News you can use?
Lauren DiCioccio uses a simple needle and thread on cotton muslin to mummify and honor an endangered artifact– the printed newspaper. In each piece, as The New York Times’ text fades, its correlating cover portraits puncture the surface with pockets of strung together color, reminding us of a certain tactile human unraveling as we adaptively wave goodbye to the Industrial Age.

’Slut’ is attacking women for their right to say yes. ‘Friend Zone’ is attacking women for their right to say no.
—And “bitch” is attacking women for their right to call you on it.

We may have had our differences in the past, Zooey, but this may be one of my favorite feminist quotes of all time:
“We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a fucking feminist and wear a fucking Peter Pan collar. So fucking what?”

I think we, as an age group and as a generation, have a hard time finding our center because we are still finding, discovering who we really are. We’ve spent our entire lives thus far being defined by our parents, pushing for the ‘best and brightest’, our friend groups, sports activities and social lives. And now, we are in charge of finding out what we want our lives to be and look like and that’s a very overwhelming concept. For a generation that finds connections through electronic interactions and a general post-9/11 ennui of the soul and at the heart of our culture. We are an angsty bunch, with high parental divorce rates and growing up in grunge. The Berlin Wall fell, the Cold War anxieties ended: so where does the energy transpose? To us. General uncertainty fills our lungs like a burial shroud.

What I’m (re)reading.*
*May or may not have something to do with needing a PLL fix until January.**
**May or may not also fill the need for depressing Eastern European lit to match my winter moods.

4 more years: and this is why I’m excited for it.
PRESIDENT OBAMA: I’m not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path. I’m not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting.

“And if I have to listen to one more grey-faced man with a $2 haircut explain to me what rape is, I’m going to lose my mind.” — Tina Fey speaking at the Center for Reproductive Rights Inaugural Gala.
