"I am a big girl. A voluptuous, curvy, dress-wearing lesbian. I love my body; it’s the only one I’ll ever have. I eat a lot of greens and work out and drink gin martinis and put M&Ms in my froyo and sometimes I don’t do anything but watch Project Runway. I am allowed to look sexy, feel sexy, and be in love. I am worthy of all of those things, and so are you. Own your good and bad, and all the scary parts that you’ve been covering up because it is yours and no amount of judgement can tell you how to love your body. In the words of Sonya Renee, the body is not an apology. You are magic.“

“…the point of releasing these [nudes]—or threatening to—is not the pleasure of seeing someone naked. After all, there are millions of images of naked women who happen to be consenting available online. It’s about…the pleasure of hurting and humiliating a woman who offended you by being unobtainable, and by standing up for other women.”

Amanda Marcotte on 4chan’s threat to release nudes of Emma Watson after her feminist speech [Source] (via amidtheflowers)
FYI- it was a hoax:
http://www.smh.com.au/lifestyle/celebrity/emma-watson-nude-pictures-post-a-hoax-20140925-10ls6g.html
(via daziechane)
But the thing is, it actually doesn’t matter if it was a joke or a hoax. It doesn’t matter if no one had any nudes or ever actually intended to rifle through her private accounts to dig up something embarrassing on her.
What matters is that a woman made a powerful statement about the need for gender equality and was immediately attacked because of it. What matters is that other women see that and think, “That’s what will happen to me if I stick my neck out.” And so many of them choose not to speak up out of fear of retribution, and women are put right back in their “proper place” once again, the patriarchy defended.
That’s why this matters.

So anyone who knows me knows that I have about 15 ao3 accts. I write there and LJ and FF and other places. I write whatever. It’s all very meh and inaccurate and fun. But can I share the happiest lil corner I have?
It’s here

It’s RPF. A series of random RPF convos.
I just write conversations. They’re barely paid attention to. I’ve gotten like 30 kudos overall. I’ve only wrote three. But they’re just enjoyable to write. I just wrote that weird one I mentioned before and put it up there.
It is about Amanda Abbington. And I felt really good when I finished writing it. As I say it’s a healing fic. Anyhoo. I’ve revealed a username. There. I did it.

Indigenous Canadians stand up to Ellen DeGeneres using #sealfies, fight for their right hunt seals
"We do not hunt seals, or any animal for that matter, for fashion," Killaq Enuaraq-Strauss, 17, says. "We hunt to survive. If Canada were to ban the seal hunt, so many families would suffer, would face harsher forms of malnutrition, and wouldn’t be able to afford proper clothing for the Arctic environment we live in. Even more so, another part of our culture would have been killed."
Nothing makes me quite as angry as wealthy people in major cities trying to make completely uninformed, harmful, disrespectful interjections into northern Canadian culture and infrastructure.
destroy these people. if you’re celebrating vicious hunts like this with this sort of thing you’re not just hunting for survival and your culture deserves to be destroyed.
Well somebody didn’t click the link. Government seal hunting (including the pup killing I’m sure you’re thinking of by your use of vicious hunts) is not Inuit doing, or Inuit endorsed. These people DO hunt to survive, they hunt adult animals for food and clothing. The kind of clothing you need when you live that far up north, nothing compares to animal furs in that respect and it would actually be downright wasteful to kill a seal to eat then not use it’s fur too. The numbers they take are also sustainable, the numbers government take, less so. Then after the act, there is nothing wrong with taking pride in the clothing you make out of it. You still had to make it after all.
They’re not celebrating any vicious hunts, they’re trying to defend their right to survive the best way they can in a harsh environment, when people who know nothing about what they do and why are trying to stop them.
"Your culture deserves to be destroyed" get a load of this dumbass racist piece of shit. Gee I wonder why the Inuit don’t take your fucking hippy animal rights bullshit seriously.

I’ll set up a queue for when I’m out of town.
So in case I die or you just feel ignored.
Remember if it says “queue-batch” then it’s automatically posting on my behalf.
And I could very well be dead.
Or ya know just busy.
