“Taking Up Space” one of my fave from the series. Every Body has the right to take up space. Feeling eyes making conclusions about who you are. We are flawless believe that. . . #colormyflaws #bodypositive #bodypositivity #cellulite #fat #fatpositive #booty #thickthighs

Stop looking for “closure” with people who aren’t keen on giving you it. If they had something to say to you they would’ve already said it. Don’t leave open doors in a closed relationship because you hope they might come back to give you some clarity. The clarity will never come. They’ve made a choice every day to wake up and not contact you, so why leave yourself available to abandonment?

Here’s the link to all of the free online classes offered by Harvard:

But TBH I prefer the MIT Open Coursewear approach. Feel like taking a class on the policy and economics of nuclear engineering? MIT’s got you covered:

https://ocw.mit.edu/courses/find-by-topic/#cat=engineering&subcat=nuclearengineering&spec=nuclearsystemspolicyandeconomics

In fact they’ve got  you covered with A LOT of their courses, everything from fine arts to immunology.

Have fun :)

Want it All

[beachdeath]

so essentially a man with a gun walked into a public library in texas during a Drag Queen Story Time event, accusing librarians of allowing “homosexuals” to “molest children.” thankfully, he never actually made it to the room where the event was being held, and he was arrested and charged with trespassing. 

i am very sad and scared but also very proud of the librarians and drag queens and authors who are literally putting their lives on the line to teach kids that it’s okay to be different. anyway: 

1. if you want to donate to the houston public library to support Drag Queen Story Time, you can do that here. 

2. if you want to support dennis arrowsmith, the queer author whose book was being read at the event, you can buy it here. 

3. if you want to send a message of support to regina blake-dubois, the drag queen who performed at the event, her twitter is here. 

4. if you want to send a message of support to trent lira, the librarian who organizes Drag Queen Story Time in houston, his twitter is here.

Iron Man is genuinely the worst superhero because imagine what a guy like that would be like in real life.  imagine if Elon Musk had a martyrdom complex and was subsidized by the US government to beat people up

Spill: Scenes of Black Feminist Fugitivity (2016)

In Spill, self-described queer Black troublemaker and Black feminist love evangelist Alexis Pauline Gumbs presents a commanding collection of scenes depicting fugitive Black women and girls seeking freedom from gendered violence and racism. In this poetic work inspired by Hortense Spillers, Gumbs offers an alternative approach to Black feminist literary criticism, historiography, and the interactive practice of relating to the words of Black feminist thinkers. Gumbs not only speaks to the spiritual, bodily, and otherworldly experience of Black women but also allows readers to imagine new possibilities for poetry as a portal for understanding and deepening feminist theory.
