In case you needed a reminder there is still goodness and beauty in the world, here’s Channing Tatum holding hands with his baby daughter Everly.

Tatum’s wife is part Lebanese. True story.

“One thing you who had secure or happy childhoods should understand about those of us who did not. We who control our feelings, who avoid conflicts at all costs, or seem to seek them. Who are hypersensitive, self-critical, compulsive, workaholic, and above all survivors. We are not that way from perversity, and we cannot just relax and let it go. We’ve learned to cope in ways you never had to.””

“consent is sexy” no fuck you consent is a basic fucking right every human being deserves and we shouldn’t have to sexualize it to convey its importance

Shit, that’s deep. I never even thought of that.

Step 310: There are very few perfect jobs. For now, look for a good one.

adulting:

A reader asks: 23 year old + A.A, B.F.A, A.A.S degrees = lack of job satisfaction. Just can’t seem to figure it out, what is one to do? Can’t reasonably be a fulltime student for the rest of my life. So, what should one do to ensure finding the right career that ensures job satisfaction most of all and a comfortable living?

Bad news first: the answer to your question will not be in this (or any!) blog entry. “How do I find a satisfying, lucrative career that suits my needs?” is akin to “Where will I encounter my soulmate?” Some false premises are at play.

Some people find their soulmate. And other people find jobs that pay them $150,000 a year to fight the good fight and still have time for rich and satisfying home lives.

But … that does not happen in your 20s. If ever. So for right now, the real question is what is most important to you? Is it money? Pursuing your passion? Doing something you’re uniquely good at? Something that pays the bills but doesn’t eat your life?

janetmock:

Today, I returned to the Melissa Harris Perry Show, where (guess what???) I got to discuss…TV + Scandal + media representations of black women. I got the chance to speak about something other than just being trans in mainstream media.

It’s an exhibition in the fact that trans people do have other interests than just being trans or having “transitioned.” It was a pleasure to return to my giddy pop culture editor roots (with a touch of depth, right?!) and do it on such a powerful platform with one of my sheroes, Melissa Harris Perry.

“This is the letter that I should have written to my father, but it’s too late for that now. So I’m writing it to you instead. I was raised to be tough, to not take anything from anyone. It’s a lonely way to walk through this world. I spent my whole life trying to please you. All it did was make me hate you. Hate myself. And when I finally found someone who loved me, who I thought I could love back, it made me hurt them. Hurt them so they can never be unhurt. I tore that love apart and myself apart with it. I have wanted to die because I could not be who I wanted to be, because I could not be who you wanted me to be, but I couldn’t die anymore than I could live. I’m tired of being here in this place that feels like nowhere. I’m tired of caring what people think about me. I’m tired of being afraid. I’ve met someone that makes me want to breathe in this world again and I would not hold my breath a second longer. None of these lies I told made me stronger. None of the secrets I kept made me happier. So I’m gonna try something else now. I’m gonna try telling the truth. My Truth. My name is Sean Dougan, AKA Kaldrick King, AKA The King of California. I’m gay.”

If Bohemea’s tumblr was deleted then we’re all as good as gone. In addition to running a beautifully curated blog, Bohemea was meticulous in citing photographers, sources, etc. Her deletion is complete bullshit and I don’t know what tumblr is playing at.
