Do you think about me when you’re all alone?
The things we used to do, we used to be
I could be the one to make you feel that way
I could be the one to set you free

Things have been crazy for me lately. And yet amidst it all I managed to catch a few brief moments of appreciation. The road to effort is confusing and exhausting, I will say that much..
I just need to be happy with the outcome. That isn’t something I know how to do right now.

About Limit(less)
Limit(less) is a photography project by Mikael Owunna (@owning-my-truth) documenting the fashion and style of LGBTQ African Immigrants (1st and 2nd generation) in diaspora. As LGBTQ Africans, we are constantly told that being LGBTQ is somehow “un-African,” and this rhetoric is a regular part of homophobic and transphobic discourse in African communities. This line of thinking, however, is patently false and exists an artifact of colonization of the African continent. Identities which would now be categorized as “LGBTQ” have always existed, and being LGBTQ does not make us “less” African.
Limit(less) explores how LGBTQ African immigrants navigate their identities and find ways to overcome the supposed “tension” between their LGBTQ and African identities through their fashion and style. The project seeks to visually deconstruct the colonial binary that has been set up between LGBTQ and African identities, which erases the lives and experiences of LGBTQ Africans. #LimitlessAfricans

Gene Wilder, Incomparable Comic Icon & ‘Willy Wonka’ Star, Dead At 83
Gene Wilder, Incomparable Comic Icon & ‘Willy Wonka’ Star, Dead At 83
Gene Wilder, star of movies “Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory,” “Blazing Saddles” and “Young Frankenstein,” has died at the age of 83.
Wilder’s nephew told the AP on Monday that he passed away late Sunday night in Stamford, Connecticut due to complications from Alzheimer’s disease.
The two-time Oscar nominee was born Jerry Silberman in Milwaukee and started studying acting at 13. His career began on the stage, where he met Mel Brooks while costarring in a Broadway production with his wife, Anne Bancroft. Their partnership was productive and legendary.
He began directing and writing in the mid-to-late 1980s, although he would always be more successful as an actor. His acting career was mostly finished by the early 1990s.
He moved to painting and writing books later in life. He is survived by his fourth wife, Karen Boyer.
He was always able to make us smile, and that is no small feat. Rest with the stars, Gene Wilder. pic.twitter.com/kxis66bIGd

NOT A DRILL. SETI investigating signal from deep space: “The signal’s strength indicates that if it in fact came from a isotropic beacon, the power source would have to be built by a Kardashev Type II civilization. (The Kardashev scale is used to determine the progress of a civilization’s technological development by measuring how much energy was used to transmit an interstellar message.) An ‘Isotropic’ beacon means a communication source emitting a signal with equal power in all directions while promoting signal strength throughout travel.”
SPAIN. Group takes action against gay conversion therapy.
CHARTS. Frank Ocean’s Blonde enters Billboard album chart at #1. “Ocean’s latest moved 276,000 equivalent album units out of the gate, and 232,000 of those were traditional album sales, compared to the 131,000 Channel Orange opened with in 2012.”
IT’S BRITNEY BITCH. VMAs comeback upstaged by “Lemonade”. “How could Brit follow that up? That’s like following up the Macy’s Fourth of July fireworks spectacular with a little kid playing with a defective sparkler in the backyard.”
COME THRU QUEEN. Welcome back to the #VMA stage, @britneyspears! t.co/6mbHjEc4aL

COREY LEWANDOWSKI. Media Matters says it’s time to do something: “CNN hired Corey Lewandowski in late June after Donald Trump relieved him of duties as campaign manager. What looked at first like an indefensible hire has mushroomed into perhaps the worst conflict-of-interest problem in the history of cable news. It’s time to send a message to Jeff Zucker and CNN: Cut ties with Corey Lewandowski at once.”
CHRIS HEMSWORTH. What Thor has been up to.
VMAS. Kanye West hijacks show with six-minute speech.
CHEEKY. Justin Bieber shows off his crackside (work-unfriendly).
ENDORSEMENTS. National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce endorses Hillary Clinton: “The National Gay & Lesbian Chamber of Commerce has never endorsed a candidate in its nearly fifteen year history, but the stakes have never been so high for the future of the LGBT business community. Hillary Clinton is the progressive champion our businesses and our families need to thrive,” said NGLCC Co-Founder and CEO Chance Mitchell. “The LGBT community has come too far to lose its seat at the table, and we are certain that Secretary Clinton will be the President fighting for the collective economic and social longevity of America’s 1.4 million LGBT business owners.”

FREAKNATURE. Lightning strike kills 323 reindeer in Norway: “The Norwegian Nature Inspectorate wrote in a press release that officials discovered a field of carcasses on Friday while they were supervising hunters in the area. The agency estimates about 2,000 reindeer live on the plateau each year. Now, about one-sixth of them are dead, including at least 70 calves.”
TRANSPORTATION. Amtrak’s Acela Express to get big upgrade: “The new trains will be capable of hitting a maximum speed of 186mph — close to Japan’s Shinkansen trains that travel at a maximum speed of about 200mph. In addition to higher speeds, the new trains will carry one-third more passengers, feature more power outlets and USB ports, have superior Wi-Fi connectivity and will be more efficient.”

DEATHSTROKE. Ben Affleck unveils Justice League character. “Slade Wilson has always been a great opponent for the team and looks great in the few silent moments Affleck has made available. One imagines he’ll square off against the Bat of Gotham, which should be a great fight.”
