The older I get the more I realise there are no grown ups and nobody knows what the fuck they’re doing.

Brooklyn Artist Reveals Strategy Behind Anti-Street Harassment Posters
Tatyana Fazlalizadeh’s posters about street harassment have gotten plenty of attention recently. From the New York Times to Fast Co, Fazlalizadeh’s posters have raised raised eyebrows because they’re so simple and to the point. They feature a simple aesthetic, usually a hand-drawn face of a black woman with notes that ring true for most women who’ve been harassed on the street. Captions have messages like, “My name is not baby”, and “Stop telling women to smile.”
Fast Co.’s Zak Stone caught up with Fazlalizadeh recently and the artist revealed the strategy she’s used to place the ads.
“I’ve put them in places where I’ve personally been harassed, and where I know street harassment is prevalent—which, honestly is everywhere,” she told Stone. “So, I’ve placed them on mailboxes in downtown business areas, on abandoned buildings in residential areas, on spare walls in tourist areas. Anywhere I can.”

Hey y’all, sorry for the lack of posting lately, I’m currently in London for a theatre class, and using Tumblr eats the bejeezus out of the limited bandwith/minutes I receive on the weekly in my flat. Thought I’d drop by and entertain you with a highlight of my adventures in this wonderful city. I also have yet to post a personal photo, and thought it was high time you met your fellow crazy. Fuck yeah Ravenclaw FTW!
