a curious, but beautiful oddity

...and other things they'd say about me
if I was on Antique's Roadshow:
a 20-something
queer/writer/musician/lover/fool
+
wordplay, art, conversation,
vanity, comedy, spam,
links, reblogs, etc...

IS THIS EVEN REAL. WHAT IS THIS?

I wonder if Ron Paul would approve of this message?

Did anybody read the watermark on the bottom?
Like politics has any integrity over other forms of advertising. Women’s bodies are synonymous with selling a product, and have been for centuries. If a woman (or any person for that matter) opts to take agency of their body in a way that advocates for a candidate they side with, right on. What’s “NOT COOL” is the legislature and mindset that restricts any person’s choice to display themselves as they wish to be seen. 
Pardon the paragraph, but this kind of shit just really tweaks my tuning pegs. It’s not the place of a candidate’s privilege (financial, racial, gendered, political power, etc) to objectify a body and pay to have them magazined, billboarded, and tubefed to the public in association with their campaign; but it’s sure as buckshot not the MS Paint master that captioned this photo’s place to police the body which wants and self-elects to associate itself with a candidate.
