“

I like it [Riot Grrrl Rap] because I like what’s associated with it, but I don’t know if the original Riot Grrrl theorists would necessarily agree. I use derogatory language against women in my raps but I do it from the standpoint of a gay man, so when I use the word “bitch” I’m saying it in a gay way. But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m still saying it, and it doesn’t change the fact that as a born male, who’s not actually transgendered, that dresses as a drag queen I still have an advantageous position.

It becomes stressful because as an artist I can’t weed out the life experiences that have made me who I am, and that will resonate in the songs, but at the same time I’m aware of it and I don’t know quite how to defend myself yet.

As an example when Azealia Banks called Perez Hilton a messy faggot… I mean anyone who’s gay knows how cunty Azealia Banks is, she surrounds herself with gay men, anyone would have had prior knowledge, like oh that’s how she talks. When that situation happened I, maybe immaturely, took the position of, “I don’t like the fact that the white gay mafia is beating up on this person.” Because from the time I was thirteen years old I’ve seen gay politics in this country and gay media and the messages that are promoted, and I’ve been unsatisfied with them.

Now we have recognizable gay icons on daytime TV and I think those are good things for gay culture but at the same time, no gay celebrity who really has pull in this country ever promotes or calls attention to serious LGBT rights. I want to get to a place in my career where I can take those positions, but I can’t yet because I’m still too uninformed and I’m still just trying to figure out my own stuff.

I never get tired of this photo.

Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at Mocambo because of her race. Then, one of Ella’s biggest fans made a telephone call that quite possibly changed the path of her career for good. Here, Ella tells the story of how Marilyn Monroe changed her life:

“I owe Marilyn Monroe a real debt… she personally called the owner of the Mocambo, and told him she wanted me booked immediately, and if he would do it, she would take a front table every night. She told him – and it was true, due to Marilyn’s superstar status – that the press would go wild. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. The press went overboard. After that, I never had to play a small jazz club again. She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.”

incense-princess:

This miniature ecosystem has been thriving in an almost completely isolated state for more than forty years. It has been watered just once in that time.

The original single spiderwort plant has grown and multiplied, putting out seedlings. As it has access to light, it continues to photosynthesize. The water builds up on the inside of the bottle and then rains back down on the plants in a miniature version of the water cycle.

As leaves die, they fall off and rot at the bottom producing the carbon dioxide and nutrients required for more plants to grow.

Rare Lenticular Clouds

The stunning meteorological phenomena of lenticular clouds (Altocumulus lenticularis) is a rare spectacle. Looking more like UFO’s than clouds, they are created by three conditions: warm and moist air, winds with constant height and something big, like a tall mountain. When a current of air hits an obstacle in its way, it begins to travel upwards and starts to condense forming a lens-shaped cloud with multiple layers.

Both absolutely fascinating and absolutely stunning. Complement with The Cloud Collector’s Handbook.
