In a classic case of taking a political opponent’s comments out of  context, some of the presidents Republican opponents are attacking  President Obama for a remark in which he said U.S. policymakers have  been “lazy” in recent decades for not creating the best environment to  attract foreign direct investment to the U.S.

To all the people who judge sex workers and say, as Tina Fey did, “We should all be better than that,” I ask: If you really cared about helping us, the poor and deluded sex workers of the world, why is your money not where your mouth is? Why haven’t you stood up and said to a sex worker, “Hey, I’ll pay your bills and pay your tuition at a university so you can get any degree you desire. I’ll help you.” I’ll tell you why you haven’t said it: Because you don’t care, you’re just looking for someone to judge. As I’m the only one who pays my bills and puts food on the table for myself and my family, I feel justified in giving you a hearty, “Fuck You!” while I’m on my way to work. I’m not afraid of your judgment and I’m not afraid to stand up for myself. I’m a sex worker for my own reasons, and not a single one of those reasons is you.

It annoys me that everyone points to Tina Fey as the most feminist woman in pop culture when she says things that are so anti sex work and slut shaming.

myverymadexistence:

The art of a mechanical face serenades
like the last train of severed echoes,
cooing the phrases, shards
stroking the back of your ear.

Each edge tugs your dress,
a child’s pleading hands tucked
into their cornea, sinking tendrils,
fog, stamped at your feet.

A pause for the moment you’ve
looked up at the ceiling, yearning
the polluted pools will evaporate.

It is dim, and your clothing begs
not to rustle.

Greased fingers yawn, soft and
wet and wrung like yesterday.

A beautiful woman is a beautiful woman, but a beautiful woman with a brain is an absolutely lethal combination.

Prabal Gurung (via katchkenda)

(via toughbroad)

It seems to me that man is equal of the gods, who sits in thy presence and hears near him thy sweet voice and lovely laughter; that indeed makes my heart beat fast in my bosom.

For when I see thee even a little I am bereft of utterance, my tongue is useless and at once a subtle fire races under my skin, my eyes see nothing, my ears ring, sweat pours forth and all my body is seized with trembling

I am paler than grass and seem in my madness little better than dead.

Sappho, on envious love (via scorpaeniform)
