Nerd Grrrl Island

I'm so glad you're here... Nerd Grrrl Island is my little space in the middle of the sea of my life. Here is my collection of things I feel are important, things I love, things I want to share, things that are FUN! Comic books, video games, and my fandoms combined with (& sometimes colliding with!) feminism, LGBTQ & neurodiversity, repro, civil, & human rights. I may have left a few things out. Oh! ツ Flowers, especially daisies, cute animals, beautiful people, often with tattoos, art, tea, quotes, pictures of tea cups with quotes, books, bookshelves, I ♥ bookshelves. Also, did I mention comic books? #WonderWoman #CaptainMarvel #SheHulk #MsMarvel #Saga & many more!!! Graphic novels & YA FTW! There's more I'm sure... THANKS FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

‘Girl Meets World’ star Rowan Blanchard speaks out about the importance of intersectional feminism

A Tumblr user asked the 13-year-old Girl Meets World star about her thoughts on “white feminism” and the notion that the movement may exclude certain marginalized groups, like women of color and non-cis/queer women. Her full response shows she understands intersectional feminism better than most adults.

i like how he points out the overt whiteness and maleness of the anti-choice movement. cause while there are people of color, women, nb people, etc. in the movement the vast, vast majority of the ones who advocate passing laws banning abortions are white cis men.

Observations: Snakes, herbs, study material. 

This was a drawing I did at the beginning of the summer as part of a daily bg challenge. I’m only now getting around to scanning the ones I did.
