Pick the Ones that Last

Personal Blog of Tamer Lorika -- books that made me fear words, stories that made me fear endings, and all that gives me strength to believe in both.

Can I give a shout out to a Brazilian photographer I adore? Rafael Freire @orafafreire on Insta, he's a Black Brazilian photographer that mainly focus on portraits of Black models. His photos are amazing. Sadly he lost his original account about a year ago that had much more material, but you can still see many of his pictures on his newer account.

Here's some of his works:

Oh these are PEAK I see why you love him!! They're so colorful and rich and dynamic! The one where the lady holds the flower to the sky feels religious almost, like it's that powerful. Oh I'm happy you shared these, this made my day. Afro Brazilians stand up!!

You can replace [ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY] with [SCROLLING] but watch out. This sucks bad 👍

Some things about this post since getting quite a few notes:

1. If you see this post, highly recommend taking it as an opportunity to set a timer for 15 minutes and switch over to ACTIVITY YOU ENJOY. if after those 15 minutes, you want to go back to scrolling, that's okay!

2. Huge shout out to this popping up in my notifs often, bc I do go back to activity.

3. I think there are times where scrolling is fine. Right now, for example, I'm being connected to a machine for two hours to donate plasma and platelets. Yes this is a brag but it is also a time where scrolling is one of the few things I can do. (Though I will probably also read or watch something on phone lol)

"But it's not FOR them!!!" The biggest military power in the world belongs to a christofascist nation overseen by a felon found guilty of 34 federal crimes and has greenlit a gestapo with more direct funding than the entire military of Canada for the purpose of ethnic cleansing.

At this point if anyone is trying to exclude anyone benignly pro-queer from a pro-queer space I'm just going to assume you're a fed or something idk like something something destabilize the movement from within or whatever

Okay, I might as well post it here.

I absolutely adore their dynamic. Their interactions are so gentle and respectful, yet at the same time heartbreakingly sincere and deeply caring.

the most important virtues for the young woman are as follows: time theft, selfishness, orgasms, irreverence to authority, sacrilegious behavior, a questioning mind, and eating regular meals.
