Oh Boston. So glad everyone I know there seems to be all right (physically). So saddened about anyone who isn't.

Hopefully it won't be too inappropriate if now I ask for tumblr recs?
Here are some of my faves from my wadings in:
1. Bearded Men in Knitted Things. BECAUSE. COME ON YOU GUYS.
2. sassyscans. Scans from Sassy Magazine, the feminist magazine for teenage girls that changed my life, and died too young. Was so glad to find this since my mother threw out my precious box of back issues (along with the green Doc Martens I wore every day in high school).
3. Nimpho Ninjas. [NSFW] This blog is both hot and gives me back some faith in humanity. How to describe it. It's like the sex blog version of erotica as opposed to porn. Most of the content (photos, stories, etc.) comes from subscribers ("ninjas") and is curated by "NN" an anonymous guy who we somehow know nothing and everything about - he's Canadian, white, straight, has long hair and loves dogs - and photography, has a romantic nature and no shame about his appetites or yours. He posts pics of men (himself included), women, women with men, women with women, men with men and adds brief kind responses. There are weekly themes for the "Sunday Submissions," things like "mirrors," "scars," and "hobbies" - and photos are posted with stories/commentary/explanation by the photographers/subjects. Although we most often don't see people's faces, the content is amazingly personal and intimate. And I love how often there's stuff that's sexy without being completely explicit, day-to-day erotics of flaccid or only partially erect cocks, stuff like that.
4. Hey Girl Nathan Fillion. Like Feminist Ryan Gosling only with Fillion instead of Gosling, and geekiness instead of high theory. Still feminist though, I think.
5. Cute Boys With Cats.
6. Tattooed Men Holding Babies. (And Occasionally Small Animals).
7. Butches and Babies. My favorite are always the ones with tattoos, or dressed like nerdy teenage boys (i.e. glasses and plaid shirts).
8. And of course and always, Nimoy Sunset Pie, which inspired the best dream I ever had.
SO. LINKS PLZ.
