Well, after months of only being able to access my blog through my phone I’ve made a new one. I’ll be adding to it, including some entries from this blog, regularly from now on. After next week this blog will no longer be used.
I’d love it if you’d keep following me on my new blog!
Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio in Titanic (1997)
Okay so I’m really excited about this!
The dream of finding a nude underwear that isn’t terrible may finally be at my very fingertips!
They’re adorable and pretty affordable, selling at $18-$22.
Check them out at www.naja.co
(Shout out to Catalina Girald & Gina Rodriguez!)
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Will never not add this commentary when I see folks post about Naja.
Support them!! They are one of the few fashion brands with a commitment not to use sweatshop labor.
In fact, the people who make their bras and panties are women! They are often single moms or heads of their household. Naja offers free assistance for education and day care for the children of the women working for them. Conversely, Victoria’s Secret used prison labor for many years. Now, they likely contract with a sweatshop or other unsafe factory facilities.
Support Naja! So they can continue to support WOC in more ways than one!
Awesome! Hopefully they can expand enough as a business to make stuff above a DDD.

have you ever SEEN a more bountiful search
“We want to be accepted just the way we are.“
These black women react to protests over natural hair in South Africa.
Black people in SOUTH AFRICA. Fighting to be black in SOUTH AFRICA like white people what’s your problem fr fr?
It’s funny how straight hair is seen as normal when the first humans most likely had afro textured hair.
They absolutely did
“But it’s just hair”
Anti black racism & misogynoir are global institutions that affect the very being of black women & girls down to every strand of our hair.
Reblogging because I just learned that Miss Norma passed away in her bed inside the RV on Friday, September 30th, 2016. A family member said, “Life is a balance between holding on and letting go,’ and it looks like Norma had a great understanding of how to do both.
R.I.P., Miss Norma!!!
I heart Norma with soooooo many hearts.
Give her all of the cakes.

You know what absolutely boggles my mind? That healthy people exist. Genuinely healthy people. No mental illness, no physical illness, no chronic illness. Just healthy. What a life that must be.
This fucks with my head though. There are people who get up and feel… Awake, and then they go and just… Do their adult responsibilities without feeling anxious or upset? They just return phonecalls? Answer calls from unknown numbers? Don’t procrastinate doing important things until is a huge problem that makes you cry??
That sounds fake.

I learned about the murder of Kitty Genovese in two separate psychology classes, at two separate universities. It was studied as an example of the “bystander effect”, which is a phenomenon that occurs when witnesses do not offer help to a victim when there are other people present.
I was told by my professors that Kitty Genovese was a 28-year-old unmarried woman who was attacked, raped, and brutally murdered on her way home from her shift as manager of a bar. I was told that numerous people witnessed the attack and her cries for help but didn’t do anything because they “assumed someone else would”. Nobody intervened until it was too late.
What I was not told was that Kitty Genovese was a lesbian who lived more or less openly with her partner in the Upper West Side and managed a gay bar.
Now… is it likely that people overheard Kitty’s cries for help and ignored them because they thought someone else would deal with it? Or, perhaps, did they ignore her because they knew she was a lesbian and just didn’t care?
Maybe that’s not the case. Maybe it was just a random attack. Maybe her neighbours didn’t know she was gay, or didn’t care.
But it’s a huge chunk of information to leave out about her in a supposedly scientific study of events, since her sexuality made her much more vulnerable to violent crimes than the average person. And it’s a dishonour to her memory.
RIP Kitty Genovese. Society may only remember you for how you died, but I will remember you for who who were.
this was one of the first lessons I had in psych too and we were never told about this either nor was it in any of the reading materials
I never knew this.
I also never knew this about Kitty Genovese, but I do know that, in fact, many of the dozen (not thirty-eight) people who witnessed some part of the attack (which took place after 3AM, on a chilly night in March when most people’s windows were closed) tried to help in some way.
One shouted out his window for the attacker to leave her alone, which did successfully scare the man off temporarily.
Another called the police but, seeing her still on her feet, said only that there had been a fight but the woman seemed to be okay.
And when Kitty Genovese was finally attacked in a vestibule where she couldn’t be seen from outside, Karl Ross, a neighbor, saw what was happening but was too frightened himself to go to her rescue–so he started calling other neighbors to ask what he should do. Eventually one of them told him to call the police, which he did, and the woman he called, Sophie Farrar, rushed out to help Kitty even though she didn’t know whether the attacker was gone.
Kitty Genovese died in the arms of a neighbor who tired to help and comfort her while they waited for the police and ambulance to arrive. Kitty was in fact still alive, although mortally wounded, when the ambulance reached the scene.
The man who saw the final stabbing? Who panicked and called other neighbors first instead of the police? The man who said, infamously, that he “didn’t want to get involved” because he was reluctant to turn to the police for help? He was thought to be gay himself. He was a friend of Kitty and Mary Ann’s. After being interviewed by the police he took a bottle of vodka to Mary Ann and sat with her, trying to comfort her.
So, no. I don’t think the evidence indicates that Kitty Genovese’s neighbors let her die because she was a lesbian, because Kitty Genovese’s neighbors tried to help.

(Also, going by the content of the murderer’s confession, it was indeed a random attack.)
how on EARTH was this “scientifically” studied but the details gotten so wrong and the wrong as hell conclusion published and taught in schools?!?!?! where were those scientists observation skills?! on vacation?!
How to take facts and turn them into an urban legend that gets taught in schools: Make a bad made-for-t.v.-movie about it, watch it, believe everything the movie says, annnnnnnd go! That’s how it gets taught as this supposed “scientific study.” Someone got fucking lazy.
Spread the real deal, kids.
A book about this, “No One Helped”: Kitty Genovese, New York City, and the Myth of Urban Apathy, won the Lambda Literary Award for LGBT Nonfiction this year! if anyone wants to check it out try your local library!
Holy fuck
