It is time for a fucking revolution.

If the fashion industry thrives on newness and novelty then they are failing themselves.

If you want a ‘new twist on a classic style’ I’ve got one for you.

Make a pencil skirt for someone who is 5ft 3.

Make a white shirt that will button over my breasts.

Make a shift dress that doesn’t get ‘nipped in at the waist’.

Make a pair of shoes that won’t aggravate my ankle injury.

Make a ‘nude-coloured’ dress that is dark brown.

Make your plus-sized jeans in actual denim, not some shitty stretch fabric dyed blue.

You want a fresh take on the classics?

Try making your clothes for someone who isn’t six foot tall and a size 6.

For once.

Please.

[curxio]

oh and also make fucking steel-toed boots under the size mens 8 1/2

[talkmagically]

Make some form-fitting shirts that are thick enough to stop our bras from showing through.

Make sensitive skin-friendly buttons and clasps so we don’t have worry about the metal making us break out in contact dermatitis (that’s a localized rash that can easily become an infection, for the uninformed).

Make a long dress that is easy to go to the bathroom in.

Make a pair of jeans that actually fit in the crotch area instead of putting us at risk of a yeast infection (No “V”).

Make more dress shoes that aren’t heels.

Put more pockets in women’s clothes.

CREATE A FUCKING UNIVERSAL SIZING SYSTEM THAT MAKES SENSE.

[labelleizzy]

Every. Last. Fucking. One. Of These.

[jeanie205]

All sadly true!

This reminds me of one of the first times my husband went clothes shopping with me. I gathered up my usual armful to take into the dressing room and he eyed me with astonishment and said, “Are you going to buy all that?” Now he wasn’t complaining, mind you, he was just surpised.

I gave him the hairy eyeball and said, “I’ll be lucky if even one of these fits right and looks good. I can’t just pick a shirt or a pair of jeans off a rack and buy them because I know they’ll fit. Like you can.”

I still remember the quiet “Oh,” that came out of his mouth.

LOL. That was awhile ago. He’s learned since.

[the-floral-skeleton]

Make sweaters and jackets that actually insulate and keep us warm

Give us real flannel, not cotton knock-offs

If you’re going to sew the pocket closed, don’t even bother putting it on

[swiglit]

I would like to reiterate: GIVE 👏🏿WOMEN 👏🏿FUCTIONAL👏🏿 POCKETS👏🏿. Give us ALL THE POCKETS.

[ceraunos]

Also:

- make clothes that last for longer than a single season before they wear out

- make clothes without using sweatshops, child labour, underpaying and mistreating workers at ANY stage of clothing cycle

- make clothes using ecologically produced fabrics, and reduce the environmental impact of the clothing industry across the board

- make quality clothing accessible and affordable for all

- end the fast fashion industry

- give ! us ! a ! universal ! sizing ! system !! and ! pockets !!!

How tf does she stay this calm

[le-dreadmau5]

Because of the whole Angry Black Woman™ stereotype, the only way to be taken seriously is to be calm, collected, and concise while still speaking passionately about such topics. If she raised her voice, or let her hand move above chest level, she would’ve immediately been dismissed as an “angry black woman” who needs to “control herself” while her accurate rebuttal would’ve been thrown out the window.

Notice how her neutral pose is her hands in her lap. When she speaks about oppression, she taps her hand on the table laying out her points then back to neutral. She knew exactly what had to be done to be taken seriously.

[criticallyalexandrite]

This is why I’m not flattered when people tell me “You’re so much more reasonable and polite than those OTHER black SJW’s.”

I cannot stress how important it is to be intersectional about your feminism. listen to black women, listen to trans women, listen to disabled women, and please acknowledge the fact that there are different types of women who go through different types of struggles than you

Art by Puffygator

I’ve been asked many times what someone should look for when trying to find a good artist. The best way you can do this is to look at their portfolio, whether it’s in a book at their shop or online. If they don’t have good work in their portfolio, they’re probably not good artists.

The shop may be clean, the people there might be nice, and the design they draw up for you might be exactly what you want, but if your artist doesn’t stand up to the points listed above, then you’re going to get a bad tattoo.

It’s okay to walk into a shop, talk with an artist for a while, and decide you don’t want a tattoo from them. Even if the artist has a bad attitude about it or tries to convince you to just let them do it, remember this is going to be on your body for the rest of your life.

[unforth-ninawaters-deactivated2]

This is fucking fantastic thank you!!

[supervillainny]

So important. I had an apprentice tattoo me once without any supervision - wound up with a blurry tattoo, and a messed up tendon for a while after >:(

“Body Horror,” as an official designation, is a term that comes from horror cinema but its literary origins can be traced back as far as Frankenstein. It is a trope that springs from primal fears—from the knowledge of oneself as a physical object and the consciousness of pain—and its roots wind through the Gothic, to the fin de siècle and the birth of science fiction. As a sub-genre, it broadly encompasses the concept of bodily violation, whether that be via mutilation, zombification, possession, or disease, but arguably one of its most pervasive themes is that of transformation. From Ovid to Cronenberg, transformation occupies an anxious corner in so much of film and literature that it more or less forms a tradition all its own. Folklore and myth are littered with metamorphosis—Daphne twisting into a bay tree, Alice in Wonderland with her Eat Me’s and Drink Me’s—and its impact is frequently an unsettling one. It is a fairy-tale punishment, a warning to naughty children, a reminder of the body’s unreliability.

[…] I think that writing about women goes hand in hand with horror writing. The female body is a nexus of pain almost by design, but it is also potentially monstrous—an object traditionally subjugated, both for its presumed weakness and its perceived threat. The mutations and transformations of horror writing are uniquely qualified to evoke this: the difficulty and unreliability of the female body, its duality as an object both to be feared for and to fear.

When Daphne transforms into a bay tree, the moment is one of both horror and deliverance. She is no longer what she once was, but the metamorphosis frees her from the unwanted attention of Apollo. This duality of horror and emancipation sits, I think, at the core of female transformation. Within the horror genre (and arguably everywhere else), bodies read as female are always subject to pain, and to the threat of violation. Becoming something else—a tree, a freak, a monster—preempts this pain and reduces the risk of harm. It may even, if the transformation is the right one, allow you to cause harm in return.

If America should be punished for anything it should be that we allowed an anthropomorphized phlegm ball on tv for years and no one said anything
