so Warby Parker pretty much wins the internet today. After a call with customer service, Kevin (@mister_wang) tweeted about having a crush on the service agent he was just talking to about his glasses. The two of them happen to share a birthday and he wanted to know how to find her.
Brilliantly, they quickly had her make a video. Um, win! I REALLY HOPE THEY GO OUT. This is too cute and also super smart. The community of glasses nerds that love the brand has been rallying around this and everyone is loving it and what’s not to love— love, glasses, geek crushes on a Thursday afternoon. Flawless execution, Warby!

i dont want my words to be taken out of context i dont want to be infantilized because i refuse to be sexualized i dont want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction i dont want to live in a world where im gonna have to start employing body guards because this kind of behavior is so commonplace and accepted and I’m pissed that when I express concern over my own safety it’s often ignored until people see firsthand what happens and then they apologize for not taking me seriously after the fact… I’m tired of men who aren’t professional or even accomplished musicians continually offering to ‘help me out’ (without being asked), as if i did this by accident and i’m gonna flounder without them. or as if the fact that I’m a woman makes me incapable of using technology. I have never seen this kind of thing happen to any of my male peers I’m tired of the weird insistence that i need a band or i need to work with outside producers (and I’m eternally grateful to the people who don’t do this)
im tired of being considered vapid for liking pop music or caring about fashion as if these things inherently lack substance or as if the things i enjoy somehow make me a lesser person im tired of being congratulated for being thin because i can more easily fit into sample sizes from the runway im tired of people i love betraying me so they can get credit or money
I’m sad that it’s uncool or offensive to talk about environmental or human rights issues
I’m tired of creeps on message boards discussing whether or not they’d “fuck” me
I’m tired of people harassing my dancers and treating them like they aren’t human beings
I’m sad that my desire to be treated as an equal and as a human being is interpreted as hatred of men, rather than a request to be included and respected (I have four brothers and many male best friends and a dad and i promise i do not hate men at all, nor do i believe that all men are sexist or that all men behave in the ways described above) im tired of being referred to as ‘cute,’ as a ‘waif’ etc., even when the author, fan, friend, family member etc. is being positive (fyi)
waif |wāf|
noun
1 a homeless and helpless person, esp. a neglected or abandoned child: she is foster-mother to various waifs and strays .
• an abandoned pet animal.
cute |kyo͞ot|
adjective
1 attractive in a pretty or endearing way: a cute kitten.
• informal sexually attractive.
I’m tired of people assuming that just because something happens regularly it’s ok
——————————————————
i have so much love for everyone who has been cool and amazing. I have the best job in the world but I’m done with being passive about any kind of status quo that allows anyone to suffer or to be disrespected
Grimes world tour is officially over, the visions album cycle is officially over, and I’m now taking the time to overhaul everything and make it better much love to every fan - stuff can be lame sometimes but its really cool to have this support <3

Whoa not ok. // Ford India & JWT India (WPP-owned) have apologized for the above ad they are claiming is “unauthorized.” JUST BECAUSE THE AD HASNT RUN, DOESNT MEAN IT’S “NOT AUTHORIZED.” Way to glorify rape culture, Ford India clients. Ew.
It shows three scantily clad, gagged and bound women in the back of Ford Figo compact car driven by a grinning caricature of Italy’s Silvio Berlusconi. The tagline for the ad: “Leave your worries behind with Figo’s extra-large boot.” Another ad, on the same theme, shows a character resembling Paris Hilton hauling what looks like the Kardashian sisters in the trunk. A third ad featured a caricature of Formula One driver Michael Schumacher abducting his male racing competitors. The ad was uploaded to Ads of the World before it received official client sign off.

On January 4th, 2007, Steve Jobs presented the iphone for the very first time. At 4:50 minutes in, he prank called Starbucks to show off the groundbreaking GPS mapping features, saying:
“Yes, I’d like to order 4,000 lattes to go, please, No, just kidding. Wrong number. Goodbye!”
Since then, Apple fans have been pranking that Starbucks asking for 4,000 lattes! Fast Company has followed up with the barista who unknowingly answered Jobs’ call. Def worth a watch & a read. Such fun to watch this video & experience the nostalgia of hearing him say “widgets” vs apps etc!
