

It’s the tag I used on LiveJournal when I wrote about the same sort of things. lol.
And getting involved with either of the guys I currently like would probably not go over well.
