You know, the one that gives housewives/full-time mothers a pension— wages for housework?

It’s ONLY A HUGE VICTORY FOR FEMINISM, SOCIALISM, AND WOMEN OF COLOR. Not a big deal or anything. Tumblr is mysteriously silent about this.

holy shit!

fucking COOL

I never once in my life thought I would live to see this day in any country on earth. So much of my life has been spent doing unpaid work-cleaning, cooking, organizing, and household-running….whether or not I had a “real job”, no matter what other obligations I have had. I STILL do the majority of housework. There is more than one reason my url is what it is.

Never in all my days would I have imagined I would see the day that women of color are paid for this amazing contribution to the running of the world, in any country, at any time.

Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to go cry tears of amazement that this has happened for any of us, anywhere, until there’s snot.

“Young adult fiction, at its best, exposes the complex emotional terrain of adolescence: the joys of maturation; the pain, confusion, and humiliation of growing into a different self. Young adult fiction also tells necessary stories about what happens to girls and boys as they try to make sense of their bodies and their desires, their changing relationships with family, friends, and themselves.”

Qi Baishi, Lotus and Dragonfly, n.d.

From the Indianapolis Museum of Art:

Although the lotus is well known as a sacred Buddhist symbol, it also has connotations of longevity, health, elegance, and nobility. Another association is the seventh month, or summer, as suggested here through the addition of the dragonfly.

Qi Baishi was best known for his spontaneous and energetic painting style. Due to illness, he could not work in the fields with the rest of his family in rural Hunan, and he was apprenticed to a carpenter. Though he lacked formal education, he gained a deep knowledge of painting, calligraphy, poetry, and seal-carving—all pursuits that identified him as a traditional Chinese literatus, or scholar-gentleman.
