Carrie Fisher on bipolar disorder. (x)

I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I’m still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you. I don’t want to be a victim.

So a few days ago, Vanity Fair published this piece

It’s pretty scathing. And a genuinely good restaurant review piece.

Then, about 14 hours later, our president-elect (who’s too busy to go to security briefings), took to Twitter to respond

Vanity Fair took it and ran with it.

When you click that banner?

So, of course, I subscribed. And I bought the $5 gift subscription for my mom, who’s…VERY republican.

I’m going to be spending the next 4 years supporting every publication that speaks out in any way against Trump. Yeah, that means Vanity Fair and Teen Vogue (if you haven’t read their article on how Trump is gaslighting America, you need to get on it). And if that means also getting some fantastic articles on pop culture and skin care, I’m on board.

A Language Family Tree (by Minna Sundberg)

Minna Sundberg’s illustration maps the relationships between Indo-European and Uralic languages. (On Tumblr) The creator of the webcomic Stand Still. Stay Silent, put the illustration together to show why some of the characters in her comic were able to understand each other despite speaking different languages. She wanted to show how closely related Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Icelandic were to each other, and how Finnish came from distinct linguistic roots.

Look at me. Look me in the eye. On November the 8th, 2016, one of two things will happen: Hillary Clinton will become president, or Donald Trump will become president. These are the only two possibilities. The superdelegates aren’t going to switch. An indictment isn’t coming. There is no third possibility. There is no space between the spaces where you can hide. Every vote for Donald Trump requires two Hilary Clinton votes to overcome. A Hillary Clinton vote can only be overcome by two Donald Trump votes. If you stay home, a Donald Trump vote doubles its power. This is the real, actual reality of the situation. There is not one other option.

wtf??

me every 2 seconds while watching Wayward Pines (via randomwithoutcoffee)

[foolcklw]

when we first got married i had to psych myself up every time to say “my wife” to a new person. it was awkward because with “girlfriend” a lot of people would just assume i meant “friend,” and of course “fianceé” is gender-neutral when spoken, so we’d always had plausible deniability. but the meaning of “wife” is pretty unavoidable. still, i made myself do it on principle, and slowly but surely it became natural.

now i love saying “my wife,” to everyone all the time. i love saying it to the old woman distributing the strawberries at the farm share, asking if she knows where i can still get rhubarb because every summer i make my wife a pie. i love saying it to the gay employee helping me at crate and barrel, telling him i’m buying these glasses because my wife and i both had them growing up, and seeing his eyes light up. i love saying it to friends of friends and to new acquaintances and to potential coworkers and to the women at the laundromat. i love being aggressively out, and i love having such an easy way to be aggressively out. i love being the first woman with a wife someone has ever met, making our existence part of their reality. i love being visible for other lgbt people who might feel a little less alone knowing i’m there, which helps me push past the fear when it comes. most of all, i love not hiding. i love saying “my wife” and i love my wife.

Jenny Beavan has spoken about that jacket and she’s officially a fashion hero

Beavan demonstrated grade-A badassery at the 2016 Oscars by accepting her award for Mad Max: Fury Road wearing a custom leather biker jacket. There might have been some raised eyebrows at the unconventional Oscars outfit, but it was all part of her fashion philosophy, the one we plan on reciting every day. She didn’t even give two shits when a bunch of old dudes didn’t clap as she strode down the aisle.

I cannot really say that Master of None is a masterpiece, but I can say it moves me. Makes me smile, makes me cry. It embodies the struggles, the issues and opportunities of my generation. It is one of the few (if not the only) series I see my reflection in, and this makes it something so very precious.
