Sometimes NSFW. This blog is run by a cis lesbian photographer. Feminism, queer politics, social justice, photography, fashion, art history, women, LGBTQIA, sexuality, cats, reading, art, snark, etc. I have no tolerance for bullshit. Consider yourself warned.

lmao at people saying “wow i can’t believe eminem said he’d punch lana del rey i’ve lost all respect for him”

you’ve JUST lost respect for him now?

not after he made a song pretty much explaining step by step how he would murder his wife?

or the countless other times he talked about beating women or was homophobic or transmisogynistic

I hold my own hands. I brew my own coffee in the morning. There’s nothing better than being in love with yourself, no one else will know your knobs and windows and junk drawers. Tell people to view you as nothing but a miracle. After centuries upon centuries of evolution and mistake and more evolution, you are here. Don’t take it for granted like I did, building up years of self-hatred because the curve of my collarbone is not the shape of a bow. Let it be known you are a miracle, an off-chance of evolution, compiled of stardust and greatness. I touch my own cheeks when I need to remember what beautiful things feel like. I open my own doors, I write myself love poems. People say there is a perfect half waiting for you, but it’s already there. It’s my left side, my locked wardrobe, the cold side of the pillow. It’s the dormant part of you that holds the other one high enough to see over the horizon.

Before you know it, you’re 20 years old and wondering what happened to that 13 year old girl and why did she spend so long hating herself? But you realize that 13 year old girl didn’t ever see herself to be 20, she didn’t think she would make it that far, but she did, and oh God, she’s so proud of herself for doing so.

Please don’t ever give up. It may be a hard battle, but I promise it’s worth the fight for your life. You can do this. (via cats-tats-recovery)

Why do police have quotas? If a doctor went around intentionally sneezing on people to get more patients, that would be seen as a travesty to their profession. But police, can sit around and wait for someone to turn on a red light or commit other mundane ‘offenses’ because they have quotas to meet. Quotas are all the proof we need that policing is not a public service vocation; it’s a business and a subsidiary of Wall Street.

You can be a fan and still be critical of an artist. Don’t excuse the commercialism of genocide just because you like Nicki. This is not an #aesthetic this is not a #look this is not a #moment. This is a flagrant disregard of the millions of lives lost during the Holocaust. If you’re fan, let her know that she can do better than this. Let her know she fucked up. 

Anonymous asked:

why isn't it a problem when m.i.a raps? why is it ok to have chicano rap/asian rap/ etc? But as soon as white people try it you all lose your shit?

That’s so cute and simplistic. Did you work on this question all week or…? No one cares when white people try to rap. We care when they don’t represent their authentic selves or are plain untalented. We don’t care that Eminem is white. He’s not out her performing sonic blackface, despite being from the Detroit Metro Area. Yelawolf sounds like a southern rapper because… he’s a southern rapper. Homeboy is from Alabama. His voice is his. Hell, we didn’t even care about Bubba Sparxxx. Homeboy is from Georgia. Plus, Ms. New Booty is still a bop, so.. *shrugs*

Iggy literally sounds like something out of Malibu’s Most Wanted. Protip: that movie was not a documentary. This sheila is claiming she’s in the “murda bidness”. Homegirl grew up in Mulllumbimby, New South Wales, on a fucking farm. What the fuck was she murdering? Chickens? The hopes and dreams of her parents? What? You tell me. But she is flagrantly being dishonest and unauthentic. She sounds like all the mediocre parts of some of the premiere lady rappers throughout the years. She ain’t as cool in her delivery as Da Brat. She ain’t as raw and bold as Foxy or Trina. She ain’t as cute or skilled as Charli Baltimore. Iggy is what happens when generally mediocre white girls think they deserve to win and people who don’t know better let them.

"The hopes and dreams of her parents?"

This was pure ether

“never again”
This image is one of the most powerful pro-choice images I’ve ever seen. When I saw it in the newspaper I immediately cut it out and hung it on my wall.
This is not my image. I’m using it with permission from Arthur Newspaper.

The sad part is a lot of people don’t even understand what the hanger represents. Awful.

abortions will always occur, let’s make them as safe as possible.

^ THIS

The cretins who want to make abortion illegal don’t seem to understand that it will do NOTHING to stop abortion

All it will do is lead to unsafe abortions that could result in the death of the woman having one
