will
split you wild.
do not worry.
you will bleed water.
do not worry.
this is grief.
your smile will fall out and down your skin
and
there will be some scorching.
but do not worry.
keep speaking the years from their hiding places.
keep coughing up smoke from all the deaths you have died.
keep the rage tender.
because the soft season will come
it will come
loud
ready
gulping
both hands in your heart
up all night
up all of the nights
to drink all damage into love."

How The Face Changes With Shifting A Light Source
this is amazing.
still one of my favorite posts

Fear inhibits innovation. In expensive cities, people live in constant fear. A small wrong move can upend everything, so they conform, terrified of losing their jobs, apartments, health insurance. They conform intellectually, and they conform in behavior. They cling to a career ladder with a drop-off to hell. I don’t judge them. People do what they need to do to survive. But when survival is an aspiration, society has failed.

Thanks!
It looks like it spends most of its time calling out metal and hardcore, which are nearly as criticized as hip-hop (rightly so! but already done!). I’ll be trolling through the archives for indie/lighter music, because I’m really interested in how it gets away with that kind of stuff, like “I Will Posses Your Heart” by Death Cab for Cutie.
also i want another reason to hate twee shit like mumford and sons and all those other fuckers with ukelelesOh my god I will posses your heart is fucking terrifying and so is a lot of mumford and sons shit
Fucking thank you.

Members of Congress are living off food stamps for a week to protest Republican cuts. It’s a challenge for them, but GOP cuts would hurt millions of everyday Americans.
Why does this not have more publicity. This needs it!

Susan Meiselas, “Nicaragua” (1978-9)
When I went it was quite a strange experience. The general impression I had from Nicaragua was that everybody was waiting for something. And it was waiting for something that they were going to do. Increasingly I felt that the kind of pictures I was taking gave maybe a small clue as to the texture of their lives, but very little.
I spent six weeks there principally, because all I could feel was that I wasn’t doing anything that gave a feeling for what in fact was going on there. Not going on in the world of events, but going on in terms of how people were feeling. And that still plagues me because I am not a war photographer in the sense that I didn’t go there for that purpose. I’m really interested in how things come about and not just in the surface of what it is.
