queerbrownxx:
As LGBT people (esp. members of marginalized groups: women, people of color, transgender, disabled etc), we all need to do a better job of telling our own stories, and in effect, writing ourselves (back) into history. As I learned from this experience, we’re not just at risk of being completely ignored by mainstream media, but about having our history being talked over, our...

Is sexual expression and feminism incompatible?
lenachen:
Well, you know what? Trying to be less sexually expressive in hopes of putting an end to sexual objectification is a lot like promoting censorship in hopes of putting an end to violent pornography.
…
So why should I, as a woman who actually is in control of my sexuality, take one for the team and shut the hell up? Isn’t that a double standard? When it comes down to it, I simply...

Medical People
nostrich:
This whole kill yourself if you’re a smoker thing got old, like, years ago, you guys. On behalf of every smoker on the planet that is smart enough to know the risks, those in the medical profession included, I would like to say this: go fuck yourself. My smoking is my business, not yours.
THANK YOU.

jennabee:
This is sad, but some nights I would rather not put on makeup and get dressed up cute — and instead just stay home and get drunk and talk on AIM with other drunk people. Y’all should try it sometime — and if you’re ballsy enough, you can look at all the stupid shit you’ve said in the morning and, on occasion, examining conversations like these can be a good first step toward organizing...

itscastro:
As of today at 06/07/08 at 08:06am have decided to quit smoking and smoked my last cigarette ever. I can’t really explain why I’m posting this struggle on Tumblr, but I realized that I’m sure some of the individuals following me must be smokers also. As a 19 year old woman I’ve decided that this is the best decision for me and have decided to have a healthier lifestyle....

I can hear my heartbeat in my headphones
I’ve spent the past week studying and paper-writing, tripping my sleep cycle up so much that it’s come full circle so that for the first time in my life, I slept at a decent hour last night, like a normal human being with normal sleeping patterns. After a particularly brutal three-hour stint in a window-less room of the library, I decided it’d be a good idea to spike my red...
