hypotheticalthalamus asked: Questions from my meme, since you asked so nicely!

1. You have a rather delightful pink-and-black fascinator. In a perfect world, one where you had every article of clothing you could possibly want, what would you wear to compliment said fascinator?

2. What is your favourite course you are taking in school this year? Why?

3. Is it true that in Australia...

Um okay

So I just noticed on today’s Daily Tennant where it says ‘Dude can pull off any item of clothing’? I totally didn’t mean it like that. Really. This has been your public service announcement for the day.

adorianmode replied to your post: Rant OTD #1 Can one submit posts from Aus/NZ blogs even if one oneself isn’t from Aus/NZ? Because if so, I’ll make a point of doing so in future. Young man, you may, and thank you kindly for it!

Rant OTD #2

I get really annoyed when people “correct” how people render their own names. If there are fullstops after initials, no need to take them out! If there are apostrophes, they belong there! If someone does not choose to capitalise their name, you aren’t rendering a service by capitalising the first letter! How is this hard to understand? Respecting someone’s name is pretty...

I don’t know if I’m just doing a bad job of coordinating the Down Under Feminists Carnival or people just do not care about supporting the community, but it’s usually two or three people per month submitting the bulk of the posts, and one of them is me. This would be so. much. easier. if we all pitched in. Why are people not submitting?!

Today I have a half a cookie, and cake, and a beautiful avocado. I am all clean and wearing my pretty new dress and will be wearing my pretty new shoes. I am going to watch a movie and then kick some arse in my English assessment. It’s going to be a great day.

“wait what I stepped out for a minute, what is this about Portland and porn spam”

– rhymeswithnothing/Xands. This is what happens when you attempt to have a conversation with me. (via challyzatb) I never found out though (via rhymeswithnothing) There was nothing more to it! Portland is rainy and Feministe gets porn spam, that was actually all. There was no deeper meaning.

rabbitarmy: without a tighter breathing…: rabbitarmy: … I often feel really bewildered by American discussions… Well and you know, being Internet Land and people speaking roughly the same English language, I think there’s a distinct tendency towards assuming that constructs like race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, disability etc are the same across regions.

rabbitarmy: Race, ethnicity, context So yeah, this is an interesting post to me. Specifically this bit, which is something that swirls around in my head a bit: Whiteness isn’t, after all, an inherent quality so much as it is an ever-changing social and cultural construct. Italians may be (mostly) Caucasian, sure, but the U.S. hasn’t always seemed too sure about where Italians...

lisaquestions replied to your post: Non-Tennant content! That presentation sounds pretty interesting. The fatigue is less so. I hope you can get the sleep you need soon. Cheers, Lisa. Woke up at 5.30 again today… And too tired to do history so I guess I’ll just faff about on the Internet before I get down to it. :)

Non-Tennant content!

I’m shocked, too. So basically this is my ridiculous day where I leave the apartment at 8 and get back at 7. It’s my last class of the day, so I am exhausted! Just got out of gender studies where I presented on post-feminism. I’m not sure how it went, (we were talking about femininity and they would NOT SHUT UP so I brought us back to intersectionality and talked about...
