Dulce Pinzon Multiracial
“This project consists of a series of 16 color portraits of people of mixed ethnic origin in front of primary color backgrounds. The images challenge the concept of race by highlighting the disparity between the stark natural boundaries between the primary colors, and the ambiguous and artificial, yet commonly accepted boundaries between the different races. This project asks the viewer to question the existence of race in nature.”

Why Academia Is No Longer A Smart Choice | newmatilda.com by feminist academic labour blogger, Mel Gregg. Tumbling for her expression “this infinitely suspended promise”, so apt for the gap between stereotypes of Gen Y as spoiled students vs. their labour realities in recession. |
Salma Hayek breastfeeding a baby in Sierra Leone (via metawonders)
“…my baby would be very proud to be able to share her milk” -Hayek

I can’t imagine having a cool mum, or being a cool mum. Did people have cool mums? Do people feel that they are cool mums? Does that make people feel awesome or, like, they’re having more competition in their mum/daughter relations?
Honestly, I’ve spent so much time in borderline matriarchal feminisms, and my extended family is very much about mums and aunties having each others backs, but I can’t imagine having the cool mum, being a former foster kid and lesbian step-mum myself….
This is something that really interests me because of how people’s view of women is sometimes overly shaped by their relationship with their mum as the first female authority in their lives. Did you have a cool mum?
