The butterfly that lives a day Has lived eternity @lilblubird - Tumblr Blog

When it is but it aint Some of us love badly. Sometimes the love is the type of love that implodes. Folds in on itself. Eats its insides. Turns wine to poison. Behaves poorly in restaurants. Drinks. Kisses other people. Comes back to your bed at 4am smelling like everything outside. Asks about your ex. Is jealous of your ex. Thinks everyone a rival. Some of us love others badly, love ourselves worse. Some of us love horrid, love beastly. Love sick love anti light. Sometimes the love can’t go home at night, can’t sleep with itself cannot contain itself, catches fire, destroys the belly, strips buildings, goes missing. Punches. Smashes heirlooms. Tells lies. The best lies. Fucks around. Writes poems, impresses people. Chases lovers into corners. Leaves them longing. Sea sick. Says yes. Means anything but. Tricks the body. Kills the body. Dances wild and walks away, smiling.

I did this radio show and the deejay asks me, ‘What if you woke up tomorrow and you were beautiful?’ What do you mean ‘what if’? He said, ‘What if you woke up and you were blonde and you had blue eyes and you were 5’11 and you weighed 100 pounds and you were beautiful? What would you do?’ And I said, ‘Well, I probably wouldn’t get up ‘cause I’d be too weak to stand.’ And I felt very sorry for him, ‘cause if that’s the only kind if person that you think is beautiful, you must not see very much beauty in the world. And I think everybody is beautiful. And if you don’t think that I am beautiful, you are missing out. Because I am so beautiful.

This morning SpeakOut! received an anonymous email from those behind the Louis Brandeis protest art installation. This message was included along with these pictures: "This act of protest was inspired by Emma Sulkowicz and her recent senior art thesis. Her thesis is a performance piece in response to Columbia University’s mishandling of her own sexual assault case during her sophomore year. For her project, titled “Mattress Performance” or “Carry That Weight”, she will be carrying around a extra long twin-sized mattress with her to symbolize the lasting effects of her trauma that follow her through her daily life. We want to support Emma in bringing the issue of sexual violence and institutional complacency to light.

We chose to place the mattress on the statue of Louis Brandeis because he has come to represent the fight for social justice in our nation and is simultaneously the face of our university. The statue depicts Louis Brandeis struggling against the winds of injustice. We need the community to recognize that sexual violence is as real and prevalent as any other injustice and that Brandeis is failing to respond to it as such. In the above pictures, Louis is representative of the survivors at this university who carry the burden of their experiences on a day-to-day basis. Our goal is first to show our support for Emma and all survivors. In addition to this, we hope to catch the attention, not only of our senior administrators, but the entire Brandeis community so that survivors no longer have to #CarryThatWeight alone.”

i’m seeing a lot of people reblogging suicide hotlines and this is just a reminder that this is a suicide help line that works like a text-based instant messenger for people who may need to talk to someone but have trouble/are uncomfortable making phone calls
