In September 2015 I saw Leslye Headland speak after a screening of SLEEPING WITH OTHER PEOPLE. She said "distribution is where women made films go to die."

@ everyone who thought about suicide this year, but stuck around:

Thank you for staying. Thank you for not making 2016 even more terrible for everyone who knows you and loves you (and they really do love you)

Don’t mess with a cosplayer. After her boss set up a new dress code banning ponytails and “cultural head wraps,” June J Rivas decided to protest by diping into her costume closet. There are so many more photos and awesome comment reactions.

No cultural head wraps pretty much guarantees the EEOC will side with the employees.

If you think all Black people’s blogs are “social justice” blogs, you’re racist.

I read some newspaper article recently that pretty much summed up Tumblr and the responses to it this way—privileged people who come here are shocked to see marginalized people talking about their experiences, so they think everyone’s just obsessed with social justice, rather than talking about their own lives.

[forevrdreamingofbetterthings]

this is really important.

List of why I’m feeling good to review when I’m not feeling as good.

This weekend I ran in Central Park with a friend and we went on the swings after. Then I watched my favorite TV show, a half-hour of four people talking about movies that you can watch on demand. Then I read my new book which is a practical guide to being a new parent. Then I spent five+ hours with a crew of queer/trans/GNC/and a couple ally-type people, most of whom I’d never met before, and not once was I asked about WHAT I DO. Then I watched the live “All for One” episode from earlier in the day. Then Sunday I had a good solo workout at the gym and continued to get incrementally closer to my goals. Then I bought realistic groceries for the next couple of meals. Then I started making headway on reserving things for my next vacation. And now I’m about to shower, prep dinner, and watch a DVD.

Are you offended by being called or identified as a woman??

nah, I’m just not a woman all of the time

I know I'm great at friendship because even when I watch DWTS on a nearly two-hour delay, I still live text my thoughts as if A) we're watching simultaneously and B) you ever asked my opinion on Nyle's chest hair.

Reblogging to spread the word, cause evidence shows that Autism $peaks are classic horror movie villains.

Reblogging because I’ve always wondered who to support instead of AS.

Amandla Stenberg Opens Up About Her Gender Identity

The 17-year-old, Hunger Games actor Amandla Stenberg has come out as non-binary. Stenberg - who plays Rue in the adventure film franchise – says she feels like she’s not a ‘woman’ all the time, and non-binary is a term that she feels comfortable using to describe herself. (She is using female pronouns). Writing on Tumblr, she said she is organizing a workshop on feminism, specifically how ‘mainstream feminist movements have continuously excluded women who are not white, thin, cisgender, able-bodied and neurotypical’. "Something we are struggling with is understanding the intersection of feminism and gender identity… We’re both people who don’t feel like “women” all the time – but we claim feminism as our movement. Basically, we’re trying to understand the duality of being a non-binary person and a feminist. How do you claim a movement for women when you don’t always feel like one?”
