MILK ACID

yousaytheydontcare:

me and to my right (with her kick-ass sign) midge aka moderngirlblitz at slutwalk! i can’t believe i feature so prominently in a picture like this, i never do for other things i go to. maybe it’s because instead of looking down and being quiet and being distinctly an ‘observer’, i.. participated. but, really.

because it was impossible not to, if you wanted to. one of the coolest things about today was walking around feeling safe and relatively free. i wasn’t thinking about who was staring at me or trying not to attract attention or, anything. i yelled the chants (even though i started out quiet) and cheered and part of not calling attention to yourself is not making loud sounds but, it sank in that i didn’t have to do that, there. there was this energy, and this.. i can’t quite put it into words yet, but just being there was incredibly empowering.

i didn’t make that sign - there were people going around giving them out and being in need, i took one - but i think the message is awesome, especially because it has broader implications, you know? it makes you think. or i hope it made people think. i hope it all made people think.

there was one downer at the end, but i’m going to make another post about that because all in all it was an amazing day.
