thenewinquiry:
Along with our hunger for grief comes impatience with emotional restraint. From the tearful confrontations of Intervention to the acting out of The Bad Girls Club, in our popular entertainments—period dramas like Downton Abbeybeing the rare exception—there’s nary a stiff upper lip in sight….

ELLE: I’m watching a video of you two. Rashida Jones: Are you watching our lesbian video on YouTube? Amy Poehler: Yeah, it’s pretty funny. Someone put together all the scenes of Ann and Leslie and then put a Counting Crows song to it. It looks like Parks and Rec is a love story about two women. ELLE: Are you guys hugging right now? Rashida Jones: Actually,...

Why We're Not Digitizing Zines →
thelalatheory:
Yeah this is interesting. I’m not a librarian but issues like this interest me personally because I’ve published so many zines (and so have many of my friends) and also because I have a hobbyist interest in making collections and archives and such. Kelly Wooten’s sensitivity to privacy is nice and I think probably the most important issue here. Zines are made in the medium they’re...

the original quote is from mary russo’s “the female grotesque,” which as far as i know is out of print.

I see you with your 5 o’clock shadows, your outfits held together with safety pins and strategically placed belts, your leather and your florals and the snarl on your faces and I can’t keep my heart from bursting.

I did it again.
queerandpresentdanger:
I’ve created fatnudes to highlight fat, naked bodies.
I’m a BIG believer in the power of visibility and I feel like a huge stepping stone in accepting and then loving ourselves as fat people is seeing bodies that look like ours represented. Also they’re just really pretty to look at, duh.
So it’d be really cute if you followed. It’d be cuter to signal boost. And it would...
