No matter how much potential there is for fostering dialogue and exposing new perspectives in our online discussions of feminist theory and practice, there is, at the moment, an overwhelming feeling that, in this conversation, we’re not just treading water but swallowing it. There are, of course, people addressing these types of issues in a more intelligent, straightforward way elsewhere on the internet… but in general, the whole thing is beginning to feel a bit like a pile-on and less like a productive discussion.</p> <p>And that’s for those of us who are already concerned with participating. Never mind the people who don’t see themselves as being included or represented in contemporary discussions of feminism in popular culture. I know a stupid-huge number of brilliant young women who are reluctant (or who flat-out refuse) to identify themselves as feminists—not because they’re not, but because when they look at the totality of the current public discourse about this stuff, they don’t see anything useful or reflective of their own experience. Instead, they see this enormous pile of recursive, self-reflexive, critical bullshit; useless to them, useless to anyone and ultimately best to steer clear of entirely.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em><p>Emma Healey, <a href="http://maisonneuve.org/blog/2012/02/24/n1s-so-many-feelings-and-way-we-talk-about-feminis/" target="_blank">Maisonneuve</a> (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://staceymayfowles.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">staceymayfowles</a>)</p> <p>I can relate to this through the lens of race-focused discourse.</p></em>http://imjoncrowley.com/post/18194087876http://imjoncrowley.com/post/18194087876Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:15:25 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzv5wnLIrr1qz7f56o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>This is why I generally remain clean shaven.</p>http://imjoncrowley.com/post/18144736645http://imjoncrowley.com/post/18144736645Thu, 23 Feb 2012 15:50:46 -0500<iframe src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/37107843" width="400" height="225" frameborder="0"></iframe><br/><br/><p>Coke Olympics, ‘Beat 2012 Documentary Trailer’</p>http://imjoncrowley.com/post/18128704218http://imjoncrowley.com/post/18128704218Thu, 23 Feb 2012 09:07:32 -0500vimeoautopost<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://assets.tumblr.com/swf/audio_player_black.swf?audio_file=http://www.tumblr.com/audio_file/18081669606/tumblr_lzt7boxppF1qz7f56&color=FFFFFF&logo=soundcloud" height="27" width="207" quality="best" wmode="opaque"></embed><br/><br/><p>Da Chip Volume 2 (2012)<br/> The music of Daft Punk revisited on vintage game systems<br/> <a href="http://www.dachip.com" target="_blank">www.dachip.com</a></p>http://imjoncrowley.com/post/18081669606http://imjoncrowley.com/post/18081669606Wed, 22 Feb 2012 14:26:12 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzq5vkA24s1qz7f56o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A well-lit dark and stormy.
