How wild is it that every version of you probably exists still, somewhere, in someone’s memory? The messy you, crying on the floor exists still in your mind. The happy, sun-soaked you, exists in your best friend’s memory. No part of you has died, all parts of us exist always, simultaneously and hidden.

Watch: Danielle Brooks just gave the most heartfelt speech about what it’s like to finally see your body represented in the media

And that’s the vision: As Brooks wrote, “Editors, we want to be seen. Designers, we want to be dressed. Retailers, we want options. Women, we must do this together.”

man: has anyone ever told you you’re beautiful? me: oh no sir, today is my first day out of doors and papà forbade mirrors in the house lest we fall victim to vanity

I haven’t had much to say about the Ghostbusters reboot other than I love the costuming and I’m going to see it twice.

I have to say what’s in my black fat girl feelings right now.

I’m a little surprised that throughout all the discussions about the reboot and the sexism that no-one has spotlighted how the entertainment industry’s beauty standards and the male gaze plays into the Ghostbusters reboot mess?

They’re not only mad because it’s women. They’re mad about not being able to jerk it to The New Ghostbusters lineup. They’re mad because their expectations of getting at least one hypersexualized, female protagonist wasn’t met– not even one sexy secretary. That’s rough, buddy.

Let’s be oh so real here: if it were Megan Fox, Zooey Deschanel, Cameron Diaz, and Jennifer Lawrence in the Ghostbusters reboot, we wouldn’t be having as much of a problem. McCarthy, Wiig, Jones and McKinnon in this movie are not funny-hot, like Cameron Diaz dorky dancing in a pair of underoos in Charlie’s Angels. They’re just funny and serving you soft-butch, wild-butch, nerd-chic and (albeit a little too stereotypical) cut-a-bitch realness and it’s a problem for these assholes.

This Ghostbusters reaction falls into the same category as men who treat women poorly simply because they don’t find them attractive/fuckable/worth their time.

Sage Sohier chronicled the love of gay couples in the 1980s in her collection At Home With Themselves. Spurred by the AIDS crisis and the media representations of promiscuity and disease in the community, the project aimed to dispel stereotypes about gay love and showcase lesbian and gay couples of all ages, backgrounds and proclivities, capturing a visual that often went unseen.

“I was interested in how, as a culture, we weren’t used to looking at two men touching, and was struck by the visual novelty yet total ordinariness of these same-sex relationships. The visual ambiguity of same-sex relationships also intrigued me: were these sisters or friends or lovers or a mother and daughter?“

The photographic endeavor was also prompted by Sohier’s father. The book is dedicated to him and his partner Lee.

this whole ordeal where the university of chicago is now sending out letters to new students warning them that the school won’t be providing safe spaces or trigger warnings is so indicative of the fact that people don’t know what safe spaces and trigger warnings are supposed to be lmao

they’re not meant to “coddle” people or “shield them from ideas that conflict with their own” and they’re not meant to prevent freedom of speech and exchanges of ideas

safe spaces and trigger warnings are intended to help people cope with trauma. they’re not even necessarily intended to mean “hey, this class/presentation includes x subject, so you should steer clear” but more “this is a warning that this might contain subjects that make you uncomfortable and/or anxious, so this is an opportunity to prepare yourself and not be blind-sided by it”

denying students access to safe spaces and trigger warnings in the name of a free exchange of ideas is such bullshit and sounds more like a cover for the fact that u chicago doesn’t care about taking very easy steps to ensure all students are prepared and safe in their learning environment so they can learn as much as possible and do their best work
