“What makes you vulnerable makes you beautiful.” -Brené Brown
To be vulnerable is to be free.
It gives you a break from trying to pretend you’re always right and you don’t have any flaws. It gives you permission to show your authentic self and stop taking responsibility for the way other people perceive you. It allows you to try new things and take the risk...

I could play Craig, the shitty/creepy older brother of one of the teenage cast members. I’d still live in the same town, but I’d have my own apartment. Well, the back house behind my folks’ place. I could show up where all the kids are hanging out. Here are some lines I could say:
“Hey can you stop doing sexy stuff? I’m trying to do some light calisthenics over here.”
“I’m...

To all the girls who envy my life [Salon] →
Practically speaking, envying someone for [doing sex work] is like envying someone for eating at McDonald’s. There are no bars to entry. You don’t have to be beautiful, young or sexually skilled. Those aspects might help, but there’s no entrance exam when it comes to sex work. You don’t have to prove yourself to do it, and doing it proves nothing about you as a...

Got my depression on my mind, behind my eyes, under my cheekbones.
“I find that most people don’t know what to do. The helplessness sucks. I’ve seen it in friends and partners, I’ve seen it when I’m in a mood that’s so dark, I don’t believe the tunnel even has an end. I get so frustrated when people say- tell me what I can do to make it better. Perhaps, for some people, they can...
WatchThis had me at “executive producer Idris Elba,” but that DJ woman is so fine she makes my teeth hurt. I’d like to see how this show turns out.

Nope, not really.
Some pro-women people and/or punks of color can’t ID with the Riot Grrrl movement- it was and is mostly White, remember?
I do, but that’s me. Not Everyone.
Stop saying that everyone should be a feminist, a riot grrrl, etc. etc.
People can be womanist, mujerista, Xicana… lots of different identities (not nouns) that support all women’s rights, identities...

SHAKEDOWN is the story of a black lesbian strip club in Los Angeles. The film is anchored in the stories of three women: Ronnie Ron, the creator and emcee of Shakedown, a large butch/stud lesbian and former Jehovah’s Witness; Egypt, a single mother, beauty pageant fanatic, and dedicated self - (re)inventor; and Jazmyne, the complicated and sometimes conflicted “Queen” of Shakedown. We...

"Infinite and Plausible" by Tina Chang
It is the smallest idea born in the interior will, that has no fury nor ignorance, no intruder but stranger, no scaffold of a plea, no mote of the hungry, no pitchfork of instinct, no ladder of pity, no carriage of lust, no wavering foot on concrete, no parish of bees, no mountains of coal, no limestone and ash, no lie poured down the stairs of a house among them, and this is the will of maker and...
