Banana body and bullshit

When I started this tumblr I thought it would be about being in my body, including having my hair. Then, stuff happened. Mostly life, reblogging other shit, and swinging towards the end of the spectrum where I dunno about posting photos of myself online. So much porn-y crap follows me. I’m not anti-porn, but the dark side is big and nasty and exploitative and abusive and I got into being more protective of myself considering these motherfuckers exist.

Anyway, I do still play with the whole DIY natural hair thing a bit. I twisted it a little tonight. It is strange that I have this hair that responds to ‘natural’ advice, but I don’t claim a Black identity. Anyway. I made banana conditioner;)

“women r so impossible to understand” maybe because you 1. Refuse to see them as multifaceted people 2. Willfully misinterpret kindness as sexual willingness 3. Willfully ignore displays of disinterest and discomfort
