"I don’t believe in charity. I believe in solidarity. Charity is vertical, so it’s humiliating. It goes from the top to the bottom. Solidarity is horizontal. It respects the other and learns from the other. I have a lot to learn from other people."
- Eduardo Galeano

OH. SHIT. SON. THIS QUOTE.

Jeff Kohlver: You were coming on to me!
Hayley Stark: Oh, come on. That’s what they always say, Jeff.
Jeff Kohlver: Who?
Hayley Stark: Who? The pedophiles! ‘Oh, she was so sexy. She was asking for it.’ ‘She was only technically a girl, she acted like a woman.’ It’s just so easy to blame a kid, isn’t it! Just because a girl knows how to imitate a woman, does NOT mean she’s ready to do what a woman does. I mean, you’re the grown up here. If a kid is experimenting and says something flirtatious, you ignore it, you don’t encourage it! If a kid says ‘Hey, let’s make screwdrivers!’ You take the alcohol away, and you don’t race them to the next drink!
This movie gave me deep, deep satisfaction.
What movie is this? I must know!
Hard Candy.
YES
and how women of color are branded from birth to be WOMEN, not GIRLS or have their childhoods invaded by sexualizing “little Asian girls”

THEY’RE SO FLUFFY
Chow chows!
Better ways to labor than in a bed, on your back, hooked up to twenty or so machines.
Im thinking kneeling and sitting our my best two
I labored on the couch facing the back of it with my elbows on the back. Swinging my hips throughout the contractions while my doula performed counter pressure. Then when I delivered, I pushed on my knees with my elbows on the mattress.
Compared to my first birth on my back, it was heaven. I didn’t have to push as hard, no ‘ring of fire’, no back pain, it all came to me naturally. It was beautiful.

"Was Beyoncé attractive, sexy even? To be sure. But more than anything, she was powerful. Few things are more threatening to a male audience than a beautiful, powerful woman who doesn’t need a man, or even a male gaze. Perhaps folk didn’t consciously notice there wasn’t a single male performer on stage. But for those few minutes, there were no male voices and no male bodies in control, only women who refused to be owned. And it wasn’t women just dancing up there, though the cameras largely focused on that. The women onstage were creating, everything. They appropriated traditional male images and transformed them female ones — not women just imitating men. They were claiming roles and instruments traditionally held by men: the horns and saxophones, the pyrotechnic guitar solo. They were fierce, but refused to be masculinized or objectified."

“To everyone who’s all apoplectic about whether Beyoncé lip-synced, talk to me after you’ve gotten on stage in front of the president of the United States and hundreds of thousands of people to sing the National Anthem in 40 degree weather.” (x)
