hoping this tumblr serves as a journey of my life. the images i post are usually images that are in alliance with my beliefs, politics, or values. Or perhaps they are so striking to me that i just have to post them. I hope you enjoy! I hope you follow, reblog, and give me thoughts, questions and opinions!


Ask me whatcha want!

Dear Coquette: On giving feminism a bad name.

YOU CALLED FEMINISM A ‘NARROW-MINDED BELIEF SYSTEM’? Haha.

It’s funny that you think you’re being ‘open-minded’ by watching porn. Wow, what a free spirit! Succumbing to the objectification of women, the assigning of gender roles and misogyny!

WELL FUCKING DONE.

You idiot.


Capital…

“ Genuine love is rarely an emotional space where needs are instantly gratified. To know love we have to invest time and commitment… Dreaming that love will save us, solve all our problems or provide a steady state of bliss or security only keeps us stuck in wishful fantasy, undermining the real power of the love — which is to transform us. bell hooks  (via transformfeminism)

homoarigato: [tw: cissexism/trans* erasure] Seriously:

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

jazzagefaerie:

  • Some trans* people are stealth.
  • And that’s okay.
  • Some trans* people are open about the fact that they’re trans*.
  • And that’s okay.
  • Some trans* people are closeted, or are only out to a handful of people whom they really trust.
  • And that’s okay.
  • Some trans* people will…
