Wait if Yahoo! buys Tumblr does that mean I can’t blog from home anymore?

Anonymous asked: How do you feel about your body

“Well I appreciate you hearing you say,you know, what did you say, ‘powerhousing your way through that song,’ because it was very important to me that if I were to work with Max Martin and do a song so pop-driven, that I was still able to be myself, and, you know, throughout my career it’s very apparent that I’m a risk-taker; that I, you know, sort of go off the beaten path and want to try new things — you know, getting DJ Premier aboard for my ‘Back to Basics’ record, you know, working with Sia and all these sort of electronic underground musicians and artists, gosh, for ‘Bionic’ was amazing — that was an experimental record. That will surpass time, and maybe it was too ahead of its time for some people, but music people, you know, they really really get my records and understand that I’m constantly evolving and growing. And so to come full circle now, it’s all about embracing everything that I love, and Max Martin came into the picture with this great song, but I said, “you know I can only do this if I’m allowed to be myself and if I put Christina on it and I can use my pipes.” Cause you know, doing the show, I realize how many people truly do, you know, get inspired to sing themselves, and it takes me back to a place where, yeah, I used to grow up listening to Whitney’s records, and you know, Etta James, and learning their ad-libs and runs and dissecting it and wanting to better myself. So I take it on as my own personal responsibility to keep that spirit alive, and I’m able to really sing vocally on ‘Your Body’ while still keeping it fun and fresh and sort of pop and…people love that. Ha ha! They love that.”

I run sometimes, and I had a guest pass at Equinox for a week in 2010.

I saw Badlands for the first time tonight at Film Forum, and I recognized every single shot from tumblr.

Did you know that Obama released this picture just to distract from his seven or eight scandals that are all utterly decapitating the first amendment?
