On our way to get burritos after a band gig, a few of my bandmates spotted this yarn-bombed bicycle outside a bike shop. Had to get a couple pictures of the wooly rainbow glory.
As a bonus, I’m wearing a shirt from my college’s Queer Resource Center while sitting astride the lovely rainbow yarn-bike. Knitting, cycling, street music-making queer folks unite!

10 illustrations for a series created for a college project. The project is entitled fairytale femmes and explores my interpretation of different characters in children’s books and fairytales. Can you guess which one is meant to be which?

The only reason I’d want to be famous is for the free food.

Filmmaker Brings Attention To A Latina Soldier Who Fought In The U.S. Civil War
The U.S. military may have recently lifted the ban on women in combat, but Loreta Velazquez, a wealthy Cuban planter’s daughter who immigrated to New Orleans in 1849, secretly fought in the U.S. Civil War 150 years ago — first as a soldier in the Confederate Army, and later as a Union Army spy.
I wrote a post about this woman last year! PBS will be airing a documentary on her life today (May 24).
Holy shit this is awesome.

I’m seeing more people with “tigan” in their URL.
I’m assuming that they’re Google translating words for “Gypsy” because the URL they wanted was taken.
If you are not Rromani or you’re not Rromani from certain parts Continental Europe, then don’t use that word.Don’t use ANY variation of that word.
IT’S WORSE THAN “GYPSY” YOU FUCK WITS.MOST RROMANI WON’T FUCKING TOUCH THAT WORD WITH A 10 FOOT POLE, IT’S THAT OFFENSIVE.
IT LITERALLY MEANS SLAVE.

I don’t think you’re ready to have this conversation with me, I have a lot of thoughts on Trollboobs.

“Wearing a hijab isn’t inherently liberating – but neither is baring one’s breasts. What is liberating is being able to choose either of these things. It’s pretty ludicrous to think that oppression is somehow proportional to how covered or…
