OH GOD HOW DO YOU WRITE SMUT HOW SHOULD I START

(via International Slutty Women’s Day: A Story in GIFs)
Do you guys remember this story? The greatest piece of feminist gif journalism of all time? Word on the street is that its creator is on the job market. Tell your favorite magazine publisher before it’s too late…
This woman is giving you a thumbs up. IS THIS FEMINIST?
TRIGGER WARNING. The “thumbs up” is the most phallocentric gesture imaginable. You are literally telling someone that a good job is the equivalent of growing a penis. In this case, two penises.
Additionally, this kind of casual congratulation has been known to put the recipient in a good mood, which can lead to entire minutes of complacency about their own privilege. PROBLEMATIC.

In early June, the publishing industry takes Manhattan for Book Expo America. We’re taking the opportunity to celebrate the millions of amazing readers and writers who call the Tumblr community home.
Join us at Housing Works Bookstore Cafe for free drinks, fun swag, mixing, mingling, and readings by Edan Lepucki, Alexander Chee, and Baratunde Thurston.
Please join us!
P.S. For anyone who cares: I chose the word “babes” because I liked it as a gender- and orientation-neutral word for “humans you may find attractive.” I plan to find all of you attractive, personally. Maybe you will too…
I think this one of Jacket hugging the library books has to be turned into a poster for me.
How I miss this book-hugging beauty.
“The difference between Recommended Reading and an outfit like One Story, which for the last decade has published pamphlets containing a single story, is that the blog aims to “meet readers where they already are” — that is, on Tumblr, where posts are easily exchanged and discussed.
The shift of this model onto the web not only utilizes the platform’s capabilities, Samuel says, but also “[expands] on the natural trend of social media-based curation.
A tweet is ephemeral and restricted — there often isn’t enough space to recommend something and explain its value.” A full-length story with an introduction forcibly bucks social media’s tendency to compress.
By combining the communal nature of its platform with the personal, expressive touch of an editor’s note, “the first major literary magazine to publish directly to Tumblr” is bringing something new to the world of online writing.
Their second issue was published today, with a brand-new translation of Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector; Jim Shepard will introduce a new story by Marie-Helene Bertino next week. New stories and old, shared by writers who care with readers who care just as much: That’s something anyone would recommend.”
