Sugar Yum Yum

me!

The Sugar Monster's bits & pieces.

I ♥ sushi, dinosaurs, fat/body acceptance, tattoos, mixed drinks, monsters, robots, kissing, British TV, and cephalopods. Born and raised in Los Angeles, adjusting to life in the dirrrrty south. This is what I currently look like.

I have a real blog where I never shut up and a twitter feed that's mostly food, sex, booze, and TV.

Random images and quotes make me happy. Most of my posts/reblogs involve: fat, feminism, atheism, and TV. Sometimes there are naked people and/or sex toys! You have been warned!

I aim for anti-misogyny, anti-racism, anti-transphobia, anti-homophobia... (general anti-assholism) but sometimes fail. If you have the energy, I appreciate being called on my mistakes and bullshit!

Feel free to ask anything you'd like!




A friend of mine is a pastor, and we were discussing 50 Shades of Grey

macabrekawaii:

I’ve had adult members of my church “admit” that they read “50 Shades of Grey” in a tone of voice as if to suggest, “Yeah, that’s right, church boy. A SEX book. I go to church, but look at me. I’m cutting edge and contemporary.”

I responded, “There’s nothing ‘cutting edge’ about it. Sexual fantasies and fan fiction have been around since the dawn of storytelling. The only difference is that they don’t have to depend on degrading, misogynist, and oppressive anti-feminist gender roles like ‘50 Shades’ or ‘Twilight’ that seem to go weirdly pardoned because they happened to get published, as if that somehow ‘legitimizes’ those roles. You want to talk about open-minded? A real open mind would raise their standards, not only towards literature and gender roles in sexual fantasy, but also how in terms of how we view our roles in society despite what the media tells us.”

That seems to be the almost central message of the Christ. So, as your pastor, let me summarize by saying, sexual fantasy is awesome, but these books are garbage. You can do way better than this.”
