EPIC SELF CARE POST
youarenotyou:
Self care according to the senses:
Scent. Burn scented candles or incense. Pick some fresh flowers or herbs for your home (basil = heaven). Fry onions or garlic if it’s your thing (it’s definitely mine). If you can afford to, buy some essential oils that make you feel relaxed. You can wear them as perfume or dilute them with water and put into a spray bottle for your bed sheets....

microaggression (street harrassment)
microaggressions:
Every day when I walk to school, people in cars honk or whistle at me when they pass by. Sometimes they slow down to look at me.

feminist future conference
really interested in how this went, can anyone point me to any good summaries of how shit went down? or what happened?
all i’ve seen so far is sheila jeffrey’s poison about the conference which is worse than inadequate. (http://radicalhub.wordpress.com/2011/05/31/guest-post-sheila-jeffreys/ is the link. obviously its transphobic and generally hatin’)
