Lee & Low Books continues to create infographics focusing on diversity in media representation.  This one focuses on the Academy Awards from 1927 to 2012.   The researchers reviewed the 85 year old history of the institution and call the results “staggeringly disappointing.”

Since the Academy Awards was founded 85-years ago:

  • Only one woman of color (1%) has ever won the Academy Award for Best Actress
  • Only six men of color (7%) have ever won the Academy Award for Best Actor
  • Only one woman (1%) has ever won the Academy Award for Best Director

Check out more commentary from the researchers and an interview with filmmakers of color at their website!

these olympics are going to be a huge milestone for the gay rights movement.

as people are giving less and less shits (along with our wonderful governments), i feel those places that dont already accept the oh-my-god-gay-people-actually-exist agenda will soon be following suit with the rest of the world.

i’ve never seen so much gay in the world all at once

My thing is, have sex whenever you decide to want to have sex. You want to have sex on the first night, go ahead. You want to have sex after 20 dates, go ahead. You want to never have sex, go ahead. People think that someone’s sexual choices actually coincide with their personality. If all you can think of someone’s worth is whether they want to have sex or not, then the problem is probably you.
