Todd Haynes' 2015 film has overturned conventional wisdom about what makes a cult classic.
This article is so earnest… but does the author understand what femslash is? Like, does she know? Because that’s your explanation right there. And the usual dearth of quality LGBT movies. Um?
This article is amazing - it’s one of the most clueless things I’ve ever read. It genuinely doesn’t seem to occur to the writer that Carol fandom might be made up of sapphic women. Who from now on shall be known as ‘Carolinians’.
On May 29, 2014, the issue of timemagazine magazine which proclaimed the “Transgender Tipping Point” was revealed with me on the cover. June 1, 2015 a year and 3 days later, Caitlyn Jenner’s vanityfair cover was revealed proclaiming #CallMeCaitlyn I am so moved by all the love and support Caitlyn is receiving. It feels like a new day, indeed, when a trans person can present her authentic self to the world for the first time and be celebrated for it so universally. Many have commented on how gorgeous Caitlyn looks in her photos, how she is “slaying for the Gods.” I must echo these comments in the vernacular, “Yasss Gawd! Werk Caitlyn! Get it!” But this has made me reflect critically on my own desires to ‘work a photo shoot’, to serve up various forms of glamour, power, sexiness, body affirming, racially empowering images of the various sides of my black, trans womanhood. I love working a photo shoot and creating inspiring images for my fans, for the world and above all for myself. But I also hope that it is my talent, my intelligence, my heart and spirit that most captivate, inspire, move and encourage folks to think more critically about the world around them. Yes, Caitlyn looks amazing and is beautiful but what I think is most beautiful about her is her heart and soul, the ways she has allowed the world into her vulnerabilities. The love and devotion she has for her family and that they have for her. Her courage to move past denial into her truth so publicly. These things are beyond beautiful to me. A year ago when my Time magazine cover came out I saw posts from many trans folks saying that I am “drop dead gorgeous” and that that doesn’t represent most trans people. (It was news to be that I am drop dead gorgeous but I’ll certainly take it). But what I think they meant is that in certain lighting, at certain angles I am able to embody certain cisnormative beauty standards. Now, there are many trans folks because of genetics and/or lack of material access who will never be able to embody these standards. More importantly many trans folks don’t want to embody them and we shouldn’t have to to be seen as ourselves and respected as ourselves . It is important to note that these standards are also infomed by race, class and ability among other intersections. I have always been aware that I can never represent all trans people. No one or two or three trans people can. This is why we need diverse media representstions of trans folks to multiply trans narratives in the media and depict our beautiful diversities. I started #TransIsBeautiful as a way to celebrate all those things that make trans folks uniquely trans, those things that don’t necessarily align with cisnormative beauty standards. For me it is necessary everyday to celebrate every aspect of myself especially those things about myself that don’t align with other people’s ideas about what is beautiful. #TransIsBeautiful is about, whether you’re trans or not, celebrating all those things that make us uniquely ourselves. Most trans folks don’t have the privileges Caitlyn and I have now have. It is those trans folks we must continue to lift up, get them access to healthcare, jobs, housing, safe streets, safe schools and homes for our young people. We must lift up the stories of those most at risk, statistically trans people of color who are poor and working class. I have hoped over the past few years that the incredible love I have received from the public can translate to the lives of all trans folks. Trans folks of all races, gender expressions, ability, sexual orientations, classes, immigration status, employment status, transition status, genital status etc.. I hope, as I know Caitlyn does, that the love she is receiving can translate into changing hearts and minds about who all trans people are as well as shifting public policies to fully support the lives and well being of all of us. The struggle continues…

I fucking love elephants
Perfect
definitely one of my favorite pieces so far. please let me know what you think. xx
requested by pazespina. topic: something you regret doing.
I don’t mind your lies as long as you part your thighs, roll back your eyes and surprise me with the slow moans that roll from the back of your throat, hitting all the high notes.
We’ll roll in someone else’s bed, and I won’t pretend to believe a thing you’ve said. I’m pretty sure you lied just so I would give you head: Your words to me were just a little too sweet– you came a little too quickly in the love seat, too upbeat for me to believe that you sincerely wanted more than
“Fuck me,” with a belly roll. I’m too confessional, but I’m a poet. I know you know it, I know you knew it, I know I blew it, but had no choice but to do it. I can write stanzas about where your hands were, I can write lines about the subtle dutty wine in your hips when you slipped out of your slip and bit your lip, feigning heaven-sent innocence and in a sense I should have expected it: to be tricked, to be fooled by a girl who has schooled me in love before, who taught me to never hit the floorboards for anyone I adore, to never expect more than a poor man’s excuse for giving me the boot. Love, really. Did you think I’d believe you?
I tried not to come up, but then the protests blew up and with my luck I ended up on the four o’ clock to Berlin sure I wouldn’t run in- to you, worried about what I would do to and for you, debating whether I should ignore you and pretend I never had feelings for you.
I told myself that whatever happened, I wouldn’t write about it, but dammit you’re such a good muse, and I can’t choose what to say on a page, just like I can’t choose when to walk away, just like I can’t choose what you did to my head that day in May– but I can say:
that I was never good at secrets. I can say: that what you have of mine, just keep it. I can say: that once you said Come through I knew not to trust you even though, God, I wanted to. And it’s the writer’s curse to plant trees with words, to build monuments of verse whenever something hurts. And I know hookups don’t matter, I know it’s just sex you’re after, I know you came first, came second, no third, and I want to say I’m sorry, but I know I don’t have to worry. You don’t read my poems, so this will never be heard.
I am in love with this! Is this really your voice?? offcenterwriting or someone else’s??
thanks for the love! xx man I forgot about this, wrote it months ago - yep, that’s really my voice
audio quality killing me tho

The last few weeks in videogame culture have seen a level of combativeness more marked and bitter than any beforehand.
First, a developer—a woman who makes games who has had so much piled on to her that I don’t want to perpetuate things by naming her—was the target of a harassment campaign that...
the little one runs straight into a tree. so fucking cute.
holy fuck. i think i have elephant feels.
He was texting

WE JUMPED OUT A WINNNNNDOW
If you think women are crazy you’ve never had a dude go from hitting on you to literally threatening to kill you in the time it takes you to say “no thanks.”

