Read the Printed Word!

Lo; also known as Mechanista. Likes fish, robots, necromancy, and long walks on the beach. An ardent and angry feminist, masculist, and humanist, and a self-identified progressive liberal pinko. Reblogs feminist and political things half the time, neat pictures, fanart, and science stuff half the time, and posts her own art, thoughts on art theory, mysticism, and feminism the other half the time.

Doer of Aquapunk.

sheerrri: One day the Taliban will probably succeed in killing me. I am resigned to this fate. But for as long as I am alive, I will not rest in my desire to lead my people out an abyss of corruption and poverty. For this reason, I am running for the Afghan presidency in 2014. I was born a girl who should have died. But if God wills it, I may die having become the first female president of a country I love and a country that will finally see all of its children—both boys and girls—born into peace and security, not violence and war. Fawzia Koofi, Afghanistan’s first female parliamentarian.
