This is how I think I’m going to feel in about a week.

My whispers wisps.
The two pieces pushing each other to build with half-burned sticks and stones caked in mud, primitive tools and instruments, in hopes of building a tower that will vehemently reach for the stars that always wink down at us as if we are mortal,
and as if they believe themselves to be Gods.
Oh, but how wrong are they! They blink through the ages and augment their flames several thousand miles...

One day, I will live on Mango Street.
I want to feel like a child again. I want to hide behind cars as if they were giant space ships that I could board to visit other planets. I want to stand in a forest and imagine that the trees speak, in a slow and sluggish speech so ancient and beautiful that I could learn all the secrets of the world. I want to see a gorgeous woman and think of her as a great mother, a role I innocently cast on...

Don’t you dare hate on a brother because his skin’s not as light as yours. And don’t you fucking think about hatin’ on some one lighter than you. If you do, you’re missing the point, stressing over menial shit. Don’t let anyone break your stride, and remember, you’re beautiful, even if you’re ugly.
Darfur vs Gaza: African muslims are worth less... →
When the International Criminal Court finally indicted Omar al-Bashir, President of Sudan for his role in arming and supporting the janjaweed militias who are carrying out the literal genocide of non-Arab muslims in Darfur, what was the response of the Ummah? Accusations of bias and injustice, but not for the victims of Darfur, but rather their murderers. Muslim murderers.

Self-Empowerment
Indigenous peoples, Blacks, Arabs, Filipinos, the working class, the maimed, the homosexuals, the ugly, the women, the broken, the unloved, the weak, the Third World.
These are not worth less than the Whites, the Christians, the rich, the famous, the men, the beautiful, the elite, the heterosexuals, the powerful.

I’m living in links and through your smiling eyes.
Questions, books, problems, laughter, honesty.
I’m seeking humility and peace
in the gutters, with whores drunk with my wine,
in a narrowed brow, a clenched fist.
I reign over what’s mine, and for you to smile so honestly,
frightens
me.

run
measart:
after work i went to a park to look up as the sun began to drop out of the sky. it was cold and the wind was straight and fast. i didn’t plan to, but as soon as i hit the snowy grass i started to run. you know that feeling, when all you can do is take off and run. there is really nothing else that can be done, you just have to run. move. breathe. push. hurt. feel. so i ran and ran and...
I want intimacy. I can’t get that through fucking, but my God am I going to try.
The City of Lost Girls →
Since 1993 over 600 women in the city of Juarez, Mexico have disappeared, found murdered, in most cases brutally raped, and in all cases been scared. These acts are done with hatred or the thrill of it. The city is on the border with the United States and it is natural for drug cartels to pass through with the help of corrupt officials on both side of the border.

Anonymous asked: Have you ever loved a person in a way entirely separate from the affection you feel towards anyone else? You don't have to say who, I was just wondering if you know the feeling and if you know it well.
littlecartography asked: I hope this isn't intrusive, but you last posted that you liked a girl and you were going to tell her Thursday. Well. Today is Thursday, and I recalled what you had written and am silently wishing you well!

I like her. End of story.
I’m going to find out Thursday if she likes me. End of story.
