The Band’s Visit: they will spin every Lazy Susan they ever pass no matter how inappropriate the situation 

Be More Chill: they don’t know how to say “Japan” normally

The Book of Mormon: you absolutely cannot ring a doorbell in their vicinity

Dear Evan Hansen: 90% of all the people they love are named either Ben or Michael

Falsettos: they speak in cryptic chess metaphors

Hamilton: they know impressively precise historical dates, but they always say them in weird voices

Les Misérables: they think every bread joke is about them

Natasha, Pierre, and the Great Comet of 1812: you can never tell if they’re quoting a song lyric or if they’re just talking because the lyrics they quote never rhyme

Next to Normal: they think pole dancing for your grieving mother is an acceptable thing to do

Newsies: they’re always getting bizarre injuries that they refuse to explain

Rent: they might jump on the table at any time. Also, you absolutely cannot ask them a) who died and b) how many minutes there are in a year.

Spring Awakening: they are either spouting poetry or communicating exclusively in expletives. There is no in between.

This is Megumi Igarashi

She’s a Japanese artist

Japan, the country with some of the most fucked up pornography and the penis festival

Where the vagina is basically illegal to talk about 

So she did a bunch of art featuring 3D sculptures of her vagina, including this kayak, and was put in jail for it

She was indicted again in December on obscenity charges for selling vagina art to crowdfund for the kayak and could spend two years in prison

In Japan, women’s vaginas are treated as though they are men’s property. The trains here usually display pornographic advertisements. As a woman, I find that blatant objectification to be humiliating. I’m disgusted by it. My body belongs to me. So, with this project I wanted to release the vagina from the standard Japanese paradigm. Japan is lenient towards expressions of male sexuality and arousal, but not so for women. When a woman uses her body in artistic expression, her work gets ignored, and people treat her as if she’s some sex-crazed idiot. It all comes back to misogyny. And the vagina is at the heart of it. The vagina is ridiculed. It’s lusted after. Men don’t see women as equals—to them, women are just vaginas. Then they call my vagina-themed work “obscene,” and judge me according to laws written by and for men. [x]

She plans to turn her trial in to a manga comic. She seems pretty sure she’s not going to do any jail time but if you’d like to help her pay for her inevitable fine and court fees, you can check out her online store. There are little glow in the dark vagina characters.

Texas woman kills her husband because he was beating their cat

His name is Kevin Leader. Our friend circles vaguely overlapped at my first college. I never formally met him, so he saw me before I ever saw him. I got a brief, seemingly harmless message on Facebook from him on September 20, 2011. I responded nicely, because that’s what I do. Clearly, I’m too nice for my own good sometimes, because he has not left me alone since. Here’s the first message:

1st off just want to say thank you for all the thoughtful and helpful responses. It means a lot.

2nd Thank you to a few of you that went above and beyond and got us information on this creep (within a few hours). We have enough information to take this all to the proper authorities. As it turns out Kevin Indra Leader has done this to girls other than just me. Please spread this around so other people don’t fall victim to his stalking. Here is what this creep looks like.

He’s messaged me again today (May 18, 2018), clearly still has no intention of leaving me alone. We’ve exhausted a lot of methods trying to contact his parents and getting a concrete address but haven’t had any luck. If anyone knows anything about that, it would be so helpful. I’ve filed the police report and will also be filing a restraining order. Thanks again so much everyone for spreading this and being so supportive and helpful, it’s really meant a lot.

EDIT: Kevin Indra Leader.
