The Grandest of Gaucheries
"I didn't want to be a boy, ever, but I was outraged that his height and intelligence were graces for him and gaucheries for me." -Jane Rule


I believe we need more love in the world. We need the courage to live and love wholeheartedly, to be vulnerable and out there, with the belief that those we love will see our beauty and worth and give us the love we deserve. This blog is part of my attempt to live fully, to love generously and courageously.


May this serve as a refuge for anyone else out there feeling like an alien in a foreign land.
This is my new favourite thing.

This is my new favourite thing.

INNER FAT GIRL: why i’m fat positive.

Powerful and important and amazing.

innerfatgirl:

I’m a lot of things: I’m queer, white, upper middle class, an organizer, a nerd, a clothes horse…

I’m also fat.

That’s an easy thing for me to say, and it’s a hard thing for many people to hear. And it impacts me more immediately, frequently and overtly than a lot of my identities.

When I tell…

Watching this trailer for Miss Representation, a documentary by Jennifer Siebel Newson, I felt like crying. I hope it finds a distributor at Sundance and that local cinemas pick it up. If you want to donate to the fund to have it distributed to middle and high schools around the country or more information, here is the website.

rosel shares: The white reality of the Academy Awards

roselshares:

A chilling photo montage from Colorlines, titled “Get Ready for the Whitest Oscars in a Decade,” made me realize just how screwed up Hollywood is when it comes to matters of race.

Then someone piped up in the Colorlines comments section and said that Hailee Steinfeld technically counts…
