Peepo Choo vol 2
I think that a lot of tumblr would benefit from reading peepo choo idk
This is important.
A message by my friend Felipe Smith, from his book Peepo Choo.
What is a locust?
Its head, a grain of corn; its neck, the hinge
of a knife;
Its horns, a bit of thread; its chest is smooth
and burnished;
Its body is like a knife handle;
Its hock, a saw; its spittle, ink;
Its underwings, clothing for the dead.
On the ground—it is laying eggs;
In flight—it is like the clouds.
Approaching the ground, it is rain glittering in
the sun;
Lighting on a plant, it becomes a pair of
scissors;
Walking, it becomes a razor;
Desolation walks with it.
Pilot William C. Hopson of the U.S. Mail Service in Winter Flying Clothing
Regularly scheduled airmail service first began in the United States on May 15, 1918. “Wild Bill” Hopson remains one of the more colorful of the early airmail pilots. A former cab driver who survived several close calls (once landing upside down in a cornfield), he perished when his plane crashed during a storm in 1928. Check out his “Pilot Story” at the Smithsonian’s National Postal Museum.
“So my amazing daughter, Emma, turned 5 last month, and I had been searching everywhere for new-creative inspiration for her 5yr pictures. I noticed quite a pattern of so many young girls dressing up as beautiful Disney Princesses, no matter where I looked 95% of the “ideas” were the “How to’s” of how to dress your little girl like a Disney Princess…We chose 5 women (five amazing and strong women), as it was her 5th birthday but there are thousands of unbelievable women (and girls) who have beat the odds and fought (and still fight) for their equal rights all over the world”

The Great Unfollowing Plague of 2013
Is there a tumblr rule that says if you post a Comic Sans slideshow, you have to make sure that you have to be wrong is an embarrassingly earnest but cluelessly over-generalizing way? If you try to post a relevant, insightful, innovative, and worthwhile PowerPoint, does tumblr give you an error message? I’m envisioning a message like “Error 42345: Lacks half-digested bits of wisdom from your first eye-opening [identity politics of you choice or lit theory, my personal go-to toolbox of Interweb jackassery] course.”
OK, but Cersei Lannister is TERRIBLE. She is not any more or less terrible because she is a woman, she is A TERRIBLE PERSON, and I don’t know where the show is at in the series, but I assume that you know this by now and if you say that hating Cersei is mysoginist, then that’s cray.
Part of it is that people don’t seem to hate the terrible dude characters as much or at least in the same way.
Compare how much sympathy Theon gets, versus how Cersei is treated. Then consider that Theon’s horrible past is that his family rose up in rebellion, lost, and Theon was made a hostage- he was given to an honorable man who raised him well with sons who treated him as a brother. Theon then betrayed the Starks to try to win the approval of the family that abandoned him. Meanwhile, Cersei has a father who doesn’t care about the fact that she’s smart, only that she’s attractive and is a useful token for a political alliance. So she was forced into a loveless marriage to an unfaithful, drunken, abusive man. Remind me why Theon gets excuses for his actions, then?
The best trick patriarchy ever pulled is convincing people that the battlefield it must be fought on is the mass-produced, bottom-line driven, lowest common denominator, corporate-controlled world of pop culture.
