I love Allison 11213372 bc I asked her what u do when you’re paralyzed w fear that no matter what you do with your work men will always be waiting to make fun of u n she said : “take your work to the extreme of being responsible for every aspect of its production, even if that means writing your finished work by hand so you’re not using typing software and fonts created by men, stuff like that, take it as far as you possibly can, you have to match the extremities of the violent responses you receive, knowing that if you can’t win them over at least you know in your own mind that you don’t owe any aspect of it to them” like BYE ok bitches buying quills making our own parchment.. what vitality

South African Label OATH Studio’s SS16 Lookbook Gets Retro and Blurs Gender Lines.

Channeling aspects of South African township culture in the 80s and 90s,  a period in South African street style where the “culture of androgyny was at its peak,” as noted by the shoot’s photographer Kristin-Lee Moolman, the latest lookbook from South African fashion designer Rich Mnisi’s OATH studio label blurs gender lines and explores a different side to current queer youth culture in South Africa through a retrospective lens.

The shoot, shot in Soweto, features various faces that speak to the diversity within this subculture, is made up of a cast that includes: Janet Otobo, a professional model, Wayne Swart, a student street cast on the way to the shoot. Aart Verrips, a photographer, Lucky Macheke – an accountant and Mnisi’s cousin and Desire Marea, one half of FAKA, a black queer art duo who use performance as a means to explore their complex identities. 

H/T Dazed.

the main difference b/w bi women and lesbians, besides who we are attracted to, is that bi women use dual wield weapons and lesbians use one larger weapon. the dps is about equal but lesbians excel at single target and bi women are good at aoe, so i would suggest having at least one of each in your party for endgame discourse

Pumzi - dir. Wanuri Kahiu // Kenya

In a dystopian future 35 years after an ecological WWIII  has torn the world apart, East African survivors of the devastation remain locked away in contained communities, but a young woman in possession of a germinating seed struggles against the governing council to bring the plant to Earth’s ruined surface.
