Since my previous attempt didn't entirely crash and burn, I shall continue on with attempt #2.

This one has actually been a subject I've wanted to post about on my own, and this is the perfect opportunity with which to do it.

Trigger warning for rape and abuse

This is the start of something that may just end up being me blabbing on at myself, but even so, I feel it's something that I have to do.

I was (lovingly) prodded into this by my dear prellung after a series of private discussions we had through messaging one another on tumblr like the mad insomniac women that we are. It took a turn for the interesting when she challenged me with the fact that out of everything we discussed, there was clearly a restraint on my part when it came to giving my own personal views. Rather, those came out in other outlets, be it my writing or subjects I reblog on tumblr, but all in all, I keep an impersonal distance between myself and the content I post.

And you know, I get that. I declare myself, here on my own lj, tumblr, and frequently irl that I am a feminist, because, I am. There are many stances I take and beliefs I hold that I don't find myself discussing enough, especially with other women.

Which has led me to this.

I love a good discussion, and there's a lot I'd love to get into. So why not do it? I decided, every week, to have a discussion post in order to open a feminist dialogue. The topic will change every Saturday and will be focused on feminist/activist issues. It's going to get personal and messy on my part, but I welcome that. This won't be relegated to getting completely scholarly, but to be personal, because, quite frankly, I have a lot of feelings about a lot of things.

So, without further ado:



This week's post is focused on women and body image (something that I and many other women are well-acquainted with).

This post is NSFW, so head's up.

A retrospective post of the things I've made this year of which I'm most fond. Image heavy, so give it time to load.

My dear notexotic is working on a project of her own creation, titled Mischief Night. It's a project that's personal, ongoing, and ambitious, which requires certain measures. For this, she has created a dreamwidth account solely dedicated to it.

I created the front and back covers for the soundtrack, which sets the tone and mood of Mischief Night, featuring artists such as world's end girlfriend, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Damon Albarn, Swans, Sons & Daughters, among others.

Mischief Night is a love-letter to the horror genre, and I, for one, am excited to see how it progresses.

Click the link to download, which leads to its dreamwidth journal, where everything for this project will be posted. Have a look, leave a comment, and keep an eye out on Mischief Night.

Yes, those are Mélanie Laurent and Daniel Brühl. My tastes are wide and varied!

Stuff I've made and never posted/just got around now to sharing. Quite a mixed batch: Tom Waits, Chiaki Kuriyama, Thor, Grace Jones, Ben Whishaw, and Michelle Williams and Ryan Gosling.

Not much, but something.




Idk, come on in. I don't mind the company.
