I'm Brittany and I run thefatgirlsguide.com and bigbangboutique.com. This is my little safe space of the interwebz for all the wonderful Tumblr-ness.
Someone requested a post of all of the current Strong Female Characters, so here you go.
Well this is awkward.

thank you whoever put this up. you dont even need to argue the bible people just need to read it and realize we are living in 2013 things have changed.
Well… this is awkward.
I’m constantly torn between the ‘be kind to everyone’ and the ‘fuck everyone you owe them nothing’ mentalities
It occurred to me today that I never posted a nice image of my colored naked ladies pattern. I completed it for my senior show but in the hustle and bustle forgot…Even now, I don’t have a good photo of the fabric it was printed on, but I’ll get one up soon!
The image below is the tile-able pattern available to all for non-commercial use, if you want to use it for personal stuff (blog/desktop background etc), please credit me. Please do not print it on anything else without my explicit permission.
I love this! Almond Blossoms by van Gogh is one of my favourite paintings. I have a print of it in my room. I’d definitely buy it on a dress.
When comments are better than the article, Atlantic edition (“The Cheapest Generation: Why Millennials arent’ buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy”)
Every time someone says we’re a lazy and entitled generation I’m going to show them this
They should be happy most of us haven’t moved to the moon yet
That actually sounds like a good idea at this point
People being angry about ~dem gays~ on Target’s Facebook.
I just want to give my two cents on this and tell you a story.
A couple weeks ago, I was hired at Target. I have a job at Target. Not a big deal right?
It is a big deal because i’m a transman.
It doesn’t take a genius to conclude that it’s hard for me, my brothers, and sisters to get a job. There are legal restraints regarding the job and if you don’t pass, it’s hard to be taken seriously at a job interview.
Right on the application, it asks what your preferred name is. It also asks if there is anything that target should know. I put the fact that I am a transman, expecting not to get a call because usually when you put that down, people will throw out the application. I got TWO interviews.
At the interview, they asked me about it. I told them I am on hormones and they told me that they didn’t care. Not in the sense that they don’t emotionally care, but that it didn’t matter. I was male and that’s all that mattered. They also told me that they give sex same couples benefits in states that do not recognize them as a married couple.
At my job orientation, I was not misgendered once. Even my supervisors who weren’t sure of my gender avoided pronoun use, which I found only happens when you’ve had pronoun training. They gave me a name tag with my preferred name and didn’t ask questions. I felt safe and respected, which is huge for a trans* person.
TLDR: Target is amazing not just for the LGB, but also the T. Shop there for the rest of your life.
Another reason I love target!
