had a fucking hilarious dream that tumblr replaced the "block" function with the far funnier "glock" function, which did the exact same thing except whenever anyone blocked you a random bullet hole, like a png of a bullet hole, would appear on your blog. discourse blogs were unreadable bc you'd go to the page and the sheer amount of bullet hole pngs stacked over the blogs obscured everything. I woke myself up laughing

By the way, if any of you, like me, are nerds who love maps, I highly recommend checking out the Turgot map. I won't link it or tumblr will eat this post, but you can find it just by searching Wikipedia - it's an incredibly detailed 3D map of Paris made in the 1730s, and by "incredibly detailed," I mean

incredibly

incredibly

INCREDIBLY

DETAILED!

Look, there's Notre Dame! Individual trees! Individual lampposts! Individual boats!! (Some of them even have little people in lol, though clearly not to scale)

The full scan is over 35,000 pixels wide, guys! That's over 10 feet of map!! All drawn and engraved by hand! I'm freaking out a little! What an absolutely amazing piece of history & art!

I thought, that I've never been in the closet, but it turns out, that one must come out officially. Interviews with you after the medal race weren't a breakthrough for me. I had talked about it [having a girlfriend] before, but for some reasons it wasn't published.

If you knowingly keep information from a sex partner because you believe it will determine how they consent to you, then it’s rape by deception, it doesn’t really matter what “it” is.

The most recent quilt my mother made. The darker colors in the first picture are the underside of the quilt. And check out the stitches - little leaves on a vine!

So I was back in Mandarin class and the teacher let us know that in ancient times sometimes they wouldn’t even give their girl children names. Their attitude was why bother getting attached to her when she’s just going to grow up and belong to someone else? She doesn’t need her own identity because she is the property of her future husband. If they needed to refer to a woman they would say that’s Wang’s wife. In the same way you would say oh, that’s Wang’s car or Wang’s house. Let’s remember that we give names to dogs, horses, ships and buildings but some human women don’t deserve such recognition. She also touched on sex-selective abortion for a bit and it was all in all a pretty sad discussion today.

I was really moved but it felt like everyone else didn’t care or thought that stuff doesn’t matter because it doesn’t happen anymore. And yet even now women’s identities are being erased when they get married. Their personal history and family ties are untraceable because they are “adopted” into their husbands family. It’s disgusting and I hate that its so nomalized and I hate that even women’s names are not our own. We might as well never have been given names in the first place.

just found out that there were terms equivalent to femme and butch in Korean language used within the lesbian community during the 1970s-80s; 

Lesbians in Korea at the time would often refer to themselves and each other as 치마씨 (chima-sshi = Ms Skirt) or 바지씨 (baji-sshi = Ms Pants) depending on how they presented themselves. Those in between were called 반바지씨 (banbaji-sshi = Ms Shorts) ! my heart feels tenderized.

I always get so fucking mad when I remember that it’s actually a 16-year-old Algerian girl who influenced BOTH Picasso and Matisse. and. No one gives a rat’s ass about her work which was very focused on women and nature. History -or people dare I say- didn’t bother to remember her name because she was a young Algerian woman and no one cares about Maghrebi/Arab women. unlike P*casso & M*tisse who both became legends, almost gods both during their lives and after their deaths, no one knows her.

Her name was Baya Mahieddine.

My mom made a rainbow quilt. Happy pride!

Anti queer? Lol. Most "terfs" are lesbians or bisexual. Just because we dislike the word queer doesn't mean we are "anti-queer." You are SUCH a bad liar.

Also, if you hate Terfs so much stop tagging your idiotic posts with "terf positive" and "terf safe". Fuck off with your entire life.

Terfs endanger children with their anti queer cult
