Hosting another giveaway for nearing 30,000 of you awesome,creative,inspirational folks!
Numbers in all honesty dont mean a damn thing but i am still mind blown that folks are not only interested in our strange creations but also incredibly supportive and perpetually keeping our muses fueled. When i saw how many of you there were… i had to share some appreciation and gratitude for keeping the shop alive and afloat within the changing chaotic seas of etsy.
You all are the reason i am able to do what i love, and for that simple fact alone is why there are monthly giveaways. Giveaways are of course in appreciation for all your wonderful support over the years, but also for the knowledge shared, gifts exchanged, friendships created, muses unearthed… the giveaways always include jewelry but are also usually filled with my own personal muses ( bones, shells, lichens and other natural materials) in hopes they can inspire and propel your own creative endeavors and muses <3
Thank you all so much.
This is a basic giveaway, reblogs and likes all count as an entry -No limit on how many times you enter, just make sure not to go overboard with it ( for your followers sake) -no giveaway blogs -Sorry folks but with the bone materials this has to be restricted to U.S folks only. -A winner will be chosen on April 15th and privately messaged
Lately I’ve been thinking about what the word “perfect” stands for. Lately I’ve almost led my life into ruins while trying to accomplish the perfection. Lately I’ve realized a lot.
We all want to love and be loved in return. And it doesn’t have to be the all time consuming…
In 1937 two women caused a car accident by wearing shorts in public for the first time
I vow to reblog this every time is shows up on my dash
love this
they caused a car crash
No they didn’t. The man driving his car who took his eyes off the road because he was staring at a pair of women caused a car crash. He averted his eyes from the road, he endangered other people and he crashed his own car. This is all the proof you need that we live in a society that blames women for things they didn’t do.
Where do negative stereotypes about feminists come from?
By Lisa Wade, PhD
Television evangelist Pat Robertson once described feminism as “a socialist, anti-family, political movement that encourages women to leave their husbands, kill their children, practice witchcraft, destroy capitalism, and become lesbians.” His comment is frequently used as a particularly extreme version of the feminist stereotype, but how far are his sentiments from those of the general public?
A more systematic investigation into what people think about feminists found that many people think that feminists are ugly, uptight, angry, aggressive, harsh, strident, demanding, dogmatic, man-hating lesbians… or think other people think they are. Only 26 percent of people say that feminist is a positive term.
This suggests that actual feminists have lost control over their own reputation. It would be counterproductive, after all, for feminists to portray themselves as unlikeable. Negative stereotypes about feminists, instead, are likely spread by anti-feminists.
Anti-suffrage campaign material is one example. The images below tells a story about who the feminist women fighting for suffrage are and what they want. It’s all pre-1920s, but the stereotypes and fears are similar.
Feminists are ugly:
Feminists are manly:
Feminists neglect their natural role as a mother/are uncaring toward children:
They’re angry:
They want to emasculate men and take their role:
They’re mean to their husbands, if they can get married at all:
They don’t want equality with men, they want to dominate them:
Next time you hear that feminists are ugly or hate men — or any number of stereotypes about women who seek equality — remember that this is exactly what anti-feminists have wanted you to think for the last 200 years.
