It’s nice to belong, to feel connected to others. But what happens when you realize that your fundamental beliefs don’t line up with the people you want to be close to? Do you bring it up? And, what does that conversation sound like? Including a story by Mariya Karimjee, pictured. Guest host Sean Cole sits in for Ira.

“You think this is not who we are? Yes it is! Wake up, dude!”

“My values are deeper than the culture of the moment.”

“I learned what it was like to love someone without forgiving them.”

“That’s a new Bohra tradition.”

Lean Like A Chola | Wonderland Magazine

Thirty years since its UK release, chatting to feted director Allison Anders, we look at the impact chola gang-girl masterpiece Mi Vida Loca has had on pop culture. This one’s for the mothers, warriors, sisters… survivors!

M&TC:

An interview with Director Aliison Ander’s 1993′s Mi Vida Loca…

“To make a love story about the romance that the girls felt for each other, that they felt for Ernesto, and for the neighbourhood. Echo Park is so beautiful. You know, the hills really do echo.” -

Norman Rockwell illustrated this cover of the Saturday Evening Post for the May 1, 1920 edition, featuring a couple getting cozy with a Ouijia Board.  At a time when men and women needed to conduct themselves with decorum together, the Ouija Board gave them a chance to be quite close in a darkened space!  One of my favorite podcasts 99% Invisible just did an episode on the Ouija Board.  You can listen here  (Via The Saturday Evening Post)

“Real interfaith work assumes that we have something to teach one another, something to learn from one another. We have to be open to the possibility of learning from, and learning with, one another.

And yet it remains absolutely and indispensably the case that the ground upon which we stand is extraordinarily differentiated. We share radically different levels of access to power, wealth, and privilege that are based on our gender, socio-economic class, sexual orientation, nationality, and other markers. And there are fundamental structural inequalities that shape the parameters in which this conversation takes place.”

—Omid Safi’s clarion call for a more robust, honest Abrahamic interfaith dialogue.

I love you, but I’m mad at you is one of the most freeing, important things you can say in a stable relationship. Does that make sense? To know that you have the ability and the right to be mad at someone and know that it doesn’t mean things are over, that it doesn’t mean things are irreparable. That it just means I’m mad, but God, I love you. I love you. Now leave me alone.

Eliza Bennett - A woman’s work is never done, 2011 Using my own hand as a base material, I considered it a canvas upon which I stitched into the top layer of skin using thread to create the appearance of an incredibly work worn hand. By using the technique of embroidery, traditionally employed to represent femininity and applying it to the expression of it’s opposite, I hope to challenge the pre-conceived notion that ‘women’s work’ is light and easy. Aiming to represent the effects of hard work arising from employment in low paid ancillary jobs such as cleaning, caring, and catering, all traditionally considered to be ‘women’s work’.
