my outfit and makeup turned out right this morning. I'm cocurating a major collection in january. My date was amazing. I got the wordle in one try!!
3 hours into a 6 hour march, the biggest turnout I've seen since moving here. I wasnt even tired, I felt energized and happy the entire day. the tourists joined the feminists, feminists joined the anti-Trump groups, and we all ended up in the massive Palestinian protest that wrapped around the entire downtown twice. got separated from my friends, collapsed in the heat and my sandals hurt my feet so the medics standing on the benches came like lifeguards with water. Abuelas were giving out empanadas at 2 checkpoints. They made sure the crowd was safe for babies in strollers, grandpas, wheelchairs, crutches. People made sure my lost purse and glasses got back to me from the street, no pushing or shoving. So many black people came out!! reminded me of my love for my new community and humanity overall <3 :')

I don't want to complain about my job all the time but I really don't enjoy curating modern art shows by white men. I understand what is available to most museums in America, but I don't enjoy working outside of female artists, black artists, or beyond my actual specialization which is in italian renaissance paintings. It's not like I couldn't learn about modern white male art but I'm really so uninterested.
a really huge proportion of "lesbians" who are clearly very sexually into men, and "bi women" who obviously aren't attracted to the male body at all are just floating through the community so you will truly never have an actual lesbian exclusive social space despite how it's advertised, like I bring my gf to lesbian things though she's into men. you can't control other people so I don't really care about it. It's just interesting to realize when someone is still clinging onto a label that theyve known wasn't accurate since they were 14 but the denial and repression keeps them from admitting they changed.
That's why I think the kinsey system is very functional. have sex with the opposite genitalia, your number goes down and with same sex sex it goes up, x for celibates. I've been a 6 forever, but I know a bi woman who has been a 6 for 8 years after marrying her wife. even in an open relationship, she was still a 6. That number gives much more useful context than the word bi does in her case.
+ Bis can range from 6 to 0 and I wouldn't want to hook up with any 0s lol.

A huuuge culture shock was realizing how east coast/southerner/midwestern black women mostly only wear their real hair like even in professional settings or museum galas they have 4c hair out or in braids, or locs, or a loose messy bun. even knotless/extension braids are rare. Or women will cut their hair, like at a barber. My gf and her mom have the same little bisexual crew cut afro, in dark blonde and grey-white. when I switched to wearing only afro extensions last summer because the humidity and sweat make leave out, silk presses, and wig glue an absolute waste of money I had the most hair specific compliments of my life. I'm still figuring out how to do my hair without relaxers and it's all a pain in the ass. but a wavy texture sew in with tiny leave out seems to work the best :/

As someone who DIDN'T go to uni (couldn't afford it, plus my chosen career path of childcare can thankfully be done without a degree and I've obtained certifications via other means) I cannot imagine wasting an opportunity like that article describes. What the fuck? It's sickening to think how many people are throwing away such an incredible chance to learn and study with university resources. What the hell
theyre not there for a career start and lectures by expert specialists, they want the college movie experience and access to parties and friends and the degree to claim the "achievement" but with minimal work. They think its high school pt 2.

The whole college students thing is actually insane to me because it's literally so true. I'm a final year BA student in the UK and the things the professor was saying in that article ring true regarding the trends i've seen across the uni here. People don't come to uni to learn - multiple of my peers have self-admitted to taking on higher education to "put off having to feel like an adult". I'm going to explode i swear to god!!
yeah it's the same here. there are no more consequences to cheating, lateness, absences, failure to comprehend the coursework, they just show up in sweats and scroll their phone and go tiktok shopping for straight As. University should be regarded as a REALLY important job in your career path, but they are treating it like a game and expect to be taken seriously
Uggghhh. The response was that she should become his live in servant and some Buddhist shit. First of all feminism will never be about one woman's individualist life decisions, it is a collective social movement to liberate all women from all men. There is nothing you do in your relationship with a man that can be feminism the same way there's no part of your morning routine that is feminism the same way that growing bodily hair is not feminism. Shut up or make a real effort to help liberate womankind.
Giving your financial rights away to depend on a man, and needing an expensive long court battle to protect your finance after he gets a new girlfriend doesn't feel good because that is an extremely stupid and precarious situation to willingly get into. Heterosexual marriages are NOT public safety nets. Having reliable income and your own bank account and paying bills in your name, is. Her feminism felt "bad" because it was already bad.
