We are not allowed this. We are allowed to be deeply into basketball, or Buddhism, or Star Trek, or jazz, but we are not allowed to be deeply sad. Grief is a thing that we are encouraged to “let go of,” to “move on from,” and we are told specifically how this should be done. Countless well-intentioned friends, distant family members, hospital workers, and strangers I met at parties recited the famous five stages of grief to me: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. I was alarmed by how many people knew them, how deeply this single definition of the grieving process had permeated our cultural consciousness. Not only was I supposed to feel these five things, I was meant to feel them in that order and for a prescribed amount of time.Cheryl Strayed (via poemsbydes)

Let’s do a little comparison
Family Guy
- Rape jokes
- Eating disorder jokes
- Pedophilia jokes
- Racist jokes
- Molestation jokes
- Self harm jokes
King of the Hill
- Body positive
- No rape jokes, ever.
- No eating disorder jokes, ever.
- No pedophilia, because Hank would’ve kicked their ass.
- The closest thing to racism was Racist Dawg, and that wasn’t really racist.
- Self harm jokes? Nope.
Yuuup
Yep. I wrote a paper on The Family Guy for a sociology class years ago, critiquing it as a terrible representation of a family. I know that’s the point, but it’s worse than that. It’s just plain bad. It’s not satire, it’s just bad.

The sexualization of women is only appealing if it’s nonconsensual. Otherwise it’s “sluttiness”.Lindy West (via lavenderlabia)(Source: goldenphoenixgirl, via jadelyn)

“Put me on the internet! Even on The Google!”

Phenomenal Women in Film
I say, It’s in the reach of my arms, the span of my hips, the stride of my step, the curl of my lips. I’m a woman, Phenomenally. Phenomenal women, That’s me -Maya Angelou (x)#I love how this doesn’t give me chills because they’re all white #And they used a black woman’s quote how fantastic #Not even tagging this because most of these characters ain’t shit
It’s incredibly cute that your phenomenal women include mostly white women. Thirty women out of whom only three are visibly nonwhite. You used a quote from Maya Angelou, a black woman who is highly political and involved in activism on behalf of her people, who writes poetry about being a black woman, and yet you included only two black women in this palooza of white bread. That’s the only way women of color can be recognized and appreciated, am I correct? Use their words but make sure their faces don’t show.
It’s doubly hilarious that you put whitewashed Katniss Everdeen and Cleopatra on there. That and Jessica Chastain’s Maya, whose power derives from persecuting and torturing brown men and women and wielding imperialism AND Coco Chanel, known Nazi agent, and Margaret Thatcher. Yes, let’s appreciate kickass female characters that are white and oppressive. Let’s do that. That’s Tumblr feminism in a word! Fuck you, OP.
Exactly. Where are the brown and black women? Where are the older women?
I mean, these are all great films, and there’s no disputing these roles are great. But I want more. I expect better.

Amy Reeder, Brandon Montclare ignite ‘Rocket Girl’ Kickstarter
After teasing fans for a few months, Amy Reeder and Brand Montclare’s Rocket Girl is go for launch.
According to the Kickstarter page, which went live this morning, Rocket Girl is a “teenage cop from a high-tech future” who’s sent back to 1986: “She’s investigating the Quintum Mechanics megacorporation for crimes against time. As she pieces together the clues, she discovers that the ‘future’ — an alternate reality version of 2013 and the place she calls home — shouldn’t exist at all.”
