"I'm Bruised but Not Broken" - Joss Stone
This is a tumblelog, kinda like a blog but with short-form, mixed-media posts with stuff I like. Scroll down a bit to start reading, or a bit more to read more about me.
she wants the d(ecent representation of queer characters within mainstream media without their plot being reduced to said sexuality)
Mad respect for Meghan Ory.
A lot of actresses in her position would have stuck with OUAT despite not being happy or having anything worthwhile to do just because OUAT is a hit TV show.
This woman chose her craft and her passion over fame and a measly paycheck, and she did so in a way that was dignified and professional.
She’s now my favorite right after Lana Parrilla.
My, isn’t it awkward that you just fuckin recycled a nearly 40 year old article to shit on this latest generation?
Recession. Student debt. Etc. Lots of people smarter than me have already had some excellent commentary on this (here and here and here not to mention all the great Tumblr commentary).
But I do want to say:
Of all the images you could have picked, you chose one of a teenage girl taking a selfie.
Because of course, girls who have been taught nothing else by their elders except that their appearance is what matters are the reason we are all lazy and narcissistic.
Fuck off. You fucking made us. You raised me and my sister and my female cousin and millions and millions of girls to be self-conscious and obsessed with making ourselves look pleasing to men. You taught us that that was our only worth. And now you shit on us for it.
FUCK OFF, TIME.
That moment of realization when your parents/friends/teacher ask you what your novel is about and every aspect of the story suddenly seems too idiotic and cliche to say out loud.
