i really wish people would remember that like… being a woman is 100% a damned-if-you-do damned-if-you-dont scenario, always. like, as a basic example: women who do not adhere to cultural markers of femininity wrt to their physical appearance are socially punished for it, women who adhere to cultural markers of femininity are socially rewarded for it but adhering to cultural markers of femininity is not some sort of easy walk in the park either. because they are oppressive and time-consuming and at times physically damaging (eg high healed shoes). and while it is understandable as a response to the dumb “femmephobia” “red lipstick is empowering me” shit and also just the personal and often painful experiences of gnc women being scorned and ostracized by feminine women, it’s sort of essential if youre gonna do real feminist analysis not write these women off as vapid handmaiden enforcers of the patriarchy and to understand that the woman who is scared to leave her house without wearing makeup is suffering the same forced and systemic oppression as the woman who loses out on a job because she didnt wear makeup to the interview (which is an actual documented phenomenon, in case you were wondering)

this is, like i said, a basic example and also the way individual women experience this sort of thing will be heavily informed by race and class and sexuality but my main point is that trying to enforce a sort of privilege/oppression dynamic around women who confirm to gender roles/women who dont is shallow, single-faceted and frankly, requires a large amount of cognitive dissonance to make sense.

For artists who have problems with perspective (furniture etc.) in indoor scenes like me – there’s an online programm called roomsketcher where you can design a house/roon and snap pictures of it using different perspectives.

It’s got an almost endless range of furniture, doors, windows, stairs etc and is easy to use. In addition to that, you don’t have to install anything and if you create an account (which is free) you can save and return to your houses.

Examples (all done by me):

Here’s an example for how you can use it

Great find, thanks!

OMG HEAVEN!!

Bless you!!!!

Remember the last time the FCC nearly killed net neutrality?

Tumblr had this nice big banner at the top of your dashboard alerting any active user about the problem. Guess what has changed since then? Verizon, one of the companies gunning for the death of net neutrality owns yahoo who in turn own Tumblr. Spread the word, tell everyone you can: battleforthenet.com tag posts you see about net neutrality with popular tags so the news spreads.
