#TechStandsWithPP: A message from Tumblr’s CEO and Planned Parenthood’s president
When Planned Parenthood was founded a century ago, it was illegal to even hand out information about birth control. Thanks to generations of brave women and men who formed secret societies, challenged unjust laws, and started Planned Parenthood health centers in their own towns, we’ve come a long way since. Millions of people, regardless of income or insurance coverage, now have access to birth control, cancer screenings, and STI testing and treatment. Each year, Planned Parenthood proudly provides health information to nearly 70 million people online and 1 million people in classrooms and communities across the country. Today, America is at a 30-year low in unintended pregnancy and a historic low in teen pregnancy.
But all of that progress is a reminder of how much women and men in America now stand to lose. Extreme politicians at every level of government are doing everything they can to block millions of people from coming to Planned Parenthood, deny access to affordable health care, and roll back women’s rights over their own bodies. We are facing a national health disaster, especially in our most vulnerable communities.
That’s why we’re calling on the tech industry to join Tumblr in standing with Planned Parenthood and standing up for access to health care.
A 100-year-old health care provider and the platform powering 335 million blogs may seem like an unlikely pair. But over the last few years, Tumblr and Planned Parenthood have teamed up to provide information and organize communities in support of reproductive rights. We’re proud of all we’ve accomplished together and with overwhelming support from the Tumblr community.
Technology has become instrumental in the fight for fairness and equality across a range of issues. It has the power to influence public debate, mobilize communities, and — most importantly — offer creative solutions to help people receive better care, no matter where they live or who they are. Finally, the tech industry owes its success to the brilliant people it employs and the communities it serves — and we cannot take their health for granted.
It won’t be easy, but doing nothing isn’t an option when lives are at stake. We need to work together to break down barriers to care and information for the millions of people desperate to take ownership of their sexual and reproductive health, and tackle disparities in health care access and outcomes.
Now is the time to be vocal, visible, and active in your support of Planned Parenthood — starting with the #TechStandsWithPP hashtag to share stories about how Planned Parenthood has touched your life, or the life of anyone you know. Call on your co-workers and peers to do the same.
In health care, education, and nearly every industry, we’re doing things that would have been unthinkable a century ago. Think of all we can achieve together in the decades to come if we combine the creativity, innovation, and energy of the tech community with Planned Parenthood’s commitment to helping people everywhere — no matter what.
— David Karp + Cecile Richards

I love girls who are proud and uninhibited about their intelligence and will brag about their accomplishments and take no shit from pretentious boys who look down on women in their field. girls who are outspoken and a bit arrogant and ambitious in a world where we are told that we must hide our intellect and to always put the needs of others (i.e. men) in front of our own are amazing

As of Sunday Jan 29, Boston is the only US city pledging to admit all legal green card and visa holders, and refugees at an international airport. No detention no deportation. Anyone trying to come back to the US who is affected by the ban is being urged to reroute through Logan airport. Please share.

lovelyz: while promoting a song about celestial spheres wore dresses that would match the phases of the moon on the day of the performance. loona: each month release a solo of a new member, each filmed in a different and individual country such as taiwan france uk japan, and each having a mascot animal that perfectly ties in with the lyrics and concept of the song. red velvet: with each release have either a ‘red’ or a ‘velvet’ concept that shows both the bubbly upbeat and the feminine and sensual sides of the group. wjsn: have an exo-like space concept that tells of the members’ alien origins, a zodiac sign corresponding to each member including the 13th member who represents the constellation ophiuchus often called the 13th sign of the zodiac. twice: in each mv every member has an individual concept, for example wong kar wai’s chungking express. suzy: has an entire mv filmed to copy cinematic elements of wong kar wai’s cinematography, and actually filming it in hong kong.
uglies: ugh girlgroups only ever do either sexy or cute concepts boys are much better :/

Y'know I’m so fucking sick of all this pro-life agenda getting shoved down my face at work.
I want my freaking boss to decide what happens with my uterus EVEN LESS than a bunch of old grimey senators picking and choosing what medical services I can receive.
pro-lifers keep trying to tell me I’m pro-abortion but I honesty just want literally every every person in the universe to not make any legislation about what happens with my vagina and associated internal organs?
I’m aloud to ingest poisonous toxins and destroy all the lungs in a 20ft radius but it’s a sin to want doctors to provide healthcare?
Y'all pro-lifers will do anything for a non-sentient wad of cells before it even becomes a fetus but my ass was a fetus once too! I think maybe we should take care of the bigger issues instead of trying to keep the planet populated? Because if y'all haven’t checked it’s plenty damn populated and no one is asking YOU to get abortions, just to not pass laws about what happens with our damn genitals.
Babies are blessings!!!! I’m all about having healthy people carry healthy Babies to term and then putting them up for adoption for others who have the means and desire to raise kids.
But y'all know birth isn’t that clean and easy, right? Y'all be trying to save an ectopic pregnancy instead of saving the mother. “The bAby could end world hunger,,” THE MOTHER COULD END WORLD HUNGER but y'all won’t give her a chance! She’s gonna die and we gonna lose them both and world hunger will still be here.
Woman miscarries a baby (WHICH HAPPENS OFTEN) and y'all want her to pay for a funeral, confirming that she is a murderer for something that can happen completely randomly to what may not even be technically alive yet? As if she doesn’t feel horrible enough??? You gonna start charging woman with murder every time she gets her period of this keeps up you freaking psychopaths. “That’s an extreme you’re jumping to conclusions” well slippery slope amirite? Y'all always telling us that shit.
And of course dudes are never to blame. They never have faulty sperm. They never pressure someone to abort. They always take perfect 100% healthy safe care of their baby mommas??? Let’s applaud the dudes for having viable sperm and being sexually active and slut shame everyone else.
If you don’t wanna get pregnant don’t have sex right right. If I don’t wanna be in a car accident never leave the house if I don’t wanna be robbed don’t use money if I don’t wanna be hit by a meteor don’t be alive. So you know how fucking stupid that is?
Fuck you. It really doesn’t take long to see where your crazy shit is coming from.
Y'all need to realize there are bigger problems and there is more important shit to deal with and that restricting healthcare isn’t even gonna solve what your march for life is protesting.
Sit down, open a text book, and EDUCATE YOURSELF before you drive our terrible fucking society even further into hell.

I don’t understand how some fans can manage to stay committed to one single bias. Where do you get the will power from? Does your heart not flutter at all to all the other pretty boys and girls out there? Here I am switching lanes everyday and giving my heart away to whoever smiles or holds a puppy.
