Fare Thee Well, Tumblr

Hello, friends!

I’ve come to the hard decision of leaving Tumblr. It’s become too hard to keep up with everything that goes on here, so for my sanity, I have to go cold turkey.

Dear Kelly,

There’s a good chance you’ll never see this note, seeing as how you’re busy being awesome at life: churning out hit singles, killing it on “Ellen,” raising your gorgeous kid.

But I’m writing in anyway, because being picked on for your appearance is so universal — and your response to it is such a thing of beauty — that I feel compelled to write.

You give us your voice and your grace, neither of which shrinks or grows based on your dress size.

You surround yourself with joy and authenticity, reminding us to do the same.

You speak with honesty.

And by doing all of that, you create a better world for your daughter — for all of our daughters and sons — to inherit.

Columnist Heidi Stevens’ open letter to Kelly Clarkson – singer, mother, target of fat-shamers

happy 100th birthday, billie holiday // april 7, 1915 - july 17, 1959 // “no two people on earth are alike, and it’s got to be that way in music or it isn’t music.”

“Behind me, Billie was on her last song. I picked up the refrain, humming a few bars. Her voice sounded different to me now. Beneath the layers of hurt, beneath the ragged laughter, I heard a willingness to endure. Endure - and make music that wasn’t there before.“ President Barack Obama “With few exceptions, every major pop singer in the US during her generation has been touched in some way by her genius. It is Billie Holiday who was, and still remains, the greatest single musical influence on me. Lady Day is unquestionably the most important influence on American popular singing…" Frank Sinatra “Once, when I was playing at the Apollo, Billie Holiday was working a block away at the Harlem Opera House. Some of us went over between shows to catch her, and afterwards we went backstage. I did something then, and I still don’t know if it was the right thing to do - I asked for her autograph.” Ella Fitzgerald “If I hear a record once, I usually never listen to it again. I rarely listen to music - unless it’s Billie Holiday.“ Barbra Streisand “I have the ability to sing with emotion and feeling, but if you say I sound like Billie Holiday, that’s cool. Let’s look at who Billie was: she was this person, this singer, this beautiful diva who could move the audience with the slightest gesture of her hand.“ Erykah Badu "Billie Holiday….she is so subtle, she can milk you with two notes. She can go no farther than from a to b, and she can make you feel like she told you the whole universe…" Janis Joplin "My great hero is Billie Holiday." Tim Curry

MBTI AESTHETICS:  I N F P (2/?)

INFPs are true idealists, always looking for the hint of good in even the worst of people and events, searching for ways to make things better. While they may be perceived as calm, reserved, or even shy, INFPs have an inner flame and passion that can truly shine.
