“What an astonishing thing a book is. It’s a flat object made from a tree with flexible parts on which are imprinted lots of funny dark squiggles. But one glance at it and you’re inside the mind of another person, maybe somebody dead for thousands of years. Across the millennia, an author is speaking clearly and silently inside your head, directly to you. Writing is perhaps the greatest of human inventions, binding together people who never knew each other, citizens of distant epochs. Books break the shackles of time. A book is proof that humans are capable of working magic.” Carl Sagan (via sugaryumyum)

“I think to some people this is a big, messy, grey world but at least there are some sharp distinctions, like the distinctions between gender and sexual orientation and those are just lines that should always be hard lines. But saying that simplicity is natural is idiotic because the most natural thing in the world is complexity, and gender and sexual orientation are proven over and over again to not be firm lines. The whole world is grey and if you just appreciate that, if you just understand and appreciate that, it’s beautiful.” Hank Green (via yeahhohyeah)

It's just sex: Let's talk about a bara-cotter

itsjustsex:

Anonymous: female/straight, what’s the best way to shave/wax/otherwise manage a lady bush?

I get this question a lot, and I’ve finally decided to tackle it. Keep in mind my response may be a bit long, but that’s because there’s so much to talk about. These are also my opinions, and some methods…

“I’m not ashamed to dress ‘like a woman’ because I don’t think it’s shameful to be a woman.” -Iggy Pop

Iggy pop is such a bad ass. There’s an interview I watched where his manager talked about having to bail him out of jail. The manager shows up and Iggy is drunk, disorderly, and wearing a dress. His manager asked “Ig, why are you wearing a womans dress?” and Iggy replied “I beg to differ, this is a mans dress.”

^ It’s like Eddie Izzard says - ‘They’re not women’s clothes. They’re my clothes. I bought them.’

Fuck chub rub.

Fuck wearing shorts under dresses.

Fuck worrying about whether someone can see that I’m wearing shorts under my dress.

Fuck bike shorts that are too short or too big.

Fuck trying to think about how to discreetly adjust ill fitting bike shorts while walking down the street.

Fuck failed DIY concoctions slathered between my legs.

Fuck buying expensive products just to see if they’ll work.

Fuck stained dresses with anti-chub rub goo applied too liberally.

Fuck not talking about chub rub because it’s shameful or impolite or inappropriate.

Fuck femininity that puts women’s bodies on display while erasing the actual experiences of those bodies.

SO RELEVANT TO MY LIFE. I’m looking forward to the cooler months because tights require so much less effort.
