Dressed Up Like Dreams

Hi, I'm Kristin! This is where I ramble about/post things that I really like/think are important and where I discuss my interests and opinions. You can expect to see pictures, words, and discussion about psychology, feminism, social justice, books, my college education, and my life in general. Sometimes I post my writing here- usually drabbles or short poems. I have another blog that is my main blog and it's like an endless stream of all of the things I like.

hey pals, post concussive syndrome had led to me seriously contemplating opening an etsy shop for my bracelets ! (don’t worry, i’m fine, just marginally bored). these are a few of the bracelets i’ve made in the past week when i’ve had to limit my screen use to almost none.

lmk if you have any cool bracelet ideas or if you’d be interested in purchasing a bracelet!!!

i make my bracelets primarily from semi-precious stone beads, with glass and plastic beads as accents.

here we have:

pink: rose quartz & white jade

pink/red: rose quartz, morganite, amethyst, brown snowwflake obsidian

yellow/orange: citrine, red agate, and quartz

blue: lapis lazuli, larvikite, moonstone, sodalite, & turquoise

Why is it so difficult to see the lesbian – even when she is there, quite plainly, in front of us? In part because she has been ‘ghosted’ – or made to seem invisible – by culture itself. It would be putting it mildly to say that the lesbian represents a threat to patriarchal protocol: Western civilization has for centuries been haunted by a fear of ‘women without men’ – of women indifferent or resistant to male desire. Precisely because she challenges the moral, sexual, and psychic authority of men so thoroughly, the 'Amazon’ has always provoked anxiety and hatred. As the lesbian philosopher Monique Wittig has put it, 'The refusal to become (or to remain) heterosexual always meant to refuse to become a man or a woman, consciously or not. For a lesbian this goes further than the refusal of the role 'woman’. It is the refusal of the economic, ideological, and political power of a man.’ Under the circumstances it’s perhaps no wonder that so many men (and some women) have sought to see the lesbian 'disappeared.’

The First Trailer For Ellen Page’s “Gaycation” Is Finally Here, via Buzzfeed!

The first trailer for Viceland’s Gaycation, which has Ellen Page traveling to different cities around the world exploring local LGBT culture, is finally here and it’s a wild ride. The 28-year-old actor made headlines last August when she went head-to-head with Ted Cruz at the Iowa State Fair — a confrontation that appears in the upcoming series.

That tense and emotional moment is only one of many for Page and her co-host/best friend Ian Daniel as they travel from the U.S. to Tokyo, Rio De Janeiro, and Jamaica. In each episode, Page and Daniel (who is also gay) attempt to explore the ways in which different cultures deal with gender, sex, and sexuality by immersing themselves in the local LGBT community.

Filming the series proved to be a very personal and moving experience for Page, who found herself in front of the camera with no script to follow.

Gaycation will premiere on Viceland, Vice’s new TV network, Wednesday, March 2nd at 10PM.

the US gun lobby really needs to stop telling lies about australia for the sake of scaring people.

• no, ted cruz, rape incidences did not rise after we introduced stricter gun control measures.

• rifles, shotguns and handguns are actually legal to possess here. the biggest changes we introduced in the national firearms agreement were, amongst other things, a 28-day waiting period for a gun license, a national firearm registry, and compulsory secure storage for guns. ammunition must be stored separately to the weapon.

• people are required to have a “genuine reason” for possessing firearms to obtain a license here. that means most people with gun licenses are hunters, work for the government to cull invasive species of animals, etc.

• our rate of gun homicide has halved since the introduction of the agreement (as of 2012, it’s 30 a year).

• we have had no mass shootings since.

[lesbophobes-deactivated20220907]

tl;dr you actually don’t have to take away people’s guns to achieve something like this. people need to stop freaking out about it.

Unpopular opinion

Caitlyn Jenner is absolute trash.

Not because she is trans, no, not for that.

She is trash because she hit and killed someone while texting and driving and got away with it.

Not only did she commit vehicular manslaughter but she was also awarded the Woman of the Year award for doing nothing.

Compared to the other women, the actual heroines, on the list she didn’t do shit (besides kill someone).

She even beat out Malala Yousafzai.

The girl that took a bullet for a woman’s right to an education.

Caitlyn is trash and honestly there are much, much better people in the trans community that should be rallied around.
