Being Poor | Whatever - 0 views

  •  
    I was searching for this blog post because it is mentioned in our reading, Nakamura, "Queer female of color: The highest difficulty setting there is? Gaming rhetoric as gender capital." I found it on my FB feed a while back, and remembered it and had to share. My friend posted it, and there were such comments like "it's so sad and true," and "I cried," etc. It did get a lot of hits and went viral, I'd say at least on FB. :)

Gotham Gal: Dove's Selfies - 0 views

  •  
    An interesting social media project via Dove. The girls were more comfortable about who they are than their mothers were.
  •  
    There was this great project last year that asked girls to ask what they liked best about either themselves or their bodies and the responses were so cool. One girl really loved her feet because they could take her anywhere!
