Wow. Just, wow. Quote of the week.

so this is 18-15n-77-30w’s reponse to me when i, a black woman, ask him repeatedly to STOP reblogging photos from me, of other black women, and adding his name to them as if he has something to do with it. i’m just going to put this here.
ETA: a clarification on exactly what my problem is with this.
since this happened (Friday May 25, ‘12), he’s repeatedly reblogged photos from myself and from other ppl that have specifically asked him not to, and he’s gone through mine and my friends archive to like personal photos of ourselves and our friends. He also shows no regard for the fact that he knowingly regularly reblogs underaged girls, and if you’re familiar with his blog you know that he and his followers regularly make comments on the body and attractiveness of the women he’s I really encourage people to report him to tumblr (abuse@tumblr.com) for posting underage girls, harassment, and violation of Tumblr’s TOS. he’s a pretty big/popular tumblr when it comes to showcasing black women, and if he can’t respect and listen to the women who he supposedly “loves”, he doesn’t need to be making a name for himself from our images.
you can click the link above, “a clarification,” to get a full rundown on the situation.
i’m just gonna keep reblogging this. because he’s still being a misogynistic stalker asshole.
ugh nigga is fuckin up

If you didn’t already know, the Flaming Lips hail from Norman, Oklahoma. So it’s no surprise they’ve turned their song: “Race for the Prize” into a theme song for the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Also, if you really dig the Lips (and why shouldn’t you?), check out the documentary, Fearless Freaks, about the band’s origins in Oklahoma.
“Vasoline,” Joe.
