Beasts of the Southern Wild:
Hushpuppy, an intrepid six-year-old girl, lives with her father, Wink, in “the Bathtub,” a southern Delta community at the edge of the world. Wink’s tough love prepares her for the unraveling of the universe; for a time when he’s no longer there to protect her. When Wink contracts a mysterious illness, nature flies out of whack-temperatures rise, and the ice caps melt, unleashing an army of prehistoric creatures called aurochs. With the waters rising, the aurochs coming, and Wink’s health fading, Hushpuppy goes in search of her lost mother.
goosebumps, y’all.
and a few tears snuck in…

South African Idol Killing Me Softly The Remix (by carlosdiaz1992)
Interview with PARIAH actress Adepero Oduye
THIS IS AMAZING: D’Banj vs The Real Oliver Twist
You know it had to be done, so here it is. A mash-up video that combines Nigerian Kokomaster D’Banj’s hit song ‘Oliver Twist’ with footage from the 1948 film of the same name.
Seun Kuti at The Highline Ballroom
this music video is really Important because:
a. women reclaiming public space/space where harassment occurs
b. reappropriation of physical harassment thru the use of handprint imagery
c. reappropriation of masculine object (baseball bat) for self-defense by women
d. men shown performing physical labor as work/women shown performing physical labor for pleasure
e. deconstruction of ageism thru the inclusion of young & elderly women being complete badasses
f. centering around performance by women of color, which is refreshing when we as a culture just had to deal with the fucking white girl mafia
g. doooooope. beat. not going to pretend i don’t love this song (or rye rye in general)

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW IMPORTANT THIS SONG AND MUSIC VIDEO IS
CAN WE WATCH IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH AND THEN WATCH IT ALL THE WAY THROUGH ONE MORE TIME
1. this shit dropped in 1999.
2. this was jlo’s debut music video from her debut studio album.
3. this music video is totally like “wassup laura mulvey + ya btw, i’m gazin back at the males that r gazin at me, AND WHAT?” totally webcam/vlog praxis shifting theories of the gaze (i just typo’d ‘teh gaze’ and i want to note its significance. also mentioning typos for sous rature) and the object’s awareness + relocation into ~subject territory~ through the lens of the webcam
+4. it’s so vulnerable and assertive in its vulnerability. “first of all, i won’t take you cheating on me”, then, if you cheat on me, “would you lie to me?” because “i don’t need the hurt and i don’t need the pain”
+5. it’s the best song ever and i have definitely listened to this and “all for you” by janet jackson on repeat when i’m in that mood where i’m laughing at my sadness. i’ll have to write about “all for you” another time cuz it’s just too much (“it’s all for you [if you really want it], it’s all for you [if you say you need it], it’s all for you [if you’ve gotta have it]” and also the hilarious shrug factor of “got a nice package alright/*shrug* guess i’m gonna have to ride it tonight *shrug*)
