basquecuisine: “The influence of [Calloway’s] Marxist viewpoint: one of the most astonishing aspects of ‘Adrien Brody,’ and one of the things that is most difficult for people to deal with, is the way in which it does not conform to capitalist notions of sexual currency.

karaj: on vulnerability as privilege, silence as... →
