I keep saying that I'll come back and do this, but I also keep... forgetting.

Something something ADHD, huh? I hope you've all been well.

Anyway, apparently, I live off Tumblr now. Life is good; I have two dogs. I work in marketing. I'm really into craft beer and I collect vinyl records. I cut off all my hair, and I make my own cold brew, and I'm... actually pretty insufferable, as a person. But I am thirty years old, and I am happy.

I'm also better -- albeit barely -- at Instagram, @stphfrndz. I'm also on Twitter at the same. Keep in touch, pals.

we have GOT to stop glorifying the ‘mystery’ of jack the ripper. he was just another violent psychopath targeting vulnerable women in a society that had already written them off. 

there are numberless men like that throughout history and I’m tired of us turning them into legends

[argentsileo]

I’ll bite, what’s the chum bucket theory?

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

it’s from this Non-adventures of Wonderella comic!

So this is exactly what New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern did after Christchurch. She refused to say the killer’s name and everyone else followed and now nobody remembers or knows who it was.

JANUARY 12: Nobuko Yoshiya (1896-1973)

Nobuko Yoshiya! Out and proud lesbian! Author of lesbian lit & stories with titles like “Husbands Are Useless”! What’s not to love about her?

Her middle-class, conservative background did not necessarily predispose her to become the lesbian icon she’s known as today, but Nobuka Yoshiya never quite seem to fit the role of the good, dutiful wife she was supposed to take on. She developed early on a love of reading and writing that came in the way of her learning domestic skills (who can relate?). When she moved to Tokyo in 1915, she started breaking away more visibly from gender norms and expectations: she adopted a more androgynous style, cutting her hair short (thus also emulating Western fashion of the 20s), she traveled extensively, and she’s recognized as one of the first Japanese women to own a car and a racehorse. She loved horse racing and golf, and designed her own house, which became the Yoshiya Nobuko Memorial Museum after her death (but if you want to go see it, make sure to plan in advance: it’s open only twice a year, in early May and November, for three days each time).

Even though she was one of 20th-century Japan’s most popular, commercially successful and prolific writers, there’s not a whole lot of scholarly work on her or translations of her writings, at least in the English-speaking Western world – perhaps because the bulk of her writing was serialized romance and teen girls’ novels, and thus not seen as a contender for the ‘serious literature’ category. Even so, she enjoyed an especially broad readership among young women; she pioneered the Class S genre – which refers to literature dealing with strong friendships and romance between schoolgirls – and was influential in developing shōjo (schoolgirl) anime, manga, and literature.

Yoshiya was in a lifelong partnership with Chiyo Monma, a math teacher in Tokyo whom she met in 1923. Their life together was no secret, and Yoshiay openly talked about it in personal essays and magazine interviews. Their relationship was both romantic and professional, as they worked together as author and secretary. Since same-sex marriage was not possible in Japan, Yoshiya adopted Monma in 1957: this was the only legal way that made it possible for lesbians to share property and make medical decisions for each other – in short, to be recognized as family for each other. Their relationship only ended with Yoshiya’s death in 1973.

(I STILL can’t get over the “husbands are useless” thing.)

Of Course

Of course you’re not online! You’re too busy having sex with someone who’s not me.

me hanging out with black people in the summer: “aye, yall don’t forget to put on sunscreen”

them: 

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

@flipflibberinflippinghell

Use the Walgreens Brand which is pretty cheap and it does wonders and doesn’t leave me with a white cast. And I’m dark as hell so I hate looking ashy but not all sunscreens are made equally and it’s one of the better ones I’ve used.

[angelic-tokkii-deactivated20220]

Wait cocoa/shea butter and coconut oil don’t protect you from the sun we really do need sunscreen??

[futureblackwakandan-deactivated]

Yea fam. All that “we don’t need sunscreen” shit is a myth. Combine that with the fact that most dermatologists don’t know how to spot skin cancer in Black people and it’s a nasty combination.

[jamaicanblackcastoroil]

Yeah, it’s harder for us to get it but when we do it’s deadly. I know two people who died of skin cancer, both were Black.

[lo-cotidiano]

“While incidence of melanoma is higher in the Caucasian population, a July 2016 study in the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology showed it is more deadly in people of color. African American patients were most likely to be diagnosed with melanoma in its later stages than any other group in the study, and they also had the worst prognosis and the lowest overall survival rate.”

Sorry about the link, I’m on mobile. But this is from August 2016, which I know isn’t the most recent but it’s still SUPER IMPORTANT. Y’all please wear sunscreen. With Google it’s even easy to find smaller, Black-owned brands.

[sensei-aishitemasu]

https://blackgirlsunscreen.com/ is Black-owned!

[laylamajandra]

I use this sunscreen from Walmart. It’s cheap, doesn’t leave a white cast, and smells pretty good.

[teaboot]

Duuuude my family uses that and it’s Soo nice it even smells good

[magicdragonkiddize-deactivated2]

Same for brown people, are skin may be dark but we do burn!

[if-i-am-not-for-me]

Everyone should wear sunscreen. No one is exempt from this for any reason, especially not due to skin color.

The sun wants to kill us all. The sun does not discriminate.
