I hope Rick Santorum goes to the zoo specifically to see the penguins and the penguin exhibit is closed.

Damn I should have said that! That’s a good one - it encompasses everything.

Woo euphemisms!
I’m working on the application for funding (well, one of them) to bring Tobi Hill-Meyer to campus in April.
But I have to make her sound, well, not like a pornographer so as to minimize the chance that the committee members will be too offended or whatever to give us money.
So I put “filmmaker” as one of her descriptors. I mean, it’s not inaccurate :-P

saintdecadence replied to your post: Chocolate-covered coffee beans will be my downfall
Those things are the fucking worst (I mean that in the best way). They combine both of my addictions and leave you hyper for ages.
I know, right? I made the mistake of thinking they weren’t working so I ate a ton… yeah. :-P

Where did you find them?!?! I love chocolate covered coffee beans, but I’m the same way, do not want dark chocolate. But I can’t find milk anywhere.
I don’t know of anywhere in Boston - I had to get them while I was in NYC. Kind of ridiculous.

Dark chocolate, or milk?
Milk. Dark is way too bitter for me. I’m basically a little kid - I like everything sweet.
Chocolate-covered coffee beans will be my downfall
But they’re so good. And energy.

Congrats(!!!!!) and also I’m sorry :/
Thanks Devyn :-). I don’t know what’s going on with my head (it’s been a while since one of these things - maybe 6ish months?) but I’m feeling more hopeful/competent!

Congratulations on your acceptance! That’s wonderful! I hope you start to feel better soon. Depression is an asshole.
Thanks! Congrats on your job offer :-D.

If some Smith alum writes a ridiculous editorial, you need not freak out! That woman is old and bitter, and isn’t an authority on college rankings. Moreover, she likely isn’t going to see your Facebook/ Tumblr campaign.

Jealous~. I wish my coast had a feminist zinefest.
From what little i know of the NW that is surprising o_O. This is the first one I’ve known of in the area- two of my girlfriend’s friends put it together so that’s how I found out. Do you make zines?

special-k-art said: what makes me sad is that for a long time there has been a blog specifically for fat trans people called “transfats” and now they’re probably gonna get flack for something they don’t even agree with
Ugh I didn’t think about that. It’s a great pun and a great site so I hope not :-/

The Tumblr SJ community disagrees about a lot of...
… like who should be centered in the reproductive justice movement, the merits (or not) of Lady Gaga, the specific roles of an ally, the use of trigger warnings, etc….
But I’m glad there’s something we can all agree on and mobilize around: our mutual distaste for terms like transethnic, transabled, and transfat.

I love the implication that trans people aren’t really the gender they identify as, they just ~*~perceive~*~ themselves to be. As an honest-to-god fatty and a trans woman, can we give this a collective “FFFFFFFFFFUCK YOU”?

hufflepug replied to your post: So apparently besides transethnic and transabled there is now “transfat” and “cisfat,” meaning that you are not fat but perceive yourself as such, and you are fat, respectively

I got accepted to do the e-LOLA conference put on by the National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health! They liked me!

I don’t think hitting kids is okay.
I don’t think that you’re OMG A HUGE RACIST if you’re not down with corporal punishment or that ALL PEOPLE OF COLOR HIT THEIR KIDS (I am living evidence of this not being the case).

There are a lot of posts I keep seeing today about spanking kids as a form of punishment.
Did something happen to start this conversation, or…?
