The devil pulls me closer

holding my hand in his sleep

 I remember how he smiled when he met me

Eyes bright and burning

I let the devil take me home

Let him get me all alone

 Without the lights on

He could be anyone

But the warmth from his skin

is burning me 

so I wont forget

That who I am sleeping next to

is man of fire

 I look at him and wonder

If the devil can love

And wonder

what it is that satan dreams of

I don’t really post on here anymore, and its because I”m not sure of where I am.

I have just been working and finishing college and trying to relocate and get my head together. In three months I don’t know whats going to happen, but until then I”m going to ...I was going to say keep going, but maybe I’ wont. I think this time, I’ll slow down. Really feel every day--good or bad. Really experience my life and my home and my body and my surroundings.

I like my job and where I am living now. I think some small good things have finally settled into my life which feels so good. I am equally terrified , but i want to let that go. I don’t need fear to help me give value to what I want most. I can do this. I am doing this.

Be confused, it’s where you begin to learn new things. Be broken, it’s where you begin to heal. Be frustrated, it’s where you start to make more authentic decisions. Be sad, because if we are brave enough we can hear our heart’s wisdom through it. Be whatever you are right now. No more hiding. You are worthy, always.

He holds me so tight at night. Like my body is a priority to keep his hands focused on, even in his sleep.

Poet Taylor Steele captures the problem with appropriating Black slang.

In her poem “AAVE” (which stands for African-American Vernacular English) Taylor Steele explains why appropriation of Black slang is the worst.  African-American culture is being popularized on a daily basis and while Black people are judged and mistreated for using something they came up with ages ago, White people come off as cool and original when they use it.

The irony of some of y’all nonblack POC in the notes tagging this shit with heartfelt agreement as if y’all don’t appropriate and misuse AAVE too is what’s really making me laugh right now.

It ain’t just Beckie, Katie, and Skylar that appropriate this shit for themselves.

my mother always told me,  “watch what they do, not what they say”

so i watch what the ones i love do

and try not to worry about what I don’t hear.

but its still nice, when what they say gives them away.

he may not say “i love you” but last week when we woke up i heard ,

“this is exactly where I want to be right now. laying here, smoking, windows open, with you”

yesterday it was,

“this is like heaven. riding my bike through the tall grass, with the sun shining on your ass in front of me. I could do this forever.”

and got’dam....ill take being told our life is heaven, over needing “i love you” any day.

Remember when Disney was all like ‘fuck how races work and homogeneous casts and couples’?

Black and white couple produce fillipino-american child. White dude is the valet. White step mother, one white step sister, one black step sister. Just a jumble, and it ought to happen again.

Some facts from imdb:

First multi-racial cast performing Rodgers and Hammerstein’s Cinderella.

Whitney Houston was producing Rodger and Hammerstein’s “Cinderella” and was to star in it until she decided that Brandy Norwood would make a better Cinderella. Brandy would not do it unless her idol Whitney took the Fairy Godmother role.

Brandy Norwood became the first African-American to play Cinderella. This version broke viewer-ship records when it debuted, and it holds the record for the bestselling video for a made for TV movie.

So fuck any noise where people say audience don’t want to see a mixed race couple, or more people of color. This was a success from television. I still remember Brandy singing Impossible. 

That ought to happen again. Mixed race live action cast where the relationships don’t made genetic or racial sense.

From water on Mars to Pluto’s heart, 2015 was a huge year of discovery for NASA. These don’t even mention, the “close encounters” we had with celestial objects this year.
