The True Amazon, R. Crumb's ideal woman

The fine print:

The tragic aspect: From childhood this type of woman is often an object of ridicule and verbal abuse, resulting in a negative self-image. R. Crumb, 2000

Mississippi Masala (1991) | dir. Mira Nair

🗽🗳#ArtIsAWeapon

Y'all, here's yet another reason why I'm so hopeful about NYC's Democratic mayoral candidate @zohrankmamdani: He understands the transformative power of the arts, and the need for under-resourced, under-represented artists of color to be funded and supported! ART FOR US/BY US/ABOUT US MATTERS!!!!!

Now that he's won the primary, we gotta keep working to ensure that Zohran is elected as NYC's next mayor in November!!!!

Shout out to his filmmaker mother #MiraNair @pagliji, who directed Mississippi Masala, Queen of Kwate and Salaam Bombay!

🎥 by @mashadowell and ✍️🏾by @browngirlmag 🔂Zohran Mamdani (@zohrankmamdani) isn’t just another politician. He’s one of us — a child of immigrants, a bold progressive, and the son of Mira Nair, the legendary South Asian filmmaker behind Mississippi Masala, a story that made so many of us feel seen for the very first time.🤍🫶🏾🎬

Zohran knows what it means to grow up between cultures, to fight for belonging, and to build power in spaces that weren’t built for us. As a proud Ugandan-Indian Muslim New Yorker, he has consistently shown up for working-class communities, spoken truth to power, and taken bold stands — even when it wasn’t convenient.💯

He’s not afraid to say:

✅ Housing is a human right — rent should be stabilized, and gentrification must be challenged.

✅ Ceasefires matter — he speaks up for global justice without flinching.

✅ Public safety comes from care, not cops — our communities deserve dignity, not surveillance.

✅ Working families deserve real support — not lip service from the political elite.

This is a once-in-a-generation chance to elect someone who reflects the diaspora dream — not just in identity, but in values.🇺🇸🫶🏾🇲🇽🫶🏾

Zohran’s campaign is powered by grassroots people, not corporate donors. It’s bold, unapologetic, and for us — the daughters of aunties who dreamed bigger, the creators, the disruptors, and the organizers.

🗳️ Vote Zohran Mamdani for Mayor ... because NYC deserves a leader who actually represents the future we’re building.✔️🤲🏾🙏🏾

Speed is the opposite of purpose.The path is made by walking, and purpose is found by experiencing life consciously-surrendering to each moment, looking people in the eyes, and listening with attention. Satisfaction is found in the pause, in the calm. Answers are also found there, in the silence of a room, often in the middle of the night, sometimes through tears. When things are going well, you barely stop to think; it's when something doesn't feel right that you need to hit the brakes. Listen with attention, and live with intention.
