Saving Face (2004)
Wil: So…how come we never met before now?
Vivian: We did meet. Nineteen years ago. I was 8, you were 9. Outside the temple.
Wil: I don’t remember.
Vivian: The Wong boys were taunting me about my parents’ divorce. You beat the crap out of them. You were wearing a Kristy McNichol T-shirt, tan cords and a pageboy. You spiled your mom’s groceries. We scooped them into a bag.
Wil: That’s right! And then…
Vivian: And then I kissed you on the nose…and you ran.

♫Someday, I just want you to be brave enough to look into the eyes
of so many people
And tell them we’re in love
There might not be anyone who understands
But it’s okay if we love each other
That’s the most important thing,

One of your own is in need of your help! Help @thisasthmaticheart out! Read this message I got from her:
“hi, i am a follower of your site. I was wondering if you could signal boost this petition that is circulating right now. it is in regards to one of our professors at ucdavis that has not been granted tenure. she is a part of the asian american studies dept. and is the ONLY SEA woman professor in the dept. In academia, the denial of tenure means that the professor must leave their job and is subsequently blacklisted by other universities. This process particularly drives women of color professors out of academia altogether.
It would mean a lot if you could circulate this petition to your followers. Thanks so much!”

Hey there. I’m Kali. I’m a queer grrrl and I’ll probably like you. Come check my blog out: http://www.homoarigato.tumblr.com
Bonus points if you understand my url!
The link is to Fuck Yeah Vietnamese Cuties. I know that it’s just one of many but it’s an example of that same perpetuating idea that to be ‘cute’ or ‘hot’ female-ish person you need to be skinny, petite even, long haired, young, fashionable and feminine. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen some fine ass honeys that are everything but those things!
I’ve even tried posting a picture of myself on the page to gauge what kind of reaction I’d get, of which I could not find posted anywhere when I looked a week or so later.
One word, RAGE.
I’m glad FYAD has it’s place in tumblr-world. I’m glad that we have a good amount of following and that there are people out there who do get what it’s all about. There’s heaps of other pages worth mentioning like Queer Brown XX, Fuck Yeah Chubby Butches, Hairy Pits Club, Fuck Yeah Chubby Girls, CreatrixTiara, and so many others I can’t think of off the top of my head! They all speak to the different and beautiful ways in which we can all be that isn’t generic, class driven and monocultured. Fuck Yeah difference is beautiful!
