Do you want to know my feelings about Feminist Taylor Swift?:

I am not sure why you would but I started to write a short thing about it and then I kind of wrote 500 very earnest words. About a joke twitter. I don’t know. I’m having a weird week.

what i want to talk about is how governmental/corporate violations of privacy talk to chris kraus, marie calloway, and female confessional writing. how proponents of privacy speak to enthusiasts of exposure.

This is basically amazing, but I have to say I disagree with the filmmaker’s statement - I think Pretty Little Liars is very conscious of the paranoid-horror way that it deals with food.

Uh oh.

“

I’m very into role-playing: when I crossdress, it is an overt way of showing people I’m playing a “character”. It raises awareness of the choices we make every minute of every day to be who we are. We are all playing roles.

What’s my motivation? I’m just trying to get to the core of these weird recreations we call the movies.

Update re: possibly age-inappropriate polka dot dress:

A stranger at the bar basically just looked at me and identified that I was going to sing Blondie at karaoke, so I guess it sent the right message?

“Third, and maybe most interestingly, is that if separating downtown were possible, it would still be entirely selfish and irresponsible. A growing majority of the most troubled neighbourhoods in Toronto are in the suburban areas, mainly because those are increasingly the more affordable parts of Toronto. The proposal to erect a political wall has the whiff of white flight: The wards that Ford carried in the last election are places where ethnic “visible minorities” are an actual majority, while the downtown is more than 70 per cent white. All 13 of the city’s “priority neighbourhoods” are in the inner suburbs, where the average income is 30 per cent lower than in the old City of Toronto. So be careful how you discuss “these people” screwing up Toronto politics: De-amalgamation looks a lot like segregation by ethnicity and wealth.”

This is pretty much why I feel uncomfortable w/ the de-amalgamation conversation?

Ok, so this person seems like a female version of myself if you know what I mean. Pretty into this.

halfsquaretriangles:

this is the realest laugh i have had about the rob ford saga, can photojournalism get any more hilarious than a mayor reading a prepared statement out loud from which he has crossed out the sentence “i take my role as mayor very seriously”, no, it cannot.

Hahahaha wow.

I mean it stopped being even a little bit funny for me around the time the phrase “homicide investigators” started showing up in the news reports but still.

(I mean I get that people are like laughing to keep from going crazy but the whole deal is still pretty much 100% depressing to me.)

“And all of a sudden, one day, much more recently, there was Google Search By Image (no prizes for whomever named it). Somewhere deep in the thousands of parallel machines running searches, an algorithm had emerged for matching an image to exact and inexact versions of itself across the web. I know this makes it sound mystical.”

So I have been biking to work for the past few weeks (for combined reasons of cheapness, healthiness and trying not to be scared of stuff) and it has mostly been great, but today I noticed a thing that happens a lot.

So I’m you know, wearing my violet khakis and biking along with my satchel purse slung behind me, on a busy bike lane and this muscular guy wearing a technical t-shirt kind of cuts me off? Like he passes me on the left but then he starts to pull in front of me way too early so I actually have to slow down so I don’t hit him. Then he proceeds to bike along at basically my pace for the whole rest of the way to my work (like 15 minutes probably?). Obviously I don’t really know why this dude felt the need to aggressively pass me so he could ride at my pace but whatever.

Then, like three times, this thing happens: a dude on a racing bike pulls past me, and then pulls in between me, girly-girl, and this big athletic looking guy who is going basically exactly as fast as i am. So….that’s a thing.

Tecla Review

The “We” referred to in New York based artist TECLA’s newest studio album, “We Are the Lucky Ones,” are the generation of young people who, for the first time in U.S. history, can have open, proud ownership of their multi-racial and mixed cultural influences. Music like TECLA’s that samples regional sounds from across cultural boundaries and differing pop sensibilities is often described as “complicated,” but what makes “We Are The Lucky Ones” great is the understanding that those complications are not created through music studio experimentations, but are rather a reflection on what life sounds like to, say, a Hell’s Kitchen born and raised musical prodigy with an Italian father and a Haitian mother. As urban communities continue to flux and mesh, the “complicated” sounds of neighborhoods with cumbia-blasting bodegas, cars blaring trap music and indie-electronica streaming out of windows have replaced monocultural radio as a new sonic normalcy.

TECLA’s music raises the question that any potentially groundbreaking album should, “Am I complicated, or are you just boring?” Using her classical music training, TECLA composes complex, layered vocals over throbbing polyrhythms, frenetic electronic instruments with infectious pos-vibe emanating lyrics that demand to be danced to. Anthems like the album’s second single “Money” have the kind of memorable, empowering lyrics that become sing-along classics on warm summer nights. Even when she’s making real points about class and gender, TECLA does it in manner that still keeps your hips shaking and your shoulders rolling, like on the track “You Suck,” which has strong sonic ties to vocal producer Gordon Voidwell’s pop production mastery.

Great pop albums are an amazing thing, catchy, fun, heartbreaking, danceable and cry-able. We Are The Lucky Ones is a great pop album for the 21^st century, full of jams to pump you up, to get you dancing and to get you relating to the struggles and possibilities possessed by us, the lucky ones.

Pretty interested in “You got me feeling like / I don’t wanna cry / so I’m crying fake tears”.
