“… the socialization of boys regarding masculinity is often at the expense of women. I came to realize that we don’t raise boys to be men, we raise them not to be women (or gay men). We teach boys that girls and women are “less than” and that leads to violence by some and silence by many. It’s important for men to stand up to not only stop men’s violence against women but, to teach young men a broader definition of masculinity that includes being empathetic, loving and non-violent.”

- Don McPherson, former NFL quarterback, feminist and educator (via seraphmachine)

stop supporting the myth that poor people don’t deserve to have “nice” things. because that sort of narrative continues to ignore the complexities of capitalism and struggle and takes us away from examining why it’s easier for someone living below the poverty line to get a…

Lori Nix constructs these small dioramas using cardboard, foam, glue and paint which she then photographs using an 8 x 10 inch camera. Each piece takes about 7 months to complete.

Aw. I wanted to visit all these places and now I know they are too small for me. STILL GORGEOUS, THOUGH!!

racerabbit:

I was in my car when The Eurythmics’ “Here Comes the Rain Again” came on my iPod. It got me thinking that I’ve never heard a cover it, and that it was a song that was deserving of new interpretations.

So, once home I went to Youtube to look for covers, and found one that is almost everything I’d hoped for as a re-interpretation of this iconic song. I say “almost” as the singer’s vocals leave a bit to be desired, though the driving guitar backed by the orchestral strings save this song from being a mere also-ran like a couple of the other versions I heard.
