Beyoncé Songs Re-Imagined as Undergraduate Theses in Women’s and Gender Studies

Beyoncé Songs Re-Imagined as Undergraduate Theses in Women’s and Gender Studies:

adeandabet:

Baby Boy: The Sociocultural Effects of Prolonged Male Adolescence

Check on It: The Gendered Dynamics of Male Spectatorship in Urban Public Spaces

Crazy in Love: The Diagnosis and Treatment of “Female Hysteria” During the Late Nineteenth Century

Naughty Girl: Disidentification and the Performance of Female Sexual Promiscuity

Cater 2 U: Female Subservience and the Reinforcement of Hegemonic Gendered Power Structures

Get Me Bodied: A Radical Critique of the Sex/Gender Binary

Freakum Dress: The Role of Consumerism in the Construction and Assertion of Female Sexuality

Videophone: Social Networking Technology and the Deconstruction of the Dominant Gaze

Run the World (Girls): Historical Perspectives on Global Female Leadership

Bills Bills Bills: The Dual-Income Model and the Reshaping of the Domestic Sphere

Soldier: The Hypermasculinization of U.S. Military Culture

Independent Women: Girl I Didn’t Know You Could Get Down (to Business in the Public Sphere and Still Be Expected to Perform Domestic Labor During the “Second Shift”) Like That

Alli Farer lives in New York and her greatest regret is not naming her undergraduate thesis “Ladies Leave Your Man at Home.”

This amazing Hairpin article encompasses just about all of my interests (Beyonce, Gender, Academic Explorations of Society via Pop Culture). If only the author could have some how incorporated cheese into this it would have been a home run on the Kia Matthews’ Life Interests front.

#ooh #says the man who thinks everyone is needed #says ‘in nine hundred years of time and space i’ve never met someone who wasn’t important before #loves everyone so completely has such faith in humanity #values life so so much #he’s met so many amazing people #seen so many amazing things #of course he values life #just not /his/

#god this episode #the lonely god stripping his bright beautiful believer of her faith #just so that *she* might survive #!!! #the mortal who requires no belief other than in herself #who needs to fall from belief in order to later find meaning #that of growing up: of ridding yourself of magical toxic delusions #stepping into reality #literally OPENING HER EYES UP #even though she doesnt want to #even though at the very core she knows; she knows it was never real #but she *wanted to belive* however much it hurt her in the end #ughhhh #this dynamic could’ve been transcendent; was in fact transcendent at times #the relationship between child/parent hero/worshipper mortal/god #and at the very core of it #how releasing those beliefs may in fact ready you for new adventures #for better adventures; even (thymoss)

history meme - ten moments - the crowning and beheading of anne boleyn

Anne was crowned Queen of England on 1 June 1533, and her ascension to the throne marked the split between her husband, Henry VIII, and The Catholic Church, and the beginning of the The Church of England, which remains the state religion in England to this day. She was beheaded on 19 May 1536 under accusations of high treason, including murder, incest and witchcraft. Her daughter Elizabeth would eventually ascend the throne and become one of Britain’s most celebrated rulers. Anne is remembered as one of history’s most infamous queens.

#best best best #sundered the kingdom from the church with nothing but her body and her wits #all to claw her way to the crown; under which she brought god and the king together in the body of her husband #like? fuck. #talk about capitalizing on psycho-sexual geo-political philsophical and structural weaknesses #to turn tremors into a schism #all for the desires of your own heart and ambition #jfc (okayophelia)

what if stid and all that business about marcus and offensive defense and breaking the prime directive is really all about the slippery slope to empire and this “alternate universe” is really the mirror universe and we’re just seeing how it starts

#oh no i really want this #because it would be an AOS version of the mirror!verse #one where evil isn’t as obvious as gold sashes and goatees and agonizers #but something insidious and relatable and all too easy to justify #what if the enterprise was sent far away on a 5 year mission so they wouldn’t interfere #as starfleet continues on the trajectory started by marcus to become almost unrecognizable when they return (radiophile)

Natalie is extraordinary. She’s such a technician, as an actress. Natalie trained. She’s the epitome of when training meets talent in the best way possible. She’s naturally gifted and comes alive on camera. It’s a fantastic mixture. - Jonathan Rhys Meyers

Elizabeth hardly ever mentioned her mother, but a locket-ring she wore says more than a million words ever could: inside the ring was a picture of Elizabeth and her mother, Anne Boleyn.

#the scene in anne of a thousand days remains my favourite forever and ever - ‘elizabeth will rule.’ #i.. ug h #anne boleyn in her last incandescent moments with a second of brilliant foresight that has been sucked out of her during those last few mont #the future as bright and clear in front of her as if she is there at her daughter’s coronation #fuck you henry #fuck you and your sons and you throwing away women like disposable trash #who would have thought that the daughter of the devil’s whore would take the throne of england #and craft its golden age #the crumbling of henry’s dreams is actually my favorite part #wow fuck you FUCK YOU!!! AHAHAHA #VICIOUS GLEE #this is giving me so many feelings (ilvalentinos)

how could you possibly root against a deranged master manipulator who vowed for confusing and unknown reasons to destroy the lives of like 5-10 of the most infuriating dickheads in all of TV history and doing all of this while being constantly shocked by his own means of destruction?

how could you disagree with those life choices?

(dedicated to villainyandgoodcheekbones for her 21st!)

what better way to commemorate your fall from the house of your father than to throw a party at the end of the universe? consider damnation your invitation and price to get in at the door. leave your harps behind and give yourself up to the fiery rapture of the underworld to the decadent discords of damnation, and pay your respects to the fallen angel too fabulous for heaven itself.

NINETY-FIVE GRIEVANCES TO GOD: ABRIDGED

Wed, 22 May 2013 08:06:07 -0400

After Martin Luther

1. Children are capable of feeling
both shame and abandonment.

14. My father lives alone. Also,
a hawk killed his dog and you
expect me to believe in mercy.

20. Good things happen to bad people.

47. One day, every person I have ever
loved will die and the only option
you have given me is to just sit by
and watch it happen or hope
I am the first to go.

48. Speaking of love,

86. The list of artists who have
committed suicide only includes
the ones who were well known
enough to be found.

95. As a child, I prayed every night.
It felt important. Mature. Powerful.
I wish someone had told me that
it was me, that I was the powerful one.
Imagine it: fleets of six-year-olds
believing that strongly in themselves.

- Sierra DeMulder
