““For the last three decades many Americans have puzzled over a system that gives an R to a movie in which a women is carved up by a chainsaw and an NC-17 to one that shows a woman sexually pleasured. From such ratings one might conclude that sexual violence against women is OK for American teenagers to see, but that they must be 18 to see consensual sex. What message does this send to the kids the MPAA presumably means to protect?””

- Carrie Rickey

(via fireworkselectricbright)

“You have to question a cinematic culture which preaches artistic expression, and yet would support a decision that is clearly a product of a patriarchy-dominant society, which tries to control how women are depicted on screen. The MPAA is okay supporting scenes that portray women in scenarios of sexual torture and violence for entertainment purposes, but they are trying to force us to look away from a scene that shows a woman in a sexual scenario which is both complicit and complex. It’s misogynistic in nature to try and control a woman’s sexual presentation of self. I consider this an issue that is bigger than this film.”

-Ryan Gosling on the controversy around the rating of his film ‘Blue Valentine’

With deference to the genius of David Bowie, here’s Space Oddity, recorded on Station. A last glimpse of the World.

Huge thanks in the making of the video to the talented trio of Emm Gryner, Joe Corcoran and Andrew Tidby, plus Evan Hadfield and all at the CSA.

Chris is coming back to earth and I totally got all fucking crying boohoo when I watched this because FEELINGS OK?

Yup

This is the most amazing thing.

False Alarm of the Day: FBI Questions Saudi Student for Possession of a Pressure Cooker

Last Friday, the FBI surrounded the home of Saudi student Talal al Rouki after his neighbor tipped off the authorities that he has been seen around the residential area with a pressure cooker, a household kitchenware that recently made the headlines after it was used by the Boston Marathon terrorists to set their deadly bombs off in April. When questioned by the FBI, the frightened Michigan resident showed FBI agents the cooking apparatus, informing them he had used it to make the Saudi Arabian rice dish kabsah before taking it over to a friend’s house, to which they replied “You need to be more careful moving around with such things, Sir.” …Welcome to ‘Murica, Talal!

So why is one considered ‘inappropriate’ and the other accepted? Stop sexualising my body.

I wonder this too. Why is it a man’s breast and nipple are okay to show but a woman’s breast and nipple isn’t.

The video that no one wants to mention

Such a humble, sensitive dude who literally saved lives and all the media (white corporations) & stupid people can think to do is make a joke out of him. Black men can only be clowns or killers regardless of what we do for other people or for ourselves no matter how selflessly it’s done.

We can literally save White people’s lives and STILL be a damn joke to the very people we saved.

I can not even wrap my heart around what honest good this man tried to do and teh foolishness he is receiving

Disgusted and saddened by all of the condescension and casual racism Charles Ramsey is enduring, both in the mainstream press, and online. This is a remarkably kind, loving, strong, GOOD man. He deserves nothing but respect. Raised with class/race privilege? Never eaten McDonald’s for dinner? Congratufuckinglations. Ramsey’s not your personal court jester. He’s a hero.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=zRoKuoQ6gZ8#!

EDITED TO ADD: Also, proactively, I gotta say: Ramsey’s “checkered past” (as TIME Magazine calls it) is painful and sad, but not relevant to the situation at hand. The man paid his debts to society. He pleaded guilty, served his jail time and has moved on with his life. NEWS FLASH: dredging up old mistakes and continuing to use them to define a reformed person’s character makes it very difficult for past offenders to re-integrate. Ramsey has made, and is very obviously continuing to make amends. Respect is fucking due.

43m

And of course, at the core of it all… the nightmare that Amanda Berry, her baby girl, Gina DeJesus, and Michelle Knight endured. I can’t imagine. It’s all so heartbreaking, horrifying.

Holding my loved ones tight. Telling them I love them. Thanking them for their kindness. Hoping for better treatment for all of us. ALL of us.
