Hey y’all, remember when we could filter our dashboard by post type?

Wasn’t that nice?

Spring

It’s 60 degrees and sunny. Chicago, if you take this nice weather away and make it snow and shit I am going to be pissed.

"About one in every four Americans married or living with someone say they are so sleep-deprived that they are often too tired to have sex, according to a new study by the National Sleep Foundation. Lack of sleep also keeps many people from work and family functions, the report said. The study, based on a random sampling of 1,007 adults ages 25 to 60, focused on differences in sleep habits among ethnic groups — but the responses on tiredness and sex were about the same across the board."

South African government minister Lulu Xingwana walked out of an “innovative Women” exhibit because it featured  Zanele Muholi’s photographs of nude lesbian couples. She reportedly found the photos “immoral” and “against nation-building” even though she donated money to the exhibit where Zanele’s work was listed in the exhibition’s catalogue as:”without precedent in South Africa, where there are very few instances of black women openly portraying female same-sex practices.”

Here’s what Zanele had to say in response:

“There is nothing pornographic. We live in a space where rape is a common thing, so there is nothing we can hide from our children…Those pictures are based on experience and issues. Where else can we express ourselves if not in our democratic country?”

She added: “Children need to know about these things. A lot of people have no understanding of sexual orientation, people are suffering in silence. We need to educate people about homosexuality. We need to have very good treatment and respect from the minister.”

The Innovative Women exhibition features work by 10 artists including Muholi, photographer Nandipha Mntambo, and painter Bongi Bengu, who also curated it.

Three things: first, nationalism is fascinating, extremely useful, and absolutely terrifying. Second, excuse me for being US-centric, imagine what would happen if black lesbian nudes were paid for with government money here. Third, this work is beautiful.

Related Point

If a woman appears to be distressed by your approach, it’s probably because her violent asshole detector is broken and she’s nervous that you might be one. OH WAIT WE DON’T HAVE THOSE AND VIOLENT ASSHOLES LOOK LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE.

Think about that the next time you want to tell some lady to smile.

Anti-feminist rock-and-a-hard-place bullshit

Why you gotta trust a man like that and get yourself raped/have your sexy text forwarded around?

or, if you go the not trusting men route

Why you gotta hate on men all the time?

This could be phrased better but I think you can see my point. Either you don’t trust any man ever and get labeled a man hating feminazi or you get blamed for trusting a man when he does something without your consent.

i appreciate the enthusiasm guys, but my stepmother has already begged me twice to not put jewelry and makeup on him so i think from now on our dress up sessions have to leave no evidence.

(srsly i’m just trying to give this kid the full experience of growing up with an older sister. he’s getting off light, when we were around 8 to 6 my and my other girl cousins used to make my other little brother wear my great-grandmother’s hats, evening gloves, fur shawl and put on plays with us. he always looked so pretty in his lipstick and rouge. )

My sister (4 years older) treated me like a doll for the first five years of my life. She didn’t really appreciate the addition of another child into the household.
