We'll Always Have Paris
Kelsey. 22. "We call ships 'she'. We call our war machines 'women'. We compare women to black widows and vipers. And you're going to tell me it's not 'lady-like' to scream, to take up space, to fight and demand respect and do whatever the hell I want. You've looked at nuclear bombs and have been so in awe that you could only name them after women. Don't try to down-play my power."

“Incomprehensible Aesthetic Nonsense Staged To Look Like A Dutch Vanitas Painting” Is already my favorite genre of Modelling photography but WOW what a beautiful human. Anybody know who this is?
Thanks to several people, I can now tell you that the model’s name is Grace Bol and she was shot by Solve Sundsbo in a shoot entitled Color Power for Luncheon Magazine. Here’s her Instagram, if you want to see more of God’s Most Beautiful Human.

today’s mood
This is not a random meme and to see it decontextualised in such a way is beyond disturbing. The text above is the suicide note of MarShawn McCarrel, a poet, homelessness advocate and black lives matter activist who died at age 23 on the 8th February 2016, here is an article on mental health struggles for Black Lives Matter advocates and on McCarrel, his art, his advocacy, his life and the struggles that led to him leaving this earth.

This thread from Jessica Chastain just really made me think…I revered Tarantino so much, loved his female protagonists, his style, everything. But now looking back, I realize how much I normalized some of the violent and abusive behaviors he displayed so blatantly, yet with a certain distinct subtlety in his films - passing it off as empowerment wherein power does not really lie. This goes beyond Tarantino, too. How many male directors use the abuse of women to shape and mold them in their storyline? How many exploit their power to get the shot that strokes their ego? It’s even more than sexual abuse, assault, and rape. It’s men using their power to be violent and show the world that violence, and be praised for it. The cult of male directors who can pass off violence against women as female empowerment astounds me.