Why did the Chicken cross the road?
Plato: For the greater good.
Karl Marx: It was a historical inevitability.
Machiavelli: So that its subjects will view it with admiration, as a chicken which has the daring and courage to boldly cross the road, but also with fear, for whom among them has the strength to contend with such a paragon of avian virtue? In such a manner is the princely chicken's dominion maintained.
Hippocrates: Because of an excess of light pink gooey stuff in its pancreas.
Jacques Derrida: Any number of contending discourses may be discovered within the act of the chicken crossing the road, and each interpretation is equally valid as the authorial intent can never be discerned, because structuralism is DEAD, DAMMIT, DEAD!
Thomas de Torquemada: Give me ten minutes with the chicken and I'll find out.
Timothy Leary: Because that's the only kind of trip the Establishment would let it take.
Douglas Adams: Forty-two.
Nietzsche: Because if you gaze too long across the Road, the Road gazes also across you.
Oliver North: National Security was at stake.
B.F. Skinner: Because the external influences which had pervaded its sensorium from birth had caused it to develop in such a fashion that it would tend to cross roads, even while believing these actions to be of its own free will.
Carl Jung: The confluence of events in the cultural gestalt necessitated that individual chickens cross roads at this historical juncture, and therefore synchronicitously brought such occurrences into being.
Jean-Paul Sartre: In order to act in good faith and be true to itself, the chicken found it necessary to cross the road.
Ludwig Wittgenstein: The possibility of "crossing" was encoded into the objects "chicken" and "road", and circumstances came into being which caused the actualization of this potential occurrence.
Albert Einstein: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road crossed the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
Aristotle: To actualize its potential.
Samuel Beckett: It got tired of waiting.
Buddha: If you ask this question, you deny your own chicken-nature.
Albert Camus: The gods had commanded it to cross and recross the road.
Winston Churchill: It was moving into broad sunlit uplands...
Howard Cosell: It may very well have been one of the most astonishing events to grace the annals of history. An historic, unprecedented avian biped with the temerity to attempt such an herculean achievement formerly relegated to homo sapiens pedestrians is truly a remarkable occurence.
Salvador Dali: The Fish.
Darwin: It was the logical next step after coming down from the trees.
Emily Dickinson: Because it could not stop for death.
Conan Doyle: It is quite a three-pipe problem, Watson.
T. S. Eliot: To examine the wasteland for worms.
Epicurus: For fun.
Ralph Waldo Emerson: It didn't cross the road; it transcended it.
Richard Feynman: Surely it was joking.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe: The eternal hen-principle made it do it.
Ernest Hemingway: To die. In the rain.
Werner Heisenberg: We are not sure which side of the road the chicken was on, but it was moving very fast.
David Hume: Out of custom and habit.
Saddam Hussein: This was an unprovoked act of rebellion and we were quite justified in dropping 50 tons of nerve gas on it.
George Mallory: Because it was there.
Jack Nicholson: 'Cause it (censored) wanted to. That's the (censored) reason.
Pyrrho the Skeptic: What road?
Ronald Reagan: I forget.
John Sununu: The Air Force was only too happy to provide the transportation, so quite understandably the chicken availed himself of the opportunity.
The Sphinx: You tell me.
Henry David Thoreau: To live deliberately ... and suck all the marrow out of life.
Charles Dickens: It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, chicken were crossing roads, chicken were staying behind...
Orwell: All roads are crossable by all chicken, but some roads are more crossable than others.
Dostoyevsky: After having killed an old hen, the chicken was wandering deliriously along the empty night streets of St. Petersburg and waiting for the darkness that never came; he crossed Nevsky and after a while found himself in an unfamiliar part of the city.
Ecclesiast: There are times for the chicken to cross roads and there are times to stay at the roadside.
Hamlet: For 'tis better to suffer in the mind the slings and arrows of outrageous road maintenance than to take arms against a sea of oncoming vehicles...
J. R. R. Tolkein: The chicken, sunlight coruscating off its radiant yellow-white coat of feathers, approached the dark, sullen asphalt road and scrutinized it intently with its obsidian-black eyes. Every detail of the thoroughfare leapt into blinding focus: the rough texture of the surface, over which count-less tires had worked their relentless tread through the ages; the innumerable fragments of stone embedded within the lugubrious mass, perhaps quarried from the great pits where the Sons of Man labored not far from here; the dull black asphalt itself, exuding those waves of heat which distort the sight and bring weakness to the body; the other attributes of the great highway too numerous to give name. And then it crossed it.
Dorothy Parker: Travel, trouble, music, art / A kiss, a frock, a rhyme /The chicken never said they fed its heart / But still they pass its time.
Edgar Allan Poe: Never More.
Lord give me strength.
"When I was fifteen, I was raped by three boys while competing at a gymnastics tournament. I was so ashamed, that I stood on a train track, and waited for the train to come. At the last moment, I tried to jump away. I woke up after a month. It was the middle of the night, and I could immediately tell that something was missing. I started feeling all over my body, and that’s when I realized that I’d lost my arm. Now I counsel teenagers who have been diagnosed with HIV. I’m normally the first to meet with them after they get their results. I try to explain to them that there’s a way out of even the most impossible situations."
