beautilation:

“I’ll never forget the day Marilyn and I were walking around New York City, just having a stroll on a nice day. She loved New York because no one bothered her there like they did in Hollywood, she could put on her plain-jane clothes and no one would notice her. She loved that. So as we we’re walking down Broadway, she turns to me and says ‘Do you want to see me become her?’ I didn’t know what she meant but I just said ‘Yes’- and then I saw it. I don’t know how to explain what she did because it was so very subtle, but she turned something on within herself that was almost like magic. And suddenly cars were slowing and people were turning their heads and stopping to stare. They were recognizing that this was Marilyn Monroe as if she pulled off a mask or something, even though a second ago nobody noticed her. I had never seen anything like it before.” - Amy Greene, wife of Marilyn’s personal photographer Milton Greene

literaryjukebox:

Cyberspace. A consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of legitimate operators, in every nation, by children being taught mathematical concepts… A graphic representation of data abstracted from banks of every computer in the human system. Unthinkable complexity. Lines of light ranged in the nonspace of the mind, clusters and constellations of data. Like city lights, receding…

William Gibson, coining the term “cyberspace” in Neuromancer (1984)

There she was, my new best friend

High heels in her hands

Swaying in the wind

Then she starts to cry

Mascara running down her little Bambi eyes

“Lana how I hate those guys”

We are living in the ruins of the C20th

We are living in the ruins of the C20th:

Presenting a vision of the twentieth century as a history of false starts, misbegotten technologies and missing utopias, Living in the Ruinsis an archaeological dig into the material culture that forms our present.

In association with the influential New York magazine Cabinet, curators Adam Jasper and Holly Williams draw together objects from art, science and ethnography in a celebration of the profound and the mundane.

The exhibition combines projects from Cabinet with museum pieces and works by Australian and international artists including Daniel Knorr, Patrick Pound, Gianni Motti, Hany Armanious, Maria Friberg, Roman Signer, Sarah Pickering, Nicholas Mangan, David Haines & Joyce Hinterding, Vicky Browne, the Institute of Critical Zoologists,Michael Stevenson, Jaki Middleton & David Lawrey, Nadia Wagner, Alex Gawronski, Lillian O’Neil,Matthew Shannon and others; with loans from theMacleay Museum and the University of Sydney, theMuseum of Old and New Art, the Westpac Banking Group Archives and the Powerhouse Museum.

Living in the Ruins creates a contemporary Wunderkammer that traverses diverse themes from islands to explosions and giant spheres. The exhibition will be anchored by a reading room of the only complete collection of Cabinet publications in Australia; it will be accompanied by a print and online project developed by Zoe Sadokierski and a colloquium on post-disciplinary curation facilitated by Lizzie Muller. Contact the gallery for details.

Sun, 05 May 2013 18:32:20 +1000

“The refusal, especially among liberals, to believe that pornography has any real relationship to sexual violence is astonishing. Liberals have always believed in the value and importance of education. But when it comes to pornography, we are asked to believe that nothing pornographic, whether written or visual, has an educative effect on anyone. A recognition that pornography must teach something does not imply any inevitable conclusion: it does not per se countenance censorship. It does, however, demand that we pay some attention to the quality of life, to the content of pornography. And it especially demands that when sexual violence against women is epidemic, serious questions be asked about the function and value of material that advocates such violence and makes it synonymous with pleasure.”

“I support female anger. I support women being angry towards the gender wage gap, the glass ceiling, anti-choice views and legislation, the social standards of our gender performativity (“femininity). I support women being angry towards unrealistic and harmful beauty standards, towards the virgin/whore dichotomy, towards the sexualization of female innocence and the cultural denying of female sexuality in our old age. I support women being angry at rape culture, at a society that ignores our power and discourages us from using it. I support women who are angry at racism, misogyny, classism and gender roles. I support women who are not afraid to express their anger despite constant cultural reminders that we should sit down and shut up and let the “big, smart, strong men” do the talking. I support women who are angry at the fetishization of lesbians and who realize that turning their sexuality into a fetish isn’t mainstream acceptance but just another manifestation of misogyny. I support women who are angry at the sexualization and glamorization of female pain and distress in porn and the mainstream media. I support women who are angry at the straight male gaze and who are angry at how it represents us. I support women who are angry at sexual harassment and all the women who have come out about their abuse and no one ever believed them. I support the women who are angry and tired of being victim-blamed, who are tired and angry of their choices being policed because clothing doesn’t make men rape, misogyny does.”

“

Of course gender is not a modern invention. It’s been around for as long as patriarchy. “Women are like this; men are like that. “Gender roles can be found in the Bible—divinely ordered social difference between males and females.

And who is the beneficiary of this “difference”? WHO is the materially advantaged sex? Males, always always always MALES. That, is the purpose of gender.

Gender is not a fun dress up game for people who fancy themselves as art. It is a complex social structure whose sole purpose is to distribute power and resources between the sexes. It does this unequally: see ubiquitous evidence of women’s oppression. GENDER is not cool for females.

“The brain-to-brain propagation of Dawkins’ memes can now happen worldwide within seconds. We have a new real-time, global culture that is not only technological but also social. Experiences like imitating the YouTube videos for “Single Ladies,” “Somebody That I Used To Know” and “Call Me Maybe” create INSTANT TRADITIONS, or “meta-memes,” that prime us to become ultra-efficient human information routers.”

tw: rape

today at volunteering there was a client that had a lot of HIV anxiety. i managed to help her in the morning and then a counselor talked to her on the phone later for a while.

usually HIV-related anxiety has something to do with an event in the past that a person feels guilty or ashamed about, so upon further exploration, we discover this woman is convinced she’s HIV-pos because a condom was taken off one time when she was having sex.

so, imagine being in the middle of what you believe is protected sex, turning around, and realizing your partner has taken his fucking condom off.

consent turns to non-consent when a dude with so much entitlement to women’s bodies decides she does not deserve to have protected sex because it’s feels better for him without the condom on.

and then to make things worse, the counselor reiterates to me that this happens ALL THE TIME.

it’s such a small, simple act that represents so much misogyny and lack of respect for a woman’s autonomy, of which we all clearly have none, since apparently we should count ourselves lucky when a dude doesn’t take his fucking condom off when we’re not looking.

and what’s worse, is that men like that don’t count themselves as rapists.
