DEAR EVERYONE WHO THINKS I AM NOT A FEMINIST...
wordsandturds:
FUCK OFF. no, seriously.
“I wonder if the nudity—on otherwise non-pornographic blogs—really is feminism or female insecurity masquerading as confidence, with women unsuccessfully trying to reclaim their own sexual objectification to prove that they can move beyond it.”
-“On Tumblr Nudity and Post-Feminism”
written by my brother’s friend from school (i suspect this is...

– - Jonathan Franzen from the New York Times article, “Liking is for cowards. Go for what hurts.”
This is a wonderful article. And exactly what I needed to read today. (via sniffyjenkins)

Medical TMI and complaints about this "future" in...
Honestly, sometimes medical procedures seem so completely barbaric to me. So aggressively invasive. Especially the ones that deal with female genitalia. I can’t comment on ones concerning male genitalia but I assume they are just as horrible as the ones for females. Any description having to do with “a long, straight pipe-cleaner like instrument is inserted to scrape the inside of the...
jackscoresby asked: We're gonna have to rethink this whole "Every two years" thing. If we both live to be 80 that's still less than 30 times. That's not enough. Nowhere near. And when we're still taking naked photos at 80 we're going to (hilariously) make people uncomfortable (and not give a fuck).
Every year. At least. When I'm living on the same continent you...

somesayshe asked: I wish I could remember how I stumbled upon your blog, but I honestly don't care because I'm just happy to be here! Your photographs are beautiful and totally inspiring - I so appreciate the honesty in them. I went to college for photography, and since graduation 2 years ago I've felt like I lost what artistic confidence I had. I think your self portraits have helped reset my...

J.R. Blackwell: Ladies, Be A Man →
jrblackwell:
Whenever I sign up for a site on the internet, I register as a Man. I’m male, a guy, a dude, a bro, a penis-possessor, masculine identified, a beard-shaving, balls-having, capital M male.
It wasn’t always this way. I used to register as being female. But no more! I discovered that being female meant that I got loads of ads on “how to lose weight” and “look younger” and “clean...
tangledupinlace asked: My stunning dreamgirl,
Today I was in the market deciding what flavour of yogurt to buy (I decided on Greek yogurt with honey) and out of nowhere I thought to myself, " I wonder if Katie West thinks of the quotes and stories under the photos before or after the photos are taken?"
So my dear, do tell!
xoxoxo

Heartwarming Tearjerker of the Day: The latest StoryCorps animated short, “No More Questions,” features Kay Wang, “a feisty grandmother,” sitting down for a somewhat involuntary Q&A with her son and granddaughter. “Though reluctant to be there, Kay still had stories to tell — from disobeying her mother and fending off her many boyfriends while growing up in China to adventures...

Canada: I am disappoint.
I guess Canadians don’t really care about honesty. Or respect for the law. Or healthcare. Or social programming. Or the environment. Or gay/queer/trans people. Or Native Canadians. Or women. Or the internet. Or freedom. Or any of those other things that I really care about.
That’s really interesting.
For those of you who voted, I think you did a really good thing. If you didn’t...

Guest Blogger: Shannon Winterstein>>Why I vote
(Shannon and I had this entire conversation over text message. It’s long, but also possibly the most informative thing you’ll read all day.) Shannon: Why do I vote? Because there is no good reason not too. People died, they died, for this right. While there are gaping holes in democracy, it is ridiculous to ignore the fact that civil participation, or the lack of it, is just as much...
