Fuck Yeah Fierce Bitches

Be happy. Do things that make you happy within the confines of the legal system. Do things that make you feel good and proud. It can be almost anything. Name something. Yes, sure, try that. Contribute to the world. Help people. Help one person. Help someone cross the street today. Help someone with directions unless you have a terrible sense of direction. Help someone who’s trying to help you. Just help. Make an impact. Show someone you care. Say yes instead of no. Say something nice. Smile. Make eye contact. Hug. Kiss. Get naked. Laugh. Laugh as much as you can. Laugh until you cry. Cry until you laugh. Keep doing it even if people are passing you on the street saying, “I can’t tell if that person is laughing or crying but either way they seem crazy, let’s walk faster.” Emote. It’s okay. It shows you are thinking and feeling. Find out who you are and figure out what you believe in. Even if it’s different from what your neighbors believe in and different from what your parents believe in. Stay true to yourself. Have your own opinion. Don’t worry about what people say about you or think about you. Let the naysayers nay. They will eventually grow tired of naying. - Ellen DeGeneres

It is said that I’m distant and cold. I’m just someone who’s very shy. I’m not comfortable doing interviews because I have to talk about myself. To talk about yourself, you have to know yourself pretty well and I feel like there are still some shades in me that I don’t know about.

“Until about sixth grade I was pretty quiet and wouldn’t consider myself a class clown during those years. Once I got into middle school I was definitely one of the funny ones. I was always doing some type of weird public prank, dressing up in strange costumes, or doing characters. I was definitely a weirdo. I don’t know where it came from. It just kind of happen out of nowhere. I think if you talk to people that I went to school with they’d probably tell you I was a bit of a class clown.”

Because I’ve had this mad international upbringing, with the Cuba and the Chile and the Spanish and the English and the French and the Swiss and the American and all that, it’s influenced the way that I am.

“If you want to have a career for a long time, you need to act right. I know it’s counterintuitive to the whole rock ‘n’ roll thing, but I have never acted like I was a person who was so great and unimpeachably great that I could afford to be an asshole to people, nor would I want to be. I take it seriously.” — St. Vincent

It’s important to have strong images of women out there, women who aren’t afraid of expressing themselves, women who aren’t afraid of taking chances, women who aren’t afraid of their own power. Unfortunately, being a woman in society means that sometimes you have to sort of quell what is instinctually broad and magnificent and magical about you.

— Gina Torres

“I’m open to whoever. I think it is absurd to assume that I have to look in a certain category. A person should make choices — about who they want to marry, who they want to spend time with, who they want to fuck — based on a variety of options, and I hope that one day people will be more open-minded about that. It’s silly to look in one category or another. I would never imagine a mate based on a certain sex or race.”

Happy 100th birthday Mary Blair!!!

Mary Blair (October 21, 1911 - July 26, 1978), born Mary Robinson, was an American artist who was prominent in producing art and animation for The Walt Disney Company, drawing concept art for such films as Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Song of the South and Cinderella.

“Britta’s not responsible in the same way that I am, but I understand someone who cares about things like justice and world peace and equality. I was the kid who was listening to Supreme Court cases when I was in high school, and wanting to call the ACLU. I was mocked a lot in high school for listening to NPR, and having strong opinions about things. I wrote a paper in sixth grade about equal pay for women. Everyone else was writing about, ‘Why you should be allowed to wear hats in school’ or chew gum.. So I’ve been there!”
