I learned about “the gaze”. Gazing has many interesting power dynamics. Eye contact in the western world is often seen as looking into another person’s soul or thoughts. Perhaps my attraction to people with lighter eyes stems from the taboo of staring into blue eyes, blue souls. It’s an odd exotification of blue eyes. In addition, looking into others’ eyes while...
I LOVE RAMONA AND FEDERALISM FUNK

Aunt: Do you have a girlfriend yet?

Yo, I just saw the website for Rocky Anderson (thanks Quique) and he seems like a really awesome candidate.

This was a 16 year study on a county-by-county basis. Rather than an increase in unemployment (as so many big business advocates and libertarians would have you believe), it did nothing to unemployment, but rather decreased employee turn over. The poorest people in those counties were better paid, had a higher standard of living and kept their jobs longer- all because the...
I doodle in my notebook. I think that’s my way of being artistic. At the end of my classes, my notes look like someone vomited Hangeul and Japanese kana and kanji. It’s great.

Soo… I originally thought that it was only my Mondays and Tuesdays that ran straight from 9 AM from 10 PM with no gaps, but… it’s slowly becoming that Wednesdays and Thursdays are following the same pattern. I’m getting really upset because I barely have any time to study and I have presentations coming up and applications to fill out and the conference...

ugh I hate it when I almost misgender people
sometimes when I accidentally misgender cis people I don’t feel apologetic (especially cis men), but damn the last thing I want to do is refer to a trans/non-binary person with the wrong pronouns…
ladyatheist:
I have to say, I do find the way the media and public has been handling these attacks on reproductive health annoyingly cissexist. Is it really so hard to mention that trans* and nonbinary people are affected by these laws too? Why are we erasing the very existence of these people? Even among feminists this seems like the “cool” thing to do.

I swear some of these rich white kids do not understand basic etiquette we colored folk were told to understand as kids.
also why is it that the douchey smokers can’t smoke away from buildings
like really the law is 30 feet from the building perimeter and you are like literally 5 feet from the building and its perimeter
white people who are clearly unaware of how much space they take up on the sidewalk

amillionexpectations asked: If I met you in real life, I'd be all, "hey, you're the cool tumblr person!" Then I'd tell you what an awesome, intelligent and passionate person you seem. Then we'd go talk about hot men over coffee (hot chocolate for me with marshmallows).

New Mexico governor Susana Martinez’s life just got significantly less fabulous: her hairstylist, a gay salon owner, has refused to style her hair until she stops opposing gay marriage. Depriving a Republican of the services that keep her looking like a modern June Cleaver is an act of defiance louder than a thousand...
