Holy shit my dreams are weird.
Mar. 17th, 2010 02:29 pmI totally had a dream where I was talking to this woman who was all super-preened and perfect. And she was criticising the way some women don't shave *everything*. You know the score, they're ugly, they're dirty, etc etc. I burst into this weird vagina-monlogues-esque freeform about the beauty of a natural vulva.
"You mean you don't like it? You don't see it? A great, hairy, lippy, rose-like bloom down there? Burgeoning with curls and pink and flesh? Soft and rough and generous and unashamed? Just total and undeniable, complete and unafraid? It's a bloom, a flower, a great, vital, cuddly pink revolution."
That's not the exact wording, but what a dream. Though, I blame Courbet.<-- NSFW LINK! Though it IS fine art. ;)

Disablism is alive and well.

Cabbie fined for refusing guide dog.
All I can say is - GOOD. The article says one in three guide dog owners were turned away by taxi drivers. ONE IN THREE. That is a fucking shocking number!
ETA: Oh, there's a bit of racism in the article too. The Department of Transport is blaming the immigrant drivers for turning away the dogs.
