"There is not only need for tenderness, there is also need to be tender for the other: we shut ourselves up in a mutual kindness, we mother each other reciprocally; we return to the root of all relations, where need and desire join. The tender gesture says: ask me anything that can put your body to sleep, but also do not forget that I desire you - a little, lightly, without trying to seize anything right away."
— Roland Barthes, Tenderness. In: A Lover's Discourse: Fragments

Actress Elizabeth Alton has now taken a major step toward pushing against gender inequality in Hollywood: She just launched Full And By Films, a production company with all-female executives. Alton will head the company along with development executive Elise Siegel. They are partnering with Trudie Styler and Celine Rattray of Maven Pictures.
“I’m excited to launch Full And By Films, and I can’t imagine a better production partner than Maven Pictures,” Alton told Variety. “Trudie and Celine are not only both highly experienced and successful producers, but the projects they’ve created demonstrate their tenacious dedication to strong characters and compelling stories that clearly resonate with audiences. It’s an honour to work with them, as well as their company, one that mirrors many of the goals that I aspire to achieve with Full And By Films.”

am i the only person not affected by generalized positivity… like post it notes in bathrooms that say ‘you’re beautiful’ or posts that are like ‘smile! you are a beautiful sunshine flower!’ i’m just like … okay…
I just heard a psychologist (Guy Winch) say that the people that positive affirmations help most are actually the people who have high or at least normal self-esteem. They really do cheer those people up!
But for the rest of us they run so counter to our general worldview (we’re fundamentally bad and deserve nothing) that our brain rejects them immediately as lies and uses that moment to remind us of how terrible and abnormal we actually are.
What usually works for people with low self-esteem is stuff like writing out a list of very specific things we know we’re good at, and revisiting it every day to write a paragraph elaborating on one of those things (i.e. “I’m a compassionate person and here are five examples”) to try to set our brain on a different track long term. -
