there is witchcraft in your lips @holyinflowers - Tumblr Blog

So, just to clarify, I reblog/post a lot of things I deem beautiful and/or important! 😊

It might not be everybody's cup of tea but oh well.

If you want to check out anything I post personally or just things I really love, I use the tag #holyinflowers

🌺🌺

If I like anything or want to share it with The Orangery Literary Society (because I think you guys will like it!) then I will tag it with #the orangery literary society

Please bear with me as this a new blog and I am still sorting it out! 😊

The thing about this is that sculptures like these in art history were for the male gaze. Photoshop a phone to it and suddenly she’s seen as vain and conceited. That’s why I’m 100% for selfie culture because apparently men can gawk at women but when we realize how beautiful we are we’re suddenly full of ourselves…

Girls don’t let anyone tell you loving yourself is vanity.

“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.” ― John Berger, Ways of Seeing

Middle age women using the president’s gym:

A lot of of families and women were outside the president’s place 😅

Trans and enby people have been a fucking constant presence at the protest village and every protest for the last fifteen fucking fucking weeks!! Anyone trying to erase them is going to get personally curb-stomped by me!!!

Also:

These nuns had their own encampment at both Gotagogama and Mainagogama, and I think in Kandy as well, bringing food to feed low income people and conduct interfaith events with Muslim imams and Buddhist priests. They were some of the first on the frontlines, even defying Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith back when he was supporting the Rajapaksas. They also formed a human barrier in front of the Inter-University Students Federation march back in May, when the cops hammered iron spikes and barbed wire into the barricades to impale the kids if they pushed forward.

So many female journalists have been leading figures in the local news coverage on the ground at all hours of the protests (Roel Raymond from Roar, Namini Wijedasa, Uditha Jayasinghe, Meera Srinivasan) , but 23-year-old Sarasi Pieris was one of the youngest, with NewsFirst crew who were providing the best live TV coverage of the front lines yesterday. She became something of a protest icon over the course of the day until this happened:

They stayed for hours in front of the PM’s house amid the Special Task Force tear gassing and firing at protestors until they started outright hunting the journalists and attacking them. Sarasi is screaming “PLEASE DONT HIT US SIR, SIR PLEASE DON’T HIT US!” in the video. She, her cameraman Waruna and others are still in hospital. Roel had to fucking hide until they could get her out of there. SO PUT SOME GODDAMN RESPECT IN THEIR NAMES.

And then visit this video:

Those are both men and women making a communal kitchen out of the Prime Minister’s official residence!

These are only two among the many families who were there, but these are also women and girls and they are the most overlooked and dismissed, even though they are the ones who suffer the most. Women are always wherever men are, whether cis or trans, along with every other gender. We are only invisible when no one cares to look.
