Every morning this week I've thought it might be...
Today I had to triple-check to be sure.
Some things I like today:
Classical Revolution Vancouver
fierce, fat femmes
dirty-talking smut and naughty pictures
“Ask ten adults to define a slut and you’ll hear things like: a woman who has sex...”
– Emily Maguire- Princesses & Pornstars (via missrockmeup)
This is the best definition of slut I have ever, ever heard/read: a mythical creature dreamt up by people who are jealous of or threatened by female sexual expression
(via squeetothegee)
I’m gonna need to write that down.
I was just looking through a bunch of photos I’ve been tagged in on FB, and yeah, I apparently make a lot of crazy faces in regular life. Or at least, that’s the only time people seem to take pictures of me.
finally getting my ass in gear on that Leslie Hall...
Things I need:
super-amazing, gem-laden, button-up cardigan or zippered sweater
tight gold pants, ideally gold leggings with full side zippers
zip-front sports bra
gold booty shorts
sweet runners
probably some runners socks
extra gems
fabric store applique pasties (as if I even have any other kind)
blue eye shadow
nice 80s glasses
pink lipstick
hairspray
more hairspray
That should...
“But when a saga popular with pre-adolescent girls peaks romantically on a night...”
– NPR’s Linda Holmes reviews Twilight Breaking Dawn, Pt. 1 (via diandrabird)
Totally agree with this. Meyer doesn’t actually depict the sex scene itself, and can you imagine if she had? “Edward’s hands on my throat almost choked out my breath,” “his grip on my wrists almost made me cry as I looked...
Self-care
I am not good at it.
Health at Every Size →
tl;dr: weight does not indicate health, eat a variety of things that you enjoy eating, and do activities that you like to do.
Today I am eating every snack,
because fuck you.
Dulce Et Decorum Est - Wilfred Owen
Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs And towards our distant rest began to trudge. Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind; Drunk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots Of disappointed shells that dropped behind. GAS! Gas!...
The Precarious Politics of Desire
[sometimes the internet makes me feel sad and defeated and exhausted. other times, or sometimes even right after or concurrently, it inspires and invigorates and refreshes me. right now is the second kind of time.]
innerfatgirl:
I’ve been reading these recent conversations about “the privilege of being desired” bop around Tumblr these past few days. The conversation was a bit hard to follow...
*sigh*
Having another variety of the good old “man-hating feminists” argument again. Woohoo?! If I didn’t feel such a need to call people out about things, I might be a lot more productive at work.*
*Unless I get a job that pays me to argue about feminisms on the Internet.
For The Record: Preferences and Fetishes are NOT...
kylathegreat:
I, myself, have preferences AND fetishes. But attraction isn’t a fetish. Enjoying fat bodies doesn’t mean you’re a fat fetishist. A fetish is the sexualization of something that is not conventionally seen as sexually desirable. A fat fetishist is a person who fetishizes fat, typically seeing it as something that is not desirable to the majority. Hence, their widespread harassment...

I like this.

dustinjohnbromley:
I searched quite a few local and international bands, with hit & miss results.
The most accurate was for White Lung: 1 PBR, served cold.
This one’s pretty good.
HAH.
my character for tomorrow's 1920s Chicago murder...
Malissa F. Orrthot (“Scoop”)
As a young reporter for the city’s leading paper, The Chicago Trumpet, Scoop quickly made a name for herself on the crime beat, later covering the political scene. Her considerable beauty and lively charm have undoubtedly helped further her career, and she enjoys a broad circle of influential and powerful friends on both sides of the law. She counts...
Who's a Pretty Burlesque Princess Now? →
This is a very good article.
carven:
Just when I realized that somebody was going to educate a group of teenage hipsters (First Years), especially the really cute boy who was playing an ‘Indian’ straight from the animated, “made cute enough to now be able to be appropriated” Disney narrative, I also realized that our public school system is very lacking in providing critical thinking skills. Then I realized that what I...
calloutqueen:
the failure of pop star tabloid marriages isn’t an argument for gay marriage, it’s an argument against any marriage
To whom it may concern...
I liked this so I can find it later, but I figured I’d reblog it so that you can find it later too.

msamberhazard:
I need you to please read these words carefully and consider what I am saying.
I want to have you in my life but I have boundaries regarding people who make oppressive statements.
Ignorance is not a weakness but an opportunity to learn; please take...
WatchThis is NFB not CBC, but on the birthday of our national broadcasting corporation it somehow feels right to rewatch (and rewatch and rewatch) this classic Canadian gem.
I decided to come out today.
I’ve never been straight, but because of my body and the way I perform gender and my pubic relationship history it’s always been pretty easy for me to pass. In our heteronormative culture you’re assumed straight unless there’s something that directly challenges that assumption. I’m also not gay, and so I’ve never really been sure about “coming out”,...
