This makes me sick to my stomach.

As disturbing as this is, I think it’s important to give these women voices.  They are survivors.

[ohdearhermione-blog-blog]

This is just horrible

[littlemermaidtears]

This made me cry.

[writingsforwinter]

I know I’m a writing blog, but that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t have a voice when it comes to this.

Sharing this is so important.

Don’t give a woman or a man tips on how to avoid rape.

Just tell people not to rape instead.

[ululantes-blog]

that second to last one just epitomises female independence for me. it’s just so “fuck you you can’t break me” incredible women.

[miathewished4]

Damn…This just sent me back into the fictional world of this book that I’m reading.

This was just too much reality for me right now…as a survivor of rape myself.

I just can’t deal right now…

Damn

You painted a naked woman because you enjoyed looking at her, put a mirror in her hand and you called the painting “Vanity,” thus morally condemning the woman whose nakedness you had depicted for you own pleasure.

This is super fucking relevant.

And why self portraits (selfies) are often such an act of self preservation and resistance.

selfies as politics, hell yeah.

#it’s okay to follow creepshots but when a celebrity’s nudes are leaked she’s a slut #it’s perfectly normal to watch objectifying porn but when a woman decides to film herself having sex she’s a whore #it’s alright for you to harass women on the street but when they approach you first it’s arrogance #it’s cool for you to fantasize about a woman who’s out of your league but when a woman you deem unattractive likes you you’re disgusted #no don’t worry you can make female bodies public property but when they discuss your masturbation habits you can be offended

This is Flaco Shalom.

Visual artist. Detroiter. And owner of The Untitled Bottega—a midtown Detroit gallery that’s redefining what it means to be an art exhibition space. 

The facilities are large, unfinished, and uncurated. Flaco and his team are doing the interior construction themselves and welcome art of any expression or medium. The Bottega is currently home to two hip hop concert series: The Foundation and The Crack House. And host to a collection of other events.

A typical day there looks like the ultimate haven for today’s young artist, and often includes pizza, beer, and several hookahs. There are always a few of Flaco’s creative collaborators screening tees or dry-walling or yelling obscenities at each other. Trae Isaac is usually in some corner earphones on, head bopping, painting a new piece. Flaco, a Marvel movie, and a wet canvas are in the back room. And, of course, there’s the sweetest pit bull ever: Whiskey.

Pour in the support, and keep up the positivity.

Marcus Books, the legendary (one of the oldest Black owned Book stores in the entire US) is in trouble of closure. First started in SF, then opening a branch in Oakland…I along with countless young people of all races trekked to this store, probably first as a child with my mother, then as a college student at SFSU studying Egyptology among other things, and now as a parent/adult when looking for Black picture books. Reblog this so the petition gets signed, but note that places like these are important landmarks of knowledge and self determination.

It should also be noted that Marcus Books is the only book store i know of (and i’ve called many) that has an Extensive collection of Childrens Books, Picture Books, and Comics featuring African and African American children.
