Asian American community reaches out to Warner Bros. about AKIRA
Now I’m all for racial equality, but until we get Asian actors who can A) act, and B) speak clear engrish, then let them cast Fassbender, McAvoy and Hedlund all they want.

I only understand half of what he says
But I see him and a bed ;)
Because a half-naked Alexander Rybak is ALWAYS WORTH REBLOGGING.
Wow
quixotess:
I don’t share my follower count because I believe it creates bad feelings, but suffice it to say that enough people have started following me lately—people I don’t recognize, mostly—that I may have to start really thinking about how it’s affecting my tumblr participation and how I should adapt.
I’m not like at some Highly Influential level by any means. I’m just being followed by,...

I am quite baffled at what you mean here:
Is it me or do all of Sady and Garland’s apologies (and tumbles in general) work a hell of a lot better if you stop reading after the first few sentences? Also, maybe tumblr is just not a format everyone can do well?
For those just joining us, Sady wrote a piece about how she deals with anxiety. All of the parts specifically dealing with...
Prepping to write a paper on reparation
Inspired by Dr. Sara Ahmed’s writing from the Cultural Politics of Emotion, whose most recent book is The Promise of Happiness. I had the ultimate luck of having a seminar with her when she came to McMaster to deliver a talk, and I asked her, something to the effect of, “in coalitional work where people of overlapping privileges and oppressions work together, what are the possibilities...
Hey, All,

I lost my temper last night, and I apologize. I acknowledge that I’ve created some of the toxic dynamics in this conversation. They are toxic, and they’re not one-sided. Right now, I think there are too many hurt feelings and too much defensiveness, on all sides, for us to even attempt to hear each other fairly. And defensiveness and hurt feelings do...
Anonymous asked: You're such a fucking hypocrite! You talk of silencing and erasure AT THE SAME TIME ERASE Garland. Really? That was your point? Garland spoke about HIS sexual assault and you call him racist?

Priorities, how to arrange them?
I have a cold and am in desperate need of rest.
However, I also have the following to read for class:
Donna Haraway’s Modest_Witness@Second_Millennium, parts 1 and 2.
Latour’s Politics of Nature, Chapters 1, 2, 4 and 8.
One of them’s gotta go.
Which should it be, Tumblrites?
I just love it that most feminists are up in arms...

I’ve been thinking about the spatial dynamics of Tumblr, folks, and why it’s more interesting than a blog.
A blog is like a house. When the blogger posts, it’s their house, and visitors play by the rules, because they are viewing the blog on the blog’s terms. You can go to a blog….
This is one of the things I don’t like about tumblr, one of the criticisms in social...

Since it seems a reminder is in order
meloukhia:
Lived experiences of disability are extremely diverse. Two people can share the same disability(ies) and have radically different experiences of them.
Lived experience cannot be wrong.
Telling people their lived experiences are ‘wrong,’ that they’re ‘not doing it right,’ is extremely dehumanising.

alexshortandsweet asked: Your tag of "Alexander Rybak is a magic dolphin from outer space" just made my night. Thank you!
Anonymous asked: I think you've forgotten that Garland and Sady, as they so often tell us, are operating at a metacritical level, and they are explaining the norms of social justice communities to us. Because Sady is very well-known. Also when she attacks people for sport, that's OK. This is not even a question BUT LORDY

A blog is like a house. When the blogger posts, it’s their house, and visitors play by the rules, because they are viewing the blog on the blog’s terms. You can go to a blog. Yes, you can add it to your RSS feed, but that’s more like a telephoning into the...

…and I’m not going anywhere.
When I see people I like and generally care for being attacked for sport, or to make it seem as if their (the one being attacked) brand of social justice is lazy and ill-thought out and that the “magical intent brigade” has all of the answers when not a single goddamn one of them even made one single comment, not a single comment on my critique of their...
