Marsha P. Johnson photographed in likely the 1970s or 1980s, in her apartment shared with roommate Randy Wicker.
ID - Marsha is a Black woman with short cropped dark hair, a radiantly wide smile, and a limp wrist sat in a chair and facing the camera over her shoulder.
a siddur belonging to marilyn monroe, complete with her annotations in pencil. many remember her as a sex symbol who lived a difficult life, but few know of her conversion & devotion to judaism. "everybody's always out to get them, no matter what they do," said monroe. "like me."
There's little easily found about Marilyn's Judaism, but these pictures are sweet. She looks genuinely happy.
Change is freedom, change is life.
It's always easier not to think for oneself. Find a nice safe hierarchy and settle in. Don't make changes, don't risk disapproval, don't upset your syndics. It's always easiest to let yourself be governed.
There's a point, around age twenty, when you have to choose whether to be like everybody else the rest of your life, or to make a virtue of your peculiarities.
Those who build walls are their own prisoners. I'm going to go fulfil my proper function in the social organism. I'm going to go unbuild walls.

Fantasy is nearer to poetry, to mysticism, and to insanity than naturalistic fiction is. It is a wilderness, and those who go there should not feel too safe . . . A fantasy is a journey. It is a journey into the subconscious mind, just as psychoanalysis is. Like psychoanalysis, it can be dangerous; and it will change you.
Dreams Must Explain Themselves by Ursula Le Guin
thinking about how ursula k leguin said "what goes too long unchanged destroys itself. The forest is forever because it dies and dies and so lives" and how everyday i wake up slightly different and i can feel myself shed the skin of who i used to be slowly, slowly, until i look back and can scarcely recognise who i was... but also she is still a part of me, part of the leaf litter and the humus, supporting me as i send new roots down and new leaves stretching up to the sunlight
This Jewish American Heritage Month, I would like to spotlight an incredible Jewish woman that I think more people should know about: Judith Love Cohen.
Judith Love Cohen was born in Brooklyn in 1933. As a child, she loved math and was often the only girl in her math classes. She would go on to study engineering in college while also dancing in the Metropolitan Opera ballet company. She received her bachelor and masters degrees in engineering from USC while working for an aerospace engineering company. She stated that she never once saw another female student in the engineering program. She went on to work on some major projects, but she is most well-known for her work on the Apollo 13 mission. She helped create the Abort Guidance System which would ultimately save the Apollo 13 astronauts after an oxygen tank exploded on their way to the moon. While she was working on the AGS, she went into labor with her fourth child, while at work. She took the problem she was working on for the project with her to the hospital, solved it, and gave birth to Jack Black. In 1990, she retired from engineering to establish a publishing company dedicated to inspiring children, primarily young girls, to pursue STEM and learn about the environment. She wrote and published a series called "You Can Be A Woman...", starting with engineer, with illustrations by her husband. Her son, Neil Siegel, is a computer scientist and engineer who has invented many systems used in military technology and consumer electronics. She passed away from cancer in 2016, but Neil wrote that "she must have influenced tens of thousands of young girls to become interested in professional careers of one sort or another."
Judith definitely deserves more recognition for her work and legacy as a pioneering woman in STEM and an absolute icon in Jewish-American history.

“I’m wearing a Jules of Margate 90s suit jacket (the manager at Bamontes has the same one), thrifted blouse, pants from a summer stock theater I once worked at as a stitcher. Shoes are from Canal St. Jewelry is my mothers. My style is inspired every day by the characters of life, à la Cindy Sherman or a theatre actor. I like to get dressed in the best costume for the day. Today I was feeling Red-Y.”

I LIKE TO IMAGINE THIS THING IS THE SIZE OF A BUILDING.
Apollo, 20
“I'm wearing velvet bell bottoms and an earthy patterned button up (thrifted), star themed Demonia boots, a crucifix from Gothic Renaissance, and a wine cheetah print bag from Angelkiss. My style is inspired by earthy, fun, and grungy imagery (I'm not wearing it here, but I also usually dress somewhat southern gothic as well)! My goal is to play with gender, pattern, and silhouette for something that represents myself the best ways possible."

Oh, just look at the clothes she's wearing. How could she afford to dress like that on her salary?
