I really loved this site and it meant a lot to me for a long time. It still does! I love you all and I’m really glad I met so many good people through Tumblr. I learned a lot and found a lot of cool new stuff. My tastes and interests grew because of Tumblr. I want to keep posting (very sporadically, as I have been) after 12/17 but I wonder how much of my archive will be lost. Images that were inspirational, beautiful, goofy, sexy, stupid. Images that helped me process the world and my feelings. Every once in a while I’ll look through my own archive to get a sense of what I was thinking about, photographing, and reblogging ten years ago: in college, after college, into grad school, after grad school, after my 20s. It feels a little bit dramatic to write this, but that’s always been the appeal of Tumblr! Tips for Health and Beauty 2009–? Love you. -Ben

There is nothing about being “female” that naturally binds women. There is not even such a state as “being” female, itself a highly complex category constructed in contested sexual scientifc discourses and other social practices. Gender, race, or class consciousness is an achievement forced on us by the terrible historical experience of the contradictory social realities of patriarchy, colonialism, and capitalism.

I have been listening to this on repeat and it is truly both legendary and sublime
