Soo here are some more excerpts from bell hook’s Teaching Community: A Pedagogy of Hope that’ve stuck out to me thus far:

2011: resolutions
bring it on 2011. let this be a year in which old habits die hard. also in which imperialism is overthrown and shannyn sossamon finally beckons for my love. below is a list of resolutions.
be a babe (in the most empowering way)
don’t drop out of school
don’t fall in love with a coffee shop girl
everything else is fair game. i’ve got great standards.
ke$ha seeks someone who can grow a "pear"
as in, she wants to date a tree. i guess she was really affected by that polar bear drowning in an inconvenient truth. umm, are you an ecofeminist? if so…. i would sign a petition to save your wetlands. sorry, objectifying, i know.
re: “but i just can’t date a dude with a vag” - umm, I COULD. also, you’re problematic.
The Digital Decade in Fashion (and then some) →
An annotated list tracing some of the roots and routes of what has become a defining event in the fashion industry, in particular, and in global commercial culture, in general: fashion’s digital revolution. (The focus is certainly on the post-millennium but, as with all cultural phenomena, it has a history so my list begins in the mid 1990s.)

Naomi Wolf does not speak for me. What about you?

feeds and statuses have been inundated with the dadt repeal but a lot of people are bringing a good point: if the very heart of your queer politics is to challenge the imperialist foundations that have normalized oppression towards foil identities of white bourgeois patriarchy, then why we are celebrating the fact that now everyone can support war and occupation?
in short, i think this is...

I have 0 cares for font prescriptivism. There are no rules. X font is not only for Y occasion. That may be why you are using one a certain way, but it feels quite ridiculous & kinda pretentious actually for someone to be telling someone else that they are using a font ‘wrong’
That site is silly, but it does contain a pretty good link about fonts that are...

In a letter to Heritage Minister James Moore, Senator Vivienne Poy says the public outcry over the article is enough to justify axing $1.5-million in funds for the national news weekly. She said periodicals that contain offensive content, “defined as material that is denigrating to an identifiable group,” can be deemed ineligible for federal support. She also mentions Maclean’s articles about...

Kidding, it’s a Feminist smack down re: Julian Assange’s rape charges. To you, Naomi Wolf, I say fuck you for invisiblizing the voices of women who have been raped. For shame, Wolf. For shame.
NAOMI WOLF: If you read these allegations, he took off Miss A’s clothes too quickly for her comfort. She tried to tell him to slow down, but then, quote, “she allowed him to undress...

ryotsu:
The key structural reason why neither branch of the LGBT movements has operationalized its stated intersectional politics, is quite simple: the default definition for what “Gay” means has been set by, and remains dominated by, the ideas and experiences of those in our communities who are white and this really has not changed in more than fifty years. Issues, identities,...

Miss Meiday: The Junkie Shop, Cubao X →
i’ve got the phillipine homesick blues and miss red horses and writing media releases at cubao x after office hours. i used to go to the junkie shop because i had a thing for one of the owners. but instead of conversing with her, i would turn into a blubbering consumerist and buy their products. crushes to capitalism, ay dios ko!
anyway, someone go to the junkie and buy quirky clothes for...

“The term has deliberately been made popular in the media by a web of people and organizations that both promote anti-immigrant sentiment and encourage fear and division instead of facts and understanding.”

UM what the hell, okcupid :: gaydar test →
“We figured what the hell.”
gaydar i think is weird because it’s basically the legitimization of someone’s sexual identity through another person’s perception of what sexuality, often conflated with gender identity, looks like. often times this’ll be influenced by western concepts of queerness, using westernized constructs of what we assume to be...
