Where The Lovely Things Are

Welcome to my blog :) Here you will find my caffeine induced rants and my sleep deprived text posts ;) Enjoy!

I get tons of messages blaming women for staying with abusive partners, so here’s a [certainly incomplete] list:

Feelings of shame or guilt (and resulting low self esteem)

Desensitization to the crimes (repeat victims may see it as a relatively normal aspect of gender relations)

Physical...

for nepalese hindus, today is kukur puja, the second day of the five day tihar festival, nepal’s version of diwali. literally meaning “worship of dogs,” kukur puja is dedicated to honouring our special relationship with dogs, who are adorned in vermillion and garlands of marigold. photos by (click pic) narendra shrestha, niranjan shrestha, navesh chitrakar, prakash mathema in kathmandu.

The best indicator of your level of consciousness is how you deal with life’s challenges when they come. Through those challenges, an already unconscious person tends to become more deeply unconscious, and a conscious person more intensely conscious. You can use a challenge to awaken you, or you can allow it to pull you into even deeper sleep. The dream of ordinary unconsciousness then turns into a nightmare.

I’m reblogging this again because I want to add that images like this are literally 100% the only reason I feel better about my body. Because when I’m having a shitty body image day, I look in the mirror and I remember that there are people who think bodies like mine are beautiful and lovely and sexy and I give myself permission to love myself even though my body is rarely reflected in mainstream media.

This is what I want to see. People that look like me. NORMAL AVERAGE BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. Why can’t I see myself the way I see these ladies?

government should be terrified of their people.

[gaywrites]

Let’s not fool ourselves — our legal wins in marriage equality, although incredibly important, don’t make our relationships any more acceptable in the eyes of the common passerby. If anything, our legal wins have only provoked the deeply homophobic to dig their heels in the sand as they’re dragged along toward equality. As we win in the court systems, we are losing in the streets. I’m not the only one who feels this way. I know plenty of same-sex couples who fear holding the hands for the possible ramifications of that small act of love. It’s not even always the threat of physical violence. Sometimes, just the stares and whispers are enough to re-closet even the most out person. But that’s exactly what it is: re-closeting. When we don’t feel safe to show love to the person we love, we are being re-closeted. The fear we feel then isn’t coming just from the likelihood of encountering homophobia but from the sensation of hiding, again, as so many of us have done in the past. Somehow the same act that is seen as affection for heterosexual couples is seen as deviant for same-sex ones. Essentially, the people who argue against same-sex PDA believe our love is different and lesser than theirs. To them, same-sex couples showing public affection is as an act of violence toward a heterosexist society that has brainwashed queer people into hiding ourselves — which is exactly why we need more PDA. Lots more.

One comic shows what a lifetime of catcalling can do to a woman

Women have tried numerous times to explain why catcalling isn’t a compliment and why no woman wants to feel as if she’s just body parts. Ursa Eyer, a New Orleans-based artist and illustrator, is the latest woman to take on the challenge. Despite what the New York Post’s Doree Lewak recently wrote, not all of women “live to strut another day,” so Eyer has drawn a personal history of her own struggles with catcalling, highlighting the longevity of the problematic trend and how it affects women and girls of all ages.

let me just say a few things about ‘all about that bass’ real quick

it’s a song about body positivity and we don’t get many of those so can we just take that into consideration please

i know people are kicking off about her using the phrase “skinny bitches” but she does follow it up with "no, i’m just playing i know you think you’re fat / but i’m here to tell you that / every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top"  she’s taken an insult commonly given to slim women and basically a said so what if you are skinny/skinny but you think you’re fat, YOU’RE STILL PERFECT 

i’ve seen shit loads of people saying it makes them feel more confident, and slim women get a ton of media reinforcing the idea that their body is perfect anyway

IT’S CATCHY AS FUCK
