Get queer.

[rapunzelie]

As with Kahlo, there has been a tendency with O'Keeffe to view her work through the lens of her life story and relationship to a man, something that rarely happens with male artists. For instance, imagine a biography that examined the career of Jackson Pollock in relation to the ups and downs of his marriage with fellow artist Lee Krasner- inconceivable, yet usually unquestioned with Kahlo and O'Keeffe.

The High Cost of Acting Happy

http://anniemurphypaul.com/2014/02/the-high-cost-of-acting-happy/

“Surface acting is when front line service employees, the ones who interact directly with customers, have to appear cheerful and happy even when they’re not feeling it. This kind of faking is hard work—sociologists call it “emotional labor”—and research shows that it’s often experienced as stressful. It’s psychologically and even physically draining; it can lead to lowered motivation and engagement with work, and ultimately to job burnout.”

RELEVANT.

Sick of masculinity being represented as natural and femininity being represented as performance/artifice. Also, sick of the nonstop praise/respect/reverence of masculinity in queer spaces. I'm here for femmes.

People calling this a hate crime. That’s an understatement.

What needs to be understood is that Emanuel AME is and has been one of the key black institutions in Charleston. It is the oldest AME church in the South. It’s the largest black church building in Charleston by capacity. It is probably the most prominent black church in Charleston. Church members and the church itself have played a central role in black liberation struggles for the past 2 centuries. From the Denmark Vesey slave uprising to the church’s recently murdered pastor Clementa Pinckney who was also a state senator and proponent of the police body cam bill.

The murderer Dylan Roof is from the state captial Columbia, meaning he may have come from two hours away. He sat through the Bible study meeting for around an hour before opening fire. This was a very intentional act at the very heart of the black community in the SE USA. The word “terrorism” is way, way overused in today’s society. But if this isn’t terrorism then that word has no meaning.

i was wondering why it is that i feel comfortable in rural settings and urban settings but not in suburban settings, because i’ve considered rural and urban to be two extremes on a sliding scale with suburbs in the middle

but that’s not really the case

the suburbs are extremely different and in a category of their own because their existence is predicated on the wealthier part of the working class trying to put as much physical distance between them and the centers of industry where they actually do their work as possible, creating as much of a division between work/life and public/private space as possible (and bridging the gap increasingly using cars rather than public transportation, to further isolate people)

not to mention the fact that white people wanted to get away from black people and immigrants as they were increasingly migrating in northern cities and white people could use their greater material wealth and racist housing subsidies in their favor to escape city life while maintaining employment 

suburbs are a monstrosity that should never have happened and continue to do harm

This.

There’s no need for the graduation really. You could actually have dense urban areas that just sort of stop, and from there on it’s countryside, because the city is as big as it needs to be and internally houses and provides for it’s whole living and working population. The desire for shoulder to shoulder yet unwalkable suburban sprawl is a desire of capital, as a way to commidify and capitalize on the land surrounding a city without regard for efficiency or sustainability of land use.

That’s a really pleasant idea now that I think about it. Big city that graduates outward into small town and then into countryside, without the haphazard sprawl that keeps going on and on and on for miles and miles.

[teachagainstfascism]

Also, I was talking to my friend who’s an urban studies major about this earlier today. She told me that in the suburbs “the lack of public spaces and public transportation means suburbs don’t have as many opportunities for interactions between diverse groups of people, for public protest, or for the cross-pollination of ideas”

I remember I saw a post on here once about how making the primary mode of transportation cars was really insidiously capitalist and helped maintain an individualist ethos by making transportation an individual investment and responsibility, and also by isolating people for the time that they’re commuting. I think that can be expanded to explain the suburbs in general. 

it’s worth considering that beyond the way that suburbs and cars accommodate capital by turning people’s basic human needs (transportation and shelter) into marketable private goods, they also serve a purpose of spreading people out and impeding collective action both on the psychological scale (because people have no sense that their own welfare is tied up with the public good) and on the physical scale– where are people supposed to organize? are they supposed to drive to mass demonstrations? will there be parking? 

so I strongly and urgently believe that we need to abolish the suburbs

Whites who are given access into POC spaces (yes, being a white person with access to heavily POC spaces is a sacred privilege) and who have POC in their life who are willing to go against the cultural narrative that says you can’t trust white people must honor this privilege by making themselves malleable to correction. Being an ally is not an identity, it is a process. There is no Maslow hierarchy of allyship. There is no level of self-actualization in being an anti-racist ally that renders you above reproach and critique.

I highly, highly recommend this article to other white folks! As someone who is trying be a better ally and friend, this is a great read. GO READ NOW, FRIENDS.
