dear America, you made me into a loudmouthed brat who takes internet trolls too seriously, but I’m very grateful that you did

sometimes my mom looks at me and goes “you were such a nice little kid what happened”

AMURRICA HAPPENED with all the good things like Polly Pockets and all the bad things like racist elementary school kids who pulled up their eyes at me

but yes when I was three I charmed the immigration officials in China who were about to arbitrarily not give me a visa but upon me telling them the story that I was going to go see my dad and he would take me to see the alligators, the alligators who were the parents of my stuffed alligator, they gave me one.

and so America you are stuck with me, no matter how many times throughout grade school I was told “go back where you came from”

I JUST WANTED TO SEE SOME ALLIGATORS OKAY

Miniature portrait of Jane Austen, watercolor on ivory [England]

Austen’s niece Caroline recollected: “As to my aunt’s personal appearance, hers was the first face I can remember thinking pretty. Her face was rather round than long, she had a bright, but not a pink colour—a clear brown complexion, and very good hazel eyes. Her hair, a darkish brown, curled naturally, it was in short curls around her face. She always wore a cap.” Although it conforms, in some of its details, to Caroline Austen’s description, this miniature, which depicts a conventionally pretty Austen, is an imaginary portrait. It is an idealized adaptation of the steel engraving made from James Andrews’s improvement of Cassandra’s sketch that first appeared as the frontispiece to J. E. Austen-Leigh’sMemoir of Jane Austen in 1870.

i like the word partners because no one can tell if you’re dating or if you’re in a buddy cop movie

oddly enough, no one can tell if Simon Pegg and Nick Frost are dating or in a buddy cop movie.

Since the OP didn’t give the source, this is from Darryl Cunningham’s graphic novel, Psychiatric Tales. it has ten other stories like this from his work in a psych hospital, and it’s one of the best introductions to mental health issues I’ve seen. I actually bought two copies when it first came out—one for me, and one to show clients. There’s apparently a second edition with even more info coming out this summer, so I expect to upgrade.

screams and buys

Really cool!

ryall-:

The six women of the Knitting Circle meet every week to talk, eat cake, and make fabulous sweaters. Until the night they realise that they’ve all survived rape and that not one of their assailants has suffered a single consequence. Enough is enough. The Knitting Circle declares open season on rapists, with no licenses and no bag limits. With needles as their weapons, the revolution begins.

A novel by Derrick Jensen and Stephanie McMillan: The Knitting Circle Rapist Annihilation Squad will be available soon! In the meantime, we have patches which can be sewed or ironed on. [x]

The Writing Box: Describing Characters Through 'Showing'

The Writing Box: Describing Characters Through 'Showing':

writingbox:

Describing characters can be a little bit of a ‘telling’ minefield. While you are almost certainly going to end up with some ‘told’ description of a character, try to keep it to a minimum, ‘showing’ things about their appearance through action and dialogue instead.

Examples:

Instead of ‘She was…

"I asked all of the gay male students in the room to raise their hand if in the past week they..."

Sun, 19 May 2013 03:22:20 -0400

“I asked all of the gay male students in the room to raise their hand if in the past week they touched a woman’s body without her consent. After a moment of hesitation, all of the hands of the gay men in the room went up. I then asked the same gay men to raise their hand if in the past week they offered a woman unsolicited advice about how to “improve” her body or her fashion. Once again, after a moment of hesitation, all of the hands in the room went up.

These questions came after a brief exploration of gay men’s relationship to American fashion and women’s bodies. That dialogue included recognizing that gay men in the United States are often hailed as the experts of women’s fashion and by proxy women’s bodies. In addition to this there is a dominant logic that suggests that because gay men have no conscious desire to be sexually intimate with women, our uninvited touching and groping (physical assault) is benign.””

- Gay Men’s Sexism and Women’s Bodies by Yolo Akili (via plightofthepretty)

i don’t want ANY man touching me or commenting on my body without my consent. gay men don’t get a free pass to sexually harass or assault me.
