“Going to class to teach, I feel a little nervous about how my student might perceive me or what they think of me. But then I will remind myself, what if there’s some young lesbian student, or some student who is butch, or who might end up sort of coming out as butch later on or something.”

Being uncomfortable with feminity doesn’t mean that you are not a woman

It means that feminity is uncomfortable and has nothing to do with being a woman

Mayall’s Object (ARP 174)

While Galaxies can come in all shapes and sizes, with a preference to Spiral and Elliptical, few come as interesting as ARP 174. 

The designation ARP is the surname of Halton Arp, an American astronomer who in 1966 published The Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, of which Mayall’s Object was the 174th in his catalogue. 

Originally thought to be a galaxy reacting with a normally visible line of Hydrogen in Intergalactic space, it’s now considered to be two distinct galaxies in the throws of merger. As the elongated object made contact, the ring like structure of the other was formed by a shockwave of the event. 

At 450 Million light years from Earth, we are seeing what happened almost half a billion years ago, and not what is there right now.

A comic about cutting your hair and control ✂️ ( had to repost this bad boy, i’m hoping that the colour changes should help, goddamit tumblr)

✨(i do commissions!/support me on kofi!)✨

For me, being bare chested means freedom. Running around shirtless is a big “fuck you” to all the misogyny I internalized as a young girl related to the acceptable ways for the female body to exist. This body is the only one I’m ever going to have, so I’m doing my best to unlearn all of the patriarchal bullshit placed on it just because I’m female. I don’t need to remove my breasts to have the right to exist bare chested - society needs to get over the idea that these breasts exist to be sexualized. Fuck em all, do you. You don’t need any permission ✌🏻️

Some menaces 😈

You don’t have to love your body. You don’t even have to like it. But you have to find ways to live with it, as well as you can, and be kind to it whenever possible.

Your body is not the outward expression of your soul. It is not a reflection or a representation of your worth or your True Self. It’s just inhabited meat. It’s a flesh machine with planned obsolescence, and you have to take care of it.

It’s good to love your body, if you can. It will enhance your timed experience of the world if you can appreciate it without too much resentment for the ways it fails or disappoints you. But if you cannot love it, strive at least for neutrality. Make truces with it, however uneasy, and treat it with the respect you would show to any other animal shape.
