CLAP BACK, Jane.
“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.”
AKA ENTITLEMENT
People in oppressing groups forget that this shit is not supposed to feel easy. It sure as hell hasn’t been easy for the rest of us.
someday I, in a moment of absolute freedom, want to be photographed by a lover.
flushed skin from sexual energy and wine, I want to be photographed. in moments of absolute submission and display, I want to be photographed. feeling nothing but love and acceptance from my partner, and myself, I want to be photographed. in the bath, on the bed, eyes locked on the lens.
the rawest, grittiest, loveliest pictures we can make.
This was nice to read
Yea this made me feel better.
This is all true.
I feel like there are a million people who need to understand this.
wow this breakdown is actually super helpful to think about
[Image. A piece of paper with two columns.
The first column is titled: Brutal Honesty. Underneath is the text:
Makes only the truth-teller feel good
Assumes stupidity of the recipient
Isn’t necessarily vital for the recipient to know
Is usually expressed spontaneously
Is said out of irritation with the other person.
The second column is titled: Loving Honesty. Underneath is the text:
Is difficult for both speaker and recipient
Understands that the recipient is intelligent and can make the best decisions about his/her life
Is vital that the recipient know
Is usually expressed after a great deal of thought
Is offered out of concern for the other’s well-being.”]
