Oscar Wilde. What a guy. The ultimate #lad.
Reblogging not for Oscar, but for the cute artwork to go alongside the message. :-)

Back around 1998 I was interviewing for jobs in publishing after I graduated college. I went to a very small indie-type Berkeley company (one of a million in Berkeley) to interview with two people. I very clearly remember that they were all a bit “alternative” looking and were all dressed very casually in jeans, t-shirts, etc. The man who was interviewing me was probably in his late 20′s and looked very laid back, and he made a comment on my nail polish. He mentioned that I was very bold to be wearing a shade like that at a job interview. It was from Revlon and was a new slate blue/grey that had come out. I remember being kind of shocked that he would comment on that, especially considering the type of company they appeared to be like, the fact that I had worked in publishing for 2 years, and had a BA in English. The whole interview after that was him and the woman being a bit snarky and acting like I was a complete idiot for wearing the nail polish.

The Radical Notion that Women Are People: feministdisney: friendlyangryfeminist: Myth: Women...

Oh white colonialism..

i just googled this and this is fucking gross
look average as hell
You might not think this is a problem, but we grow up looking at this and it sits there forever. No matter how fine I know I am, any white girl who even thinks to look at Spenser can get slapped in a second. It’s a problem.

never touch anything with half of your heart: This is how this shit works:
- When a person of color says that they hate white people, they hate white people as an institution (aka white supremacy/hegemony)
- When a woman says that they hate men, they hate men as an institution (aka male dominance/patriarchy)
- When a queer person says that they hate…

Progress: Gender Neutral toy department at Harrods
Harrods Department Store is a British institution that’s just as much a tourist spot as any other historical landmark in London. This past week they made history by opening their first gender-neutral toy department. It was designed by London and Singapore-based interior architects Shed and has been dubbed Toy Kingdom. Everything in Toy Kingdom is grouped by theme, not gender: enchanted forest, miniature toy world, a reading room, a circus area, and a candy store

it’s also funny how the only people missing the point on my post are men.
