Things Boys Say To Me

This is a blog dedicated to all the weird, silly, perverted things men say to me via social media, texting, and dating apps. This is not only an archive of texts, but a documentation of the female experience when navigating through various digital agencies in regards of love, friendship, and sexuality.

SOMETIMES THINGS HAPPEN debut next week or end of month. I've got two trips and a new job to get through first. Check out my video installation (of the same name) in Chicago next weekend though @ Yung Camelot for the DIY fest, Chicago Digital Art and Music Fest. This zine has everything from #thingsboysSaytoMe to videos to collages to catharsis in it, since it's an experiment in mind-wandering. Sorry it's been quiet on IG // tumblr, folks. Big things. #netart #feminism #poetry #collage #zine

AND THIS IS WHY BLACK GIRLS GET IRRITATED ABOUT WHITE GIRLS WEARING BLACK HAIRSTYLES!!!!

[plumteeth]

@ people I’ve talked to, friends or not who have any confusion as to why people aren’t chill with kylie and miley and whoever else wearing cornrows and dreads 

[soundssimpleright]

White people should read Malcolm X’s description of what getting a conk is like, and understand that in order to wear white hairstyles, most black people have to essentially reverse-perm their hair. When you see a black person with straight hair in real life, recognize that they’ve decided it’s worth it to regularly expose themselves to harsh chemicals in order to meet a European standard of “respectability”.

Hairstyles that we’re trained to think of as “radical” – afros, braids, dreads, etc – are just ordinary ways to comfortably manage textured hair and keep it neat. The only reason we think of these styles as “edgy” is because we think of the people who wear them as outsiders.

NEW PLANS

heyyyyy sorry it's been super quiet over here. Life happened; I went to Europe; I ran a festival. So now it's time for things to get a bit realer. I'm in the midst of starting a digital zine with TBSTM included in it. If you wanna submit material//screen shots accompanied with context in the form of 1-5 sentence explanation (or more, if necessary), a poem, an image, that would be much appreciated. Be sure to include your name or moniker or whatever as well. Thank you 💖💖💖💖💖🍤

I feel like this is a great example of racism in the media. Both of these are reporting on the same event, but TMZ portrays Nicki as the “angry black woman”. First the choose the picture that makes Nicki look like she’s attacking, while Buzzfeed used a picture taken seconds before but portrays Nicki as much less aggressive. Then TMZ goes on to use buzzwords like “explodes” and then includes “You Bitch” in the headline, all to make Miley seem like the victim and to demonize Nicki. It’s the little things like this that change the story and leaves Nicki as the villain and lets Miley escape scandal unscathed. The same thing happened with Nicki and Taylor’s made-up “feud”.

radical feminism makes you think about things. it challenges you to rethink everything you have been taught. it’s kind of like unravelling a proven true conspiracy theory about your own life which can be overwhelming but truly rewarding.

it’s not meant to be apologetic, submissive and comfortable. that’s why men hate it.
