That’s us That’s me That’s you A river with eyes Floating along the waves Trying to see inside of itself Allegorical caves describe us in this maze that we’ve dubbed a race for rats like we didn’t originate from the slab and splat that wrote shrews onto the scene and deep in our genes we are still connected Like roots like vines just beneath the surface we stand aligned with the serpent and the dove All sides of every coin we permeate through it all Above Below Is there a single place that the universe that source that God cannot be Create creator and prove your own doubt wrong Skepticism will not solve the problem of ineptitude It’s in you Spread your wings and make room for possibility to stand taller than Justice in this realm All things are possible Manifest our realities Start today With a visual Assign a word Do an action Change the world Be love Be empathy Change the world Change your world Change you Change the universe

To our dear sweet gorgeous lovely Tumblr followers,

First of all, we just want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for supporting Bitchtopia Mag. Your likes and reblogs and comments mean a lot to us and go a long way towards helping female voices be heard! Just by reading this right now, you are supporting a grassroots intersectional feminist publication and, wow, thats like really cool of you. 

And since y’all are so cool, we were wondering if you could help us out a little extra. 

Here is the thing: right now, our magazine is run entirely on a volunteer basis of incredible women. However, we’re trying to take this little community of feminist artists and grow it into a more professional publication. So we're changing our name, to Rose Water, and we're raising money so we can start paying our hard-working contributors, editors, and social media team. 

Please consider donating to help us accomplish this! With a little help from you, we can post even more awesome and ~rebloggable~ content. And if that’s not incentive enough, there are also some fabulous prizes available for those who donate, including handmade rings and feminist embroidery!

Any amount of donation is SO appreciated. And if you can’t donate right now, you can still help! Just do what you do best, and give this baby a reblog -- help us spread the word!

Thank you thank you thank you. 

Stay cool, 

We LOVE this beautiful photo series, "Send In The Clowns: The Power of Makeup". Check out the artist statement here 

“I’m attempting to shine a brief light on the infinite complexity that is gender and identity. Gender is a tough subject to tackle. There are many varying facets to consider and we have all been culturally conditioned in a way that our first instinct on the subject is almost always wrong.”  - Layla So

Don’t forget to self care!
