“Every day that I wake up and choose polyamory I know it is because I cannot just turn love off. I found this out again with my sister. I love both of her children like they are family. I cannot fit that love into tidy compartments. Love simply flows through me. I love consciously and actively. My love will always be available to everyone, including myself. I choose to love myself through my insecurity and fear. And I owe a lot to a little baby who came into the world loving and only knowing how to share her love with whoever showed up to care for her.” —

a woman i love deeply wrote this as part of the Strong Families’ Mama’s Day celebration. The whole post rocks cuz it’s all true. 100% real.

“In this cult of female martyrdom, where caring for our own well being is always last on our to-do list, it is easy to feel selfish when we do care for ourselves. But being kind to yourself, banishing negative body-talk, taking necessary time away from work, feeding your body with food that makes it happy, taking a morning for spiritual growth, doing one activity you enjoy just because you enjoy it—these things are not selfish! For so long, women have been socialized around the idea of “guilty pleasures”. Female pleasure–whether it is related to sex, food, or even an activity–must be categorized into “good” and “bad” categories. We are taught to feel “guilty” for “indulging,” but often these indulgences are normal, healthy expressions of desire. Common guilty pleasures include: food seen as “bad,” like cake, French fries, or chocolate; reading an erotic romance novel; skipping the gym to watch Netflix in bed; taking a bubble bath to decompress rather than tackling your mountain of homework. These guilty pleasures are fairly normal activities. For women, things that we enjoy doing are labeled “indulgence,” and we chastise ourselves for being “bad” if we do them. Indulgence sounds dirty, but most of our “guilty pleasure indulgences” are simply acts self-care. Self-care is not bad. Self-care is not selfish. Our lives do not have to follow the script of obedience.” —Brenna McCaffrey, On The Radical Act Of Self-Care, Feminspire.com (via feminspire)

“The rest of the world may not care about Oakland, but Oakland cares about Oakland. You’ll have to visit in order to tell the story. A website, the news, an article cannot even come close to describing the core Pride that exists in this City. Most will only see and hear the negative about Oakland, it’s Oakland’s time to tell its’ own story.” -Nenna Joiner” —

The Sex Positive Photo Project ... San Francisco Bay Area: "I masturbate..." Day Twenty-Three → thesexpositivephotoproject.blogspot.com

sexualassumptions:

Last May, The Sex Positive Photo Project went on a mission to celebrate masturbation during the month of May. Each day there was a new photo of a person masturbating along with their own narrative. 

I’ll be reposting a photo a day from the site in honor of the work we did last year and to celebrate the brave folks that showed up to say “I Masturbate…”

“Schools have classes called “women’s studies,” and “African-American literature” because the standard for existence set by white men has yet to be rescinded in this age. “Normal” history is the history of a certain class of white people, from the perspective of men. All the other histories are precisely that: other.” —Cunt:  A Declaration of Independence. (via ratsandcandy666)

“Body love is the most real kind of love. Like real love, I’ve got to fight to keep it. Like real love, I’ve got to believe I deserve it. Like real love, I fuck up over and over, but I forgive myself and I try not to make the same mistakes again. - Virgie Tovar” —http://thesexpositivephotoproject.blogspot.com/2011/08/theres-more-than-one-way-to-be-fatty.html

“If sexuality is one dimension of our ability to live passionately in the world then in cutting off our sexual feelings we diminish our overall power to feel know and value deeply.”

“…as a woman in my early 30’s, I’m here to say that that is some bullshit. It’s not ok that we’re being lied to. It’s not ok that we have to avert our eyes in order to stay sane. It’s not ok that we are inundated, saturated and castrated by size-negative sexual imagery. Only one size of body is sexual? To Hell with that.” —http://thesexpositivephotoproject.blogspot.com/2011/07/size-positive-sex-positive.html
