fwd: slut walk
- HS: email from my mother. dying.
- "Hi Holly, What do you think about the slut walk? I think I might go tomorrow."
- MM: A++++, amazing, perfect. I do want to go to slut walk.
- RD: I’m flying back to Tokyo tomorrow, but will wear leggings and a crop top (aka my usual plane outfit) in solidarity.
- HS: you are??? when will you be back again?
- i'll be en route to cape may where i will be a bridesmaid on sunday. is that kind of the opposite of a slut walk?
- MM: You can wear some trashy underwear at the very least. If you weren't in a relationship, I would advise hooking up with a random wedding guest as well.
- RD: Heading there to pack up my stuff and cover Japan Fashion Week/Tokyo Designers Week. I’ll be back mid-November! We can have a four person slut walk then.
- KJ: do not think i am not going to tumblr this conversation.
“you are TOO COOL. blowing off cbs! punk’s not dead!”
—naomi fry, when i told her i turned down an interview request because i am in bed reading for my presentation. jon asked, “do you think she’s making fun of you?”
“while many participants at the DC march i participated in wore jeans and sneakers, the women who stood out the most were rape survivors wearing the clothes they had been assaulted in—from pajamas to thigh-high boots—carrying signs that said, “this is what i was wearing when i was raped.”

SlutWalk NYC: “What to Wear to SlutWalk” by Salamishah Tillet for The Nation
i have read a lot about slutwalk, but i have never read this. pretty amazing.
“i think this series of autobiographical vignette writing is impressive not only for its clarity and lack of glibness but also for your ability to use the comic to get at what is utterly serious and frightening.”

“TUMBLR TEENS DON’T EVER CHANGE”
—marisa meltzer, yesterday, before tumblr announced $85 million in funding, which means tumblr teens won’t be changing anytime soon. the nyt says that “a recent report from nielsen said that the audience for the site tripled in the past year and has drawn more female teens to the site than any other social network.”

“you held…the door for me.” forever my favorite example of just how low 90swoman standards really were. except for “you asked how my day was.” this guy does not deserve a blowjob in a theater or anywhere else, alanis.
“A new generation, one that grew up with a data surplus, is coming along. To this cohort, it’s no big deal to miss a tweet or ten, to delete a blog from your reader or to not return a text or even a voice mail. The new standard for a vacation email is, “When I get back, I’m going to delete all the email in my box, so if it’s important, please re-send it next week.”
