Party Proofing
As everyone knows, parties can get messy. Parties can get weird. Parties are, in fact, the actual reason we can’t have nice things.
So, what to do? Here are some steps to party proof your place:
1. REMOVE ALL OF THE THINGS. Seriously. Hide all of your belongings except
2. TRASH CAN AND RECYCLING BIN THE FUCK OUT. These are your decorations.
3. HAVE A PARTY FRIDGE that is not...

I wish, man. If only white people were this conscious of media representation.

I don't think it is possible
to make art without morality, because I do not think it is possible to be a person without some moral sensibility.
As an artist, you are expressing some honesty about yourself or your perspective;
And as a human, therefore, your artistic expression must be informed by your moral sensibilities.
I mean moral sensibilities in the very broadest sense— it has little to do with religion,...

(oh my god I need supervision.)
(but I was just thinking about #pornstarproblems and then it kind of was funny.)
(Not to say that anal is bad or not a seriously sexy activity for some.)
I’m working on a paper about the intersection of aesthetics and ethics,
but I just had to stop working because I thought about anal sex and how funny it is.
BAHAHAHA

A guy gave a presentation in one of my classes...
In his boxers.
The rest of his group wore clothes. The kid’s a sophomore. The professor is a legend. The film was “All That Jazz.”
I’m gonna marry that kid.

so-treu:
telegantmess:
Philadelphia public schools are on the operating table, reeling from a knockout blow of heavy state budget cuts. It was too much to bear after decades of underfunding and mismanagement at the hands of shortsighted Philadelphians and mean-spirited politicians in Harrisburg.
So the District is today announcing that it’s going to call it quits. Its organs will be...

Dumb Things White People Say: "Why hasn't this... →
dumbthingswhitepplsay:
This right here is a huge sign of white privilege.
Only white people can be reasonably assured that if they go to the police, someone will give a fuck.
Meanwhile, black people have been shot at and arrested for going to the police for shit that happened to them.
It’s why many poor black…

You know that feeling
when you definitely should have kissed someone when you had the chance?
Grabbed their hip in a casual way and then turned to meet their eyes,
Lips parted,
Legs rocking toward them,
Looking for a sign to lean in and pause just a half second to let them trip forward and meet you?
That feeling, toward the end of the night, that time is passing and you are not so young and you’ve...

My besties are the best
My friend Kara is the most encouraging person ever when I’m under the influence. I just texted her about how I’m listening to music and it sounds like magical liquid birds of magic, and she totally supports that.
Rock on indeed, Kara. You’re the wind beneath my magical liquid music wings.

Doing some self-care right now
Trying to be nice to myself even though I feel physically and emotionally shitty. The latter because of the former. Also maybe rainy Tuesdays just suck?

Wikipedia defines self-care as, “personal health maintenance…Self care includes all health decisions people (as individuals or consumers) make for themselves and their families to get and stay physically and mentally fit.”

tranqualizer:
You can still experience anti-queer, anti-trans hate, classism, ableism, etc. But NONE of that cancels out how you benefit from the framework of race as a white person.

Yo,
I understand that Brigitte Bardot is hot right now,
but she’s a crazy racist bigot.
So, swanky film tumblrs and beauty tumblrs and vintage tumblrs,

I’m feeling a little slow n lazy on the tumblr front these days. I have a book on tape and I just bought a ton of instant noodles, soooo… I might be MIA for a couple days.
In the meantime, friends: tell me about the best summer you’ve had?
