Representing Pocho.com, I was a panelist along with a table full of young, savvy Latino digital media types as part of last week’s Digital LA Latino Content event. Afterwards, I finished up networking and headed outside to leave. As I waited to get my car in front of the host restaurant in Beverly Hills, you’ll never guess what happened: A white lady...

“We do not do trigger warnings. Ever. As a rule. I don’t believe in them, period.”
– Jessica Coen, Editor in Chief of Jezebel.
Trigger warnings are icky! Unlike photos of women being raped, of course. Those are totally OK and can actually drive your entire “feminist light” business model.
I might have to re-write my motto: My feminism will be rape culture friendly! And you know,...

A policy brief recently issued by the National Poverty Center (NPC) reveals that the number of households in the US living on less than $2 a day per person has increased by 130 percent since 1996, from 636,000 to some 1.46 million today.
This means that some 4 million people in “the richest country on earth” (according to US capitalism’s...

“CO2 is a pollutant? Tell that to the plants.”

Yet another example of willfully ignorant being brought to it’s absolute apex.
We’re currently pumping about 90 million tons of carbon emissions into the air every day. This creates the conditions that lead to global warming, and the seriousness...

80% of respondents said yes, because “it was a joke.” (Only 10% said it was not okay.)
Of course, when is blackface NOT supposed to be a “joke”? Didn’t white people INVENT it because they thought it was really fucking funny? Isn’t that the whole THING that blackface is, one big joke about Blackness?
I thought this was a thing of assholes thinking that this wasn’t REALLY blackface...

Interesting fact, a while ago this cis-woman up in Norway I believe did an experiment to see if cis-men could produce breast milk. They can but in small amounts :3
I’d have to look around for the source, but I believe nearly all breasts are capable of producing milk with the...

Okay guys. Rubbing hands together and pulling some of my own art to serve as a visual of sorts here. Whitewashing, as most of you know, is taking a character of color and depicting them as white or with light skin. It’s a controversial issue—and for very good reason. PoC are concerned about…
