I’m shannon, I’m 20, I live in newcastle australia and study social science with a major in gender studies. I mostly post political stuff, some fashion stuff, some art stuff, a lot of unnecessary bullet point lists and recounts of the behaviour that I regrettably subject others to when I’ve been drinking. try not to fall in love with me. trigger warning for discussion of rape culture, sexual violence, racism, cissexism, heterosexism, etc. var ref = (''+document.referrer+''); document.write(''); Tumblr (3.0; @shannonwest)http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/6cf7c079c50dbc8c058b52aa08e0c4d3/tumblr_mjc326oRMx1qerxuqo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/post/51298849142http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/post/51298849142Sat, 25 May 2013 09:07:01 -0400<p>nick has convinced me to briefly attend the great northern without make up on so if you see me tonight don&#8217;t look at me</p>http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/post/51295754283http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/post/51295754283Sat, 25 May 2013 07:49:40 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/91ce083732c64a852eb8f0f91e0b72a4/tumblr_mncqgf4T4N1qzskfro1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>a hot boy and an even hotter pizza</p>http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/post/51294972793http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/post/51294972793Sat, 25 May 2013 07:26:39 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/35f7bbb00cc846ed9d359a9b77be5939/tumblr_mmt2doIANu1rs1gaeo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://losed.tumblr.com/post/51286757829/daie-rothenberg">losed</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/ruckblick/6638338613/in/photostream">DaIe Rothenberg</a></em></p> </blockquote>http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/post/51292279251http://shannonwest.tumblr.com/post/51292279251Sat, 25 May 2013 05:59:06 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/451cd00c7421c378d08672c23b6cf911/tumblr_mn9hxbhbNa1qlkcy1o1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://missrep.tumblr.com/post/51158255883/women-have-always-fought-shaka-zulu-had-an">missrep</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><span>“Women have always fought.
