Don't you dare judge me or my porn, asshole
I saw this on FB yesterday and it pissed me off.
“The erotic has often been misnamed by men and used against women. It has been made into the confused, the trivial, the psychotic, the plasticized sensation. For this reason, we have often turned away from the exploration and consideration of the erotic as a source of power and information, confusing it with its opposite, the pornographic. But pornography is a direct denial of the power of the erotic, for it represents the suppression of true feeling. Pornography emphasizes sensation without feeling.
The erotic is a measure between the beginnings of our sense of self and the chaos of our strongest feelings. It is an internal sense of satisfaction to which, once we have experienced it, we know we can aspire.” ― Audre Lorde, Uses Of The Erotic: The Erotic As Power
My thoughts, in short?
*whew*
In happier news, I have found the replacement for my riding boots that I gave up last year. I never could get them to fit right. My calves are short and the shaft never broke down into enough of a slouch to make them comfortable. Check out these gorgeous babies, though.
Hnnnnnngggg.
That side lacing. The o-ring ankle strap. Yes, they have an inside zip. The more I look at them, the more I love them. Pretty sure this is gonna be my xmas present request frommckitterick and my parents.
Check out this FUCKING AMAZING Supernatural vid. A few visual spoilers for Season 8,mckitterick, but nothing major. Doesn't hurt that I really like this song.
In the Hope For Humanity column falls this article about acknowledgement of a kid's good deed going viral.
The Toast put up a nice article about slashfic today. It's got a few things I'd quibble about, but overall, a good read.
