Today, after Marcos made me pancakes (g.f., to help my sore throat, of course!) I walked to a local coffee shop to meet with a friend to perhaps knit, and work out some emotional stuff we were both going through.
It was wonderful. She gave me an eraser to cut up and use as needle stoppers so that my projects would be safe in my bag during transport.
It began to sprinkle on my walk home. The...

Do you remember when we met in Gomorrah? When you were still beardless, and I would oil my hair in the lamp light before seeing you, when we were young, and blushed with youth like bruised fruit. Did we care then what our neighbors did in the dark?

But it’s not about individual people and their energy-saving computers. It’s not about solar panels being bad. It’s not about choosing organic being bad.
It is not about the individual, or the choices they are...

racialicious:
“Angela Davis, former Black Panther, is the go-to commentator on any protest or political uprising these days. (And, apparently, the go-to stencil for “street artists” designing nostalgic protest fliers.) So why hasn’t anyone asked her how she feels about the DREAM Act — the…

Or maybe if I lose I’ll be like I GOTTA TRY HARDER and shoot one anyway. WHO KNOWS? I could...

Where Are The White Women?

Lying amidst the hundreds of broken, bleeding bodies of friends, families and people they’ve never met, people crying out in languages they’ve never heard, sitting and sleeping in their own faeces and piss and vomit and menstrual fluid, jumping overboard into the Atlantic or being cast in there purposely because “the ship will buckle from too many Niggers being...

alexandraerin:
That’s probably because it’s hard to notice what white privilege does for you because white default has convinced you that it’s not anything extra, it’s just normal.

yoisthisracist: Yo, I can’t even deal with how many layers of wackness this question gets into, without even getting near any of the racism parts.
seriously, it’s like “I wanna do this thing & a bunch of people tell me it’s racist but I think it’s not really racist because I don’t think it is, so I’m gonna ask you now so hopefully you can tell me what I wanna hear.”

I took a bath with bubbles and vitamin e oil and I feel so soft and smooth, even though I’m wearing clothes I feel naked, as if the fabric is floating somewhere above my skin I’m surrounded with this warmth.
I took some pictures in the setting sun. You’ll see them in a few.
