“Through a career that has included crotch-grabbing, nudity, BDSM, Marilyn Monroe fetishizing, and a 1992 book devoted to sex, Madonna has been viewed as a feminist provocateur, pushing the boundaries of acceptable femininity. But Beyoncé’s use of her body is criticized as thoughtless and without value beyond male titillation, providing a modern example of the age-old racist juxtaposition of animalistic black sexuality vs. controlled, intentional, and civilized white sexuality.”

lizzymaxia:

You point a gun at my brother again, I will kick the living shite out of you. / Just don’t die. Because your first funeral was just agonizing enough.

“Felix is Sarah’s heart. They’re each other’s everything. Other than Kira in Sarah’s life, Felix is her family and who she wants to be with. They’re very much siblings, in the sense that they need each other deeply, and yet they use each other and they manipulate each other. Felix is an incredible sounding board for all of Sarah’s fears and all of Sarah’s confusion and the calm in the craziness of her life.” [x]

“Felix and Sarah are at a place in their lives where they’re both very guarded against each other, and at the same time they desperately need one another. My character isn’t super trustworthy, and Felix knows that, and as much as he deeply wants her to be there for him and for them to be a family, it’s just impossible for someone like her. Sarah wants the same thing, too, only she’s just not able to be that person he needs her to be, but other than her daughter, Felix is everything to her. At the same time you see their relationship deepen, it also begins to unravel and becomes threatened by Sarah’s relationships with these other women, these clones. Jordan Garvaris and I talked about the fact that there’s a part of Felix that is a bit jealous of Sarah, and that maybe she has a place. Perhaps after all this time, she’s found this family that she truly does belong to. So there’s an interesting betrayal that happens in their relationship as well as that deepening dependency on each other that I spoke about. It’s very much a case of two siblings who can love and hate one another in the same moment. It’s such a well-written relationship for that reason, and also Felix is hilarious and keeps Sarah from jumping off a bridge herself, so to speak. So he gives her a great deal of himself.” [x]

As much as I love Naya Rivera, am I the only one who feels like she’s changed since she started dating Big Sean? Like she’s trying to be…idk, ghetto ish? Or extremely “rap guy’s girlfriend”ish? :/

If suddenly “ghetto” is synonymous with “happy”, then by all means, I hope she stays ghetto.

Also, your concern is adorable, but don’t worry - the kneegrow isn’t catching.

wait what’s ~ghetto about this cuteness?

that awkward moment when i guess glee fandom didn’t realize they’ve been stanning for a black girl for four years? WHOOPS.

also sorry that she apparently can’t go to the movies w/her black boyfriend without the internet feeling some kind of way about it. i hate fandom so much.

"The first time I read ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ I was sitting in 10th grade English class. But there is..."

“The first time I read ‘The Grapes of Wrath’ I was sitting in 10th grade English class. But there is one image that stays with me. The description of crops going unharvested even as workers are eager and willing to pick the food. He writes:

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the time, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit—and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains.

And the smell of rot fills the country.

He wrote those words more than 70 years ago, yet the conditions he describes still ring true for 50 million Americans living in food insecure households today… . Hungry families do not have enough food… [but] not because of scarcity. Every year 40% of food produced goes uneaten. That’s 20 pounds of food per person per day. And that is the twisted irony of hunger in America today. What Steinbeck called that crime that goes beyond denunciation, landfills brimming with rotting food while 15% of households don’t have enough to eat.”

"You know, she solved you. The mascot."

Mon, 20 May 2013 11:04:17 -0400

““You know, she solved you. The mascot.””

- Are we going to talk about the fact that Joan has discussed that conversation with him?

We know she was angry and kept it all bottled up in the restaurant but when she finally got back to Sherlock she must have let lose about what Moriarty said. I’m guessing we caught the end of it in Gregson’s office.

I think she was especially mad about being called a mascot; that’s why he picks up on it in his confrontation with Moriarty, because it upset Joan the most, so he takes the thing that hurt her and throws it back in Moriarty’s face to prove Joan’s power, to use the insult as a tool of Joan’s power.

In writing everything is done with a purpose; there are no accidents. “The Mascot.” is it’s own sentence to truely emphasise Joan’s place in this world, because if you’ve made it through 24 episodes and still think Joan Watson is a sidekick, this scene proves you very much wrong.

This one line takes Sherlock and Joan’s equality and brands it into the very heart of the show: In Elementary, there’s no such thing as a sidekick.

Have you seen Into Darkness? I haven't yet. What did you think about it?

Fri, 17 May 2013 16:15:22 -0400

I have! spoiler alert Khan was an over-acted mess who should’ve been played by a desi dude. they didn’t even care enough to change his name from khan NOONIEN SINGH. but he was just sooo brilliant and so respected as a villain so of course a brown man couldn’t have played him i guess.

It sucks because I really liked the film otherwise. they didn’t change much of the first film’s formula, to an almost excessive degree lol, so that should be a good indication whether you will enjoy it or not. All the starkiddos were in fine form.
