“When I write, I fall into the zone many writers, painters, musicians, athletes, and craftsmen of all sorts seem to share: In doing something I enjoy and am expert at, deliberate thought falls aside and it is all just there. I think of the next word no more than the composer thinks of the next note.”
— RIP, Roger Ebert – the beloved critic on writing and life. Loading... -

Have you been seeing red equal sign symbols popping up in your Newsfeed this week? Facebook did the math and estimates more than 2.7 million US users changed their profile pictures in support of gay marriage equality. (Some users even showed their support through equality strips of bacon, sideways cats, and red velvet cake.)

Who here was one of the 2.7 million?

A diver has a very personal moment of dejection at the bottom of the pool during the 2012 CCCA Swimming and Diving State Championships at East Los Angeles College Swim Stadium on Thursday, April 26, 2012 in Monterey Park, CA. (Photo by Suzanne Tylander © 2012) This particular photo represents an emotional moment rarely caught underwater. This particular diver was expected to win the entire event. The diver knew as soon as he hit the water his form was flawed and that he might have just lost it all. I was fortunate enough to witness this moment as it was unfolding underwater. I captured the sequence of emotion just a split second after he hit the water and began to sink to the bottom with a sense of defeat written in his body language This was the image I chose from the series. I have felt this emotion and disappointment before as many athletes do. My chance to capture it underwater was rare but beautiful. It is a moment no competitive athlete wants to relive but something important that many of us can relate to. It is raw and human and real.

Indian Hindu widows throw flowers as part of Holi celebrations organized by the NGO Sulabh at the Meera Sahbhagini Ashram in Vrindavan, India on March 27, 2013. The widows, many of whom at times have lived desperate lives in the streets of the temple town, celebrated the festival for the first time at the century old ashram. After their husband’s deaths the women have been banished by their families to the town where devotees believe Lord Krishna was born, for supposedly bringing bad luck.

- Re: this. Jon Hamm is right: it’s rude. Why are people talking about his dick? Why do we talk about other people’s penises, or vaginas, or breasts like they belong to us, like we have a right to talk about things that are on other people’s bodies and that aren’t ours?
- And they’re not even talking about his penis! They’re talking about outlines in tight-fitting pants and bulges in swimwear and… and his cock, which isn’t even out, isn’t laid out on a table like a roasted pig at a luau or a turkey at Thanksgiving! ”Describe his penis!” someone might ask one of these gossip writers. ”Well, my sources haven’t actually seen it,” they might answer, “but did you see the photos from the Mad Men location shoot in Hawaii, OMG, they had to tell him to wear underwear because it looked like he was walking around with the Rock of Gibraltar in his Speedos, LOL!!!”
- And they’re not cracking “Is Jon Hamm just happy to see me?” jokes like we do sometimes here at Tumblr. (Guilty! —ed.) It’s not that his dick is the butt (sorry) of a joke. It’s a subject of continuing, extended, unwarranted coverage in major newspapers and magazines. Continuing, extended, unwarranted coverage of a penis that, far as I can tell, no one quoted in any of these stories has — again — actually seen.
- So let’s listen to Jon Hamm. He’s a cool dude.
- And right now, he isn’t very happy to see us.
