guys listen

mermaids would have to be dark-skinned and chubby to survive in the ocean 

water isnt a great means of protecting oneself from the sun
theyd have to be very dark if they were shallow mermaids and they didnt want to be constantly sunburnt
and they may be paler if they lived deeper in the water but theyd have to be buff and/or chubby as hell to resist the water pressure and cold of the deep sea

what im saying is pale-ass white skinny mermaids are just unrealistic

I love this tea

activists at barnard college providing “labels”, photographed by susan rennie and published in off our backs: a women’s newsjournal vol. 3 no. 6, february 1973

Wow, David Jay really time traveled back to 1973 to start inventing asexuality. 😮

This makes my heart so happy

Just for the purposes of authentication…

Here’s a link to where you can view the image in-context (you must have a jstor account, which is free if you’re okay with only reading 6 papers a month, if you do not already have institutional access). It turns out that this image, along with another, was intended to be published in the previous issue of off our backs, but was not received in time.

Here’s the article that that image was supposed to accompany (apologies for the fact that this is another jstor link). It turns out this was from an event called “Lesbian/Feminist Dialogue” that those young women (from the Lesbian Activists at Barnard) were supporting. Now, before we get the hue and cry about “they weren’t really talking about asexuality in the sense that you mean it!!!!11! they were just spitballing label ideas,” here’s what the author of the article, Frances Chapman, had to say about it:

“I attended the workshop on asexuality lead by Barbara Getz. According to Barbara, asexuality is an orientation that regards a partner as nonessential to sex, and sex as nonessential to a satisfying relationship.”

Obviously not quite the definition we used today, but decently close to it.

Swan Presentation: 

spring mornings // peach pink // antique lace // cream soda // glitter makeup // wildflowers // sea foam // melting milkshakes // sheer blouses // rococo paintings // a knife in a garter // yellow stars // clouds of tulle // sticky lip gloss // endless sleepovers // crowns of flowers and ribbons // crying with your best friend // bullet journals // feather boas // strings of pearls // a lavender bath // lit pink matches // dreamy synth pop // strawberry stained chins // ripped nylon tights // soft and breezy nights    

A non-binary presentation which may respond or relate to femininity as interpreted and/or queered by an enby, or; a presentation concerned with ideas of enby softness, enby beauty, enby loveliness, or; an aesthetic indescribable but home somewhere here

You know what? I’m tired of trying to please other people. I wanna dye my hair crazy neon colors and wear clown makeup in public!!! Life is short y’all, do what you wanna do!! Stop forcing yourself to be “normal” and “presentable” because you’re scared of what people will think!! By the time you’re old and wrinkly you’re gonna regret not being yourself and living your life how YOU want to!!!
