i think instead of the woman taking her husband’s name when they get married or doing the hyphenated thing

couples should just smash their last names together

so like if a Smith married a Grabowski you could be Smabowski or Grabith or Grasmithski

and then as the generations go on the names just get more and more ridiculous

why aren’t we doing this

Diana Al-Hadid.

The Syrian artist Diana Al-Hadid creates massive, room-

filling scuptures that explore and suspend our reality, using various materials like chicken wire, polyurethane foam, steel, wood or paint. ‘I want to explore the limits of my own thinking’ says Al-Hadid. The process of creating her artwork often starts without exactly knowing what she does. Thereby she carefully studies her material, like wax, clay, fiberglass or anything else. Al-Hadid doesn’t make art to show something, but to become interested in something. Now she is living and working in Brooklyn, NY.

I once had a guys tell me that the reason that there is unemployment in the world it’s because women get the jobs from men and don’t stay home.

BOTH OF MY PARENTS ARE INTO THIS THEORY

NO

NOOOOO

actually this is partially true according to certain theories, but let me explain. Before capitalism, the work that men and women due were held relatively equal in regard, even if those tasks were very different (this doesn’t mean there wasn’t a patriarchy). However, the plague came along and killed some enormous percentage of the population and whether this was intentional or not, the view of the woman shifted to someone who could supply more labor (children) and only that. This was done by taking away any power a woman had over her body and this view was enforced via the witch hunts which targeted women whose sexual activity did not result in a child (why do you think witches are known as baby killers?). So here comes the system of capitalism which was developed in a society where women weren’t even acknowledged to be a part of the system of labor and it continued to function this way for several centuries. Compared to the amount of time capitalism has been around, the amount of time women have been in the work force has only been a fraction of that. Within the past 50 years the population of willing workers has almost doubled and the system could not accommodate this change. I’m not saying that women entering the work force is a bad thing because obviously that’s not true, its merely indicative of the many flaws of capitalism.

If you want to read more about this theory, I recommend starting on page 44 and reading through the chapter labelled “The Accumulation of Labor and the Degradation of Women”

Kirsty Mitchell’s late mother Maureen was an English teacher who spent her life inspiring generations of children with imaginative stories and plays. Following Maureen’s death from a brain tumour in 2008, Kirsty channelled her grief into her passion for photography.

She retreated behind the lens of her camera and created Wonderland, an ethereal fantasy world. The photographic series began as a small summer project but grew into an inspirational creative journey.

‘Real life became a difficult place to deal with, and I found myself retreating further into an alternative existence through the portal of my camera,’ said the artist. (read the rest here).

Wow. Just wow.

“The last time we’re confident that CO2 was sustained at these levels is more than 10 million years ago, during the middle of the Miocene period.”

“The only question now is whether the relentless rise in carbon can be matched by a relentless rise in the activism necessary to stop it.”
