LeParisien (French newspaper) "The First baby of the year, in Auvergne, has two mommies!!"
AbbeGrosJean (Catholic Priest) "Dear Journalists, quick reminder of your biology classes, a baby can't have two mothers, he has one mother and the mother has a partner".
Eric Fallourd (From the "Ecologie" (left) party in France, works at the Assembly): "When you believe a story where a virgin woman gives birth to God's child, you're not allowed to talk about biology classes."

Our deputees started to discuss and work on the gay marriage laws, and most of right-wing ones are simply acting like children. And I'm not even talking about the misogynist behaviours. This is so disgusting to see how these people, elected to represent the country, are acting right now. And on the first day, the Parlement rapporteur received some poo by the mail. Great. Mature. Bravo.
On a lighter note, I realized my constant talking about equality, human rights, sexism, and all intersectional issues sometimes have a real impact. A bunch of customers told me they were now more careful about how other people are treated, and one guy I tattooed recently wrote me a touching email to tell me he felt for me when he saw all the protests and the homophobic crowds on the media. He made my day.
For the french-speakers : petit resume en divers articles du pire et du meilleur sur la situation actuelle :
il faut ecouter les auditions, c'est un grand cri d'amour et un veritable appel a l'aide des parents. Il faut etre sourd et sans coeur pour ne pas entendre. (et bien sur aucuns deputes de l'opposition, les memes qui appelaient a grands cris un debat national, n'etait presents)
My bestie Opale in Enchantee... That was a heck of a weird night at the Hotel Amour, you wouldn't believe me.
In LA I had the chance to meet the gentleman DarrylDarko, and I think I dropped my clothes off for the good cause, the importance of being..... whatever. Tell me how you like that girly side of me !
Once again I convinced AnnaLee to impersonate another mythical creature and threw her in icy water to be Nimue. That's how I treat my beloved friends. She needs support and reward for actually do it with no complain.
So, why does time fly by as you get older? When you are younger, you have more novel, new experiences. You see your mother for the first time. You learn your first language. Everything around you is new information. When the brain puts together these new details, they seem slower when you look back on them. When you age, your understanding of the world is larger. But because you are constantly surrounded by the usual family, school and experiences, details aren't taken in so intricately. This makes entire days seem like fleeting moments!
According to this psychological diagram, if you turned 80 - looking back, the middle of your life will appear to be your 20's!
Moral of the story: Do something new every day to make your life seem longer and richer.
What a fantastic blog. Doesn't matter where one lives, the themes of equality, respect, humanity and exploring new things everyday are worth remembering. Well said Dwam.
Poo on the mail? Gosh, I'm hoping this is a joke. I know it's not, I just can't believe people really are immature to that point.
I've recently read a blog post from a guy who went to the protesting crowds and asked them about their reasons on protesting against same sex marriage. And some of the things they've said truly make me sad - sad to see that there are still so many people using nonsensical reasons to protest against someone else's right to marry who they love, just because who they love is from the same gender. That post even mentioned two girls, of 6 and 7 years old respectively, who were participating in the protest... Really? Children in the protest? I can't believe people are teaching children to be intolerant - I know this probably happens a lot, but I still can't believe.
And also, the approval of this law has no effect on these people - nothing will change for them. So why are they even protesting against it?
Anyway, it's good to see you've touched others about equality.
You're amazing, Dwam! Thanks so much for being yourself, sharing your viewpoint, and posting that hilarious video. I had a long week, and seeing all those laughing faces turned it around. Much appreciated!!!
Yes, I think so too. haha! This is my favorite message I got about it -
You are gorgeous, probably one of the most positive SGs on site.
Always and everywhere.
Unfortunately this set is not a stunner, probably because it is far too similar to GoGo's Nixe set, only this one has less magic in it. It is not a piece of criticism, it's just to say that probably, if "Nixe" wouldn't exist, you'd have a har higher appreciation regarding these pictures,
It is difficult not to compare the two sets (the mood is very different)...
In the end, though, I vote YES, your gorgeousness, beauty and sensuality, plus the photography which isn't bad at all, kept me through all of the pictures. Again, when AnnaLee posts a set, it is very difficult to vote NO. So here we go, you have my vote, my heart, my love. - got to love backhanded compliments..
Hope you're well anyway, I'm glad the yoga video helped! I find them so good. Although the last couple of months since I started a daily practice I've had much much less symptoms, could be a coincidence though. I'll have to see how it goes over a longer time. x
And this is a great journal. What you communicate does have an impact, for sure. You have made an impact on me, I think it's you and Stephanie who have really encouraged my readings and interest in feminism, human rights and such. And I'm very grateful to have had my eyes opened a little more . So just keep doing what you're doing.
