This article is to inform artists on how to deal with people requesting artwork for commercial uses, especially online. I’m far from being a professional (and please take everything I say with a grain of salt, and always do more research), the information in this is gathered from…

Faery On Wheels: Sex organs are not gender... →
cydne-the-trekupine:
Cis people, do you feel that if you woke up one day with different genitals, you’d suddenly identify as the opposite sex? If your uncle lost his penis in an accident, would you call him your aunt? If your sister had to have a hysterectomy, would you call her your brother?
My mother is a woman because she feels she is a woman. My father is a man because he sees himself as...

poogs:
I am the youngest of my family. My cousin, Chris, is only three years older than me, so he was the only member of my extended family who didn’t pick on me. Despite him living in Vermont, we were best friends. We played together all the time. We’ve grown apart over the…

websnark:
We are on the far side of the San Diego ComiCon. This is a con where DC’s creators have had their most direct exposure to their current fanbase’s reactions to the New 52. In particular, they’ve heard loud and clear that the ongoing lack of gender parity both in the comics and behind the scenes creating them is, simply put, no longer acceptable….

Thumbs Up Canada
Promoting a blog for my Canadian followers, or anyone interested: Thumbs Up Canada. A social worker and gay rights activist from the Philippines, Hurly documents his experiences hitchhiking from British Columbia all the way to Newfoundland, opening dialogues about racism and homophobia with the people he meets along the way.
It’s a fascinating look at the country, through the conversations...

battlemaxace:
Ok I’m about to write a big huge long post about anime of all things, but uhh even if you don’t like anime you should check out the stuff I’m writing about here (Mind Game, Kemonozume, Kaiba, Tatami Galaxy) because it’s a far cry from Trigun or Lucky Star or whatever and is mercifully free of most of the stereotypical anime tropes. So if you’re a lover of animation in any form,...

All original characters, none of whom would really have an excuse to be going on a beach vacation together. I’m enjoying some unseasonably foggy and chilly weather while some...

manzanas-amargas asked: I'm glad you have an askbox, now, just in case I get the urge to shower you with affection on tumblr instead of elsewhere on the internet. (I think I might've had other reasons to be pleased about this, but that's the main one that comes to mind, at the moment.)

"Breast Summer Ever"
Oh hey, the results for that are out. The video of the award thingy is here, the first one as you scroll down, but long story short Avery won!
Semi-anonymous internet congratulations to Avery, and a big thanks to those among my watchers—or anywhere else—who voted.

– Tim Minchin (via myisland)
Personal aside:
Since I now have an ask box (and we are safely out of bleed-over TMI Tuesday territory), I might as well give some kind of… explanation?
This “blog” remains as impersonal as an individual feed of nothing but reblogged opinion pieces and images/videos of questionable taste can be. I don’t feel any especial urge to update all and sundry with the details of my personal life...
Watchcunch:
I recorded a solid minute of a wee male mantid cleaning himself. This may bore the shit out of some of you, but I could seriously watch this for hours. Enjoy!

These corporations, if they were individual human beings, would be locked up for life. Instead, they continue raking in the big bucks. Human rights abuses, murder, war, eco disasters, and animal exploitation keep…

This my opinion. This may turn into a discussion. If anyone in the class uses the F-word out of line, they will be taken to the principal’s office and promptly suspended without recess. Or lunch.

Most importantly, when stacked up to other countries worldwide, the facts show that we’re not some pillar of opportunity for women compared to other countries and regions, but rather saddled with our own major problems. As Flavia Dzodan wrote for Tiger Beatdown, “I think this report does a good job at showing that inequalities and injustices are a global problem and that each...

Absolutely. My tolerance for bullshit goes down, whereas the rest of the month, I abide by the rules set forth by society for socializing girls, which are, “If you don’t have something nice to say, be polite and keep the peace. No one wants to hear your...

The other day, I’m driving around the beautiful city of Venice, on my way to Santa Monica, when I see this poster on a bus-stop:

cctcd:
As it is, heterosexism and cissexism run rampant in much of mainstream society. We see it everywhere, from our media to our laws and business practices, from our religions to what our peers say on twitter. A great deal of it is so subtle and established that people don’t even blink…
