My 10 Favorite Albums from Female-Fronted Bands in 2015. London-born folk singer Lianne La Havas released her excellent album Blood this year. I listen to a LOT of music, so choosing my ten favorite albums this year was tough. After much debate, here are my picks. 10) Georgia Anne Muldrow - A Thoughtiverse Unmarred Georgia Anne Muldrow's out-of-box 2015 hip hop album, A Thoughtiverse Unmarred, is laid out like a cinematic tale of a woman who started her life as an unruly partier and slowly became enlightened. 9) Jessie Jones - Jessie Jones Jessie Jones' debut solo album is a dreamy confessional collection that shares the inner workings of her personal struggle. 8) Lower Dens - Escape from Evil Escape from Evil is probably one of the most beautiful albums you'll ever hear in your life. 7) FKA twigs - M3LL155X British artist FKA twigs puts a polish and spit shine on modern R&B pop and trip hop. 6) Bjork - Vulnicura Bjork is simply a staple of 20th- and 21st-century contemporary music. 5) Siouxsie and the Banshees - Live in Cologne 1981.
On the Proper Usage of terms "Racism" and "Racist" : SRSDiscussion. A 5-Step Guide for Macklemore and White Allies Afraid of Doing Anti-Racism 'Wrong' What do you think of Macklemore rapping about the benefits he and other white folks get as a result of white privilege? Is this a brave act of allyship, or a self-serving moment of white saviorhood? The hip-hop artist and his music producer Ryan Lewis just released “White Privilege II.” Some people are giving a suspicious side eye, while others say it’s a good move for white guy in a genre created by Black folks to acknowledge his privilege and get people talking about it. If you’re a white ally, this may have you wondering what this means for you. If you have an opportunity to speak out on racism, should you take it? Or would that mean you’re taking up space in a conversation best left to people of color?
Both sides of this debate have valid points. The “bad” news about “White Privilege II” is that yes, it’s imperfect. Here’s a chance to put yourself in Macklemore’s position. Are you dizzy with the implications of white privilege yet? And guess what? 1. Then follow these guidelines: 2. 3. Thanks for Nothing: Black Women Don’t Owe White Feminism a Damn Thing. By Kesiena Boom White women’s mediocrity and propensity for wanting credit where none is due are the background noise of basic-ass feminism. This low level buzzing of bullshit is annoying as hell, but I’ve mainly gotten used to it and can usually go about my business without paying it much mind. Sometimes, however, the buzz becomes so high pitched and ridiculous that I feel compelled to comment. This week was one of those times. A few days ago Twitter user and “journalist” Rebecca Griffin decided to use social media to come for Black women in the feminist movement whilst praising white women.
Griffin doesn’t identify white. In Griffin’s frankly ludicrous, ignorant, and downright offensive opinion, “When black women attack ‘white feminism,’ they are forgetting who made it possible for them to have rights -- as women. Oh, Lord. Well, maybe I should start with something that clearly (and bafflingly) needs repeating: PEOPLE. This isn’t opinion. We really do not owe white women shit! Creating Safe Spaces for Healing Sexual Violence: An Interview with Tovah Means - The Breathe Network The Breathe Network. Feeling safe again within one’s own shape after sexual violence can be one of the most challenging aspects of healing, and is often an ongoing internal conversation for survivors. Working primarily with the mind and relying on language or telling the details of the “story” (or perhaps, stories) can be destabilizing for survivors and decrease their sense of safety.
Yet, we know that our bodies, minds and spirits are intrinsically connected and therefore, attending to our whole selves and healing from the inside out is effective and empowering – so what alternate options are available? For many survivors, beginning with modalities that bring them into their bodies can be an entry into healing the mind and spirit as well. For others, emphasizing or exploring the spiritual or energetic quality of the experience can enable their deep resilience to emerge.
