Being the Port

April 25, 2012

Miller and The Feminine Ideal

December 12, 2011

I posted the above picture of “plus-sized” model, Lizzie Miller on facebook the other day because I thought it was a step in the right direction for a glamour magazine to feature the body of a normal woman in a real life pose. The reactions I got were nothing short of fascinating. By a …

Like and Dislike

October 21, 2011

QOTD – Seth Godin

September 14, 2011

“Emerging is when you use a platform to come into your own. Merging is when you sacrifice who you are to become part of something else.

Merging is what the system wants from you. To give up your dreams and your identity to further the goals of the system. Managers push for employees to merge …
