and it’s my personal opinion that “judging somebody by their skin color (or sexuality, gender, etc)” is…shitty, but whatever. WHO CARES. if you look at me and see a breeding animal or a invading cockroach? I don’t really all that much give a shit.
what I *DO* give a shit about is you USING THAT JUDGEMENT TO DENY ME RESOURCES, LIFE, SAFETY, AND/OR HAPPINESS.
so even if every single person of color ever in the entire world thinks JUDGE ALL WHITE PEOPLE BY THEIR SKIN COLOR—until those judging people of color start denying white people voting writes, quality food, clean water, warm houses, jobs to buy all this with, AND they start building coal burning plants in their neighborhoods, shooting their children in the backs, arresting them protesting for educations, etc etc etc etc???? UNTIL THAT TIME HAPPENS—
white folks need to sit down and contemplate “racism” and “white supremacy” in a way that extends beyond quoting dictionaries.

Body Bakery: Bread imitating Gore by Kittiwat Unarrom
This brings weird to a whole new level. Thai Fine Art student and artist Kittiwat Unarrom is the son of a baker. All that baking exposure growing up has been a clear influence, but his artistic need to see things a little differently definitely flared up as he created the tacitly named “Body Bakery” – brutally, gruesomely, almost unbelievably realistic looking sculptures of dismembered human body parts sculpted entirely from bread.
With a master in Fine Arts Kittiwat Unarrom creates sculpture in bread. Not just normal sculpture but horror, dark art, gore, something I don’t know if I could actually eat. Located in Ratchaburi, Thailand Kittiwat creates feet, hands, heads, and internal organs among other body parts all entirely edible and for sale at his family’s bakery. He skillfully paints each piece to look terrifying to the observer/customer.
@lostin_hell O____O
I wanted to do this with cakes
I’ll move to Wellington, let’s start a gore bakery.

Nicaraguan guerrinna sister breast feeding her baby during the Contra War. Orlando Valenzuela’s photography captures the femininity of revolutionary Sandinista women so beautifully.
“I have learned that a woman can be a fighter, a freedom fighter, a political activist, and that she can fall in love and be loved. She can be married, have children, be a mother. Revolution must mean life also; every aspect of life.” Leila Khaled
i mean—i love this picture. i really do. it calls to mind the other picture of a woman breast feeding her baby talking to hugo chavez. but…i’ve seen it reblogged so so so many times these past few days—and some poeple have a legitimate right to, as they are latina and this is their history or they’re women of color and i trust that they reblog this critically or aware of context— and other people …i don’t know. this picture coupled with the other pictures of women (mostly women from the global south or carribean islands that i’ve seen) in soldadera gear with guns and in formations…
i’ve been thinking a lot about this poem and wondering in what world we think that being a mami during war time is beautiful or inspiring. (p.s. also not sure how i feel about a palestinian woman being used to speak for a nicaraguan woman):

Our white sisters
radical friends
love to own pictures of us
sitting at a factory machine
wielding a machete
in our bright bandanas
holding brown yellow black red children
reading books from literacy campaigns
holding machine guns bayonets bombs knives
Our white sisters
radical friends
should think
again.Our white sisters
radical friends
love to own pictures of us
walking to the fields in the hot sun
with straw hat on head if brown
bandana if black
in bright embroidered shirts
holding brown yellow black red children
reading books from literacy campaigns
smiling.
Our white sisters
should think again.
No one smiles
at the beginning of a day spent
digging for souvenir chunks of uranium
of cleaning up after
our white sisters
radical friends.And when our white sisters
radical friends see us
in the flesh
not as a picture they own,
they are not quite sure
if
they like us as much.

thecurvature reblogged guerrillamamamedicine:“We let Willow cut her hair. When you have a little girl, it’s like how can you teach her that you’re in control of her body? If I teach her that I’m in charge of whether or not she can touch her hair, she’s going to replace me with some other man when she goes out in the world. She can’t cut my hair but that’s her hair. She has got to have command of her body. So when she goes out into the world, she’s going out with a command that it is hers. She is used to making those decisions herself. We try to keep giving them those decisions until they can hold the full weight of their lives.”

“Killed 99 bears”
a fact that if actually accomplished, should be put on a tombstone.
My favorite part is “We hope he has gone to rest.” What, like… they weren’t sure? Maybe, if ever the bear uprising should start again, he would rise from the ground to finish what he started and slay that 100th bear?
Was this man so powerful they are concerned he might not have decided to rest at all and is simply biding his time?The bears made that tombstone.
A warning, and a prayer.
That he really, truely stays down.
This is too badass not to reblog.
hes got 99 problems but a bear aint one
Actually, considering he stopped just shy of an even hundred bears…..I’d say the last one bear probably was the problem.
That’s because the 100th bear was the boss. Boss fights will forever be a bear fighter’s doom.
And he looked down at the man, who seemed no bigger than a cub and raised a paw to his chest, as he said,
“Good Sir, you’ve nearly made this world unbearable.”
And before Mr. Whitehead could draw his Bear Killing knife (Made popular and possible by one David Crockett) or put on a fashionable pair of vintage sunlight filters over his eyes and speak an affirmative in an exaggerated fashion, the bear swiped down at him once and ripped his face clean off.
Almost unbearable indeed.

Let's talk about the pill and sterility
Anonymous: Your last post about the desensitizing has given me the biggest relief in the world… I thought I was broken as well! But I had a question, (straight, 19 female) I’ve been on birth control pills for hormonal asthma for about 2 years (I’m not sexually active), I was reading the HUGE paper inside all my packs and I saw something about possibly becoming sterile and freaked out. Is there a chance I may not be able to have babies because of using birth control? Please help!
Wow, Anonymous, you’ve certainly put my skills to the test. I combed through both of my sexual health Bibles and couldn’t find anything regarding permanent sterility and oral contraceptives. Since there are so many different kinds of birth control pills, it’s hard to offer sound advice on your question. I am going to assume you’re on the most popular kind, which is the combo progestin and estrogen rather than the protestin-only mini-pill. However, I cannot find anything regarding sterility in my own combo pill pack’s fine print, so there goes that reference. The only thing that might affect your ability to procreate would be a temporary halt or change in production of your cervical mucus as you transition off the pill. However, this change in mucus is only temporary, and your body reverts to normal production soon thereafter.
Fun fact: Thin and slippery cervical mucus allow sperm to easily pass through the vaginal walls and reach the cervix for fertilization. Those who the practice fertility awareness method check their cervical mucus in order to find out when they’re ovulating. They know it’s safe to have sex when the mucus is thick and cloudy or altogether dry. If they’re ovulating or about to, the mucus is thin and feels like egg whites. I, however, do not condone this method of contraception since reported rates of effectiveness range between 80 to 93%. Compare that to the cheap, easily accessible, and 99% effectiveness of condoms — no contest.
And for more reliable advice regarding your prescription of birth control, I suggest you take this question to either your doctor or local pharmacist.
