Shit, I was. Will some mid-80's David Bowie posters do for now? I've got some double-sided tape and some gin.

I look like a tall, mixed Jane Lane. I know the feel.

"Intimidating" and "Striking," it's our burden as tall women. See also: Women of Color, women with short haircuts.

Usually, no, not unless I'm with someone. I've had several incidents (mugged once, locked out of my building another time) where White neighbors and refused to help me or saw me as a potential threat. Yep, after being mugged, two White men were afraid of a 19 year old girl. So no, I'm not going to put myself in a…

I agree in the sense she doesn't seem effective sometimes. Half of it is she's using language that maybe isn't the most accessible or familiar outside of feminist circles, and half of it is they're not seeing her opinion as important in the first place.

Don't forget the good ol' misogynoir in the second video as well.

I think I know that Tom Waits song.

It sickens me as a WOC to avoid it as a consumer (I mean, there are niche sites... but it's SO pervasive it's hard to avoid upsetting racial shit ON TOP OF upsetting stuff as a women in porn), so I can't imagine being not only okay in being exposed to it, but deciding that's an okay industry to take money from. "I…

Chipping in: Also, in terms of legitimate career choices (I'm talking about the porn industry here), it's one of the most openly racist. Which no one seems to mention.

I guess this is a good step for those that haven't had this revelation yet. I hope someone who hasn't had exposure to these ideas has a lightbulb moment. At the same time, this article's conclusion rings true for me:

Nah, typically right and left aligned type is typically supposed to hang, especially for something so punctuation heavy.

I'm surprised that Vogue doesn't have hanging punctuation in its design style guide.

Digging the progressive art direction.

Hell, anything to escape staring a screen and passive-aggressive client snipes.

I posted this on twitter and had a small existential crisis. Is the cool guy from the cool band I liked as a kid as crazy as everyone makes him out to be? Am I a cynical asshole for judging when he looks so happy in that picture? Wait, is that an underlying, "please-kill-me" sadness hidden in his blank smile? Is…

Interesting! In the midwest, I think it's split down the middle whether to call a stout/cider a snakebite or black velvet, and on the west coast, it's more snakebite, in my experience. In either case, you can really only order these in Irish pubs, otherwise there's a lot of weird stares and bartenders that don't know…

From Wikipedia's Black Velvet (champagne and stout):

I just had to look up what red cordial is... I can't even imagine that flavor combo.

You know what? I started off calling them that, but in certain bars they assume Black Velvets are a beer and champagne. Must be regional.
