My bearded dragon is actually a tiny eccentric art collector. She has all of the tiny art. The bearded dragon community is in awe of her collection, but she's a recluse and declines media attention. As we speak, a tiny team of reptile art thieves are planning a tiny heist.

I commissioned my friends to make art because I had my going-out budget from the pandemic to burn and I am friends with and have worked with many artists who are struggling in today's economic climate. If any of this art made you happy, PLEASE check out the creator! Many of these folks are queer and/or PoC and/or members of marginalized genders, and all of them could use any love and support y'all want to throw their way ❤️

“I am often asked what keeps me going after all these years. I think it is the realization that there is no final struggle. Whether you win or lose, each struggle brings forth new contradictions, new and more challenging questions. As Alice Walker put it in one of my favorite poems: I must love the questions themselves as Rilke said like locked rooms full of treasures to which my blind and groping key does not yet fit.”

― Grace Lee Boggs, Living for Change: An Autobiography

How White Women Are Responsible for the Confederate Monuments We Have Today

Because their interests were seen as apolitical, white women in the South were able to advance an insidious, racist agenda long after the Civil War had ended.

Oh 

Read this 👆🏾

Historically they have been just as involved in upholding white supremacy and racism as their male counterparts.  

Theres an article about MODERN alt right women

Many of these women came into the alt-right initially as anti-feminists. “They were people who felt that the feminist progressive agenda was not serving them — in some cases they felt like it was actively disregarding them because they wanted more traditional things: home, family, etc.,” she says. “And they came into the movement through that channel and then ultimately adopted more pro-white and white nationalist views.”

I doubt this will get much traction on here, but Puerto Rico’s governor has just passed Código Civil (Civil Code) that has loopholes regarding women’s and LGBT+ rights. This code was passed despite activists’ call for a veto, and was intentionally speedily passed so that public hearings would not take place

In a nutshell, women’s bodily autonomy has the potential to be restricted which can take away their right to abortions, and the discrimination bans against the LGBT+ community are able to be overridden. 

5 trans people have died violently in Puerto Rico since the beginning of 2020. 

I ask my followers and mutuals to please reblog. There is so much going on in America today and this is one thing to add. There are protests for #BlackLivesMatter in Puerto Rico and a significant black community there. As an Afro Latina and a member of the LGBT community, I ask you to spread this and help.

[ajisaihora]

Here is additional information!!

Another thing is, Governer Garced wasn’t even elected by the people of Puerto Rico. She was the Secretary of Justice, and was put in office after Governer Rosselló resigned.

She has claimed that with the passing of this new civil code, that no rights were taken away.

In a sense, that’s correct. No rights were taken away *explicitly*. The new code is way too up to interpretation and those loopholes are the cause of the harm placed on women’s and LGBT rights.

For example, although the women of Puerto Rico have the right to control their pregnancy, they declare the unborn fetus to have rights as well. Much of the changes on the code directly contradict each other and therefore Puerto Rico is taking a step back in their civil rights.

[ajisaihora]

I ask people to please reblog this version!!! There is more info here and people are getting confused that the code directly takes away rights, when really it just has loopholes and allows readers and people in power to interpret it in a way that helps their political ideals. This has the potential to become worse, so please be informed!!!

As for people asking how they can help, the best thing that you can do is to reblog, retweet, and spread. Please just let us LGBT Puerto Ricans know that you are with us, you care for us, and you see us.

For people who want to go a little further, here is a donate link to an Puerto Rican LGBT+ organization dedicated to providing counseling, therapy, and help towards all orientations and gender identities. https://www.centrolgbttpr.org/donar/

If you want to help Puerto Rico as a whole, you should know that the many effects of Hurricane Maria are still affecting Puerto Rico’s people. This is an ongoing relief fund that has almost reached it’s goal. https://www.globalgiving.org/projects/hurricane-maria-caribbean-relief-fund/

I have yet to find any organizations that focus donating money to on #BlackLivesMatter in Puerto Rico. If you happen to find one on your own time, please notify me!

Side note: Please, before donating to any of these organizations, look into them first. I have read up on their sites and deem them trustworthy, but it’s important that YOU are informed to make your own decision.

Thank you all for spreading this. Black boys and girls, I see you. Puerto Rican boys and girls, I see you. LGBT+ fam, I see you.

Aesthetic: green parking lots

They improve infiltration of water to the soil, thus reducing floods by excessive drainage from soil-sealed land, and contribute to environmental and human health! Also they look pretty.

[zero-initiative]

This would be a lot better than the black, heat sink, parking lots

[brunhiddensmusings]

also easier to build/repair, and generate way less heat

A collection of classic books with new culturally diverse covers will make their debut at New York City’s largest bookstore.

To kick off Black History Month, Penguin Random House and Barnes & Noble Fifth Avenue is partnering up to give twelve classic young adult novels new covers, known as “Diverse Editions.” The books will hit the shelves on Feb. 5, and Barnes & Noble Fifth Avenue will have the books on display in their massive storefront throughout the month of February.

The following books will be on display with their Diverse Edition covers:

Alice in Wonderland

Romeo and Juliet

Three Musketeers

Moby Dick

The Secret Garden

The Count of Monte Cristo

Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Emma

The Wizard of Oz

Peter Pan

Treasure Island

Frankenstein

Each title had five culturally diverse custom covers designed to ensure the recognition, representation, and inclusion of various multiethnic backgrounds reflected across the country. The new covers are a part of a new initiative to champion diversity in literature.

Customers who can’t make it in-store to purchase a book can download the new cover online for free.

To celebrate the release of the new covers, Barnes & Noble Fifth Avenue is hosting a Diverse Editions Launch & Panel Discussion from 6 to 8 p.m. on Feb. 5. The panel, which will be moderated by TBWA North America’s Chief Diversity Officer Doug Melville, will feature key opinion leaders within the industry including bestselling author MK Asante, literary agent Nena Madonia Oshman (Dupree Miller), Cal Hunter of Barnes & Noble Fifth Avenue, and more.

Additionally, Diverse Editions of the books will be donated to libraries and schools throughout the Tri-state area at the end of the month

Attendance is free to the public, but all must RSVP beforehand. Every attendee will receive a copy of one of the books while supplies last.

I probably did a bad job looking for this but I couldn't find it on Tumblr and like... This completely blows my mind. WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA?!?! Tbh the article reads like satire but APPARENTLY IT'S NOT

This is how Bernie can still Winn

[fandomsandfeminism]

Look, I dont know a lot about saints and Catholicism, but I know St. Agatha is always depicted with her breasts on a plate, and that’s sure something

[fandomsandfeminism]

Just a few more. This is a big trend. 

[royalturkeyz]

Things I learned from the comments

She’s a patron saint of rape and abuse victims

She took a vow a chastity

A low born guy demanded her to be with him and she turned him down

For this she was imprisoned and tortured. This is how she lost her breasts (details not required)

She was repeatedly raped.

The Catholic Church regards her as a virgin for her peity despite the rape. (No matter your views on virginity this is a pretty interesting statement)

She was sentenced to death to burn at the stake but was saved by an earthquake

In her holiday people make titty cupcakes

I didn’t know she existed and now I think she’s a pretty rad woman. I would hesitate calling her a protofeminist as some often do with amazing women in history but she is pretty cool. Also she’s still very relevant today as women are still treated the way she was.

[bernardberniebern]

other things i learned: damn historic artists drew a woman with her own tits on a plate with Cleavage and prominent nip nops???

[fatal-pedestrian]

When is titty cupcake day?

[fandomsandfeminism]

Today!
