Chloë Sevigny by Brianna Capozzi for Marfa Journal No.3 (2015)

Stand By Me (1986) dir. Rob Reiner

i think about this very often to but to be alive is such a privilege. you can smell flowers, eat freshly baked cookies, lose yourself in the pages of a new book, listen to heartwarming music and read soul crushing poetry, meet kind and funny people, learn something new. i think the miracle is in waking up every day

i'm always a bit unsettled by disdain for intellectual or creative labor in leftist spaces. there's this commonly held belief that academics are a bunch of rich old white men, rather than a wide variety of people who are barely getting by. most lecturers in universities are adjuncts living paycheck to paycheck. authors make very little money as a general rule. most researchers are overworked and underpaid. and yet there's still this idea that academics are overcompensated to sit around and smoke cigars together while making shit up

Photo by Daniel Kramer used for the cover of the 1965 album Highway 61 Revisited, with Bob Dylan seated on the steps of his apartment and Bob Neuwirth standing behind him with Daniel Kramer's camera in his hand. The shot was unplanned and shows Dylan in his own casual clothes rather than the more formal outfit he and Kramer chose and bought for the album shoot.

Obsessed with this pic

women who use tiktok i am talking to you directly. yall gotta stop engaging in this girl math women shouldn’t vote shit. it’s not a silly ironic joke men mean that and they are making fun of you. listen to me. call them out when you see it happen. show the kids who use that bastard app that it’s not okay to make jokes like that. stop being part of the problem and stand up for yourselves

There’s a reason that women’s health care, right to vote, right to divorce, ect are under threat while every 5th meme is how women need protected from having to make hard decisions or are to dumb and incompetent to make them. Someone somewhere is paying people to make this stuff too. Someone pays for the tradwife mommy blogger’s camera, someone pays for the podcast bro no one’s ever heard of to have an immaculate studio set up, HD cameras, and mics, someone pays to make sure that at any given time there’s a women incompetent meme that’s popular even if the original creator didn’t intend it.

It’s a propaganda campaign.

it’s just this recent wave of “all sexual expression is good even the problematic ones!” is crazy to me like we used to be mad about the song Blurred Lines and call it blatant expression of misogyny and rape apologia, even though it’s art. like i think it’s fine to call shallow misogynist art shallow and misogynist and i think it’s fine to deplatform it

this used to be the SJW site whatever happened to “be intolerant of intolerance” and “3 people having dinner with a nazi is 4 nazis” and “both-sides-ing only aids the oppressor” now everyone is saying shit like Actually 🤓☝️Blurred Lines is a Progressive and Leftist Anthem because it Queers the Status Quo Narrative of Consensual Sex
