I’ve been forced to explain homosexuality to my kids (aged 3 and 4) because their uncle is gay. This incredibly difficult and traumatic experience went as follows:

Child: Why does Uncle Bob go everywhere with Pete?
Me: Because they’re in love, just like Mummy and Daddy are.
Child: Oh. Can I have a biscuit?

We’re all scarred for life. Scarred, I tell you.

projectunbreakable: Taken today.  This woman, moments after her rape last year, had to scream and cry on a public street just so the police would actually take her to the precinct - they wouldn’t because they told her what happened wasn’t a crime.  This is the excerpt from her email she sent me, before we met up: There was one female officer, a sergeant, who responded to my 911 call that night. I truly thought, She’s a woman, maybe I can get through to her, woman-to-woman. As the police tried to escape to their cars and leave me weeping pantyless on the sidewalk, I followed her, begging with her to listen to me. I said to her something like, “Please, please help me… Imagine as a woman what this must feel like for me…” The quote on the poster is what the female sergeant replied. — On a different note, this is going to be the last photo until the weekend is over. This project is tough to manage, but it’s probably also tough to read as well. I think it would be good for all of us to take a couple of days to just breathe. Okay? Okay. No clicking onto the site, either. Just take some time for yourself.  xo Grace

The first sub-clavicle piercings performed in Hungary. Apparently these piercings (they literally go underneath the collar bone and back out again) are illegal in the USA. I LOVE the look of them, but I’d be reticent to have an inexperienced piercer attempt this, and I doubt there are many in the UK experienced in this. I wonder if a similar effect could be made using dermal anchors? (via ModBlog)
