”So when the most influential black woman in the world, armed with degrees from some of the best institutions in the world, names Beyonce, a singer best known for a song called “Bootylicious,” as someone she aspires to be, how can we expect young black girls who didn’t go to Princeton to aspire to more than that?

I like what Rosie Martin has to say in this video; I haven’t seen her book, but her attitude about the relationship between making and meaning is pretty cool.
A DIY revolution has been sweeping over the blogosphere for a while now, creating a legion of crafting enthusiasts looking to make for themselves the things that they see in stores, or wish that they did. We’ve seen a lot of jewelry and accessory how-to’s, in addition to an abundance of home goods and gifts – but what about clothes?
If you haven’t had much experience with sewing and patterns, the whole premise can be pretty intimidating. Rosie Martin’s book DIY Couture: Create Your Own Fashion Collection will help you to conquer that confusion with simple, visual instructions and cool styling. The DIY Couture collection is comprised of 10 stylish, easy to make pieces of clothing that you can recreate in your favorite fabrics, textures and colors.

Sophie M. Herold is back.
http://studying-lgbtq-people.tumblr.com/
And now she wants to “study” LGBTQ people to “find out if LGBTQ people react like normal people.”
To participate she is asking for your full name, address and a picture. DO NOT give her any of this information. She has in the past outed people to their parents etc. and passed personal information on to anti-LGBTQ organisations.
Again, DO NOT GIVE HER YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION!

A federal appeals court in Boston found on Thursday that a U.S. law defining marriage as a union between a man and a woman unconstitutionally denies federal benefits to lawfully married same-sex couples in a ruling that promises to push the issue of gay marriage to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The ruling on the 1996 law, the Defense of Marriage Act, marked a victory for gay rights groups and U.S. President Barack Obama, whose administration announced last year it considered the law unconstitutional and would no longer defend it.
