All I Do is Eat and Sleep and Sing

This is a tumblr belonging to Glasgow-based writer Bridget Orr.

Quote reblogged from Marginally mediocre.

Do something else besides feminism. I’m serious… Please, find something else you love and take feminist theory there. It gets lonely over here in tech and video games – I have a great crew of other feminists but we are a little island in a vast sea. We need more feminist minded business bloggers, feminist theory wielding finance bloggers. Labor organizers with a feminist lens blogging. Can you imagine what Deadspin (the sports blog) would look like with a feminist on staff? Restructure writes about science, tech and feminism – join her! Publish a blog doing literary criticism with a feminist lens! Take on The New York Times! Talk about class issues and feminism. Whatever it is, apply your feminism in a different space.

DEAR GOD YES. For the love of women, let this happen. More city council meetings, less “awareness raising.”

(from here)

Whatever this is, yes, okay. Also maybe not even “as a feminist?” Like, maybe just be a great person in whatever field you are in? Gayist, womanist, manist, animalist, conspiracy theorist. Whateverist.

Just be smart and funny. Whoever you are. Less causes to be dour and write essays about = more solutions. Solutions that don’t require the pepper of blog opinions but the saffron of a slowly simmering daily sunny disposition are key.

  I kind of agree with this and it’s mostly reflected in my personal priorities but…hmm. I do think it’s funny/silly that...
