30 days of who → favorite female companion / a character that you feel the need to defend / a character you didn’t like at first, but just needed convincing

if a guy buys you a bunch of drinks and then expects you to have sex with him you can just give him back the drinks by puking into his lap

“For me, a woman who is absorbed in her work, who does not care about gaining one’s favour, strong yet subtle at the same time, is essentially more seductive. The more she hides and abandons her femininity, the more it emerges from the very heart of her existence.”

- Yohji Yamamoto

“Women are socialized to make men feel good. We’re socialized to “let you down easy.” We’re not socialized to say a clear and direct “no.” We’re socialized to speak in hints and boost egos and let people save face. People who don’t respect the social contract (rapists, predators, assholes, pickup artists) are good at taking advantage of this. “No” is something we have to learn. “No” is something we have to earn. In fact, I’d argue that the ability to just say “no” to something, without further comment, apology, explanation, guilt, or thinking about it is one of the great rites of passage in growing up, and when you start saying it and saying it regularly the world often pushes back. And calls you names.”

DIY Postcard/Memento Booklet: Using Cross Flexagon Technique (by makinghandmadebooks)

Maybe you went on vacation and brought back picture postcards. Maybe you stayed home and a few people sent you picture postcards. Or maybe you just have a collection of them, like I do, that are overflowing their boxes. If you don’t mind trimming and creasing them a bit, four of them can be used to make a cross flexagon.

You can always add to the narrative and write your own notes, poetry, or prose on the backs or alter the fronts with gesso or collaged imagery.
