[Top:] Professor talks about decomposing archives
[Bottom:] Excuse yourself so you can go cry in the bathroom
This happened to me in class today. She was talking about how she was in this small town in Guatemala and the archives were stored in the attic of a shop in the marketplace, but there was a one-foot tall airspace above the shop, so nature destroyed most of the town records. So sad.Tumblr link here

This dress was inspired by the student in my sociology class who thought that all feminists were hairy and butch. I just want to make sure that everyone knows that a feminist can wear whatever the fuck she or he (or both or neither) feels like wearing. My sociology professor loved the dress and she gave me extra credit! I used a potato stamp to make the print, I used a vintage pattern to make the dress, and I embroidered the phrase “This is what a feminist looks like” on the bodice.

I give this an A+
