One of Japan’s most influential businesswomen has revealed she’s in a same-sex relationship

profeminist:

“Kazuyo Katsuma, one of Japan’s most powerful and influential businesswomen has revealed that she’s in a same-sex relationship with LGBTQ activist Hiroko Masuhara.

The businesswoman made the admission in an interview with Buzzfeed Japan. Speaking to the website, Katsuma said: “I kept the lid on my feelings of attraction to members of the same sex.

“After I met Hiroko, the ice in my heart melted, although it took a few years,” she continued. She then added: “I hope this interview article will cheer up someone and trigger a change.”

As for Katsuma’s partner, Hiroko Masuhara, she was part of the first LGBTQ couple to receive a partnership certificate in Japan back in 2015. At the time, she was dating Koyuki Higashi, however the relationship has since ended. But showing that there was no bad blood between the former couple, Higashi welcomed the news, calling the new couple a pair of “power lesbians.”

“I let you live here rent free!”

YEAH, BECAUSE I’M YOUR CHILD. YOU MADE ME. I AM YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. I WOULD NOT EXIST IF NOT FOR YOUR RECKLESS GAME OF GRAB-ASS. I AM YOUR FAULT. YOU HAVE TO– TO AN EXTENT –TAKE CARE OF ME. I DIDN’T ASK TO EXIST. I HAPPENED BECAUSE OF YOU. THIS IS ALL ON YOU.

If you want to live with a rent-paying roommate, get a roommate. Don’t fucking have children. Don’t have children. Because children are SEPARATE HUMAN BEINGS WHO WILL ALWAYS NEED FOOD AND SHELTER UNTIL THE DAY THEY DIE.

I’m just so, sooo pissed off about the West’s attitudes towards adult children. “Time to move out!” Bitch, to where?? With what money that I’m not already spending on groceries and essentials and giving to my parents for bills?

“I feed you and take care of you, and you don’t pay me!” I SHOULDN’T HAVE TO PAY MY MOTHER AND FATHER TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR RESPONSIBILITY

CHILDREN ARE A LIFETIME DEAL, YOURS AND THEIRS!!!

THEY DIDN’T ASK TO BE BORN!!!

DON’T GUILT YOUR CHILD FOR BEING ALIVE WHEN YOU’RE THE REASON THEY EXIST!!!!!!

i just want to let ya’ll know i was never asked out to a school dance in high school and have never been on a date in all 24 years of my life. i’m not mad about it, just trying to normalize it. 

I was never asked out in high school either and I was in my twenties when I started dating. I’m glad I’m not the only one who wants to normalize that. It made me feel like I was a freak/unlovable for the longest time and if someone were there to tell me “it’s ok you’re not weird for that” it would have made a huge difference to me.

I think the reason I enjoy Ghibli so much is it romanticizes the little things. It makes me want to bake, study, clean the house, garden, and more while listening to happy music and occasionally picking wildflowers and lying in the grass. It helps me find joy in day-to-day life and that’s honestly sooo important for my mental health.

Hayao Miyazaki has said on numerous occasions that he wants children to know that even when the world seems harsh and life is hard, it is always still worth living, and there is always something beautiful in it.

That mental health boost is intentional and Miyazaki wants you to believe that you should continue to live, even if just for those little things.

Seriously they are just weird

the year is 2018- how am i getting this much use out of this photo? is there this much ambiguity about a basic craft which has been practiced before humanity figured out mud bricks that people are still confused about how sheep work?

A lot of people today have extremely limited understanding of how anything rural works, thinking only of animals in the abstract.

Hence people who don’t understand that cows can continue to give milk way longer than their calves need it, or that you don’t have to kill sheep to get their wool, or who think that a good way to save the bees is for everyone to stop eating honey.

Like, if people don’t want to eat meat because they don’t want animals killed, and want to avoid eggs because of the cruelty prevalent in that industry, or milk because yeah, there are a fair number of issues with the dairy industry too… I will support that 100%.

But then there are people so woefully misinformed I can’t take them seriously at all.

its baffling- if you assume wool requires a sheep to be killed, thus each sheep in its lifetime will only provide one ‘crop’ of wool, then how freaking expensive would you then assume yarn to be? youd assume mutton would then be exceedingly common in the meat market as well

they make a logic tangent, and obviously abandon it two seconds after it passes where they want to go because thinking too hard will reveal that to be stupid

I have discovered that usually, the most militant and unpleasant vegans absolutely have no fucking idea how farming works. Ecological, sustainable farming – not massive, planet-damaging, animal-torturing industrial farming. If you don’t know that sheep have to be sheared before summer or they can literally die of heat, I am not going to listen to you. If you don’t realise that it only makes sense to use leather from animals if you kill them to eat them and that your vegan ass buying cheap plastic shoes three times a year is doing more damage to the environment than me buying leather shoes every five years, I’m not going to listen to you. If you refuse to consider that cows’ udders get painful if they don’t have a calf and aren’t milked, I won’t listen to you. And if you don’t have the basic biology knowledge required to realise that properly, sustainably raised farm animals have their place in the biosystem and that it would not, in fact, be a good thing to stop raising them, I am not going to listen to you. 

I was told by a vegan I am otherwise good friends with that “all farmers lie about everything to do with farming” and I just ???? do you have any idea how exhausting it is to fucking farm no one has the ENERGY to lie about stuff like “we need commercial bees as pass pollinators for fruit farms so you might as well eat honey tbh since they’re making an excess anyway”

by all means campaign for safer and better slaughterhouses (which btw is a current hot-button issue in the uk and is something one of my clients is backing and pursuing legally) and better animal welfare and make a point of pushing high-welfare products over shitty ones but demanding that everyone stops buying wool coats on the basis of a lie is stupid because the alternative is artificial fibres which are polluting the fucking oceans and killing off all the fish

This. We need to do better on animal welfare, as on so many things. But if you’re coming from a standpoint of ‘all farmers are evil soulless murderers’, then… I don’t really know how we’re going to have a conversation, so I’m going to politely back away.

All or which have either been given the name “gay” or “straight“ by the media despite coming out. There are more than two sexualities and this is a fact that most people (even on Tumblr nowadays) forget. People tend to assume that since someone is with a person of the same gender, they’re gay. (Or vice versa in Angelina or P!nk’s case) This is incorrect to assume because you’re erasing their identities in the process. The people on this list aren’t gay or straight, they’re bisexual. No matter how much the media tries to erase that.

AND DAVID FUCKING BOWIE

reblogging for all my bi kids out there who are trying to find bisexual role models. there are a lot of bi celebrities out there, it’s just that the media doesn’t like to accept that.

This is wonderful.
