*writes I LIKE GIRLS on every other page of my journals so future historians don’t try to insist that I’m straight”
Future straight Historians: “we see several examples of her prioritizing a sisterly bond with the women around her, for example on page 12 she says ‘I like girls’ and throughout the text she references loving women and preferring their company. This is not to say she prioritized above her romantic relationships because on page 78 she mentions talking to a man one time in her life. It’s hard to know just how much she valued her sisterly bond with women due to this one reference of men and the ambiguity of early 21st century slang. For example on page 12 when she said she liked women, the passage continues ’…in a lesbian way. I want to kiss girls, they are so pretty, I’m so gay.’ Now it’s difficult to understand just what that sentence means. We know that in the early 21st century kissing on the cheek in greeting had gone out of vogue but the word gay, a word with an archaic meaning of happiness gives the contextual clues that perhaps she is references that old fashioned practice.
Going back to the nameless man that is mentioned once on page 78 for one sentance…”
“Now, given that she wrote on page 12, ‘Just to be clear: I’m sexually and romantically attracted to women exclusively,’ one may be tempted to read this literally, but we can’t rule out sarcasm.”
It may seem like @vilesbian is joking, but she really isn’t.
Few things lay bare America’s pretentions about class so clearly as the distinction between a “tiny house” and a “mobile home.”
For people who may not get the nuance of this, and may at first say ‘a mobile home is, you know, mobile. You can put it on a trailer!’– you are wrong.
‘Mobile homes’ are not ‘homes that are mobile always’. They are ‘homes that are built somewhere else, and then transported to the site and set on the foundation’. The difference between a pre-fab mobile home and a pre-fab tiny house is like 99% style at this point. Most mobile homes *can’t* be moved once they’re set up, or if you tried you’d do all kinds of irrepairable damage.
A mobile home mostly fits in a very specific set of measurements, because single-wide and double-wide plots are standardized. A tiny house has a lot more variety, and they are built for hyperefficiency rather than to be inexpensive and standardized.
Double-wide trailer, built at a factory, minimally assembled on site and designed to house a family of 3 or 4 as cheaply as possible – sketchy and low class and old and dirty.
Tiny house, built at a factory, minimally assembled on site, and designed to house 1-2 people in some kind of minimalist’s paradise – cool and hip and THE FUTURE.
Functional difference between the two: the footprint, a paint job, some modular furniture and marketing.

reblog this to find the right outlet, get to a place where you have aspirations, dispel apathy and pursue what you love, and rediscover your passion.
talking about Rosie The Riveter, fun fact: while the We Can Do It picture has become the most-well known depiction of her in modern times, it wasn’t really a famous image when it was made–in fact, it wasn’t even intended to be her
the most famous depiction of Rosie The Riveter during WWII was probably Norman Rockwell’s painting
note what she’s resting her foot on
i fully support anti-fascist/anti-nazi butch lesbian rosie the riveter
