Faith is a small child playing peek-a-boo, hiding its head behind its hands and believing that the rest of the world has ceased to exist, because it can no longer see it.
I am a feminist, and because I’m a feminist I critique every medium of media I come across on how it treats women, racial minorities, people with disabilities, other religions and cultures, people who aren’t straight or cisgender or sexual, and people who aren’t upper class. Pretty much every media is horrible towards all of those people. For some reason people don’t see that unless it’s porn.
One thing about porn that I like to point out is that the people involved in porn have given their consent. There are women, and feminists, who like to be submissive sexually or who are involved in S&M in that way. There’s a huge difference between how you want to be treated sexually and how you want to be treated as a person. …

Note to Self is a performance that deals with gay, lesbian, bi and transgender people who have died due to hate crimes committed against them. Coble compiled a list of 436 names of these individuals, through research on various websites, news reports and official and unofficial documentation. The list started and ended with the word “anonymous” to acknowledge the many lives that were taken that my list didn’t include.
During a solid twelve-hour timeframe these names were tattooed, with no ink, onto the surface of Coble’s body. He had these names inklessly tattooed on his body as a reference to the brutality of these murders; many of the victims had slurs such as dyke or faggot carved into their bodies.
After each name was completed, a Blood Painting was made by pressing a sheet of paper directly against the fresh abrasion. These prints were then places on the walls of the gallery. As the list of name compiled on his body the same list was mirrored on the gallery walls.
The first three hours of this performance was open to the public while the last nine hours were webcast so the audience could watch via the net.Holy shit

So, I have this thing I do on Twitter called my #WTF #Japan moments. Sometimes written as #WTFJAPAN due to space limitations. But just the same, these are normally videos that I find from Asia that are the epitome of that WTF moment. The ones that make you stare in abject horror, unable to browse away from what is unfolding before your eyes.
This is one of those moments. Only worse. Because it is half American.

First Images from the Doctor Who Christmas Special: The Doctor, The Widow, and the Wardrobe
It’s Christmas Eve, 1938, when Madge Arwell comes to the aid of an injured Spaceman Angel as she cycles home, in this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special, starring Matt Smith as the Doctor.
He promises to repay her kindness – all she has to do is make a wish.
Three years later, a devastated Madge escapes war-torn London with her two children for a dilapidated house in Dorset. She is crippled with grief at the news her husband has been lost over the channel, but determined to give Lily and Cyril the best Christmas ever.
The Arwells are surprised to be greeted by a madcap caretaker whose mysterious Christmas gift leads them into a magical wintry world. Here, Madge will learn how to be braver than she ever thought possible. And that wishes can come true…
Madge Arwell is played by Claire Skinner, Lily Arwell by Holly Earl and Cyril Arwell by Maurice Cole.

—// Hello!//
Ok, making another Tumblr…this time for more normal Tumblr activities, not like my first one for dark artsy writing shiz. This will be far less fancy, I promise you! Hopefully replaced by things of awesome that I find on Tumblr, much like Twitter.
I think you'll find that I am universally recognized as a mature and responsible adult.
