The Lockless Door by Robert FrostIt went many years,
But at last came a knock,
And I thought of the door
With no lock to lock.
I blew out the light,
I tip-toed the floor,
And raised both hands
In prayer to the door.

Let’s just take a moment to appreciate the fact that Pooh has just shoved the equivalent of his own internal organs back into his body like it was no big deal.
No bothers were given that day.
No bothers given.
No bothers.

FACE OF DISBELIEF: Qatari writer and film-maker, Sophia al-Maria (right) exhibits video, Cinderazahd: For Your Eyes Only, depicting female friends and relatives preparing for a family wedding without their hijabs or veils.
Al-Maria asked for the video to be viewed only by women, as it was filmed in a female-only area of the home.
White guy (left) complains to Human Rights Commission on basis of gender discrimination. Paul Young, 60, said it was deeply offensive that the exhibit could be allowed to blatantly discriminate against men.
Are you kidding me? Her expression here perfectly captures my current feelings.
Public reminder: It is NOT your basic human right to view women’s bodies. Their consent needs to be given. Even in a public forum. That is all.
I kinda wonder if Mr. Young goes around town demanding women to show him their face and tell him about their personal lives. That the movie is shown to a public does not mean the people shown are public property. By all means, these women extend a hand by showing a deeply personal part of their culture but so as not to create conflict with that same culture, which includes these women’s feelings on being seen by men, it is limited to a public of only women.
Mr. Young is definitely not even interested in this movie. He just wants his (white) man rights acknowledged in a place meant to be private to women. He just wants to one-up a culture/religion he has not a shred of respect for like a freakin’ schoolyard bully.
Sexism (and racism) is that Mr. Young can choose from thousands of other movies, most made with every intent to make white men feel good about themselves but not so much other people, and still feels deeply entitled to barge in on one small movie made by one group of women for other groups of women.

The Glasswinged butterfly (Greta oto) is a brush-footed butterfly, and is a member of the subfamily Danainae, tribe Ithomiini, subtribe Godyridina. Its wings are translucent, with a wingspan of 5.6 to 6.1 cm (2.2 to 2.4 in). Its most common English name is glasswinged butterfly, and its Spanish name is “espejitos”, which means “little mirrors.” Indeed, the tissue between the veins of its wings looks like glass, as it lacks the colored scales found in other butterflies. The opaque borders of its wings are dark brown sometimes tinted with red or orange, and its body is dark in color.
♦ For Louisewe would catch these in Central America with my dad and it was amazing setting them free. Espejitos <3

“I believe the human brain knows and perceives more than we ourselves realize. For instance, what for me constitutes the end of the film, is the scene in which Chihiro takes the train all by herself. That’s where the film ends for me. I remember the first time I took the train alone and what my feelings were at the time. Most people who can remember the first time they took the train all by themselves, remember absolutely nothing of the landscapes outside the train because they are so focused on the ride itself.” (Hayao Miyazaki)
My childhood so accurately pictured and described~
