Rebel Wilson for Details Magazine

She’s so fab

It’s really fucked up just how much they photoshopped her to look smaller.

You think I don’t see how the hips don’t match up with the guy on the right by a fucking mile because they shrunk down her hips?

Or how the pelvis on the guy on the left looks awkwardly shaved off so they could put in the white backdrop so it’s looks like she takes up less space? I fucking notice.

And they have the audacity to think they’re doing fat girls a favor by tossing in a few paid male models to grope at her breasts so that for once a fat girl gets to feel wanted. That for once a fat girl gets to feel fuckable by the kind of men that we are told will never want us.

Fuck this photoshoot because my body doesn’t need your faux pity acceptance.

Rebel Wilson deserves so much more than this. She deserves raw, unforgiving attention because she is a raw, unforgiving person just like the rest of us.

Omg this commentary is so perfect.

THIS. This is everything.

rollingstone:

“The brilliance of Girls is how these young Americans have already gotten all the hopes and desires trampled out of them. Twenty years ago, Dunham and her friends would have been working in coffee shops in some boho college town. The word ‘slacker’ would have gotten kicked around, and they all would have had bands. (Plus boyfriends who pretend to be Steve Albini.) Ten years ago, they would have been DJs or bloggers with podcasts. (Plus boyfriends who pretend to be James Murphy.) But in 2012, these ladies have no aspirations, not even the insanely pretentious and unrealistic kind. They don’t daydream about being famous or rich. They’re not working on any kind of dream at all.” - Rob Sheffield on the power of Lena Dunham’s Girls

So tragic and so true. I feel like people my age are so afraid to have dreams because we’re much too aware of how unlikely they are to come true.

From, “Literary Ink: Famous Authors and Their Tattoos.”

Rick Moody has one of the coolest tattoos possible (in our opinion), because it’s part of Shelley Jackson’s Skin project, a 2095-word story published exclusively in tattoos, one word each on as many willing volunteers, so it can never be read in its proper order, but just exists, pulsing, out in the world at all times.

This is very, very cool.

This is a zine I created for an assignment in second semester. The brief was very open-ended - create an 8 to 12 page zine on any subject - so I chose to design mine around excerpts and poems by e.e. cummings. The title, Arcadia, is a dual reference to the literary term meaning an unattainable idyllic utopia, and to the Tom Stoppard play of the same name.
