Ocean Vuong
“I miss you more than I remember you.”
Ocean Vuong, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous

Jia Tolentino
“Beauty work is labeled “self-care” to make it sound progressive”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion

Tressie McMillan Cottom
“But if I believe that I can become beautiful, I become an economic subject. My desire becomes a marker.”
Tressie McMillan Cottom, Thick: And Other Essays

Jia Tolentino
“The default assumption tends to be that it is politically important to designate everyone as beautiful, that it is a meaningful project to make sure that everyone can become, and feel, increasingly beautiful. We have hardly tried to imagine what it might look like if our culture could do the opposite—de-escalate the situation, make beauty matter less.”
Jia Tolentino, Trick Mirror: Reflections on Self-Delusion

Tressie McMillan Cottom
“Sisters weren’t really angry about my breakdown of just how dangerous Miley Cyrus’s performance on a televised award show actually was. They weren’t exactly angry that I pointed out the size and shape of the black woman dancers behind her. What many black women were angry about was how I located myself in what I’d written. I said, blithely as a matter of observable fact, that I am unattractive. Because I am unattractive, the argument went, I have a particular kind of experience of beauty, race, racism, and interacting with what we might call the white gaze.”
Tressie McMillan Cottom, Thick: And Other Essays
