the great thing about lusting for gorgeous things i don’t need that are in museums is that at least there is no way i can even consider spending ludicrous amounts of money on it.

some very very dapper style going on in these outfits. making me want to pull out some of my hats.
i got this print from friend prices at the milwaukee zine fest (mine is printed on red instead of grey though) i am putting it above my work area as inspiration and admonishment.
SO GOOD. (i also love that there is a mixer, because cooking is work! and is not often enough recognized as such)

revolutionary women - a book of stencils. author queen of the neighborhood.
about the book: its “a radical feminist history and a street art resource, this handbook combines short biographies with striking and usable stencil images of 30 female activists, anarchists, feminists, freedom fighters, and visionaries. From Harriet Tubman, Emma Goldman, and Angela Davis to Vandana Shiva, Sylvia Rivera, and Lucy Parsons, this collection offers a subversive portrait celebrating the military prowess and revolutionary drive of these women whose violent resolve often shatters the archetype of woman as nurturer. A sampling of quotes from key writings and speeches gives voice to each woman’s ideologies, philosophies, struggles, and quiet humanity while the stencils offer further opportunities to commemorate these women and their actions through the reproduction of their likenesses.” its on amazon.
yeaaaaaaah that sounds amazing
