This is from the slut walk. One of the arguments is that girls ask for rape because they wear slutty clothes, short skirts, tight, low-cut tops. This girl is an example of the fact that rape victims can look like anyone, you, me, this girl. Rapists. Dont. Discriminate.
I promised a long time ago that I’d reblog this whenever I saw it on my dash. No regrets, it breaks my heart every single time.
an incredibly important message, rape is rape. no one is ever asking for it. a woman has the right to dress how ever they want - it is society that identifies risque dressing as ‘asking for it’, and in my opinion, that way of thinking needs to be diminished.
Always, always reblog.

I gave my first ever commencement speech to the graduating class of 2012 at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
I think I told them everything important that I knew about going out into the world and being an artist, so I may never need to give another one.

Cough syrup
It may be the cough syrup induced haze, or it might be the excessive amount of Beck I’m listening to(or the ridiculous amount of Diablo III I’ve played under said cough syrup haze), but I have a thought to share; life is pretty neat.
This feeling may not last, so I thought I should record it here for all to see.
Theres a lot of crappy stuff that happens to people. Super crappy stuff. However, there’s also quite a few awesome experiences to be had.
So as a declaration to myself, I’ll say this; Stop lingering, stop waiting, stop reverting. Go forward.
Drank drew
So, I definitely drew a picture of some friends in a Mad Libs book at a bar.
Not my best work, but, screw you I’m kinda drunk.

Friendcast
I listen to the Nerdist podcast sometimes when I feel lonely, because it makes me feel like I’m hanging out with friends.
I’m the coolest
Career confusion
I get discouraged about an artistic career quite often. It’s easy to feel like things aren’t going the way you want/need them to. Even when I pick up some freelance, or get a compliment about my artistic progress, it’s easy to feel like I’m not where I need to be in my career. It’s easy to feel like a bit of a failure when I head to my 7-4 job at a coffee shop.
When I pick up a pencil and start drawing, it all melts away. Hand me a strong cup of coffee, a pencil, and a piece of paper, and everything just fits together. Everything is as it should be.
This is why I need to make my living solely on art. This is why I will make my living on my art.
To all of my fellow artists who don’t feel like they’re where they need to be; keep working, we will get there. We will.
Just trying to flex my blogging/writing muscle. Sometimes I'm frustrated, many times I attempt to make people giggle.
